Manhattan Stories
by Charles Lloyd, released on Resonance in 2014.

Two 1965 New York Concerts, Disc 1 recorded at Judson Hall & Disc 2 recorded at Slugs' Saloon.

A remarkable and previously unrecorded quartet featuring three jazz giants: guitarist Gábor Szabó, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Pete La Roca.

'It was a specific time and place'; Lloyd told Manhattan Stories annotator Don Heckman. 'We all felt like the boundaries were being dissolved and we could do or try anything. This is a music of freedom and wonder -- we were young and on the move.'

The Judson Hall recording comes from the archives of Resonance founder George Klabin, whose trove has previously yielded treasures from Bill Evans and Jimmy Giuffre. The Slugs' performances were recorded by Bjorn von Schlebrugge, who accompanied Lloyd to his Manhattan gigs.

To Sweden with Love is an album of Swedish folk music by Art Farmer's Quartet featuring guitarist Jim Hall recorded in Stockholm in 1964 and originally released on the Atlantic label.

Farmer's account was that his band was touring in Sweden not long after the Swedish pianist Jan Johansson had had a commercially successful recording of Swedish folk songs; a record company official "comes to me and says, 'How about you guys do an album of Swedish folk songs?' I said, 'We don't know any Swedish folk songs.' [...] He said, 'Okay, I’ll get the music'"..

The Allmusic review states "The band's cool and restrained style suits the music perfectly, turning it into jazz without losing its essence" - Wikipedia

“Lazy Afternoon” by Pete La Roca (1965)

In this session, La Roca and band created a brilliant album greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes, Joe Henderson’s sax tone and soloing is great, but what about the brilliant interplay between he and pianist Steve Kuhn?
How about the rhythm section of La Roca and bassist Steve Swallow?
Love the atmosphere the band creates on this one.
