Clunky Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Helen Merrill John Lewis- (Mercury)- cool. calm and a lot to like here. Still think I prefer Chris Connor but it's a well judged program of material. next .. Johnny Hodges- Rippin' & Runnin' (Verve ) UK stereo original with Freddie Waits and Jimmy Ponder- just so groovy. Great fun and real blast to listen to all the way through. Love it. ..... and following that some non jazz , but this is really slick stuff After Bathing at Baxters --(Victor) again UK original which sounds epic played loud on the headphones.

clifford_thornton Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Oh wow, nice UK pressing! I have a (stereo) US OG which sounds excellent, but that black-label British RCA is quite handsome. Quote

jeffcrom Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack (Clean Cuts). A gift from Paul, who didn't like it. I do, so thanks! It's also one of the best-sounding LPs I've ever heard. Quote

paul secor Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 Eric Dolphy: Vintage Dolphy (GM) Overall, relatively minor Dolphy, although his "Iron Man" improvisation is impressive. The third stream cuts are not my thing, although I can imagine that others might enjoy them more than I. The "Donna Lee" jam strikes me as pretty much a curiosity. I was annoyed with Martin Williams' liner notes. I can take his stuffiness, but his unwarranted attack on John Coltrane turned me off completely. A good critic doesn't build up one musician (Dolphy) by attempting to tear down another (Coltrane). And it's especially noxious when the two musicians were good friends. I guess it was just another uncalled for attempt by Williams to justify his dislike for Coltrane's music. Williams might have used the space to give his readers some information on Edward Armour who plays trumpet on the Dolphy Quartet sides and who, except for a few recording sessions, is a relative unknown, at least to me.

Clunky Posted June 16, 2013 Report Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Earlier Bud Shank and three trombones (Vogue UK) mint 10 incher , sounds great in this edition. Now... Clarke/ Bolland Big Band-------"Faces"--------(MPS) UK, latest addition to my CBBB collection and just as fine as the rest I've been really appreciating Quill lately on a variety of releases , I don't have this one but get a bit muddled with some of these Prestige issues , I think I'm correct in thing hat this crosses over with Bird Feathers to some degree. The Quill Freshsound disc is superb as has been previously noted. Edited June 16, 2013 by Clunky Quote
