What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Elton Dean---------Cheque is in the mail-------(Ogun)

The "dated' sound of Gallivan's synth sounds timeless. I've mixed feelings about the end result which doesn't ultimately bring the best out of Wheeler or Dean. Worth hearing and trying again. Perhaps I'd feel it more if it was by Sun Ra -where weirdness trumps everything else.

One of the MIA records I hope to hear one day. I didn't buy it at the time it came out, fearing excessive 'weirdness'. Looks like one I can afford to live without for some time longer.

Brus Trio & Charles Tyler - Autumn in Paris - (Silkheart, SWE)

[kh1958]

Jazz Showcase, Introducing the Mastersounds (World Pacific). A quite enjoyable, great sounding LP, highlighting vibes and fender bass.

Mike Westbrook 'Marching Song Vol 1' (Deram)

[Clunky]

Archie Shepp-----Yasmina , a black woman ------(Affinity UK)

 I've never been quite sure of the    legitimatecy of these sessions  whatever label . These Affinity issues sound fine, quiet pressings and are cheap /easy to find. Good session

 

next

 

Harry Beckett ---Flare Up ------( Philips UK)

 

Top drawer jazz. 

[paul secor]

New Orleans Gospel Quartets 1947-1956 (Gospel Heritage)

This series of LPs, gospel groups from different cities, was a great one.

Clifford Brown/Max Roach: Live at the Bee Hive (CBS Holland)

Max Roach played a lot of great music over his lifetime, but if he had done nothing other than this recording, his reputation as a master musician would be assured. He must have been exhausted after playing this gig.

Good as the Vocalion CD is, the Philips vinyl is even nicer. I'll dig it out.

Must get hold of Harry's 'Joy Unlimited' on Ogun. Heard a track or two of that one at the time it came out and never seen it since !

Philip Catherine "stream" (charlevoix, Canada) 2015 vinyl reissue from Quebec of all places. Have no clue if this is legit or not - does anyone have more info on this?  Found it on eBay as I've long wanted the original but never felt compelled to spend the crazy money originals go for.  

After playing it I'm glad I never did spend money on an original; it's nice but the tunes are all pretty short and I actually prefer "September man".  I guess the presence of Marc Moulin on keys and the extra "funk" sound pushes the price up on this.  Anyway...this reissue will serve me fine.

Donald Byrd ------Royal Flush-------(BN Liberty) 

 

After 'Byrd in Flight' my next favourite Byrd album. Very fine sounding RVG mastered LP. 

[paul secor]

Linton Kwesi Johnson: Bass Culture (Mango)

[paul secor]

Ornette Coleman: Who's Crazy 2 (Atmosphere)

[paul secor]

Johnny Shines & Robert Lockwood: Dust My Broom (Flyright)

[Homefromtheforest]

Various "piano x 4" (Saba tree, stereo orig)

Manfred Schoof "voices" (CBS, Germany)

Peter Brotzmann "for adolphe sax" (BRO 1, Germany). 

Todays delivery was especially exciting   The BRO for 50 euro was by far the best deal of the 3!

[clifford_thornton]

Haha I don't even want to hazard a guess at how you pulled that one off.

[Homefromtheforest]

A combination of discogs and excellent timing!

[paul secor]

Paul Gayton & Annie Laurie: Creole Gal (Route 66)

Note to Hank Mobley collectors - Hank appears on one track here. Unfortunately, no solo.

Buell Neidlinger: Swingrass '83 (Antilles)

Ann Cole: Got My Mojo Working (Krazy Kat) - The woman who recorded "Mojo" before Muddy Waters and "Easy Baby" before Magic Sam.

Interesting coincidence - I was listening to a Paul Gayton compilation earlier and one of the tracks has a backing vocal group, the Coleman Brothers on it. While reading the liners for this LP, I found that Ann Cole's (born Cynthia Coleman) uncles were the leaders of the Coleman Brothers, who were mainly known as a gospel group. I learn something new every day - at the very least, I try to.

Paul Desmond 'From The Hot Afternoon' (Japanese A&M)

Gil Evans/Tadd Dameron 'The Arrangers' Touch' (Prestige 2LP)

[Clunky]

Gilbert Holmstroms Kvintett-------Utan Misstankar-------(Moserobie) 

 

Classic 1965 Swedish free jazz date that I'd never heard of until recently. Reissued meticulously by Moserobie in apparently better sound than rare original.
