The Oscar Peterson Trio – At Zardi’s (1955)
OP trio in Hollywood, November 8, 1955. Consists of 23 standards and 3 Peterson originals.
“The pianist is often in typically miraculous form, Ellis (whether playing harmonies, offering short solos or getting his guitar to sound like a conga by tapping it percussively) proves to be a perfect partner, and Brown’s subtle but sometimes telepathic contributions should not be overlooked either.” – AMG, Scott Yanow

Quincy Jones – I Heard That!! (1976)
I Heard That!! was supposed to be a double LP of new material. Only the first half wound up being new songs and the rest were compiled from previous L.P’s. Most of this record is very enjoyable. HOWEVER, there are some tracks included that are heavily edited such as Killer Joe, Gula Matari, and Walking in Space. The originals version are much longer and much better, so just scroll down a post or two and pick those up if you are interested. Credits here.
