Cleopatra Feelin' Jazzy is a jazz album recorded in 1963 by Paul Gonsalves.

Review by Stephen Cook

...Cleopatra -- Feelin' Jazzy finds the famed Ellington soloist in the prime company of hard boppers like pianist Hank Jones, organist Dick Hyman, guitarist Kenny Burrell, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Roy Haynes. The band shines throughout, with Hyman's organ adding exotic film theater ambience on the two North cuts that kick off the album.. Switching over to more straightforward fare, Gonsalves and company stretch out on Burrell's "Bluz for Liz" (read Elizabeth Taylor, one of the leads in the movie) and Ellington's "Action in Alexandria."..Gonsalves impresses with both complexly swinging solos and breathy ballad statements. A very fine effort by one of the unsung giants of jazz.

Boom-Jackie-Boom-Chick is a jazz album recorded in 1963 by Paul Gonsalves.

The album's liner notes claim that it was recorded in the "winter of 1962-63" in Switzerland after an impromptu meeting between Gonsalves and the British rhythm section. The album was recorded Feb 27, 1963. At the time, Gonsalves was in Paris with the Duke Ellington orchestra, and it is speculated that the session was organized by British musician Jackie Sharpe (Jack Sharpe) and actually recorded at Lansdowne Studios in London, with the Switzerland story concocted for the liner notes to avoid problems with US and UK music union regulations.

The original LP was pressed in small quantities, allegedly around 500, making it a rare collector's item. The title song was included on the compilation Impressed 2 with Gilles Peterson in 2004 - Wikipedia

Ellingtonia Moods and Blues is an album recorded in 1960 led by Paul Gonsalves.

In a review for AllMusic, Cub Koda called the album "one potent date," and wrote: "This is jazz from the days when albums were recorded in one day, and that was a good thing."

Jack Sohmer, writing for Jazz Times, stated: "Despite its brevity, this is an excellent and little-known session."

Pianist and composer Ethan Iverson commented: "The 'Ellington without Ellington' records are their own universe and I've never heard a bad one. I am keeping Ellingtonia Moods and Blues out and about in order to remember to keep listening to it. Gonsalves and Hodges know something particularly private and wonderful about playing the saxophone."- Wikipedia
