What jazz ALBUM are you currently listening to?

Then perhaps you can answer a question I have about this disc ...
No drums on the album, but track 10, "Sunday", someone is beating something. It is an odd (to me) sound, sort of like a bongo perhaps, but more cork or finger-in-mouth-popping quality. Any idea what it is? Whatever it is, it sounds so wierd that it ruins the song for me.

It is indeed a bongo, though the liner notes don't give any indication as to who is playing.

Nice CB, got Five Years Later ? I really liked both, though neither was particularly liked by the critics.

Thanks AD, I have "Five Years Later" on vinyl also.

That Getz looks good!

Cool DaddyO, as so far they haven't released it on CD, at least last time I checked. Figured since you & r-a-d were smoothing it with Stan I'd throw one in the mix.

Sorry for the blurry photo - Sonny Rollins, "Plus 4". All you Clifford Brown fans need to get this one too!

Next two up, recorded on the same day:

Dang it! Surprised to find the discs missing from these two Jimmy Smith CD cases. Hmm ... Not a clue to where they could be at the moment.
A strange time as this calls for ... more strangeness!? Thus, for my next selection:

Perhaps I left them scattered on one of my recent trips to outer space? Sun, Mr. Ra, I am calling on your spirit to help me locate these two discs. I know you're up/out there, somewhere. Please help me in your own, cosmic way.
