What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Teasing the Korean]

I used to post in this forum a lot, not so much in recent years.

Today is a rare day when I'm home alone and spinning vinyl.

[Teasing the Korean]

Bobbie Humphrey - Blacks and Blues - Blue Note

[tomatamot]

Steve Turre - Fire And Ice

[Teasing the Korean]

Lennie Tristano - Requiem - Atlantic

Twofer reissue of Atlantic 1224 and 1357.

[Leeway]

A bit of a side trip to check out someone I heard of, but had not heard:

[Leeway]

[paul secor]

The Total J.J.Johnson (RCA Japan)

Even though I enjoyed parts of this, I couldn't escape the impression that I was listening to J.J. Johnson auditioning for future film and TV commissions.

[Teasing the Korean]

Lennie Tristano - New York Improvisations - Elektra Musician

1980s release of 1950s home recordings.

Kalaparusha - Forces and Feelings - (Delmark, UK pressing)

RIP.

Who is the amazing and mysterious guitar player on this session?

Is it Richard Martin?

Sarnie Garrett is the guitarist. Very obscure player; only other mention I've seen is on a 2LP compilation of Afro-American poetry, on which he accompanies some readings. I don't have that set. I agree that Garrett sounds a lot like Richard Martin, whose work I enjoy as well.

Now:

Jolas/Xenakis/Boucourechliev - Quatuor II/Hermas/Archipel 1 - (EMI Perspectives Musicales, FR)

Why did I know you would know this!

I should look at the backs of my album covers

I remember the name now, and always thought Sarnie was maybe a girl.

But I see it could be a guy's name.

Kinda like a variation on Arnie.

That's new one on me - now listening. Don't forget to try this:

Art Pepper: Among Friends (Interplay)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

This morning, a nice 1963 Calypso LP

Stan Seymour - Everybody loves Bermuda - Edmar

(Complete with songs about Christine Keeler, the Cuban missile crisis and the Clay/Liston fight )

MG

[Leeway]

Ethic Heritage Ensemble, "Impressions," Red Record. Kahil El' Zabar, Ed Wilkerson, Henry "Light" Huff. A beautiful record, with almost a Zen feel at times.

[Leeway]

On Red Record/Vedette Records. A very fine session.

Zoot Sims/Al Cohn: Either Way (Fred Miles Presents/Japan)

[Leeway]

[jeffcrom]

Didn't post this interesting jazzing-a-Broadway-score album I spun yesterday:

Manhattan Jazz All-Stars - Swinging Guys and Dolls (Columbia 6-eye stereo). This is pretty good, with Phil Woods, Bob Brookmeyer, Mose Allison, Teddy Charles, Zoot Sims, and others on various tracks. On the cover, it looks to me like Art Farmer and Teddy Charles have shot craps before; Aaron Bell and Teo Macero, not so much.

Now playing:

Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top (BN "rainbow"). What a wonderful album.

[BillF]

Zoot Sims/Al Cohn: Either Way (Fred Miles Presents/Japan)

Always liked that one. Yes, I even like Cecil "Kid Haffey" Collier's vocals!

Booker Ervin - The Book Cooks (Affinity/Bethlehem)

Kevin Whitehead reviewed the new reissue on Fresh Air yesterday.

[Leeway]

Inspired by Uli's post, I pulled the only Anthony Davis LP I have off the shelf and gave it a spin. Good stuff, a mix of free jazz, orchestrated music and modern classical composition. Pretty nice.

Zoot Sims/Al Cohn: Either Way (Fred Miles Presents/Japan)

Always liked that one. Yes, I even like Cecil "Kid Haffey" Collier's vocals!

Yeah - I like the vocals too. And the two saxes do a nice job backing him.

BYG Reissue.
