Budd Johnson and the Four Brass Giants is an album by saxophonist Budd Johnson which was recorded in 1960 and released on the Riverside label.

Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "The great Budd Johnson, who takes tenor solos throughout the date and also contributes a bit of clarinet in addition to providing the arrangements, is matched with four distinctive and very different trumpeters ... the group performs four swing standards and four of Johnson's swinging originals. The colorful brassmen, Budd's versatile solos, and the inventive arrangements make this a particularly memorable set. Highly recommended". In JazzTimes, Duck Baker observed "The soloing is inspired, the program is well chosen and Johnson’s arrangements are great. This is modern-mainstream jazz at its best". - Wikipedia

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

Tubbs in N.Y. is an album by British jazz saxophonist Tubby Hayes, recorded in October 1961 and released on Fontana Records in 1962. It was the first New York studio session to arise from Hayes's debut residency at the Half Note Club, made possible through a unique exchange of Hayes and Zoot Sims by the British and American musician unions. Though a prolific composer, none of Hayes's own compositions were selected for inclusion on the album. Instead those selected were either originals composed by session contributor, Clark Terry, or interpretations of jazz standards by Sonny Rollins and George Gershwin.

Hayes considered the session to be one of his finest, owing to the strong contributions from the New York based rhythm section, which included Horace Parlan, George Duvivier, and Dave Bailey.

Oscar Peterson Trio + One is a 1964 album by Oscar Peterson, featuring Clark Terry

Oscar Peterson Trio + One Review by Stephen Cook

Some guest soloists get overshadowed by Oscar Peterson's technical prowess, while others meet him halfway with fireworks of their own; trumpeter Clark Terry lands in the latter camp on this fine 1964 session. With drummer Ed Thigpen and bassist Ray Brown providing solid support, the two soloists come off as intimate friends over the course of the album's ten ballad and blues numbers. And while Peterson shows myriad moods, from Ellington's impressionism on slow cuts like "They Didn't Believe Me" to fleet, single-line madness on his own "Squeaky's Blues," Terry goes in for blues and the blowzy on originals like "Mumbles" and "Incoherent Blues"; the trumpeter even airs out some of his singularly rambling and wonderful scat singing in the process...

Rah is a 1961 studio album by Mark Murphy, arranged by Ernie Wilkins.

This was Murphy's first Riverside Records album, and he is supported by an orchestra including Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Urbie Green, Ernie Royal, Clark Terry and Jimmy Cobb.

The Allmusic review by Eugene Chadbourne awarded the album four stars and said that Rah "has worn well over the years...On tracks such as "Green Dolphin Street," he dives into the rhythm with the relaxed calm of an expert. And when the result can be the harebrained complexity of "Twisted" or the funky timing of "Doodlin'," the wisdom of letting the experts handle the hard work has never been more apparent" - Wikipedia
