The Complete Bud Freeman 
And The Mary Lous Williams Quartet featuring Don Byas. From the back jacket of the Bud Freeman record, (written by Herb Sanford) states, the recording "contains five Freeman originals and Bud's treatment of seven great standards." I do not know anything about the Mary Lou Williams Quartet, nor Don Byas for that matter, but I do love this record cover. Apologies dear reader – but since I am pretty far out over my skis in this the jazz arena – so I had to consult Wiki for this bit: Williams wrote and arranged for such bandleaders as Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, and she was friend, mentor, and teacher to Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie. I would love to hear (perhaps a comment here) from any jazz expects out there on these artists and/or records during what I am calling, "Jazz Week."
