Blues for Dracula is the debut album by American jazz drummer Philly Joe Jones which was recorded in 1958 for the Riverside label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow described it as a "worthwhile but not overly essential release". It features Jones's vocal impersonation of Bela Lugosi. The album "became an instant classic thanks to the title track." - Wikipedia

West Montgomery - Full House

Meeting of some greats here - Montgomery (guitar), joined by the Wynton Kelly Trio (Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Jimmy Cobb (drums)), along with Johnny Griffin (tenor).

Recorded live in 1962 at Tsubo in Berkeley, California—a hot set (supposedly the crowd had to endure some repeats to get a good take, but they've certainly retained their enthusiasm).

Glidin' Along is an album by American trombonist Bennie Green recorded in 1961 and released on the Jazzland label.

According to critic Scott Yanow of AllMusic, Green's style straddled swing music and soul, making him one of the few trombonists of the 1950s and '60s uninfluenced by the pioneering sound of J.J. Johnson. - Wikipedia

Chet Baker in New York

Chet flies from California to NYC to take a bite out of the 1958 Big Apple. Meeting him here are Miles' rhythm section (Philly Joe Jones & Paul Chambers), along with Al Haig (piano), and Johnny Griffin (tenor).

Lots of melodic songs with good playing all around, and the rhythm section pushes everyone into a less West Coast style.
