Fred Jackson - Hootin' 'n' Tootin'

Although this comes from 1962 (Jackson's only session as a leader), it sounds more like later Blue Note, given the soul-jazz focus.

Regardless, lots to enjoy across the two sides.

Features Jackson (tenor), Earl Van Dyke (organ), Willie Jones (guitar), Sam Jones (bass), Wilbert Hogan (drums).

The Max Roach Trio Featuring the Legendary Hasaan is an album by American jazz drummer Max Roach with pianist Hasaan Ibn Ali, recorded in 1964 and released on the Atlantic label in March 1965. It is the only recording featuring Ibn Ali released during his lifetime.

Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars with reviewer Scott Yanow stating: "This is a classic of its kind and it is fortunate that it was made, but it is a tragedy that Hasaan would not record again and that he would soon sink back into obscurity"- Wikipedia
