Just listened to Bill Charlap, live at the Vanguard. A genius at work, with his great trio, and a GREAT RECORDING! Top of my list!! 

Thanks for this one...Really good as many Japan jazz musician are blended with american one...

Something a little difficult to find, but worth it if you can is "Long Yellow Road" by the Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Big Band.

I love Randy Lewis “The In Crowd” as well. The crowd was just getting into it! 
I have been listening to “Live At The Bijou” by Grover Washington. He and the band were really cooking that night. “All Around The Town” by Bob James is a lot of fun, too.

I was fortunate enough to see T. A. / L. T. Big Band live in the mid 70’s. Wow!

I really enjoy Lew Tabackin’s recordings as a leader, too.

@coltrane1

My only exposure so far to Ulf Wakenius has been his terrific playing on the killer live NHOP Trio CD. I will check out the O. Peterson.
