If you listen to nothing else, please catch the track "If I were a bell" off of this album. Peterson's opening statement. The interplay between him and the late great drummer Bobby Durham is so slick, its absolutely sublime. One of those pieces of time where everything came togther in complete harmony and just played out.
An historical moment that never seems to garner the appreciation and respect it deserves.
It's the second track heard here...

I actually picked this up at Half-Priced Books.
 
Not so much an album, but a series of recordings.
On April 16, 1942 Django Reinhardt paired with pianist Ivon de Bie to cut 4 songs for the Rhythme label in Brussels.
They were released as a series of 10" 78 rpm records.
Individually, they've popped up on various Django compilation albums over the years, but here's a nice little video that features all 4 songs in a album format.
Interesting note...where you hear violin, that's Django too. :shock:...I know, right?!
