Ted Curson's 1964 tribute to Eric Dolphy, recorded less than two months after Dolphy's death in Berlin -- six tracks of restless, searching music on Fontana.
Booker Ervin's 1964 Prestige standards date with Tommy Flanagan, Richard Davis, and Alan Dawson -- the hardest-blowing tenor in jazz at his most tender.
