The Grass Is Greener by Grassella Oliphant released on Atlantic in 1967.

Review by Stephen Cook

...With guitarist Grant Green and B-3 master John Patton completing the classic organ combo setup, the trio particularly stretch out on fine numbers like "Cantaloupe Woman" and Patton's own "Soul Woman." While these cuts are marked by a progressive, almost modal sound, much of the other material, which also features tenor saxophonist Harold Ousley and trumpeter Clark Terry, has a more down home and groove-heavy flavor; this is especially true on Terry's "Peaches Are Better Down the Road" and a cover of Allen Toussaint's classic bit of New Orleans soul, "Get Out of My Life Woman." Other standouts include a rendition of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't That Peculiar" and Ousley's breezy Latin swinger "The Latter Days." A great set.

New York City R&B is a 1961 free jazz album originally recorded at a session by bassist Buell Neidlinger but subsequently reissued under joint names with the pianist Cecil Taylor.

Writing for AllMusic, Scott Yanow commented: "The music is quite advanced for the period, although more accessible to the average listener than Taylor's later recordings; one can hear, even in abstract form, his connection to the bebop tradition and to Duke Ellington." - Wikipedia

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

My dad bought this when it came out!

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.
