Clarinescapade by Bobby Jaspar Quartet & Quintet, released on Fresh Sounds Records in 2007 but recorded in 1956.

Bobby Jaspar was a young Belgian tenor saxophonist and flautist who arrived in New York in April 1956. His reputation in Europe was considerable, but he was practically unknown in the States. Nonetheless, when trombonist J.J. Johnson engaged Bobby for his newly formed quintet, he finally achieved the recognition he deserved. From that moment on, he enjoyed great success, winning Down Beats critics poll award in the New Star Tenor Sax category during the summer of 1956.

These recordings were made on three dates during the fall of that same year. The music is varied in theme and mood, and Jaspar, as well as performing on tenor sax, clarinet and flute, displays a musical expression entirely his own, playing with a great deal of warmth and imagination...

Guitar And The Wind by Barry Galbraith released on Decca in 1958

Marc Myers wrote for JazzWax:

"Barry Galbraith was one of New York's busiest session jazz guitarists in the 1950s and '60s. Between 1941 and the late 1970s, he was on 620 recording dates, a staggering total. How many albums did he record as a leader under his name? Just one—Guitar and the Wind, for Decca..

The album is beautifully arranged, swings tastefully and is a gorgeous example of what made Galbraith special. His chord voicings were seductive and his improvised runs were tasty and unbeatable.

Recorded in January 1958 over three days, the album featured the following personnel and tracks:

Urbie Green, Chauncey Welsch and Frank Rehak (tb); Dick Hixson (b-tb); Bobby Jaspar (fl,ts); Eddie Costa (p,vib); Barry Galbraith (g); Milt Hinton (b); Osie Johnson (d) and Billy Byers (arr)"
