The Miles Davis/Coltrane album was a live album. Half of Fathers & Sons is live as well.

You are correct sir. I stand corrected

From Storf (in response to my guesses):
“You have 1, and the band is in the wrong month”
So Jazz Crusaders is wrong and Soul-Jazz is a solo artist. (I’d rather they did a different Crusaders album anyway.)
And either Otis Rush (likely) or King Curtis is correct.

Very likely that the blues is a solo artist. So that probably means May is the band.

Mar-Keys looking like the May front runner now.
That leaves June as a solo act which narrows it down to about 200 albums instead of 500.

June could be Ray Charles- My Kind Of Jazz. Seems like a VMP move, take a big name artist and put out one is his lesser known gem albums.

Another tidbit from Storf:
“And fwiw, I've seen the blues and the soul instrumental albums guessed on the net. Not a single person has guessed the soul jazz, which I honestly thought was going to be the easiest one.”
So, presumably someone (@keylime_5 ?) has guessed the first two correctly on Reddit.

Also looking at Roy Ayers' Ubiquity which was 1970 and never reissued. VMP likes to put out Classics albums that are frequently sampled and Roy Ayers is like a rap sample king.

I'm not a huge blues fan but I am definitely digging this Otis Rush album. Hope it's the April pick.

Ayers might get me to re-sign up

The case for Ayers grows! Ubiquity came out under Polydor, currently owned by UMG, same as Blue Note.

And fwiw Ray Charles' My Kind of Jazz is also under the UMG umbrella.

Can somebody please ask Storf to rule out King Curtis once and for all. Suspense is killing me.

Based on the clues I think it's a pretty safe bet that it's not King Curtis in May. May is pretty certainly a band/group.

You’re right but I’m still holding out hope that it’s King Curtis & The Kingpins....

Also would not be surprised if Storf thought King Curtis was a band name. I'm sure he would have learned otherwise if it was the pick though.

I love the distorted vibraphone on some of the songs. It’s is such a flex ha! That album is so much more jazz-funk to me but maybe it’s semantics. The non vocal, slower stuff miiight classify as soul-jazz and on Discogs there is a soul-jazz tag but I still feel like it’s stretching.

If it’s not KC, I’m not very optimistic about the quality of the instrumental soul pick.

Roy Ayers’ Ubiquity is a beautiful, colourful and engaging album! Ubiquity also has a cozy, homely sound yet is very adventurous in spirit! I really hope Ubiquity ends up being a Classics ROTM! An audiophile pressing would be delightful!
