During the 1970s, Roy Eldridge had a regular gig at Jimmy Ryan's in New York playing music that fell between swing and Dixieland. For this Pablo LP, he sought to play a program with his regular group (Joe Muranyi on clarinet and soprano, trombonist Bobby Pratt, pianist Dick Katz, bassist Major Holley and drummer Eddie Locke) that, although recorded in the studio, would sound like one of the Jimmy Ryan sets. 

So, in addition to such standards as "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" and "All of Me," Eldridge also performs (and takes occasional vocals on) some older tunes like "St. James Infirmary," "Beale Street Blues" and "Bourbon Street Parade." The music is quite joyful and spirited, with Eldridge in exuberant form. This LP is recommended and well-deserving of being reissued on CD.~Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/little-jazz-the-jimmy-ryan-all-stars-mw0000006337

Personnel: Roy Eldridge (vocals, trumpet); Joe Muranyi (saxophone); Bobby Pratt (trombone); Dick Katz (piano); Major Holley (bass); Eddie Locke (drums).

Clark Terry with Thelonious Monk - In Orbit

Year: 1958

(4:43)  1. In Orbit
(7:22)  2. One Foot In The Gutter
(4:33)  3. Trust In Me
(4:56)  4. Let's Cool One
(4:31)  5. Pea-Eye

(2:36)  7. Moonlight Fiesta
(3:26)  8. Buck's Business
(3:04)  9. Very Near Blue
(7:00) 10. Flugelin' The Blues

One of Thelonious Monk's rare appearances as a sideman is on this quartet set led by flügelhornist Clark Terry. 

With bassist Sam Jones and drummer Philly Joe Jones, Terry and pianist Monk perform a set that surprisingly has only one Monk song ("Let's Cool One"). Among the high points of this spirited, boppish date are Terry's "One Foot in the Gutter" and "Argentia."~Scott Yanow http://www.allmusic.com/album/in-orbit-mw0000198803

Personnel:  Clark Terry – flugelhorn;  Thelonious Monk – piano;  Sam Jones – bass;  Philly Joe Jones – drums

Horace Parlan - Pannonica

Styles: Piano Jazz
Year: 1981

(5:34)  1. No Greater Love
(6:22)  2. Pannonica
(7:04)  3. C-Jam Blues
(9:18)  4. Hi-Fly
(9:48)  5. Who Cares

Good early '80s trio session with pianist Horace Parlan working alongside bassist Reggie Johnson and drummer Alvin Queen. The material, mostly standards with some originals and ballads, isn't overly ambitious, but Parlan's dense, strong blues-influenced solos and good interaction among the three principals keeps things moving.~Ron Wynn http://www.allmusic.com/album/pannonica-mw0000077164

Horace Parlan Trio: Horace Parlan (piano), Reggie Johnson (bass), Alvin Queen (drums).
