It's Magic is the third album by American jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln featuring tracks recorded in 1958 for the Riverside label
The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars, and reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "Because Abbey Lincoln has always been careful to sing songs that have a deep meaning for her, all of her recordings through the years are memorable in their own way; there are no duds in her discography...
In an article for The Guardian, John Fordham noted that the album finds Lincoln "taking on the agenda and urgency of the civil rights movement and the edginess of a freer kind of jazz still to come," and commented: "'Ain't Nobody's Business'... and 'Little Niles'... are lyrically irresistible."

According to Wikipedia:
“Dorham shared a stage with Miles Davis in 1956. According to Davis's biography, after the performance, Jackie McLean "looked me straight in the eye and said, 'Miles, tonight Kenny is playing so beautiful, you sound like an imitation of yourself.’””
That'd be this same year and, indeed, he's playing great on this album.
Kenny Dorham - The Complete 'Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia
Recent Tone Poet release of this classic 1956 set, expanded with the tracks added in the 1984 Japan release, plus more.
Dorham and the band (J. R. Monterose (tenor), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Bobby Timmons (piano), Sam Jones (bass), andArthur Edghill (drums)) are locked in and playing great.
Beautiful mono recording, mastering, pressing. Highly recommended.
That's Him! is the second album by American jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln featuring tracks recorded in 1957 for the Riverside label.
Eric Ajaye of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation wrote:
"While her debut was a flowery orchestral session featuring a big band with strings, this sophomore date pitted Abbey's expressive voice against some of New York's leading voices... Here, we get our first glimpse of a revitalised Abbey Lincoln, and both she and Roach would take this incandescent energy into the next decade with music made in response to the civil rights movement."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "Dorham is one of the most naturally vocal of the bop trumpeters and as such is an ideal partner, though it's the still underrated Kelly who carries the day." - Wikipedia

Page One is the debut album by American jazz tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, recorded and released by Blue Note Records in 1963...
AllMusic describes the album as a "particularly strong and historic effort".[7] According to All About Jazz, Page One is still one of Henderson's "most critically acclaimed albums".[8][9] PopMatters, by contrast, prefers later works, indicating in one review that Page One "has the careful feel of a leader's first session". The album was identified by Scott Yanow in his AllMusic essay, "Hard Bop", as one of the 17 Essential hard bop Recordings - Wikipedia

Sonny Boy is a 1961 album by jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins comprising four tracks from his final recordings for the Prestige label, three of which were originally released on Tour de Force, along with an unissued performance from the session that produced Rollins Plays for Bird.
AllMusic critic Scott Yanow states: "Tour de Force is a more logical purchase, although the music on this CD does feature the immortal tenor saxophonist in fine form." - Wikipedia
