Clunky Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Record fair yesterday , some nice stuff but first three LPs of jazzfunk bought very cheaply ,so no risk. Mark Soskin- Rhythm Vision" (Prestige)- I'd heard of this guy and seen him live once, plus Bennie Maupin . How bad could this be. Answer of course is really quite bad. Smooth jazz funk with very little edge to arouse interest "Walk Tall" by Zawinul is quite good but the rest is all saccharine and no fibre. Next Reuben Wilson -"Cisco Kid"- (Groove Merchant) - cheesy cover and lame cover tune choices look ominous. On the other hand my eye was attracted to the sidemen listed Melvin Sparks, Mickey Roker. Turns out to be pretty good despite the rather damning review at AMG. So I'd say this was recommended and worth playing again and a good investment at £2. Finally Blue Mitchell - "Blue's Blues" (Mainstream ) UK edition from 1980s. This delivers the goods on four longish tracks. Very nice indeed. Highly recommended. Edited March 3, 2013 by Clunky Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Currently having a flashback to my youth... 1978 to be precise. Now playing - the bathroom break record for DJs in the late 70s - The Outlaws "Bring It Back Alive". Playing side 4, "Green Grass And High Tides". This band was a blast to see live back then. The whole band would wind up on guitars by the end of this song. I think even the drummer wound up with a guitar by the end. I think this part of the reason why my right ear rings a bit these days.

Larry Kart Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 "Gil Evans Orchestra" (John Carisi & Cecil Taylor) - Into the Hot (Impulse). CT's three tracks are the meat of this album, but John Carisi's pieces are pretty remarkable. Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones' sarcastic one-sentence dismissal of them still bothers me."..cool progressive, you dig?" I think Jones said. Oh, boy. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 This afternoon Chuck Berry - After school session - Chess (Vogue France) Willis Jackson - Funky Reggae - Trip Lightnin' Slim - Rooster blues - Excello (as illustrated - a 1980s pressing) Kansas City Melodyaires - Softly the night is falling - Songbird (Not allowed to use image already posted on Organissimo!!!???)

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Willis Jackson - Bar Wars (Muse). Original Van Gelder pressing. Truth be told, it's a bit of a run-of-the-mill sax/organ date. Nothing earth shattering here. Quote

Nothing earth shattering here. May never have shattered my earth, but I like that one a lot. Oh, it's good enough, but I just wasn't jumping to play it again. It will certainly make it into the rotation. Now playing Don Patterson (with Sonny Stitt) - The Boss Men (Prestige). Liking this one more than the Willis Jackson that just ended. It just be that I like the organ playing a bit more... or it's Stitt. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Clifford Jordan - Dr. Chicago (Bee Hive). Looks like it was never played. Distant sound on Clifford's tenor and that bumblebee bass. Not one of the best sounding LPs in my stack. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Ten Years After ~ Cricklewood Green Deram Lived there once. So did I! Not for long; we lived with my grandmother for a few months in '59. There was a cinema there where I saw 'No sun in Venice', better known as 'One never knows', with a soundtrack by John Lewis. I think it was my first exposure to modern jazz. MG Quote
