What vinyl are you spinning right now??

45 RPM jazz EPs:

Illinois Jacquet and his Orchestra (Clef). 1951 recordings.

Duke Ellington - The Duke's D.J. Special (Sesac Repertory). A little anonymous sounding - all the tunes had to be licensed through SESAC, so Ellington didn't write any of the material. The soloists are in great form, though.

Edmond Hall (Argentinian Columbia). A fabulous little record, recorded while Hall was on a South American tour with Louis Armstrong. The Argentinian rhythm section is good, and Hall is smoking. My copy is inscribed (in pencil) by Hall to his doctor.

Edmond Hall with Gustav Brom Orchestra (Supraphon). Recorded in Prague in 1960; Hall is again in excellent form. The picture I once found online seems to have disappeared.

Red Mitchell/Harold Land Quintet 'Hear Ye!!!' (UK London, mono)

:tup

And another!

definetly the perfered one, i bet- even though its a copy of the atlantic tape, who cares, when the vinyl qual. is like 1000% superior....

Curtis Fuller - Sliding Easy (United Artists). I didn't know that this album existed until this afternoon, when I found a nice promo copy. (No, my copy is not signed by Mr. Fuller, like the one in the picture.)

It's in The Complete Blue Note/UA Curtis Fuller Sessions Mosaic box.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Anthony Braxton - Seven Standards 1985, Volume 1 (Magenta). Promo copy. I saw this record and said to myself, "Hank Jones, Rufus Reid & Victor Lewis in the rhythm section? Produced by Michael Cuscuna & recorded by Malcolm Addey? How have I not heard this before"? The answer is easy - It's because I don't have any Braxton in my CD collection. This is a really nice record. I'm glad I finally got some Braxton in my LP collection.

Hamiett Bluiett, Marcello Melis and Don Moye, Bars (Musica). Melis wrote all the tunes.

I've often wondered about that one. How does it stack up against other Bluietts?

UK Arista/Savoy 2LP - Eric Dolphy with the Roy Porter Big Band in 1949 !

[Deepak]

John Coltrane - Coltrane

older OJC with paste over rear cover

[kh1958]

Art Blakey, Backgammon (Roulette promo), and

Odell Brown and the Organ-izers, Mellow Yellow (Cadet), which is a wonderful LP.

Milt Jackson & Ray Charles ----Soul Brothers ------ London Atlantic (UK mono)

Quality hard-bop date.

[clifford_thornton]

Hamiett Bluiett, Marcello Melis and Don Moye, Bars (Musica). Melis wrote all the tunes.

Fine but not earth-shattering.

[clifford_thornton]

Abdul Hannan - The Third World - (self-released)

Interesting session, been a while since it's been on deck.

[Clunky]

Charlie Mingus ---------Blues & Roots -------( London Atlantic) original UK stereo edition and sounding great

[B. Clugston]

Hamiett Bluiett, Marcello Melis and Don Moye, Bars (Musica). Melis wrote all the tunes.

I've often wondered about that one. How does it stack up against other Bluietts?

Fine but not earth-shattering.

I agree. It's more of a Melis and Moye show, than a Bluiett date. A bit eccentric at times, but interesting enough not to add to the for sale pile.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, it has stuck around through purges...

[Cactus Bob]

Benny Green ~ The Swingin'est

Vee-Jay

[Cactus Bob]

Duke Ellington ~ Indigos

Columbia

[B. Clugston]

Karl Berger and Edward (aka Ed) Blackwell, Just Play (Quark).

Don Elliott, Mellophone (Bethlehem).

[Chuck Nessa]

Duke Ellington ~ Indigos

Columbia

Why a mono jacket and stereo record?

[clifford_thornton]

^ That's happened to me before - a couple of stereo ESPs in Monaural sleeves, and I think an Impulse or two.

With ESP, it's pretty much a guarantee you are going to find the opposite inside.

[Chuck Nessa]

It did not happen with Columbia. In fact, the jacket is an early mono one from before the stereo was issued.

So what on earth's that one anyway? I don't have eyes like a hawk and never saw the sleeve, so I'm clueless ...

[JSngry]

Yes, you will want the mono copy for "The Sky Fell Down".

Perhaps you will want it, that is. I know I did. There's other ways to get it (most favorably on The World Of Duke Ellington, Vol. 3) but that's such a gret cut and such a great record, why not make the liner notes keep their word?

I asked that same question yesterday. No response.
