Very predictive, my apologies...

Ike Quebec-Soul Samba
Chet Baker-As time goes by
Kenny Burrell-Midnight blue
Miles Davis-Kind of blue
Art Pepper-meets the rythm section
Bill Evans-At the Shelly's Manne hole
Ernest Ranglin-Below the bassline
Schubert, I ment that names and albums I have posted are quite famous...regarding Quebec, I have all of his albums he made as a leader, and quite few where he played. Still, I consider the Soul Samba maybe the most 'beautiful' album that I have, and the story behind its creation is so touching, it 'can make a grown man cry'. The story is tragic, but the music is sheer beauty 
Schubert, few clicks lower, on Amazon, they start from 45 usd, which is still very much money for a lp. That is one reason that I buy cd's, the second is that I just cant find all the  albums that I want on lp. If you care about fidelity, look for older Blue Note editions that are not 'original recordings remastered'. Hope you will like the record, let me know what you think, after you hear it at home.
