jeffcrom Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 Red Garland - Solar (Jazzland mono). I'm particular enjoying bassist Sam Jones' contributions this morning. Quote
uli Posted October 4, 2013 Report Posted October 4, 2013 The dildo-with-a-love-child-of-Ernie-Kovas-and-Triumph-The-Insult-Dog-for-a-head that dominates the cover photo should have tipped me off that this was not gonna be very good, but you know me, I like a good party record as much as the next guy, right? But...this is not very good, period. Red Seal? . hehe. reminded my of this Stravinski quote "Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa-Lobos?" -- Igor Stravinsky Quote

Red Seal? . hehe. reminded my of this Stravinski quote "Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa-Lobos?" -- Igor Stravinsky Oh, I'd not get all like that up in it, but...the liner notes (by Alfred Frankenstein...STEEN! Frank-en-STEEN!) imply it best when they say: The score contains numerous hints and collections of the Brazilian folk style for which Villa-Lobos is famous, but its general order is that of French ballet in its lightest, most tuneful form, and consequently it demands a minimum of comment. And OBTW - my copy is stamped as being from radio station WWCA, in the Gary Hotel, right there in Gary, Indiana. One has to wonder if this album, its cover and/or its contents, were used by Joe Jackson to keep little Michael in line. If so, hey, there you go. Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 Jack DeJohnette ~ New Directions ECM A record I've loved since the day it was issued. Quote
1stpress Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Ornette Coleman "The Shape of Jazz to Come" 2010 Rhino pressing. Cut from the original analog masters by Bernie Grundman (BG in the dead wax). The sound is PHENOMENAL, it's just PERFECT. I've never been more impressed by a modern pressing. This thing is a blessing; I can't stop playing it! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UCPE38/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited October 5, 2013 by 1stpress Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) My wife's out of town, and that often means a 45 RPM night. I didn't mind getting up every three minutes to change the record - as I said here before, I need the exercise. And I'll probably do it again tomorrow night, since I didn't get to any of my hardcore blues 45s. I won't otherwise try to categorize these, but everything from Willie West on is from New Orleans; all of that is produced by Allen Toussaint and features him on piano except for the last one - a game-changing New Orleans single with Milton Batiste on trumpet and Ellis Marsalis on piano. Willis Jackson - Come Back to Sorrento/On the Sunny Side of the Street (Prestige) Sonny Stitt - 'Nother Fu'ther, parts 1 & 2 (Prestige) Freddie Roach - I Know/Googa Mooga (Blue Note) Hank Marr - Easy Talk/I Remember New York (Federal) Big Al Sears - Desert Inn/Peacock Strut (Jubilee) Sonny Thompson - Juke Joint, parts 1 & 2 (Chart) Roosevelt Fountain and Pens of Rhythm - Red Pepper, parts 1 & 2 (Prince-Adams) Percy Mayfield - Memory Pain/You Don't Exist Anymore (Tangerine) Percy Mayfield - River's Invitation/Baby Please (Tangerine) James Carr - Pouring Water on a Drowning Man/Forgetting You (Goldwax) James Carr - You've Got My Mind Messed Up/That's What I Want to Know (Goldwax) Syl Johnson - Take Me to the River/Could I Be Falling in Love (Hi) Willie West - Hello Mama/Greatest Love (Deesu) Lee Dorsey - Ya Ya/Give Me You (Fury) Lee Dorsey - Get Out of My Life, Woman/So Long (Amy) Lee Dorsey - Rain Rain Go Away/Gotta Find a Job (Amy) Jesse Hill - I Got Mine/Oh Me Oh My (Minit) Bill Sinigal and the Skyliners - Second Line, parts 1 & 2 (White Cliffs) Edited October 5, 2013 by jeffcrom Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 The Bop Session with Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, John Lewis, Percy Heath, Max Roach & Hank Jones (Sonet SNTF 692). This is a variable date with some tracks sounding like fresh interpretations of old war horses and others sounding like tired old war horses. Quote
