Aaron Neville Orchids in the Storm A 5-song EP done in '83 and released in '86, it's Mr. Neville doing "50's songs--a match made in Heaven. Top-notch arrangements, playing, B/U singers--a labor of love for all involved. Being as it's so short, I'll link all--tell everybody you know who likes doo-wop about this.

Gorgeous. Lush and lovely. One of those "Got emotional junk you need to get out? Here's the purgative." discs.
Arturo Sandoval Swingin' As accomplished a Latin music maven as he is, this has no Latin rhythms at all--this '96 emission is hard bop all the way. Terrific players and arrangements, and, natch, masterful trumpet (he plays piano on "Streets of Desire").
