clifford_thornton Posted May 31, 2013 Report Posted May 31, 2013 I love the sonic arts union lp! Yes, it's a classic. My friend Andrew Raffo Dewar is writing a book on the group and their activities. Also not to be missed is David Behrman's Wave Train album on Alga Marghen, which collects some related music under the composer's direction. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted June 1, 2013 Report Posted June 1, 2013 Hi Clifford..I have that "wave train" double lp too and yes it is great. One of the better titles on the Alga Marghen label for sure. What I love about that Sonic Arts Union album is just how amazingly contemporary/experimental it STILL sounds to this day. Really startling music on it..just brilliant. Thanks for the tip on the book..hope it gets published soon. Tonight's listening is on a Japanese kick: Terumasa Hino meets Reggie Workman "A Part" (finally recently found this monster that compliments the "love nature" and "peace and love" albums I already have... "journey to air" is another great Hino monster but a different band) Kohsuke Mine "daguri" (RCA victor), "solid" (east wind) Magical Power Mako "s/t" (polydor Japan) Don Cherry "blue lake" (BYG Japan) Sadao Watanabe "s/t" (Sony Japan with masayaki takayanagi on guitar!), "Iberian waltz" (takt Japan with Charlie Mariano) Quote

jeffcrom Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Modern Jazz Concert; the 1957 Brandeis Festival album (Columbia mono) Quote
jeffcrom Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Orchestra U.S.A. - Sonorities (Columbia mono). Guess I'm in third stream mood. I don't much like the Jimmy Giuffre piece from the last album, but I love his weird little "Hex" on this one. And Richard Davis is brilliant on Hall Overton's "Sonorities for Orchestra." Quote

Clunky Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Harry Beckett " Bremen Concert" - (West Wind). Some fine playing here , side 2 is very good but the first side falls back into a groove thing too easily. Not bad overall but not his best. Edited June 2, 2013 by Clunky Quote
Clunky Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) After an hour spent looking for the battery for my hedge trimmer , I'm forced to sit down and listen to another purchase from yesterday. I had a bit of a bonanza getting 16 LPs from a stall holder at a local fair. A mix of ECMs, BNs,. I could have bought dozens as the guy just had so much stuff but I was disciplined Helen Merrill- "The feeling is mutual"- (Milestone) 9003 stereo, .... great voice and fine performances from all concerned. Mint vinyl sounds a little rough listening over headphones. More consistent than the album with Brownie which IIRC had some dross included ( although overall it is excellent) Edited June 2, 2013 by Clunky Quote
sidewinder Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Clunky - the sound of the Helen Merrill on the Mosaic Single CD is probably a lot better than the Milestone LP (..gets hit with bolt of lightning..). Really excellent music ! Edited June 2, 2013 by sidewinder Quote

Clunky Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Clunky - the sound of the Helen Merrill on the Mosaic Single CD is probably a lot better than the Milestone LP (..gets hit with bolt of lightning..). Really excellent music ! listening again having adjusted azimuth on the fly and the background is now nice and quiet. Sound good and strong , more importantly "Deep in dream" has to be one of the best ballads I've heard. Quote

jeffcrom Posted June 3, 2013 Report Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Some trad/New Orleans jazz on 45 RPM EPs, four tunes each. The Johnny Wiggs is actually a 7" 33.3 PPM EP. Edmond Hall - With Gustav Brom Orchestra (Czech Supraphon). Recorded in 1960 in Prague. Edmond Hall (Argentinian Columbia). Recorded in 1957 in Buenas Aires while on tour with Louis Armstrong. The sleeve of my copy is inscribed by Hall to his doctor. George Lewis and Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband (Danish Storyville). Got this one in Copenhagen, where this was recorded in 1959. Herb Morand and His New Orleans Jazz Band (UK Special Release). Dubbed from 1950 78s. I have one of the 78s; if I find the other one, I'll probably sell this EP. Johnny Wiggs and His Bayou Stompers (Jazzette). A fabulous little 1968 record by a four-piece band: Wiggs, with his cornet style influenced equally by Bix and King Oliver, the great Raymond Burke on clarinet, my man Danny Barker on guitar, and bassist Chester Zardis, who was in Buddy Petit's band in 1915, Edited June 3, 2013 by jeffcrom Quote
