Coleman Hawkins - Body & Soul (compilation)
Though obviously I love later saxophonists like Joe Henderson, Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley and others, man I just love going back to Hawkins. All powerful blowers stem from him, and yet what he can covey under the constraints of an old 3 minute track from the 1940s-1950s is incredible.

Jimmy Rabbitt & Renegade - The Texas Album (rec. 1973, released 2015)
Jimmy was one of the best free form DJ's in Los Angeles, every night unleashing a subversive set that roamed freely from rock to blues to country. He also fronted a hard rocking country band that worked the Palomino a lot. This was their first album, recorded for Atco in 1973 but shelved for decades. The second one did manage to escape on Capitol three years later, but got no promotion.
The sound here is gritty outlaw bar band country, with half of Sweathog supplying the punch. It was just right for the moment but never had a chance. So The Rabbitt kept his day job on radio, even navigating the tricky transformation of country station KBBQ ("The Big Barbeque") to New Wave fave KROQ. Eventually he wound up as a satellite radio pioneer.
Ol' Waylon and El Conejo rock out, as Freddy Fender's album covers look on approvingly.

Various Artists - Forty Years Of Women In Jazz (Stash comp. 1981)
Vinyl Spin Of The Day.
Monumental 5 LP survey of female jazzers from Lovie Austin to Vi Redd. Along the way we meet Ina Ray Hutton and her Melodears, Six Men and a Girl (with Mary Lou Williams), Lil Armstrong, Marjorie Hyams, Toshiko Akiyoshi and countless others. The accompanying booklet has highly informative notes from Frank Driggs. This collection never received a digital reissue, perhaps because a lot of the material originated from rare airchecks of uncertain provenance.

Steve Lawrence - All Of My Love Belongs To You (Varese Sarabande 2007)
When he was just 16, Steve started recording for King Records. This eye opening collection brings together 18 of these early singles from 1952 and 1953. At a time when pop music was still inhabited by big voiced male singers like Mario Lanza and Vaughn Monroe, not to mention a new kid named Tony Bennett, young Steve's powerful but controlled delivery brought him early success that was richly deserved.
