If I could add one more recording it would be Introducing Nat Adderley.

In an interview I read decades ago, Mr. Haynes was asked if he had a favorite recording of his playing.

He mentioned this recording. It's interesting because it's a very compact studio session. The songs are short, with wonderful arrangements coming out of Be Bop and into latter stages of Hard Bop.

Mr. Haynes "comping" is near perfect, with all of the commas, exclamations, and periods, shutting the door in all the right places behind the soloists.

Here is a link to that recording...
