What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[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.

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.

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

BYG Reissue.

Coleman Hawkins: The Coleman Hawkins Album Vol. 1 (Crown/Trio Japan)

[paul secor]

Duet: Archie Shepp-Dollar Brand (Denon)

A wonderful pairing.

[jeffcrom]

Milford Graves/Don Pullen - Nommo (SRP). Finally treated myself to this one when I found a copy at a price I could live with. It's the second cover, but that's okay with me. It arrived today, so I guess I'll consider it a birthday present to myself.

Another spin of this - loud, since my wife is out of town.

I'll take note of that, thanks for the suggestion. I think that whole cohort of Anthony Davis, James Newton, Jay Hoggard, et al, may deserve more attention than they have received.

Newton's first, Flute Music, on his own Flute Music Productions label, is very nice.

If I'd have known you were looking all these years, I would have picked one up for you. Seemed to pop up a lot in Austin.

Cousin Joe of New Orleans (ABC/Bluesway)

[jeffcrom]

Tony Parenti - Jazz Goes Underground (Jazzology). The great New Orleans clarinetist and pianist Knocky Parker interacting with the once-thriving Atlanta dixieland scene in 1969. As a young man, I played with a couple of these guys (the Atlantans - not Parenti or Parker).

Cousin Joe of New Orleans (ABC/Bluesway)

I didn't know he made an album for Bluesway. Indeed, I didn't know he was still active in the 70s. Who's on this? How does it compare with his early material?

Didn't know of that one. Looks interesting line-up and instrumentation. $50 means it'll have to be very interesting though

I'm not sure of the going rate for this LP (the Anthony Davis one-- or did you mean the Newton? Don't know about that one) , I think it's usually found cheaper. I picked up my own copy in Philly for $1.00 in a bargain bin, probably because the spine of the LP jacket was scuffed (vinyl quite fine).

This is a really nice little album, made in New Orleans in 1973. Joe plays piano as well as sings, and the rhythm section is some the usual New Orleans suspects of the time: Justin Adams on guitar, George French on bass, and Alonzo Stewart on drums. Roosevelt Sykes sits in on one tune. Several of the tunes are remakes of his classics, like "Evolution Blues" and "Chicken a la Blues." The lyrics are clever ("It takes two to tango, but only one to mess around") and the performances are spirited. It's a good 'un.

And Joe was active into the 80s. I have a solo album (just Joe and a piano) by him on the Great Southern label from 1985. I need to spin that one soon.
