Mark Helias: Split Image (Enja)

[brownie]

[kh1958]

Jackie McLean, Jackie's Bag (Blue Note, King pressing)

[clifford_thornton]

The Jazz Couriers - The Message from Britain - (Jazzland, stereo)

not the greatest pressing (looks strong VG++, plays pretty noisy) but musically excellent.

[Homefromtheforest]

Tony Scott "djangerbali" (Saba, Germany)

Larry Young "into something" (Blue Note, Japanese King issue)

[clifford_thornton]

Nice - would like to hear that Tony Scott album.

Now:
Alan Shorter - Parabolic - (Polydor/Verve UK)

[Homefromtheforest]

The Tony Scott album is incredible; definitely worth having. "parabolic" is the same record as "orgasm" right? I have the "orgasm" lp and that's a nice session indeed.

[clifford_thornton]

I'll keep my eye out and a span of ducats in my wallet for that Djanger Bali LP. 't ain't cheap!

Yeah, Parabolic is the UK version of Orgasm, released in 1969 with a cover image by Jacques Bisceglia.

[JohnS]

Original UK cover. I'll pull out for a play later

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, I always liked the look of it. The US Verve looks cool too but I decided one copy was enough.

[kh1958]

Ornette Coleman, Ornette! (Atlantic mono). An insert card says you get a free copy of Ornette! with your subscription to downbeat.

Joseph Jarman--------Song For-----------(Delmark) stereo copy , cover green/ red

Bought at a local record fair this weekend. Interesting date with some curious spoken parts. I'll need to listen closely but seem quite self conscious if somewhat contrived. I'm not surprised that this'll need further listening. I'm unclear whether the green/red cover I have or the B&W cover is the original. What ever, this copy has clearly been cosseted over the years. Another one to thank Chuck a.o for expanding the music.

[clifford_thornton]

Green/red cover is first. Absolutely love this record, ragged as it may be in parts.

[Homefromtheforest]

Sadao Watanabe "s/t" (Sony, Japan) a slightly uneven but actually pretty amazing/surprising album featuring Masayuki Takayanagi on guitar!

Steve Lacy "solo at mandara" (ALM, Japan)

Harry Whitaker "black renaissance" (baystate, Japan). Woody Shaw is phenomenal on this date...

[Homefromtheforest]

And one more...a nice mellow end to a good listening session:

Mal Waldron/Jackie McLean "like old times" (RCA, Japan) a very beautiful 1976 session from two giants with Isao Suzuki on bass and Billy Higgins on drums

[clifford_thornton]

Nice score on the Lacy ALM. I've heard it - never owned it - and it's excellent.

[Homefromtheforest]

Yeah the Lacy was a recent score..and with the OBI too! It is a great solo record...

[kh1958]

Ole Coltrane (Atlantic mono)

[Deepak]

Archie Shepp - Mama Too Tight (Impulse red/black ABC original)

[paul secor]

Abdullah Ibrahim: African Marketplace (Elektra Germany)

[brownie]

Benny Goodman & All Stars (Jazzum 57)

broadcasts from 1949 when Wardell Gray - and various interesting musicians including Doug Mettome, Nick Travis, Eddie Bert and others - were in the BG band!

(could not find an image)

[Head Man]

Anyone know where this was taken? It looks like Booker is trying to leave a hotel without paying.

[Head Man]

Billy Bang Quintet: Rainbow Gladiator (Soul Note)

Anyone know whether Michele Rosewoman is still playing/recording? Her website hasn't been updated for nearly a year now.

Beach Boys -----------Pet Sounds------------( Capitol) UK mono

Picked this up the other day as I always wanted a vinyl copy of this session. I did an online search to see what I could find regarding this edition. Now I wished I hadn't , as there are numerous threads over at Hoffman's which deride the UK mono edition as being a weirdly phased fold down of duo phonic masters ( what ever that means). Only thing is, that my LP sounds little different to the mono 1990 CD that I have. Maybe I've lucked out or I can't hear the obvious. Anyway I'm happy with my £10 purchase.
