A fine first survey of classics recorded for Prestige, Cadet and Elektra, with some magnificent rarities and an essential unissued folk-funk recovery, and a decent booklet.

Bouncy Lady! The first of their six Fantasy albums via Wayne Henderson’s At Home Productions. Tasty jazz-funk and soul from the Portland crew.

More lovely funk, Latin jazz and soul, bridging the Dust Yourself Off and Joyous albums. Kicks off with a bumping collaboration with Wayne Henderson and Side Effect, much sampled — and features Ghettos Of The Mind.

The big band, with Frank Rosolino, Phil Woods, James Moody and the rest, and pianist Lalo Schifrin leading the way through his compositions. Plus four live Quintet tracks, from 1961, the year before.

A compilation of the best of their Westbounds.

‘Classic Vinyl Series.’

Two LPs: ‘Space Flight’ (1960) with Sam Lazar (organ), Willie Dixon (bass) and Chauncey Williams (drums); and ‘Iron City’ (1967) with Big John Patton (organ) and Ben Dixon (drums).

The new LP is in the ‘Blue Note Classic Vinyl’ series.

From 1963 — with Wendell Marshall (bass), Willie Bobo (drums), Johnny Acea (piano), Carlos ‘Patato’ Valdes (congas), Gavin Masseaux (chekere); and on the last two Ike Quebec and Sonny Clark.

‘Classic vinyl series.’

‘Best of all his Blue Notes… Quebec is on cracking form here, and his pitch and phrasing on Someday My Prince Will Come should be a lesson to all young jazz players. Green has, for us, his finest hour, ripping though My One And Only Love and If I Should Lose You with a ruggedness of emotion that goes hand and hand with the simplicity of diction. Not a single note is wasted’ (The Penguin Guide To Jazz).
