Leeway Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Savoy Jazz LP reissue of the original Savoy issue (as "The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra"). Besides some excellent music by Sun Ra and the Arkestra, this is a really good sounding LP (produced by Tom Wilson). Surprisingly ( to me anyway), the reissue carries liner notes by Milo Fine. Quote
colinmce Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Earlier: Henry Threadgill Sextett - Rag, Bush & All (Novus) Warne Marsh - The Art of Improvising (Revelation) Tyrone Washington - Natural Essence (BN Liberty) Still not totally sold on the last one. A bit stiff to my ears. I suppose I'm in the minority there... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 I have it but it doesn't get a lot of mileage for me either. Who knows though - a decade or two down the line, my opinion & interest could change. Quote
Leeway Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Brushing up on my Prog. YES - RELAYER- Atlantic LP. OK, this is a stretch, but what Patrick Moraz is doing on his elp and synths is not all that dissimilar to what Sun Ra is doing in ATLANTIS on his solar sound organ (Hohner clavinet). Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Marvin Stamm - Machinations (Verve stereo). Not a great album, but a pretty interesting one - trippy 1968 big band music arranged by Johnny Carisi. Jeffery likes. Quote

Clunky Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Charles Mingus presents Charles Mingus---------(Candid) DG stereo original sounding several miles better than the CD edition. IIRC the Mosaic used the mono tapes as the original unadulterated stereos had been lost. Great album. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Wardell Gray - Memorial Volume One (OJC). Right now this seems like the best music ever recorded. Quote
jazztrain Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Awfully good, isn't it?. Ironically, I aired "Jackie" yesterday from Volume 2 (recorded Jan. 21, 1952). Wardell Gray - Memorial Volume One (OJC). Right now this seems like the best music ever recorded. Quote
BillF Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Wardell Gray - Memorial Volume One (OJC). Right now this seems like the best music ever recorded. Yes, wonderful! Quote
sidewinder Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Wardell Gray - Memorial Volume One (OJC). Right now this seems like the best music ever recorded. Yes, wonderful! and great photograph by Ray Avery ! Edited January 22, 2014 by sidewinder Quote
Clunky Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Paris Reunion Band ----- for klook--------(Sonet) Somehow less than the sum of its parts. It's not bad in fact it's pretty good but I guess I'd expect more from a band with such a star line up. Quote
Leeway Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Vinny Golia Trio - ...in the right order...[Nine Winds] ooooohh! Nice FMP vinyl! Golia is perennially under-recognized but he is still a great player. The recorded start of that wonderful Lacy-Waldron connection: New Jazz/OJC LP. Quote
mjazzg Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Vinny Golia Trio - ...in the right order...[Nine Winds] ooooohh! Nice FMP vinyl! Golia is perennially under-recognized but he is still a great player. The recorded start of that wonderful Lacy-Waldron connection: New Jazz/OJC LP. I'm only just discovering Golia. A couple of older dates on vinyl (one with John Carter) led me to try a 2011 CD and all good. Problem is Nine Winds distrib isn't great here so further investigation hampered by postage/customs costs. Carpathes is as good as I'd hoped. Not cheap but worth it Quote
paul secor Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Wardell Gray - Memorial Volume One (OJC). Right now this seems like the best music ever recorded. Yes, wonderful! and great photograph by Ray Avery ! The LPs are fine, but I recall some of the alternate takes on the CDs sounding pretty bad - or at least not close to the issued takes. Quote

One of my local brick-and-mortar stores stocks the CDs. I look at them every time I go in, wondering if I should "trade up." But the LPs seem so perfect as is that I've always resisted. Quote
