Rich Perry reccomendations?

I've been really getting into the Rich Perry album 'Live at the Kitano' (with Jay Anderson, Harold Danko, Jeff Hirschfield), and also really like his playing on an Andy LaVerne album, so I want to get some more. But I see he has about 15 albums under his own name, mostly on Steeplechase, all with fantastic bands.
anyone got any specific reccomendations?

He's a sideman on alot of the great NY bassists albums...Rufus Reid's new one from the Kennedy Center, and George Mraz's "Bottom Lines."

There's a great trio record with Jay Anderson and I think Billy Hart? On Criss Cross.

He's a pretty nice cat, I had just finished the early set at (now defunct) Kavehaz and he was playing with the late set band. The guys in the band were a bunch of unknowns, but he was hitting it just like they were at the Vanguard or something. Really wonderful player.

the criss cross website doesn't mention any Rich Perry albums, hes only on there on a Gary Smulyan album. Do you mean this:

or this:

or something else?!

My bad, I'm conflating the two. Nils Winther, not Gerry Teekens....

But I couldn't get the links to work, so I'm not sure what records they are pointing at...

'Beautiful Love', with Jay Anderson and Victor Lewis ( I guess this is the one you mean, you wouldn't get the bass player wrong!) or 'Doxy', with George Mraz and Billy Hart.

Yeesh, speaking of conflating. "Beautiful Love" is the one I've heard, but DOXY sounds like it would be pretty happening too.
