What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Leeway]

The version in the McLean Mosaic set, one of the few sets I have in both vinyl and cd version.

In terms of sound quality, which do you prefer?

Found this odd variant of "Here's Lee Morgan" on the Affinity label. ANyone know the source of the cover photo? :

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Jim Hall: Live in Tokyo (Paddle Wheel)

That illustration reminds me of the ones that King did of Grant Green LPs in '79/'80. Is it the same artist?

MG

The King Grant Green illustrations were done by Toshio Fujiyama, per Discogs. I can't find the illustrator for the Hall.

Fujiyama is also the illustrator of the Jim Hall cover.

Ah, there we are then. Thanks Paul.

You have a pretty good eye.

But they are all imitation Warhols.

Not really...

The Modern Art Of Jazz - Mat Mathews

Ornette Coleman - Crisis (Impulse). An old friend, sub-par sound and all.

[Leeway]

Have not seen that one before: looks cool.

Yep, it's a good one. I'm a sucker for anything that involves these two together. My copy's a ratty and crackly thing (which made it affordable) but the music overcomes

As Homer SImpson would say, "Doh!" Right on target Chuck. A couple of the Warhols:

Never saw that KB sleeve before. I actually agree with Chuck, now.

Pretty Baby soundtrack (ABC). I think I've said it before here - this is one of the great traditional New Orleans jazz albums of its time (1977). The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, Kid Thomas Valentine's band, Jelly Roll Morton interpreter Bob Greene, James Booker, and Louis Cottrell all contribute. And producer Jerry Wexler's influence is a positive one - I doubt that, left to his own devices, Kid Thomas would ever have come up with anything as striking as having the first two choruses of "Honey Swat Blues" played by his unaccompanied trumpet.

Beaver Harris 360 experience "safe" (Italy, Red)

[sidewinder]

Gunther Schuller/JJ Johnson/Miles Davis 'Music For Brass' (Columbia 6-eye DG mono)

Preceded by a couple of recent Music Matters 2x45rpm Blue Notes. Both of these classic sessions, I have to say, sound magnificent in these pressings.

Donald Byrd 'Royal Flush'

Joe Henderson 'Mode For Joe'

Seems appropriate! Is there an interesting story behind how that came about?

Been alternating CDs and vinyl today. On the vinyl front so far:
