What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Homefromtheforest]

I think I read that somewhere myself..Ian Carr went on to make some great Nucleus records(my favorite is Belladonna) and Don Rendell's "space walk" is a great later session too. But you got to love all those rendell/Carr albums...sublime stuff!

I hear that Lansdowne Studios (or what was Lansdowne Studios before they gutted it to make a banker pad ) is back on the market for £12M. The old basement studio area is now a fancy kitchen/diner. Anyone fancy clubbing together to put a sneaky offer in?

Yeah, 'Belladonna' is great. I have the Vertigo LP in the racks somewhere..

WSQ: Live in Zurich (Black Saint)

Lee Collins - In the 30's: I Can Dish It - Can You Take It? (Collectors Items). The great New Orleans trumpeter recorded nothing under his own name in the 1930s and 40s, only as an accompanist. But he sounds fabulous on these sides by Lil Hardaway, Richard M. Jones, Blue Scott, Lil Johnson, Victoria Spivey, and The Yas Yas Girl.

The Many Faces of Art Farmer (Scepter mono)

[colinmce]

Never seen that one. Is that a rerelease of a better known session?

[jeffcrom]

No, that's the original issue. It's from 1964, with Charles McPherson, Tommy Flanagan, Steve Swallow and Ron Carter alternating, and Bobby Thomas. It's nice. I believe Iberian pirates have gotten hold of it now.

Sonny Red - Images (Jazzland mono)

Again. I almost said last time that Grant Green's recorded sound is terrible on this album - thin and grating. Not sure why - maybe Ray Fowler just didn't know how to capture it like Van Gelder did.

The Band - The Band, Capitol, early US pressing.

[porcy62]

Traffic - The Low Sparks Of High Heeled Boys, Island UK early pressing.

[porcy62]

Bert Jansch - Nicola, Transatlantic UK early pressing.

[jeffcrom]

Bunky Green - Playin' For Keeps (Cadet mono)

[BillF]

No, that's the original issue. It's from 1964, with Charles McPherson, Tommy Flanagan, Steve Swallow and Ron Carter alternating, and Bobby Thomas. It's nice. I believe Iberian pirates have gotten hold of it now.

And thence to Spotify ...

Pete Brown -"Peter the Great" -(London ) 10 inch UK pressing of Bethlehem sides.

Joe Wilder sounds in fine form as does Wade Leggs (sic) . Pete himself feels just about as comfortable with boppish lines as Lem Davis does on the Clayton Jam Sessions. At times hesitant and with clearly no idea of what to play . Hardly the modernist the writer of the liner notes proclaims him to be .None the less an attractive set which despite some reservations works well in a swing-to-bop mode.

Coincidentally, after Clunky's post:

Buck Clayton Jam Session: The Huckle-Buck and Robbins' Nest (Columbia pre-eye)

[porcy62]

The Velvet Underground - Loaded, Cotillon.

[Larry Kart]

Lotte Lehmann singing Brahms and Wolf (Victrola). Maybe the greatest female singer ever, I'm thinking.

Sounds wild!

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Dakota Staton - Crazy he calls me - Capitol (World Record Club)

The more I listen to this, the closer it approaches to being my favourite Dakota album.

MG

UK Polydor

Paul Bley trio - Canada

[jeffcrom]

Cootie Williams/Rex Stewart - The Big Challenge (Jazztone)

[jeffcrom]

Jimmy Giuffre - 7 Pieces (Verve mono)

[Homefromtheforest]

That's a nice Paul Bley album...gotta love the "Canada" cover! Our national radio station, the CBC, put out a number of great jazz transcription lps including some more obscure artists as well as a great Kenny Wheeler album too(reissued on CD).

On cue for me tonight:

Nucleus "we'll talk about it later"

Masabumi Kikuchi "kochi/wishes"

Verto "reel 1936"
