What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Illinois Jacquet - How High the Moon (Prestige)
Compiles cuts from Jacquet's Prestige releases, 1968-69

Check out the final sentence from Dan Morgenstern's liner notes: "... don't pay attention to any history of jazz tenor that doesn't have Jacquet's name in bold type."  Bob Porter feels the same. In his book on soul jazz, Porter repeatedly discusses Jacquet's influence and importance. 

Even so, Jacquet does tend to get overlooked, doesn't he? ... Speaking for myself, I know that I "missed the boat" -- until relatively recently. 

But better late than never.  I've had a great time digging into his music over the last year or two.

Curtis Counce - You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce (Analogue Productions 33 rpm). This is a nice, swinging date that I've always liked. This Analogue Productions LP sounds incredible. Butler's drums sound particularly crisp. They really did a nice job with the tapes.

My record!

anyone ever see this- its pretty good

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

horrible cover pic on discogs there- i am keeping it   Its different enough to be unique and it sounds good, not really a phil woods guy but the two guitars, barely credited by name even though guitar is prominently featured in the lp title & art / concept.  you have to read the liners and somewhere in the middle of paragraph 4 sentence 2 it says the guitar players.  phil woods gets his name on the lp next to the pics of the guitar below, very strange. anyways, now i will type the names of the two guitar players- they are:

-Barry Galbraith

-Jimmy Rainey

Yeah I got it. Big draw for me was John carissi. I think it's okay, but it only partially transcends its source material.

i didnt hate it.  im very particular these days.  Will i grow to hate it?  maybe.  Theres not a lot of jazz guitar like that on columbia right.   It really looks like a crown records cover, i cant put my finger on which.  or maybe a conglomeration- when  i first was flippin thru i thought i passed a Crown

anyone know about this one- why would they split the title track up with a fade in/out?  did they accidently erase the master and have to use the single edit?
