Great work from Aussie pianist Col Nolan – who also plays organ here, working in different combos with Ron Gillett on tenor and Dave Colton on guitar! LP, Vinyl record album

Early work that really shows the initial Armstrong connection to the world of blues – thanks to some great vocalists on most of these cuts! LP, Vinyl record album

Frank Capp on drums, Chuck Berghofer on bass, Rickey Woodard on alto saxophone, Rickey Woodard on tenor saxophone, Nolan Smith on trumpet, and Tom Ranier on piano. CD

A fantastic album from the team of Henry Franklin and Azar Lawrence – proof that the two players' recent pairing has helped them both reach the heights of their recordings from the 70s! The album's got a deeply spiritual vibe that goes way past the slightly gimmicky cover image – a rock-solid sound that really recalls the best spiritual jazz styles of the 70s – given perhaps a bit of a soul jazz focus by Franklin and the group, but still pretty open and expressive overall! Lawrence plays both soprano and tenor sax, and the group also features piano from Theo Sanders, drums from Ramon Banda, and cornet work from Nolan Shaheed on a few of the album's tracks. Barbara Morrison sings on the cut "Philanthropy" – a boppish sort of tune – and other titles include "Under Tanzanian Skies", "Soko", "Yama", "Miles A Round", "Peresina", "Blues For Lunch", and "Harlem Nocturne". CD

With Steve Kenyon on soprano saxophone, Todd Groves on alto saxophone, Dave Noland on tenor saxophone, and John Winder on baritone saxophone. CD
