Double Bass Looking for Ray Brown music with big ensembles

[Quentin MCB]

Hello ! I came across the Ray Brown album "Jazz Cello". And I'm absolutely in love with the big ensemble arranging, and how Ray plays with that. I'm not too fan of the cello though !

Do you know any other recording in a similar setting but with Ray on bass ?

Two for the Blues, with Cannonball Adderley.

This is what you want:


Also of interest might be:
Ray Brown on acoustic and electric bass, Louie Bellson on drums

Apparently, only the first video could be embedded, but this is one of my all-time favorite Ray large ensemble works. It features him with orchestra and it's just freaking A M A Z I N G. "Afterthoughts" Parts 1-3.

You know, if you like Ray Brown with a big band, you might also like Jimmy Blanton with Duke Ellington. Blanton was Mr Brown’s hero when he was young.

The recording you can usually find these days is “The Blanton/Webster Band.” I used to have an old LP with just the tracks Blanton was featured on, but the whole recording is worth listening to. Blanton is specially prominent on:
Jack the Bear
Ko-Ko
Concerto for Cootie
Dusk
Blue Goose
Harlem Airshaft
Sepia Panorama
Across The track blues
Chloe
Take the A Train
