[Ronflugelguy]

Come on folks just humor me!!!!!!!

Sonny Rollins - Way Out West
The recently remastered Cd from Fantasy sounds very good IMO.

Shelly Manne and Friends - Songs From My Fair Lady .
Have the vinyl (Contemporary Records S 7527).

[Steve Hoffman]

Howard Rumsey And The Lighthouse All Stars "Music For Lighthouse Keeping". Great 1956 stereo...

BTW, "Some Like It Hot" by Barney Kessel also features Art Pepper, and some of the best rhythm guitar (Jack Marshall) work I've ever heard!

Now Steve stepped up to the plate, how about you others?

Hey Grant , I was referring to "Contemporary Records" company that was bought by Fantasy records. 50's, 60's Jazz.

[Doug Hess Jr.]

I've always love Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass from Canada. I must say, however, as you can read in another thread-- I think I have found my new favorite Big Band!!

[Paul C.]

Shelly Manne - "More Swingin' Sounds" (cool cover)
Hampton Hawes - "All Night Session" (Vols. 1-3) - great sound
Poll Winners - all of them

My favorite albums on the original Fantasy label (not the entire catalog that now includes Prestige, Debut, etc.) are the Village Vanguard recordings by the Bill Evans Trio (w/Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian). Just beautiful music, the sort of music I like to listen to at 3 in the morning with the lights off.

Were these issued on Contemporary? I listen to the K2 remastered CD (besides the OJC CD issue, it's all I've ever had).
