What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[mjazzg]

Arve Henriksen - Places of Worship [Rune Grammofon]

[paul secor]

Dizzy Gillespie/Count Basie: The Gifted Ones (Pablo)

[Clunky]

Fraser MacPherson - Oliver Gannon: I Didn't Know About You (Sackville)

I like this one.

Arve Henriksen - Places of Worship [Rune Grammofon]

is this really a five star record?

Arve Henriksen - Places of Worship [Rune Grammofon]

is this really a five star record?

No, not in my oopinion. I have all Henriksen's leader recordings and I'd say this is not as good as the three other Rune Granmmofons but better than Cartography on ECM. It sounds to me as someone comfortable with their sound and choosing not to divert from it very much.

Duke Pearson - Merry Ole Soul (BN Liberty)

[tomatamot]

Andrew McPherson - At Smedley's - Squalor LP-101

[jeffcrom]

Donald Byrd - Fancy Free (BN Liberty)

[clifford_thornton]

This afternoon's listening

My copy of that is fairly crackly (hard to tell if it's the pressing or just life in somewhere gross - the vinyl is probably VG++). Good record that I would like to get a clean copy of.

[paul secor]

Paul Bley: Turns (Savoy Jazz)

[sidewinder]

Paul Buckmaster/Chitinous Ensemble 'Chitinous' (Deram, stereo)

[paul secor]

Miles: Cookin' (Prestige/Analogue Productions 45)

Mine's fairly crackly even after a good clean up whilst the vinyl looks good. Seller had graded NM and i got a hefty discount so can live with it

[clifford_thornton]

Huh. Must be the pressing.

Now:

Coltrane - Coltrane - (Impulse, Japan)

Hmmm...now I'm curious about my copy which I have not played in maybe 10 years or more...I'll try to dig it out tonight and play it to check my pressing...

This reminds me of another great Pilz album called "Jamabiko" with Itaru Oki...if memory serves correctly this title is a bit more straightforward then "Celeste" but really great nonetheless

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, Jamabiko is good. I used to have a copy of that one; unfortunately, it had a scratch on one track and didn't stay in the collection.

Now:
Ted Curson - Tears for Dolphy - (Fontana NL stereo)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Gene Clark - Here Tonight (The White Light Demos) (Omnivore). A Black Friday Record Store Day release. Mellow folk-rock with a Dylanesque sound. It's good enough to play again but I wouldn't want a whole bunch of this type of stuff in my collection.

Gene Clark just ended. Up now, Jorma Kaukonen - Quah (Grunt - 1980 reissue with alternative cover).

Ted Curson - Tears for Dolphy - (Fontana NL stereo)

I just played my copy of "celeste" and it's super quiet...just heard two isolated pops during the entire record. However I'm all too familiar with records that look NM but are noisy...have a few of those myself..very annoying! And it can be costly too...I've posted on this before but I don't want to think about the money I've wasted buying multiple copies of Noah Howard's "space dimension" until i finally realized the entire pressing run must be f%#ed!

[clifford_thornton]

Well we know one copy of Celeste sounds good! I'll be on the lookout for another copy.

Yes, the whole run of Space Dimension has a bum side two. Which is odd, because Americas are usually fairly decent pressings.

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

totally sktech! sounds like 1940. actually 1970. heres something that suprised me......julian priester's in the band on trombone! and a few short months later he'll joining MWANDISHI. scored both volumes of this, audience recording from vancouver. huge duke resources online it turns out, was reading up on it and some lady mentioned in a comment that she mentioned the existence of this lp to duke, duke got furious, and said to send it to stanley dance cause stanley was compiling info on all the duke boots for duke ellington.

[Homefromtheforest]

Andrea Centazzo "Ictus" (pdu, Italy)

John Coltrane "Blue Train" (blue note, 47 w 63rd mono)...a bit crackly but serviceable early pressing of this classic

Anthony Williams "Spring" (blue note, liberty)...a good sounding liberty pressing...I've always liked this record...a stellar lineup with Gary Peacock, Sam Rivers, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock..incredible!

Kenny Wheeler "The Widow in the Window" (ECM, Germany)...last one....a classic...love this band

[sidewinder]

Ian Carr/Don Rendell Quintet 'Live At The Union' (Stamford Audio 2LP)

The tape of this one aparently was found under Ian Carr's bed - location recording in the UCL Student Union bar. Not the greatest sound quality but wonderful that it survived nevertheless.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Groove Holmes & Ernie Watts - Come together - PJ

Not a bad session this. Had it for years and it always played fine on my old turntables but there's a slight warp and my new one doesn't like the start of side 1. Bugger!

MG

[tomatamot]

The Prestidigitator - George Wallington Quintet. ( Japanese Atlantic pressing )
