Now playing:

Dizzy Reece - Blues in Trinity (BN reissue)

[BillF]

Now playing:

Dizzy Reece - Blues in Trinity (BN reissue)

Recorded in Paris, which I suppose explains the lack of the usual Blue Note sound balance, even though according to the notes RVG was on hand. Wonderful music, though.

[clifford_thornton]

Mike Taylor 'Trio' (UK Columbia, stereo)

Great one! The fact that you have these on vinyl is pretty damn impressive, too.

I thought Rudy re-recorded it when the tapes got back to the states? No idea what "re-recorded" means though.

What are those Mike Taylor records like? Have they been reissued on cd?

Clifford ... What's the "overhang party" like? Is it well recorded? I have the NORD duo lp on ALM.

The Takagi disc is great....don't have the original(yet haha) but have a pristine copy sourced from an audiophile so I presume it sounds even better then the PJL cd which Ive read has some mastering issues...

Last night I played "distant voices" by Steve Lacy...my own personal holy grail quest ended very recently when I finally got ahold of an original vinyl of this

Sidewinder I love so many of those lansdowne sessions...Denis Preston was a genius..they all sound so great! Can't afford "shades of blue" right now but do have the other 4 rendell/carrs although my "dusk fire" is a Japanese issue in stereo(!). "hum dono" is also a bit out of my range at the moment but I am fortunate enough to have "integration" which to my ears is actually the better of the two...

Would love to hear your thoughts on those mike Taylor records...

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, the Mike Taylor records are great. Both are on CD - the Trio on Giles Peterson's Impressed:Repressed and Pendulum on Sunbeam. The latter reminds me of early Cecil crossed with Andrew Hill. Trio is a little harder to define, more atmospherically knotty in my estimation, if that makes any sense. If my CDs weren't mostly in storage I'd throw these on tonight...

Overhang Party is well recorded. I actually have two LP copies though the second is a little crackly in places for some odd reason (looks M-). It's really weird! Abe plays guitar, harmonica and piano as well as reeds, all in a rather unhinged manner. Indeed, Mosura Freight is a heavy disc. I have a pretty much "as new" record and it sounds really good. I saw Mats Gustafsson was repping it on his website, which makes sense as parts of it are definitely rather "Thing"-like, at least in my experience of their concerts.

Distant Voices is pretty neat - I have it on CD. There's a funny story around a copy of that LP I'll have to share sometime...
