What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[paul secor]

With all the talk of Shepp on the Board recently, his ears must be burning (as they say). Although I have a lot of Marion Brown's records, he still is something of a spectral figure to me (on a personal level).

Shepp wrote three good tunes for that album. I'm not sure if he ever recorded them himself. I don't believe so.

I think you are right on that. Maybe they were a gift to Marion?

I've thought that might have been the case. If so, nice gift.

Reuben Wilson - On Broadway (BN)

Damn - every time I see that one I get peeved. Passed up a nice copy in reasonably-priced copy in Mole Jazz years ago and regretted it ever since.

My today`s arrival.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Now playing:

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

I traded in my rainbow LP when I got my hands on a copy of the Connoisseur LP. It sounds better. That weird phasing on the cymbals is not as bad and the stereo separation is better.

Found mine on a stall at the Brecon Jazz Festival years ago. Paid top price I think but it's a mint copy and I've not seen another.

I very nearly bought a copy of that yesterday and didn't. Did I make a mistake?

[Deepak]

Jimmy Smith - The Sermon! (NY, mono)

[kh1958]

John Tchicai/Andre Goudbeek Duo - Barefoot Dance (Marge)

I very nearly bought a copy of that yesterday and didn't. Did I make a mistake?

Hmmm... depends on how much it was. It's very good, if you're not turned off by the idea of alto sax (or bass clarinet) duets. And my copy sounds good; it's a very quiet pressing. It's not the Tchicai record I would take to a desert island, but it's good music and worth having.

King Curtis - King Curtis - Trip (Soul twist - Enjoy + a few bonus cuts) No image on web of the Trip LP, but this is the original
