Share some under appreciated jazz album titles

@faustuss,

Thanks for the info. I pulled this off of google ai. 

Rudy Van Gelder started recording professionally around 1952-1953 in his parents’ living room at 25 Prospect Avenue, Hackensack, New Jersey, which served as his first studio before he built a dedicated facility in Englewood Cliffs in 1959. His first Blue Note session, with Gil Melle, brought him to Alfred Lion’s attention, launching his legendary career capturing iconic jazz records in that home setup. 

Key Details:

• When: Early 1950s (around 1952-1953).
• Where: His parents’ house in Hackensack, NJ.
• Significance: This humble living room became the birthplace for countless classic jazz albums for labels like Blue Note, Prestige, and Savoy, notes Wikipedia and uDiscover Music.

That's one heck of a 'closet' two track recording system in his parents remodeled living room. It would make sense to have the principle artist in a makeshift recording booth or closet and have the band members mic'd up in the living room.

You neglect to mention Roy DuNaan, whose records tend to sound better than Van Gelder’s (to some of us, at least). 

Link to his discogs page:

Check out: "The Arrival of Victor Feldman"

Victor Feldman - vibes, piano
Scott LaFaro - bass

Stan Levy - Drums

recorded in 1958, several months BEFORE Kind of Blue, it has superb engineering and clarity and sound like something done in a modern studio.  It is vastly better engineered than Kind of Blue as well.

Check out this track:  Bebop

I admire Sun RA , i would like to know why this one ? 
 

I just happened to stumble across it in Qobuz via Roon.
