Andi ChorleyCollege Tour by Patty Waters, released on ESP-Disk in 1966.
"In the Spring of 1966, ESP was given a grant by the New York State Council on the Arts, to tour the five colleges in the state with music departments. Artists for this tour included the Sun Ra Arkestra, Burton Greene, Patty Waters, Giuseppi Logan and Ran Blake. Accompanied by an all star backup group from among the participants, Patty's performances resulted in the album, "College Tour", her second recording for ESP-Disk'. The album expands upon the vocal acrobatics that were heard on her first recording, "Sings". "College Tour" won second place for Vocal Recording in Jazz and Pop Magazine in 1970."

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

The Divine Sarah Sings is a 1954 EP album by Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by the Hugo Peretti Orchestra.
The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album three stars and said that "This now-rare ten-inch LP is a quintessential artifact of the 1950s; easy listening in gleaming hi-fi for the white suburbs. Miss Sassy does her job supremely well, even making stoic work of the cuter-than-words treatment of "Honey," and occasionally she gets a chance to show off her uniquely wide-screen range, turning in an especially lovely "Tenderly" with some virtuosic glides". - Wikipedia

Double Exposure is an album by vocalist Chris Connor and trumpeter/bandleader Maynard Ferguson featuring tracks recorded in late 1960 and early 1961 which was originally released on the Atlantic label.
The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer commented: "Connor is in good voice throughout, and the band is in fine fettle". AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "With the exception of trumpeter Ferguson, there are few significant solos, and the big band mostly acts as an ensemble. Both Connor and MF were Kenton alumni, and there are moments where the orchestra reminds one of that band, but the focus is mostly on the singer ... although one wishes there was more interplay with the orchestra" - Wikipedia

Comme à la radio is the fourth album by experimental French singer Brigitte Fontaine, recorded with Areski Belkacem (in their first collaboration) and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. It was released in 1969 on the Saravah label after a series of concerts in 1969. It is Fontaine's most famous album, and is known outside of France on the 1990s alt-rock scene, thanks to laudatory comments from Beck and Sonic Youth
The album received the Grand Prix du Disque of the Académie Charles Cros that same year. The single "Comme à la radio" has been covered by Japanese artist Jun Togawa in 2000 - Wikipedia
I picked this up in a bargain bin in the 80s, knowing the Art Ensemble but not Brigitte Fontaine. Taking a chance was rewarded.
