Rah is a 1961 studio album by Mark Murphy, arranged by Ernie Wilkins.

This was Murphy's first Riverside Records album, and he is supported by an orchestra including Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Urbie Green, Ernie Royal, Clark Terry and Jimmy Cobb.

The Allmusic review by Eugene Chadbourne awarded the album four stars and said that Rah "has worn well over the years...On tracks such as "Green Dolphin Street," he dives into the rhythm with the relaxed calm of an expert. And when the result can be the harebrained complexity of "Twisted" or the funky timing of "Doodlin'," the wisdom of letting the experts handle the hard work has never been more apparent" - Wikipedia

"On June 7, 1956, seven of New York's most proficient studio jazz players assembled..For the session, they were known as the Manhattan Jazz Septette..

...In today's parlance, this band was a supergroup made up of stellar players who were already established giants. All were prolific sidemen and spent a better part of their days shuttling from studio to studio in New York recording as leaders and sidemen. What's more, all had exquisite taste and most doubled and tripled on other instruments.

If you want to hear how the East Coast was responding to the West Coast jazz scene in the mid-1950s, dig Oscar Pettiford's Manhattan Jazz Septette. This is an exceptional album that allows you to hear leading jazz craftsmen of their day up close." Marc Myers, Jazz Wax

Guitar And The Wind by Barry Galbraith released on Decca in 1958

Marc Myers wrote for JazzWax:

"Barry Galbraith was one of New York's busiest session jazz guitarists in the 1950s and '60s. Between 1941 and the late 1970s, he was on 620 recording dates, a staggering total. How many albums did he record as a leader under his name? Just one—Guitar and the Wind, for Decca..

The album is beautifully arranged, swings tastefully and is a gorgeous example of what made Galbraith special. His chord voicings were seductive and his improvised runs were tasty and unbeatable.

Recorded in January 1958 over three days, the album featured the following personnel and tracks:

Urbie Green, Chauncey Welsch and Frank Rehak (tb); Dick Hixson (b-tb); Bobby Jaspar (fl,ts); Eddie Costa (p,vib); Barry Galbraith (g); Milt Hinton (b); Osie Johnson (d) and Billy Byers (arr)"
