A very underrated guy that BR used was Walt Namuth, a player from Baltimore, who was on the "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" recording. I've liked everything I've heard him do with BR, and the few recordings available he made with Baltimore groups.
Anyone have any records he made on his own, outside of Buddy's band? I remember that there was a recording he made at a popular jazz club in Baltimore with a good tenor player that was being offered on Amazon a while ago. I think I'll head over there now and check it out.
