The Four Brothers... Together Again! is an album by the saxophonists Herbie Steward, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims and Serge Chaloff, who were collectively known as the Four Brothers, recorded in 1957 for the RCA Records subsidiary Vik label.

In a review for All About Jazz, Marc Myers called the recording "a superb album that shows off the enormous reed work of four seasoned swingers," and wrote: "The saxophonists sounded as one together but went their merry way when playing alone... The emphasis on blended harmonies and Young-like saxes playing together would become the basis for West Coast jazz just a few years later."

A reviewer for Billboard commented: "The blowing is the thing, and the fellows... give fine accountings of themselves." - Wikipedia

Candido by Candido Featuring Al Cohn, released on ABC Paramount in 1956

One of the jazziest Candido albums ever – a tight little 50s set that features the master congolero working with a small combo that includes Al Cohn on tenor, Dick Katz on piano, and Joe Puma on guitar! The sound is nice and stripped-down – bristling with a percussive approach to the grooves that really seems to inspire the soloists – especially Cohn, who's playing here with a tone that we didn't expect! The session jams along nicely throughout – and tracks include "Perdido", "Candi Bar", "Mambo Inn", "Candido's Camera", and "Indian Summer" - Dusty Groove

Tenor Conclave is a studio album by John Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Al Cohn, and Zoot Sims. It was recorded in 1956 and issued in early 1957 by Prestige Records.

Tenor Conclave Review by Lindsay Planer

...The Mobley-penned title track commences the effort with the quartet of tenors showing off their stuff in high-flying style....Wrapping up Tenor Conclave is an ultra-cool and sophisticated "How Deep Is the Ocean?" Cohn commences the long and luscious reading with a subtle strength, suggesting the powerful undercurrent flowing throughout the number. Also, listeners are treated to what is possibly Garland's finest interaction, leading right into Sims, Chambers, and finally a sublime Coltrane caboose.

That's How I Love the Blues! is an album by American jazz vocalist Mark Murphy featuring tracks recorded in late 1962 for the Riverside label.

DownBeat awarded the album 4.5 stars. Don Nelsen, reviewing the album said, "What makes Murphy so impressive is his command of diction, dynamics, nuance, time, and phrasing...Cohn’s arrangements and the band he recruited to back Murphy are first rate".

MusicHound Jazz awarded the album 5 bones. Reviewer Andrew Gilbert calls the album "one of the widest ranging explorations of the blues ever put to record".[6] He singles out the "hip hard bop" of "Senor Blues", the Kansas City blues of "Goin' to Chicago Blues", and show tunes "Blues in the Night" calling the charts by Al Cohn "as witty and deep as Murphy's singing, making this one of the era's essential vocal albums". - Wikipedia

Either Way is an album by Zoot Sims and Al Cohn recorded in Philadelphia in 1961 for the Fred Miles Presents label.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "It is fun to hear Sims and Cohn work with a vocalist, jamming behind him and launching into their solos. The five instrumentals, which include the riffing "P-Town," the only ballad of the date ("Autumn Leaves") and the heated blues "Morning Fun," are excellent too, making this a set well worth picking up". - Wikipedia
