That is a nice post, Jim. Makes me remember Trane's Impressions and Jim Beam moving me to tears when I lived in Santa Cruz.
Here are a few suggestions in the spirit of the thread:
Hank Mobley, Roll Call. Hank is underrated, I think.
Art Pepper, Modern Art. Prefer it to Meets, another great one.
Red Garland, Groovy. Also underrated.
Miles Quintet, Cookin. My favorite of the In recordings, and the one that got me started on Jazz.
Herbie Mann, Live at the Village. If you have this and Modern Art, you have two of the greatest renderings of "Summertime." Season's Greetings! John
