What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[jeffcrom]

Leroy Jones and His Hurricane Marching Brass Band of New Orleans (LoAn). Had the urge to spin this one after the last brass band LP. This is a rare album, and a pretty amazing musical document. The band is basically Danny Barker's Fairview Baptist Church Brass Band (which started the New Orleans brass band revival several years before the Dirty Dozen) after Danny stepped back and Leroy Jones took over the leadership. This is the (1975) recording debut of Leroy Jones, Gregg Stafford, Darryl Adams, and Tuba Fats, among others. Most of the tunes are traditional, but the beat is funkier, the ensemble is more riff-oriented, and it's just raw and full of youthful energy. A wonderful thing.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

A couple of pianner players this morning

Earl Hines - Tour de force - Black Lion

Little RIchard - Here's little Richard - Specialty (Ace)

MG

[jeffcrom]

Reverend Edmond Blair - I Don't Need No Doctor (Nashboro). Couldn't find a picture online. I hadn't listened to a sermon record for awhile; this 1967 sermon was a stunningly timed performance.

While searching for a picture, I found a Jet magazine column with the information that Rev. Blair was found in his car, dead from a gunshot wound to the head, on the southwest side of Chicago in 1980.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Just finished: Pepper Adams - Quintet (Mode)

Now playing: Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert (ECM). My first Jarrett LP. It was given to me.

[jeffcrom]

Woody Shaw - Rosewood (Columbia)

[jeffcrom]

Tony Scott - South Pacific Jazz (ABC/Paramount stereo, although several of the tracks are in mono). A nice little album - not great, which is I guess why I don't spin it that often.

This afternoon:

MC5 "high times"

This evening(as I type this):

Sadao Watanabe "mbali Africa" w/Terumasa Hino, Masahiko Togashi, etc

[jeffcrom]

Coleman Hawkins - The High and Mighty Hawk (Felsted stereo). Put on the turntable before I saw that The Magnificent Goldberg was listening to the new box set containing this album. On this spin I really noticed how locked in and intense the rhythm team of Ray Brown and Mickey Sheen is.

Bob Downes 'Open Music' (Philips, stereo)

[porcy62]

Chet Baker - Complete Pacific Jazz Studio Recordings, Mosaic, disc 2.

[Chuck Nessa]

Last night volume 2, tonight volume 1

[jeffcrom]

Last night volume 2, tonight volume 1

I have those on cassette (!) - burned to CDr, they don't sound bad at all. I don't know if this will make sense, but I like those albums better since hearing your Charles Tyler album. A better way to say it might be that the Nessa album changed the way I hear Charles Tyler.

Now playing:

Erroll Garner - Campus Concert (MGM mono). I don't often have the urge to listen to Erroll, and the four or five Garner albums I have are plenty for me. But it's nice to have them when I'm in the mood for some Garner.

[jeffcrom]

Edmon Hall - Petite Fleur (UA mono)

[porcy62]

Cannonball Adderley - C. A. Quintet in San Francisco, Riverside, stereo.

Jackie McLean "Jackie's Bag" (BN 47thW63rd/NY USA mono)

[jeffcrom]

Earl Hines Featuring Muggsy Spanier (GNP Crescendo). I'm an Earl Hines fan and a Muggsy Spanier fan, but I had always avoided the 1957 Hangover Club broadcasts because, well, Hines and Muggsy don't really go together. But I found this album recently for a few bucks, and it's not bad. Hines was misplaced with this band, but nobody gets hurt. So now I know.

Mickey Katz - Katz Puts on the Dog (Capitol mono). Silly, silly, silly. And that's okay with me right now.

[jeffcrom]

Stan Getz - Groovin' With Getz (United). 1947 Gene Norman "Just Jazz" concert recordings. It makes sense that this was issued under Stan Getz's name - he plays on exactly one track. There are a lot of cover variations; this is the closest I could find to mine. My copy is on United, though, not Custom.
