Mose Allison, Mose Allison Sings, 1963 on Prestige
Compilation of tracks from Allison's first albums which had been released on Prestige between 1957 and 1959. Though he was first known as a pianist, he gradually sang more and more. This was the first compilation in which he sang on every track. All were recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, and Ira Gitler wrote the liner notes. My copy—via Mystery Train Records in Gloucester MA—is a mid-sixties (c1965) reissue on dark blue Prestige labels.

Mose Allison, Your Mind is On Vacation, 1976 on Atlantic
Allison's 10th record on Atlantic and 20th overall. Of course the rest of the title couplet is "but your mouth is working overtime." Great record, executive produced by Nesuhi Ertegun, with Jack Hannah (bass), Gerry Granelli (drums, Al Cohn & Joe Farrell (tenor sax), David Sanborn (alto sax), and Al Porcino (trumpet) - players vary by track. My copy—via Big Fun Records in Beverly MA—is a Presswell pressing with a promotional sticker on Atlantic labels.https://goatless.org/2026/05/22/mose-allison-your-mind-is-on-vacation-1976-on-atlantic
Mose Allison, Back Country Suite, 1957 on Prestige
Mose Allison's debut album, recorded at Van Gelder's studio in Hackensack in March 1957, with Taylor La Fargue (bass) and Frank Isola (drums). Largely instrumental.

The OJC series is a great way to find these Prestige records in good […]https://goatless.org/2026/05/18/mose-allison-back-country-suite-1957-on-prestige
Ramblin' with Mose is the sixth album to be released (but fourth recorded) by blues/jazz pianist and vocalist Mose Allison which was recorded in 1958 and released on the Prestige label.
Thom Jurek of Allmusic states, "Allison displays absolutely brilliant instrumental prowess as both an arranger and as an improviser. His unique, often unorthodox interpretations of standards and pop songs set him apart from virtually every one of his peers" - Wikipedia
