jeffcrom Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Steve Lacy - Disposability (Italian Vik mono). This one, recorded in Rome in late 1965, is one of my very favorite Lacy albums. With Kent Carter and Aldo Romano, Lacy plays three Monk tunes, a Carla Bley piece, Cecil Taylor's "Tune 2," three improvised pieces, and his first recorded composition, "Barble." He seems to forgotten about that one - he later called "The Way" his "opus one." Anyway, it's a great one, and Lacy's only recording from 1965. Quote

Years ago I bought a dubious vinyl "reissue" of this that sounded horrible...not long after bought a CD which sounded equally bad..until I finally found a mint original issue about 7 years ago and the sound on the original is amazing. No clipping in the saxophone and deep strong bass. A great session! I play this one more then some of his other post-prestige/new jazz 60s lps like "forest and the zoo" or "Sortie". Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 No..I had a Spanish cd on disconforme...I think another thread commented that this combo pack cd didn't sound great either? Quote

Yes, I have it, because I don't have Sortie in any other form. The sound on Disposability on this issue is just horrible. There are some sort of digital clicks through the music. It's not just my copy, others have confirmed their presence. If I ever find a copy of Sortie that I can afford, this CD is going into the trash. Quote
jazztrain Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Jeff, Do you know the Joe Sullivan in the same series? Excellent also. I don't think that either of them ever made it to CD. Ralph Sutton - Backroom Piano (Verve). A mid-50s issue of some excellent 1949 tracks. Quote

OK, that's what I thought too, but wanted to compare it against the vinyl, which I don't have. Thanks. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 Gil Evans - Previously Released Recordings (Verve). Three cuts on this 1973 album are available on the CD issue of The Individualism of Gil Evans, but there are two quartet tracks which have only appeared here: Evans, bass trombonist Tony Studd, Paul Chambers, and Clifford Jarvis play Bird's "Cheryl" (mistitled "Blues in Orbit") and Al Cohn's "Ah Moore" (mistitled Isabel). Evans intended these to be studio "sketches," and after this album came out, asked that they never be issued again. They're very good, though, and I'm glad to have them. Quote

mjazzg Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 John Stevens' Folkus - The Life of Riley [Affinity] I have that one from original release time. Nicely oddball. Late to the party here as usual as only just purchased this week. I think it's an album with some lovely writing, especially for the brass. I'm less keen on but enjoy the guitar features. I detect little or any folk influence but they may be cloth ears. It led me to this one which has similar brass voicings Harris Eisenstadt - Woodblock prints [No Business] Quote

Oh, I was late to the party too. I didn't know that much about Stevens (apart from the John Martyn connection and things I'd read) at the time. Remember seeing the 'Away' records but didn't buy them. Hoping someone will put those out soon. Have very much enjoyed exploring Stevens in recent years. Quote
