50's Jazz Club Sounding Songs?


I have been out of commission on several fronts over the past several months. This weekend, I spun some records for the first time in some time. I started with a sampling of various degress of bop stuff, which are my favorites though I have only a few. I came to the realization that I had found what, for me, is the "personification" of the sound that makes me "feel" like I'm in a very hip, ultra cool, smoky, 50's jazz club in Midtown Manhattan. A time gone by. Corn-fed Prime Rib, garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach, followed by half a dozen martinis and luscious jazz.................

The song:

"Autumn Leaves"

The version:
From the LP "Somethin' Else"

J. Adderley - alto sax
M. Davis - trumpet
H. Jones - piano (block cord master)
S. Jones - bass

Any contenders from the rest of you? ;)

Not so 50's (1996 actually), but try "Night and the City" : Kenny Barron and Charlie Haden.
