Great work from one of the most compelling trombonists of the 50s! Jimmy Knepper is probably best known for his excellent work on some of Charles Mingus' best records – but this set from 1957 shows that Knepper was also an extremely capable (if under-recorded) leader in his own right!

A lasting 70s classic from Frederick Knight – easily his best-remembered album, thanks to the legendary title track!

Gladys Knight steps out on her own – in her very first solo album, after years of recording with The Pips!
