Should have said ‘Edel’ of course instead of ‘Edsel’ as there is no way that this one is an automotive safety disaster ! The pressing and sound are first rate. Cover is fine, although looks to be a decent scan but has the bonus of a nice insert with extra notes. Very happy with this one. The Tone Poet stereo masters of Blue Train is predictably first rate. Kenny Burrell arriving later today ! 1 hour ago, BillF said: I’ve gone with the (great) mono for many years but this stereo version from separate reel by RVG sounds equally wonderful. Not bad considering recorded in his parents’ front room ! Edited October 18, 2022 by sidewinder Quote

Pim Posted October 19, 2022 Report Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) This is my favorite OP record by far. My father played it endlessly when I grew up and I could still hum every single note of it. More music from the 30 LP batch I got shipped from Japan. I love John Gilmore. Wish he had recorded more outside of the Arkestra. Edited October 19, 2022 by Pim Quote

Well done, hope the buyer gave a nice discount Yeah didn’t order anything for almost half a year as I don’t listen a lot of music during summer days (too hot in the music room ). Did set some money aside for a big order. As both vinyl prices and shipping costs are going trough the roof these days one big order seemed more wise and economical. I’ve ordered 30 LP’s from a Japanese seller. I calculated the total costs and it was 20 euros per LP including shipment, taxes etc. Very happy with it Quote

Wish he had recorded more outside of the Arkestra. Yes , the "Blowin´ in from Chicago" is wonderful. I had it on the BN brown paperback double LP series under the name of Griffin "Blowing Sessions" and the second LP was the "Blowin´ in". Maybe in those days I paid more attention to the first LP because of Griff-Trane-Hank-Lee Morgan) but the "Jordan-Gilmore" is really a treasure. I think Gilmore also recorded later for BN, maybe with Andrew Hill. Sun Ra his major boss had a humour side on Gilmore´s playing outside the Arkestra and it´s reported that once he said to Gilmore "A little Bird told me that you did Birdland last night"..... Quote

HutchFan Posted October 21, 2022 Report Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Phew! I love this set. "Brown Betty" (not to be confused with "Brown Penny"), featuring trumpeter Nelson Williams as soloist, is one of the many Ellington cuts that weren't hits -- but should've been. Williams' soloing is wonderful, but what really kills me is the ensemble work. The piece has just got so much feeling. It makes me wanna holler. ... And shortly after that gem comes the very first recordings of two more well-known Ellington-Strayhorn pieces: "Smada" and "Rock Skippin' at the Blue Note" -- both from an August 8, 1951 session. Hooray for Ray Nance! Hooray for Paul Gonsalves! Edited October 21, 2022 by HutchFan Quote
Pim Posted October 21, 2022 Report Posted October 21, 2022 There’s a piece of Africa in every single note on this record Quote
