Duke Pearson- It Could Only Happen With You maybe? Released 1974, more known as the A&R guy at Blue Note but was a great arranger and great pianist too. I’m not familiar with the album and it seems like a lesser known album by him. Kind of lukewarm review of it too.

That's not a bad guess, though I'm skeptical that it's a Blue Note album since as far as I know, all the master tapes from that era of Blue Note are all in tact and avaiable — so it wouldn't be ADA if it was that album IMO. I could be wrong about the tapes though.

Can you make it fit the "1" clue?

Damn. @Mr Moore beat me to it.

Damn. @Mr Moore beat me to it.

I think this fits best so far. Good guess @Mr Moore.

Erroll Garner - The Magician?

He's like the Glenn Gould of Jazz with the grunting. I like that song.

One person on the cover? One cigarette being smoked? One cardigan?

Weak at best

I’ve never really gotten in to Erroll Garner. I bought his Concert By the Sea album like 5 years ago but only listened to it once and sold it. Never listened to any of his other stuff but would definitely get Magician if that is the pick. Are we thinking “1” is the number of people on the cover or something?

Yeah, I think so.

I think it does fit for person on the cover for Erroll Garner, the one I wasn't sure it would fit is the Duke Pearson one.

Very positive review for Magician on AllMusic: Magician - Erroll Garner | Songs, Reviews, Credits | AllMusic.

Concert by the Sea is a great album - would be happy to have another Garner album on the shelf.

Just did a google search on Erroll Garner and VMP and found this article from 2016. The also sold the 2016 pressing of Ready Take One as well, so VMP are well aware of Garners music. Could easily see the situation where they heard of this album and decided to revisit his music. Think we are on to a winner here, great guess @Mr Moore

Supposedly, his master tapes were destroyed in the Universal Fire too which may be why this one has digital in the chain.

Cardigan has three buttons; ruled out

 

[Rahawk2]

Bobby Timmons maybe?

 

[duke86fan]

btw i dont think it could have been duke ellington anyway because why would they need a digital pressing when analogue productions did ellingtons 50s album masterpieces no problem
