What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Deepak]

Milestones, 6-eye mono

Some final weirdness before bed:

MEV/AMM: Live Electronic Music Improvised (Mainstream). If you're following along at home, be aware that "Most, if not all, copies of this record have the labels switched." I figured that out on my first spin of this years ago.

I thought since this was a Mainstream release prices on it might be reasonable but uh, nope!

[clifford_thornton]

Nah, it's around $50-$70 these days. The Sonic Arts Union LP also gets there sometimes – that's one of my favorite "new music" albums.

Mainstream label psych records can get pretty expensive as well.

Dave Brubeck - Brubeck in Amsterdam (Columbia)

I love the sonic arts union lp!

[jeffcrom]

Armand Hug - New Orleans Piano (Golden Crest). Someone was impressed with Hug's playing on my just-completed blindfold test. I like it, too - as influenced by Jess Stacy as by Jelly Roll Morton. The great Paul Barbarin is on drums here.

Gary Clark Jr. - HWUL Raw Cuts Vol. I (Warner Bros.)

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.

Listening to a relatively current cd by a vibes player and had to stop to listen to some Bobby Naughton.

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)

[kh1958]

Charlie Parker Memorial, volume 1 (Savoy), followed by

Horace Silver, Horace-Scope (Blue Note stereo, W. 63rd).

[paul secor]

Ben Webster: Sophisticated Lady (Verve Japan)

[paul secor]

Curtis Fuller: Bone & Bari (BN/King Japan)

[John Tapscott]

[jeffcrom]

Modern Jazz Concert; the 1957 Brandeis Festival album (Columbia mono)

[jeffcrom]

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."

[brownie]

George Russell 'Jazz Workshop' (RCA UK, mono)

[Clunky]

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.

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)

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 !
