Thank you Kana813! Checked out your link and found Sahib Shihab - what a great find! Ordered two of his CDs: Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra; and Companionship: Jazz Joint, Vol. 2. These sound very promising - perhaps as enjoyable as Rahsaan. Can't wait for delivery!

Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra is a must. Terrific music and top notch recording. Heat and shape your copy of "Jazz at the Pawn Shop" into an ash tray and replace it with this gem. Similar audio quality but with way better music.
