Wayne Shorter - Second Genesis (Vee Jay, 1960)

This is the first CD I have posted. There won't be many but this is a great album and I've yet to come across it on vinyl. Really beautiful, melodic stuff. Check it out here.

George Benson Quartet - It's Uptown (Columbia, 1965)

Here's a nice album of early George Benson in a mostly straight ahead jazz style but with a couple vocal tracks thrown in to round it out. Honestly, the vocal tracks are the highlights for me here, but that's not to say the instrumental tracks are anything short of excellent. The playing is superb as you'd expect but I found a few of the arrangements to be pretty stock. It is, at any rate, a good listen. Check out the great version of Summertime below and grab the rest here if it's up your alley.
