just got the Curtis Amy and Dupree Bolton lp 'Katanga!' and it's absolutely superb. also really enjoy the Kenny Dorham and Jackie McLean lp 'Inta Something'. don't know much about west coast jazz though, or the Pacific Jazz label. anything you recommend that i should not be without? i've got a few John Handy records, some Harold Land, probably quite a few others that i can't remember right now. and i've been steered in the direction of Curtis Counce and Elmo Hope, but not checked them out yet. trying to expand my tastes from Blue Note, hard bop and Coltrane!

I have a soft spot for the Jimmy Giuffres on Atlantic.
The Bud Shank records with his piano-less quintets.
Lee Konitz.
Warne Marsh.
Top left is excellent. Other three are favs too.
Lenny McBrowne & The Four Souls
Shorty Rogers & The Giants
All are good to start with!
