Obscure albums with great lineups

[Blackbird]

Every once in a while we hear about collaborations between great musicians, but what about the ones that don't get publicized much? I'd like to start a thread about those recordings. Maybe we can turn each other on to stuff we don't know is out there.

First: Gary Burton Reunion With Will Lee, Pat Metheny, Peter Erskine and Mitch Forman - Talk about an all star lineup!



Then, we have The Meeting With Alphonso Johnson, Patrice Rushen, Ernie Watts and Ndugu Chancler.



I got both these albums and they're totally woth picking up. Usually, you can find them in bargain bins. Both of these are on GRP. Any others that can be added?

BB-

I picked both those up when they came out. Back then, I was buying a lot off the GRP label.
IMO, the Gary Burton album is "OK"...The Meeting? I was disappointed(although the lineup does look great on paper).

The Word - John Medeski, Robert Randolph and the North Mississippi Allstars.



Great Gospel sorta jam album.
