The answer is Smart Phil's latest and very tasty compilation "Jazzers Only". So many good tunes on there - will just pick out my favourites...Track 3 is Chico Hamilton's "For Mods Only" may have a cheesy title but is a nice jerking Hammond heavy dancer, more moody is Track 7, Sonny Cox's "Chocolate Candy" - beautiful tune with a slightly later sound. Next up is "Pigmy" by The Delegates another great creeping track. Some nutty xylophone madness (how often are you allowed to write that?) with Lionel Hampton on Track 11 with "Hamp Stamps". Nice as well is "One Naughty Flat" by Mac Rebennack & The Soul Orchestra and Billy Preston's "Greazee" - more on R&Bish side of things. Slightly more unusual is "Liberation" by The Afro-Blues Quintet, which may sound a tiny bit like elavator music at some points, but I think its a great dancer! Last but not least is a really nice instrumental version of "Comin' Home Baby" by Kai Winding.
I also missed out lots of great tunes so try and get your hands on a copy if you can - thanks Phil!
Staying in a similar jazzy vein how good is tune (Freddie Hubbard - Return Of the Prodigal Son):
Missed a copy on eBay a few weeks back - gutted!
Picked up this classic tune as well a few months back on UK Riverside:
Also if you haven't heard of him yet and you like your hammondy/latiny jazzy stuffs check out (the Finnish) Timo Lassey:
The tune "The More I Look At You" with Jose James (also worth looking up) is ace and was pressed up onto 7" - nice!
