The Montreal Scene by Nick Ayoub Quintet, released on RCA Victor as part of their Canada International series in 1964.
"Nick Ayoub was a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator whose impact on Canadian jazz—especially in Montreal—spanned five decades. A virtuoso of the tenor saxophone, oboe, English horn, flute, and clarinet, he seamlessly bridged jazz, classical, and studio work with a versatility matched by few of his generation.
In 1964, he assembled the Nick Ayoub Quintet for a CBC International Service broadcast, which led to a high-profile performance at the Montreal Jazz Festival and the group’s landmark album The Montreal Scene ..."

'Four' & More: Recorded Live in Concert is a live album by Miles Davis. It was recorded at the Philharmonic Hall of Lincoln Center on February 12, 1964 and released two years later.
Review by Scott Yanow
In an odd bit of programming, Columbia placed the ballads from Miles Davis' February 12, 1964, concert on My Funny Valentine and the uptempo romps on this LP. Davis, probably a bit bored by some of his repertoire and energized by the teenage Tony Williams' drumming, performed many of his standards at an increasingly faster pace as time went on. These versions of "So What," "Walkin'," "Four," "Joshua," "Seven Steps to Heaven," and even "There Is No Greater Love" are remarkably rapid, with the themes quickly thrown out before Davis, George Coleman, and Herbie Hancock take their solos...

Iberian Waltz by Sadao Watanabe & Charlie Mariano, released on Columbia as part of their Takt Jazz Series in 1969.
Nice hardbop with some modal playing from these two jazz greats.

Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after my swim with Ballads a jazz album by John Coltrane released in January 1963 by Impulse! Records. It was recorded in December 1961 and 1962, and released with catalogue number A-32 (mono) and AS-32 (stereo). Critic Gene Lees stated that the quartet had never played the tunes before. "They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs" and just before the recordings, they "would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they'd use, semi-rehearse for a half hour and then do it". Each piece was recorded in one take, except for "All or Nothing at All". In 2008, the album was a recipient of the Grammy Hall of Fame award. - Wikipedia

New Call From France by The Jef Gilson Nonet feat. Jean Louis Chautemps, released in 1966 on SABA.
London Jazz Collector wrote:
Three of France’s outstanding front-line players: Jean-Louis Chautemps, Francois Janneau and Claude Lenissois – come into their own as solists in a nonet setting, an excellent showcase for their talents without an overwhelming nineteen-piece big band setting...
It covers familiar Gilson territory, large ensemble with European/ romantic melody leanings but lots of fire in the belly. One, maybe two tracks I recognised from Gilson compendium albums, merely recognition of outstanding material, and much better heard in context of the whole contemporary album rather than a sampler of “picked cherries” without context.
