There were a few of these - 'Going Home' was one.
Incredible sound quality. Anyone else remember these? Are they available anywhere? I remember one album had 'Pavane for a dead princess' by Ravel.
Anyone?

Follow Ups:
featuring Mr. Brown's "Parking Lot Blues" amongst some other mighty fine tunes
and relaxed, natural, SUPERB playing by all. One of my all time favorites LPs.
Got my copy signed by Mr. Johnson when I FINALLY got to see him in SF 'bout
1989.
Saw RB in a quartet with Bags about 1979.
One of the best players ever.
Loved to watch him (and Jack Sheldon) when they were in the Merv Griffin
band on the TV. After the intros were over and the guests would start showing
up I'd stop watching and start my paper route.

From my first hearing of The LA Four Scores I was gobsmacked and proceeded to round all thier records up. I prefer Shelly Mann as drummer but this group is as good as I've heard. You should get Laurindo A. And Bud Shank's first two albums,"Brazilliance 1 & 2 which proceeded the bossa nova craze by several years. I bought them about 1960 +/- and still play them fairly often. Between the LA Four and Stan Getz they define the best of this genre and it's my favorite.

Among many other things, like many jazz greats he was thoroughly familiar with classical music. In Old Friends, a recording of a live concert he did with Andre Previn and Mundell Lowe during the 1991 La Jolla SummerFest (classical) music festival in southern California, he has an extended solo in which he gracefully transitions into the opening theme of Mozart's Overture to the Marriage of Figaro, fully up to tempo and all pizzicato.
Wow. A nice nod to Previn's classical side.
Above all, he perfectly supported and enhanced any group he was in.
Saw him many times when I lived in Colorado. At one jazz party I attended,
he got a solo spot. I was sitting front row to the stage so I heard every
note and nuance clearly. I remember it as the most phenomenal jazz solo
I ever heard, by any jazz musician, on any instrument. When he finished,
the audience just exploded with applause that must have lasted for at least 5 minutes. Damnedest thing I ever heard. I'll never forget it.
I did a TV master class with him when I was in my early 20s - see the link, starting 16m in. He was a teacher through and through - very detailed and practical.
At the end I ventured to ask the great man a few questions in a grovelling way. Went like this:
Me - "....well, Mr Brown, may I ask where you are going after this?"
Ray - "I'm going to Paris."
Me - "And who, I am wondering, might you be playing with there?"
Ray - (drawing himself up to his full height and looking at me as if I were stupid)...
"I go to Paris to EAT!!!".
Not a bad recording in the lot.
Can you find them anywhere?
