Joe Newman - I Feel Like a Newman (1956, Black Lion)
Joe Newman (trumpet)Billy Byers (trombone), Gene Quill (alto saxophone), Frank Foster (tenor saxophone), John Lewis (piano),Freddie Green (guitar), Milt Hinton (bass), Osie Johnson (drums) Frank Wess (tenor saxophone, flute), Sir Charles Thompson (piano), Eddie Jones (bass), Shadow Wilson (drums).
Trumpeter Joe Newman, some Basie men, and a few other sympathetic sidemen play an enjoyable set of 1950s swing on this CD reissue. Six of the ten numbers team Newman with trombonist Billy Byers, altoist Gene Quill, tenorman Frank Foster, pianist John Lewis (a perfect fill-in for Count Basie), guitarist Freddie Green, bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Osie Johnson, while the other selections have Newman playing in a quintet with Frank Wess (who doubles on tenor and flute) and pianist Sir Charles Thompson. Whether it be a veteran standard or a newer song by Ernie Wilkins or Manny Albam, the music always swings and the talented musicians are in fine form. - Allmusic

Dorothy Ashby Jazz Harp Discography
Dorothy Ashby is one of my favorite musicians ever, a harpist. Her music has the raw funk of RnB, the celestial Sun Ra, and the lyrical melodies of harpist Coltrane.
