- I ~know~ someone already mentioned this [may have been me], but get Duke
- Robillard's _After Hours Swing Session_, now!
-
- If that's not "jazzy" enough for you, get some of Grant Green's old Blue Note
- stuff.
-
- And by all means, check out these two by Gil Evans: _Out of the Cool_, and
- _The Individualism of Gil Evans_. The former features the relatively unsung,
- but very tasty, Ray Crawford on guitar (who, btw, I just "discovered" on an
- old Tom Waits' album, _Blue Valentine_); the latter features Kenny Burrel on
- guitar, especially on a killer, thirteen minute version of the Willie Dixon
- classic, "Spoonful".
