What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Next up

Jack Duff -------The Enchanted Isle-------(Avenue)

A 1971 hard bop album with the late Kenny Wheeler adding immensely to the attractive themes. My copy looks clean but has quite a few rough spots which don't really detract too much from the driving music .

Never HEARD of that one!!!

I used to have this LP years ago but sold it because it did not really grab me much. I bought it because of Wheeler's presence but unfortunately the music struck me as rather so-so.

Oh hell - I just realised it's not Jack McDuff but Jack Duff. What a duffer

Andrew Hill - Dance With Death (Blue Note). This is another rainbow LP that just doesn't sound very good, which is why I think a lot of them sat in the can until Michael Cuscuna rescued them. Trumpeter Charles Tolliver sounds like he's playing in the other room. There's clearly something wrong with this recording and it's much more noticeable on the original LP.

Edit: The more I listen to this, I have to wonder if RVG accidentally left a microphone shut off. Listen to the drum solo on the second track, "Partitions".

Duke Pearson, Sweet Honey Bee (Blue Note Liberty). Not a great copy of the LP, but still it is amazing how much better it sounds than the CD.

Jane Ira Bloom - Second Wind (Outline Records). Beat up record with the cover almost separated, but I've never seen it before, I like Bloom's playing and it was only $3, so I took a chance. So far, it's very nice.

I bought my copy years ago from J.I.B. and still enjoy listening to it.

Wasn't that one of those where the master tape was lost?

Yes, apparently so.

Amancio D'Silva "integration" (lansdowne, UK stereo). Amazing album and every time I listen to it I still feel it's a stronger session then "hum dono" but for some reason doesn't get the same hype.

Prompted by the above posts. King Records pressing.

Henri Renaud - Modern Sounds: France (Contemporary 10"). Some of the usual Paris modernists of the time (1953), including Jimmy Gourley, plus Sandy Mosse (spelled here "Moss") from Chicago.

This again. A nice little record - not earth-shattering, but nice. Gourley is the hero here.

Damn right Clifford!

Larry Young - Contrasts [blue Note]

title of track 1 'Majestic soul' just about sums it all up from where I'm sitting

[clifford_thornton]

Don Cherry, François Tusques, Béb Guerin, J-F Jenny-Clarke - La Maison Fille du Soliel - (Finders' Keepers reissue)

This is very nice; I would like to hear the whole performance, however, rather than the issued excerpts (on a 45 single). The original is tres rare.
