Have been searching on Spotify for some good 1950's Jazz/Bebop that really swing. Jonah Jones is a favorite. Recently came upon some of Harry Edison's albums. Any other suggestions?

Best answer: Try the Miles Davis albums "Workin," "Steamin," "Cookin" and "Relaxin" (I think they're all found with "Workin with the Miles Davis Quintet"). Also love Sonny Clark's piano playing and the albums "Cool Struttin" and "Sonny's Crib."
