What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

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

Sounds wild!

It is - and not too easy to find.

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.

[kh1958]

Kenny Drew Trio (Riverside mono)

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

[jeffcrom]

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.

[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.

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.

[porcy62]

Tim Buckley - Starsailor, Straight Records.

Kenny Burrell - K.B. Blues, BN, King pressing.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

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.
