niels Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Girlfriend is out working, I'm at home with a lot of household tasks at hand so this is the musical accompaniment that I chose for this morning: Antony Williams - Life Time (Blue Note, Dutch pressing) John Tchicai - Tribal Ghost (NoBusiness) Dave Holland - Conference of the Birds (ECM) Quote
sidewinder Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Curtis Fuller 'Soul Trombone' (Impulse, mono) I think that's the first time I've seen a listing for "Jim Cobb". Yeah, same here. This morning: Charlie Rouse 'Takin' Care of Business' (UK Riverside reel/mike/mono) Quote
porcy62 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Van Gelder. A pristine mono Prestige is such a pleasure to listen to that trash any supermegagazillion audiophile remastering in the universe. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 HEAVY SPIRITS - Oliver Lake - Arista Freedom LP. A very good album that does not seem to have obtained much status. Joseph Bowie does a nice track here too. The fate of most Arista/Freedom LPs it seems. I was at one of the recording sessions for this (in Boston). It was reissued on cd by Black Lion. Quote
Leeway Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 FATHER TIME - Frank Tusa, Richard Beirach, Jeff Williams, Badal Roy, Dave Liebman. Inner City LP. Just picked this one up and am really enjoying it. A bit unclassifiable, which is good. Quote

Joseph Bowie does a nice track here too. The fate of most Arista/Freedom LPs it seems. Alas, I think you are right. I was just looking at a list of Arista Freedom LPs, and -- should I admit this?-- I think I have all of them except "New York Mary" (which I have passed on a dozen times). I suspect that if some of these titles were issued on Incus, or FMP, or some other difficult label to find, people would happily be paying big money for them. Maybe we should have an Arista Freedom "what are you listening to?" festival. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Nicra, Listen/Hear (Ogun). Nice quintet date led by trombonists Nick Evans and Radu Malfatti (back when he played hot trombone as opposed to staring at his shoe). Keith Tippett, Buschi Niebergall and Makaya Ntshoko are also on board. That's a good record. Remember seeing it in the late 70s but not jumping. The internet was my friend a few years back. Quote
Clunky Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Bobby Troup ---------The Songs of Bobby Troup---------( London ) 10 inch UK Cool vocal stylings, I'm still not convinced that Troup is always in tune but it works well enough. Quote
kh1958 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Art Blakey, Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World, volume 1 (Blue Note, W. 63rd) Quote

Maybe we should have an Arista Freedom "what are you listening to?" festival. I have almost all of them. They damn near flooded the cutout bins at one time. Wondering how many newer listeners who find copies today are finding them with cutout scars. Quote

Wondering how many newer listeners who find copies today are finding them with cutout scars. I have most of them too except for New York Mary and a select few others...I know I passed on the Paul Bley 2LP many, many times simply because I thought the cover art was atrocious! Probably some good music on that, but I already have at least 40 Paul Bley lps/cds so more then enough to listen to already... Quote
JSngry Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 There's some great music on the Bley, but it's available elsewhere now. Can't argue about the cover art, though...people rag on the Blue Note LT-series covers, but they had a sly, coded panache going on (or, at least, one could project that on to them and not meet intellectual resistance tot he notion). The AF covers too often seemed just a little...unpurposeful to me. A unified sense of design, absolutely, but the art itself? Hmmmmmmmmm......??????? The design and the art seemed at odds with each other too much, maybe that's what it was. No matter, a lot of great music on that label/in that series. A lot. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Circle "the Paris concert" (ECM, Germany). Sad to say this is the first time in the 20 years I've owned this that I've played it from start to finish! Incredible music! If the night was younger I'd pull out "gathering" and "in concert" too Quote
B. Clugston Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Open Sky, with Dave Liebman, Frank Tusa and Bob Moses (PM Records). Interesting trio recordings from two 1972 sessions which straddle Liebman's first session with Miles Davis on On the Corner. Liebman sure covers a lot of musical ground. Quote
Clunky Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Grant Green-------Am I blue-------( BN Toshiba) Sleepy session for a slow start to the weekend. It's not bad but it's a bit on the dull side. Surprising that Lion released it. Quote
mjazzg Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Damn you! finally decided it was time to jump for a copy. Fabulous record Quote
