I like "Iron City", it was reissued on 32 Jazz about 1
or 2 years ago...pretty much the same lineup as on
those John Patton sessions, but with Grant in command.

Just this weekend, I picked up Charles Earland's
"Black Talk!" LP on Prestige, I've been digging it
ever so much. Not sure if it's been reissued or not.
Also Johnny Hammond's album "The Prophet" on Kudu is
worth a listen.
