Ojai, you take all the good Honorable Mentions I guess you gave us all ample time to post; still, I'm clearly not organized enough to get my HMs in

I will comment that I love the Belafonte live album. Also, I would've posted the Cannonball and Nat live set - tremendous stuff!

 

[Ojai Sam]

Sorry Zeeb!

Actually there are many fine picks left that are right up your alley.

^^^I need to listen to that Belafonte album.

Set aside some quiet time. It is a real listening experience.

Lots of HM's of this year. Couple more not mentioned (adding on to the two I mentioned earlier)

Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster

I've stated it before but Ben Webster's material from this period especially his joint albums with Coleman Hawkins, Oscar Peterson and Gerry Mulligan are essential listening

The Cats

Don't forget this gem - look at this group! Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, pianist Tommy Flanagan (the three would combine also on Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane)
