What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[paul secor]

All Alone - Mal Waldron Live 2 (Fontana-Japan) - One side is duets with Japanese pianist Masabumi Kikuchi, who has a real feel and ear for Mal Waldron's music. The other side is Mal solo.

[patricia]

The Blues - Vols 3 and 5 - on Italian label, JOKER.

I only have these two volumes of the set of albums.

They end with Vol 6, which along with 1, 2 and 4 I don't have either.

Now, I could follow my second mentor's lead and become a completist, but the two I have are very nice. 

I could keep my eye out for the others, but unlike him I won't move heaven and earth. 

That's the sure road to insanity.

PAUL JEFFREY- SAXOPHONE

JACK WILKINS- GUITAR

THELONIOUS MONK, JR- DRUMS

RICHARD DAVIS- BASS

[clifford_thornton]

I like Jeffrey's playing on "The Gift," that Charles Moffett record on Savoy. Very, very strong gutbucket tenor approach. Apparently he has a funky side on Savoy himself, but I've never had it.

[sidewinder]

'Gone With The Woodwinds' - Lyle Murphy's Music with Previn, Counce, Collette, Manne etc (UK Vogue issue of the Contemporary mono)

Fred Katz and His Music 'Soul-o Cello' (Decca DG mono)

Maria Callas' "Carmen" on ANGEL.

It was recorded in Paris in 1958.

This performance was marvelous and the orchestra was conducted by Georges Pretre.

To quote Gordon Gano: "You cannot fuck with Blues-ette. You CAN-NOT FUCK with BLUES-ETTE." Or maybe that was the Violent Femmes... my memory is faulty.

[slide_advantage_redoux]

Bobby Hackett - "Gotham Jazz Scene"

Capitol 1857 rec. 1957

Pretty involved arrangements for a dixie music set. Good solos (esp by Hackett which is no surprise)

[Chuck Nessa]

Up for play tonight are 2 by Sonny Rollins - There Will Be Another You (Impulse) and In Japan (Victor).

[JSngry]

There Will Be Another You (Impulse)

←

The ending of the title tune on that one is a hoot!

"NEVER?"

"Well, yeah, eventually. But not yet."

And the out-of-left-field modulation early on still continues to inspire. Why not?

[patricia]

I've always liked the theme from "Shaft", so, when I saw "Isaac Hayes Truck Turner" I snapped it up.

Apparently it's the sound track from an action film, which I haven't seen.

The cover has a picture of Hayes stripped to the waist, except for a gun harness.

OK, OK, I'm susceptable to a well-turned ankle.

Usually I avoid anything resembling a blaxploitation film like the plague.

HOWEVER, am I ever glad I've made an exception for soundtracks, especially in this case!

The album, 4 sides, was recorded at Hot Buttered Soul in Memphis Tenn. and is very interesting. No list of personnel. Pity. The pacing though is excellent and I'm enjoying this.

Prince Lasha & Sonny Simmons: Firebirds (Contemporary)

[sidewinder]

Bob Florence 'Name Band 1959' (Carlton)

[patricia]

JazzTone J-1232 - Wild Bill Davison's All-Stars and Dixieland Rhythm Kings.

What can I tell you. Love that Dixieland!!

[paul secor]

Fats Navarro: Fat Girl - The Savoy Sessions (Savoy/Arista)

Kay Penton's two vocals got my attention during this listen. She was a fine vocalist - rather Billie-esque, without copying Billie's sound or phrasing.

[patricia]

Paul, I love that "Fat Girl" Fats Navarro collection. I don't have it on vinyl, but a friend in CA cut me a

CD copy of his. Magical!!

Feeling a little blue this evening so I'm spinning a compilation called "The Love Album".

It has stuff like Sea Of Love by the Honeydrippers, Winner Take All by Abba, Key Largo by Bertie Higgins, Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler, How Am I Supposed To Live Without You by Laura Branigan and I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner..........like that. I listen to this about once a year. That's enough for me. Then I move on with my life.

Kenny Dorham Quintet featuring Rocky Boyd on tenor:

EASE IT! (Muse), a reissue of an album that originallyappeared in '61.

[patricia]

Sarah Vaughan - Linger Awhile - on Columbia

Sarah Vaughan - In A Romantic Mood - on Mercury

And a rather interesting album, the soundtrack from an old Dirk Bogarde film about Franz Liszt called "Song Without End".

The film was not that good, but the music, played for the film by Eric Silver on both piano and organ is excellent. It also features the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Lejos Kevehazy. Worthwhile.

[wolff]

Woods/Quill: Phil Talks With Quill..(Classic Records reissue) If only BN's had this undistorted, true to timbre sound...oh well.

Hendrix: Band Of Gypsys (Classic Records reissue) From all accounts the best sounding version, period. Still available for $15, I believe.

The Shins: Oh, Inverted World(Sub Pop) I like their 2nd a bit better, but still a keeper.

Prokofieff: Symphony No. 7/Overture Russe/Martinon/ Paris CO (RCA Living stereo/Classic Records reissue, 45 rpm 4 disc set) Could listen to this endlessly if I didn't have to get up so often.

[brownie]

John Coltrane 'Live at the Half Note' (AudioFidelity), disc 1. Discs 2 and 3 will be up next

[patricia]

The Singing Trumpet - Rafael Mendez - on Decca

Trumpet Extraordinary - Rafael Mendez - on Decca

Trumpet Spectacular - Rafael Mendez - also on Decca

Then for a change of pace:

The Montagu Three - a Calypso band recorded at the Montagu Beach hotel in Nassau in the Bahamas on the CARIB label. Reminds me of Harry Belefonte's early recordings. From the same era in the fifties. Pleasant.

My copy is autographed by the trio, so I can only assume that whoever orignally bought it was at the hotel that the trio was playing.

Wolff, your comments about 45s reminds me of how scratched most old 45s are. I think that, unlike you who play them one at a time, most stacked them on those chubby changers, which were common in the fifties and sixties. At my house, growing up, it was illegal to play them any way except one at a time.
