Niles Littlebig is an album by Randy Weston's African Rhythms recorded in 1969 in Paris, France, and originally released on the French Polydor label. - Wikipedia

"Niles Littlebig by Randy Weston's African Rhythms ain't your average jazz record. Recorded in Paris back in '69, it's got this weird, loose energy - like the band's half in the studio, half already dancing down the street. You can feel the heat, the sweat, the late-night vibe. No sterile perfection here. That's a good thing...."

Tippin' the Scales is an album by American saxophonist Jackie McLean. It was originally recorded in 1962, but was first released only in 1979 on the Japanese Blue Note label..

The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4 stars and stated: "Though it's one of the more conventional items in McLean's discography, Tippin' the Scales offers an opportunity to hear the altoist in an uncommonly relaxed quartet setting, playing at a typically high level of musicianship." - Wikipedia
