One of my favs is, for some reason, an most underrated jazz album that rarely gets mentioned……Walter Norris, Riverside, The Trio, with Billy Bean and Hal Gaylor. A ture Gem.

These are the Riversides I listen to the most:

Jimmy Heath – The Quota
Jimmy Heath – Really Big!
Bill Evans – Sunday At The Village Vanguard
Max Roach – Deeds Not Words
Barry Harris – Newer Than New
JFK Quintet – New Jazz Frontiers From Washington

What about those early Randy Westons? Perhaps not his most mature work but still very interesting and original. And he was the first modern player to be signed by the label – and it seems he had some influence in bringing Monk to them. Another and terribly underestimated one: Elmo Hope ‘Homecoming’….

Blakey – Ugetsu; and Caravan. How could we forget those?
I also enjoy Budd Johnson and the Four Brass Giants – joyous album.
Does anyone else have Nat Adderley – Little Big Horn? Great sound on that one, and top-notch playing by Jim Hall and Kenny Burrell.
Max Roach – Deeds Not Words. With the great Booker Little.
Don Wilkerson – The Texas Twister. Some deep Texas tenor.
Philly Joe Jones – Blues for Dracula (!) Terrible cover, pretty decent record.
.
Rudolf is right on the money – Riverside recorded interesting composers and musicians the right way. So many terrific records.
