Everyone knows S. Turrentine for his Blues-soaked workouts but my favorite of his is actually more straight ahead, and as such, is perhaps not so well known:

Possibly more "difficult to find" than "unknown," but "Long Yellow Road" by the Lew Tabackin/Toshiko Akioshi Big Band.  

Lew Tabackin/Toshiko Akioshi Big Band.

All their albums are top jazz band ...

This one is one of the best known...

I concur ...

It is not so much unknown that an album who deserve to be more well known ...But i dont think it is well known... For me well known is common name in jazz ...Miles Davis , Chet baker, etc Brad Meldhau ... Etc

Who knows Jan Johansson piano trio albums or solo one , one of the most creative in swedish jazz history ?

Who said that there is no great jazz musician in Sweden ? 😁 not me...

All his albums deserved to be known out of Sweden ...

Jazz for me became after the war a universal musical expression worldwide...As classical  became ...

It is why half of my jazz listening is out of North America  where jazz is born ...
