Lem Winchester & The Ramsey Lewis Trio • A Tribute to Clifford Brown (Original Album Plus Bonus Tracks 1958)
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating: "A good example of Ramsey Lewis' original piano style, the little-known set is actually excellent and would be easily recommended to straight-ahead jazz fans if it could be found".

Jimmy Giuffre • The Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet
Review by Scott Yanow
This continually interesting set finds Jimmy Giuffre sticking exclusively to his cool-toned clarinet, mostly playing in the lower register, in several settings. The thought-provoking and generally relaxed works feature a wide variety of instrumentation. Giuffre takes "So Low" as an unaccompanied solo, duets with Jimmy Rowles' celeste on "Deep Purple," plays a fairly free "Fascinatin' Rhythm" in a Benny Goodman-type trio with pianist Rowles and drummer Shelly Manne, performs with a couple of other trios (including a group consisting of his clarinet, an alto clarinetist, and a bass clarinetist), uses three flutes and drums on the atonal "The Side Pipers" and three woodwinds plus bassist Ralph Pena on an atmospheric "My Funny Valentine," concluding with a nonet blues. A very interesting album, last available as a 1984 Atlantic LP. https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-jimmy-giuffre-clarinet-mw0000590754

A multi-reed player, Jimmy Guiffre played in an army band during his stint in the service, and then he performed with the orchestras of Jimmy Dorsey, Buddy Rich, and Woody Herman. As a prolific and inventive arranger-composer, Guiffre's work displays his fascination with texture and swing. With top-notch instrumentation, first-rate players, and various genres represented, this CD offers a variety of musical moods and stand-out tunes such as "Deep Purple," "Down Home," and George Gershwin's "Fascinatin' Rhythm.". - Oldies.com

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este conjunto continuamente interesante encuentra a Jimmy Giuffre apegándose exclusivamente a su clarinete de tonos fríos, tocando principalmente en el registro inferior, en varios escenarios. Las obras, que invitan a la reflexión y generalmente relajadas, presentan una amplia variedad de instrumentación. Giuffre toma "So Low" como un solo sin acompañamiento, hace duetos con celeste de Jimmy Rowles en "Deep Purple", toca un "Ritmo Fascinante" bastante libre en un trío tipo Benny Goodman con el pianista Rowles y la baterista Shelly Manne, actúa con un par de otros tríos (incluido un grupo que consta de su clarinete, un clarinetista alto y un clarinetista bajo), usa tres flautas y batería en el atonal "The Side Pipers" y tres instrumentos de viento de madera más el bajista Ralph Pena en un atmosférico "My Funny Valentine", concluyendo con un blues noneto. Un disco muy interesante, último disponible como LP Atlántico de 1984. https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-jimmy-giuffre-clarinet-mw0000590754
