Birth of a great, lost rhythm section

With the white flakes blowing outside the window this morning, it seems like a perfect opportunity to sip coffee and snuggle up to some jazz music.
I have been listening to "HERE 'TIS," a pioneering soul-jazz album by LOU DONALDSON.
I am most intrigued by the rhythm section -- one of my absolute favorites -- guitarist GRANT GREEN, drummer DONALD BAILEY and organist ROOSEVELT "BABY FACE" WILLETTE making its recorded debut.
Willette is one of my musical obsessions. He appeared to be a rising star in the fabulous BLUE NOTE stable of the early 1960s, only to disappear into the obscurity of a South Side of Chicago jazz lounge before his early death.
Critic Bob Blumenthal wrote about the Green-Willette pairing on Blue Note:
"While Green went on to become a signature artist for the artist for the label, Willette would resume the wanderlust and obscurity that marked his early career in a matter of months. Before taking to the road again, the organist created three more memorable albums with Green, two of which ("Grant's First Stand" and his own "Face to Face") were taped within a week of "Here 'Tis."
I am going to listen all three albums today -- a surprisingly cold day with hints of winter and seemingly tailor-made for some warm jazz.
