The other 2 CDs are THE TRIO - LIVE FROM CHICAGO and THE SOUND OF THE TRIO. Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen are the other members of the trio. On Green Dolphin Street from The Sound of The Trio is a great track and a good place to start your listening. The tune Put On A Happy Face is better than you might think. Oscar's solo builds in intensity and then he alternates 16 bars of Oscar Pettiford's Swing Till The Girls Come Home with his own solo passages 6 times before dropping down to the original tempo and his coda. All this without pausing for a bass solo. Don't let funny face distract you. Deal with it and Dig the music.
