What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

I love that Lacy record and also have it on a nice Japanese press.

I've got an Esquire of that one somewhere in the racks. Time for a search !

Sounds like someone needs a cataloger/organizer. I'll volunteer!

Other than Blue Notes, Prestige, British stuff and Mosaics, everything else is pseudo-random..

That's just like mine. Mostly it works.

Gigi Gryce (MetroJazz)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Just finished - Richie Kamuca - Richard Kamuca Quartet 1976 (Jazzz)

Now playing: The Jazztet And John Lewis - Featuring Art Farmer And Benny Golson (Argo)

EDIT: The cover above is correct. They printed it in black & white, which caused the two 'J's and the 's' to disappear. Pretty ugly.

Charlie Parker: Bird Is Free (Charlie Parker/Baybridge Japan)

[jeffcrom]

Pee Wee Russell - Peewee, the Great! (Jazztone). I've always thought of Jazztone pressings as king of lousy, but this is a quiet, wonderful-sounding mono album.

Shorty Rogers Quintet - Wherever the Five Winds Blow (RCA Victor mono)

[sidewinder]

Just finished - Richie Kamuca - Richard Kamuca Quartet 1976 (Jazzz)

I've got a 'Big City Sounds' Cadet pressing like that. They were pretty ubiquitous in the late 1970s deletion racks, even over here. The Art Farmer 'Art' is one big splodge of grey.

I love this record, happy sounding and free wheeling.

Charlie Parker: Bird Is Free (Charlie Parker/Baybridge Japan)

Bird on fire! Wonderful!

I think Richie needed a haircut though.

Mary Lou Williams/Cecil Taylor - Embraced (Pablo). Finishing up with side four after listening to the first three sides late last night. I like this performance more than most folks seem to, but it all falls apart by side four.

The Essence of - George Russell [soul Note]

[paul secor]

Booker Ervin: The In Between (BN/Toshiba EMI Japan)

[jeffcrom]

Duke Pearson - It Could Only Happen With You (BN UA)

Edited August 28, 2013 by jeffcrom

[jeffcrom]

Duke Pearson - I Don't Care Who Knows It ("new" BN)

[paul secor]

Monk: Five Spot Blues (Milestone)

[jeffcrom]

Art Blakey/JM - The Witch Doctor (BN). Dark blue label/Van Gelder stamps, for those who are into that kind of thing.

now this is a reissue i like: a new wolff color photo for the lp cover, it looks great! reminds me of that one mobe photo in the yellow shirt, same sort of lighting. now SUNSET should of put -that-, on a mobley Sunset cover. Mobley never got one. Lee Morgan did. "All The Way" (Candy). although morgan was not on that- they had one of those liberty cheescake photos, like a rejected sandy nelson cover. this lp is stanleys LOOK OUT session in stereo

i should add if i had 5 rvg originals right now, id prob. pick this copy hands down, it might be a liberty recut and much more fragile vinyl than the rvg, but it absolutely sounds demo quality-
