Right Down Your Alley by Ray Anderson released in 1984 on Soul Note.

Right Down Your Alley Review by Scott Yanow

"Trombonist Ray Anderson's third set as a leader (following fairly obscure efforts for the Auricle and Moers Music labels) uses the same trio that was on his first release. Anderson interacts closely with bassist Mark Helias and drummer Gerry Hemingway. The occasional infectious rhythms and the trombonist's often wild humor keep the music (all originals by bandmembers) from ever getting dull or predictable."

Invitation is an album by the Billy Bang Quintet, led by violinist Bang, and featuring saxophonist Charles Tyler, pianist Curtis Clark, double bassist Wilber Morris, and drummer Dennis Charles. It was recorded on April 13–14, 1982, at Barigozzi Studios in Milano, Italy, and was released later that year by the Soul Note label.

Writing for The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide, Fred Goodman noted that Invitation, on which Bang's "depth as a composer, leader and instrumentalist [is] most in evidence," is "characterized by an unorthodox swing and will appeal to more traditionally minded listeners through [its] strong dedication to melody and rhythm." - Wikipedia

Hand to Hand (1980) - George Adams and Dannie Richmond with Jimmy Knepper, Hugh Lawson, and Mike Richmond

Solid. When I hear Yamani's Passion I always think it's an Arthur Blythe composition.
