What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[jeffcrom]

No, that's the original issue. It's from 1964, with Charles McPherson, Tommy Flanagan, Steve Swallow and Ron Carter alternating, and Bobby Thomas. It's nice. I believe Iberian pirates have gotten hold of it now.

Sonny Red - Images (Jazzland mono)

Again. I almost said last time that Grant Green's recorded sound is terrible on this album - thin and grating. Not sure why - maybe Ray Fowler just didn't know how to capture it like Van Gelder did.

The Band - The Band, Capitol, early US pressing.

[porcy62]

Traffic - The Low Sparks Of High Heeled Boys, Island UK early pressing.

[porcy62]

Bert Jansch - Nicola, Transatlantic UK early pressing.

Bunky Green - Playin' For Keeps (Cadet mono)

[BillF]

No, that's the original issue. It's from 1964, with Charles McPherson, Tommy Flanagan, Steve Swallow and Ron Carter alternating, and Bobby Thomas. It's nice. I believe Iberian pirates have gotten hold of it now.

And thence to Spotify ...

Pete Brown -"Peter the Great" -(London ) 10 inch UK pressing of Bethlehem sides.

Joe Wilder sounds in fine form as does Wade Leggs (sic) . Pete himself feels just about as comfortable with boppish lines as Lem Davis does on the Clayton Jam Sessions. At times hesitant and with clearly no idea of what to play . Hardly the modernist the writer of the liner notes proclaims him to be .None the less an attractive set which despite some reservations works well in a swing-to-bop mode.

Coincidentally, after Clunky's post:

Buck Clayton Jam Session: The Huckle-Buck and Robbins' Nest (Columbia pre-eye)

[porcy62]

The Velvet Underground - Loaded, Cotillon.

[Larry Kart]

Lotte Lehmann singing Brahms and Wolf (Victrola). Maybe the greatest female singer ever, I'm thinking.

Sounds wild!

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Dakota Staton - Crazy he calls me - Capitol (World Record Club)

The more I listen to this, the closer it approaches to being my favourite Dakota album.

Paul Bley trio - Canada

Cootie Williams/Rex Stewart - The Big Challenge (Jazztone)

[jeffcrom]

Jimmy Giuffre - 7 Pieces (Verve mono)

[Homefromtheforest]

That's a nice Paul Bley album...gotta love the "Canada" cover! Our national radio station, the CBC, put out a number of great jazz transcription lps including some more obscure artists as well as a great Kenny Wheeler album too(reissued on CD).

On cue for me tonight:

Nucleus "we'll talk about it later"

Masabumi Kikuchi "kochi/wishes"

Verto "reel 1936"

[clifford_thornton]

Masahiko Togashi, Lauren Newton, Peter Kowald "contrast" lp (Japan,paddlewheel)

Sounds wild!

It is - and not too easy to find.

[Homefromtheforest]

Im a huge Togashi fan, and when I hunted down the majority of his lps some years ago I avoided this one because I was worried about the "scat/vocal" aspect since I'm not a big fan of improv jazz vocalizing. Anyway I just picked this up recently as was pleasantly surprised....Kowald really shines on this...an exciting session.

Kenny Drew Trio (Riverside mono)

Cal Tjader Plugs In, Live at the Lighthouse (Skye)

Abdullah Ibrahim - Soweto (Chiaroscuro)

Kenny Burrell, Ode to 52nd Street (Cadet), and

Clef: Our Best (Clef).

Masahiko Togashi - Guild for Human Music (Denon)

[jeffcrom]

The All-Star Marching Band - New Orleans Parade (Dixieland Jubilee/GNP Crescendo). The unpromising band name was given to 1978 pick-up recording band, but it's a pretty glorious ensemble. I don't know know how many of the names would be familiar to most people here, but they were, young or old, New Orleans brass band veterans, and they play fabulously together.
