Hootin' 'n Tootin' is the debut album by American saxophonist Fred Jackson, and the sole recording under his leadership, recorded in 1962 and released on the Blue Note label.

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "Hootin' 'n Tootin' is a thoroughly enjoyable set of funky soul-jazz with hard bop overtones. It is true that Jackson doesn't try anything new on the set, but he proves to be a capable leader... the result is a modest but highly entertaining set of earthy, bluesy soul-jazz that should have been heard by a wider audience" - Wikipedia

Face to Face is the debut album by jazz organist Baby Face Willette featuring performances recorded and released on the Blue Note label in 1961.

The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer stated: "If it is warm and appealing visceral music, it is also wholly predictable. There's not a single surprise on either side".[3] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and stated "Face to Face boasts a mighty meat and potatoes soul-jazz lineup... Highly recommended" - Wikipedia
