Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert (1975)
Keith Jarrett is a piano player. And The Köln Concert is a recording of a concert he put on in 1975. Where he plays piano. For about 1 hour.

The Bees (A Band Of Bees) - Sunshine Hit Me
This album was listed in my queue as being by The Bees, but the album I downloaded through Murfie identifies them as A Band Of Bees. Supposedly the former is their real name and the latter is their American name. I hope that doesn't mean the albums are different in some way. The cover art is the same, hopefully the track listing and mixes are the same too.

Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto [featuring Antônio Carlos Jobim] (1964)
I recently reviewed an album featuring Stan Getz and... it was 'aight. Probably my favorite part of the album is how it was kept short and sweet, therefore I didn't get bored. Boredom is a pretty large problem with most jazz, so if this new Stan Getz feature can keep it short and sweet maybe I'll like this one too, and can sorta call myself a Stan Getz fan.

Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Winter In America (1974)
This album appears to be largely out-of-print and as such I've pieced it together from various sources. Hopefully I have found the official album versions of this material and not crappy live versions, bootlegs of outtakes, or the dreaded cover posing as the real thing.

Stan Getz & Charlie Byrd - Jazz Samba (1962)
It's been a while since I've looked into jazz, and I don't think I've heard any samba yet. So this could be exciting. I'm also sadly looking forward to this being a relatively short album at just over 33 minutes. Should be a breeze, right?
