porcy62 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Definitely not the best Shorter's I have, dust bin pick. Quote
mjazzg Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Fire! Orchestra - Second Exit [Rune Grammofon] Quote
Leeway Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 NUBA - Andrew Cyrille, Jimmy Lyons, Jeanne Lee. Black Saint LP. Probably as close as I'm likely to come to an actual Jeanne Lee album, unless I make a lucky find. Quote
Clunky Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Fire! Orchestra - Second Exit [Rune Grammofon] I was considering this but nearly £30 direct from Rune seemed more than I cared to spend. Do you have a better source ? Quote
mjazzg Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Fire! Orchestra - Second Exit [Rune Grammofon] I was considering this but nearly £30 direct from Rune seemed more than I cared to spend. Do you have a better source ? Afraid not. I miscalculated the conversion and didn't think I was spending as much as I did - doh! It's a good listen, powerful and with that Fire! groove but probably not essential. I don't know the first Orchestra release so can't offer a comparison more Jeanne Lee on this one. Certainly not as prominent as on many other Hampel releases though Quote
Leeway Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 NICE GUYS - Art Ensemble of Chicago - ECM LP. 1978. Quote
colinmce Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 NUBA - Andrew Cyrille, Jimmy Lyons, Jeanne Lee. Black Saint LP. Probably as close as I'm likely to come to an actual Jeanne Lee album, unless I make a lucky find. One of my favorites. The last CD I bought at an actual record store almost 4 years ago Quote
Leeway Posted March 17, 2014 Report Posted March 17, 2014 Hampel sounded like a good suggestion, and nothing wrong with more Jeanne Lee: the 8th of july 1969 - Gunter Hampel -Flying Dutchman gatefold LP. Hampel, Anthony Braxton, William Breuker, Steve McCall, Arjen Gorter, Jeanne Lee. Great lineup and album. Quote
paul secor Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Listened to some blues (and one gospel) 45s late this afternoon: Guitar Shorty: Hard Life (Pull) Golden Harp Gospel Singers: Calling Jesus My Rock (Peacock) Abb Locke/Otis Rush: Cleo's Back (Rooster) Billy Boy Arnold: I Wish You Would (Vivid) Don and Dewey: Strechin' (sic) Out (Rush) D.C. Bender: Boogie Children (Ivory) Tommy Louis & The Rhythm Rockers: The Hurt Is On (Muriel) Quote
B. Clugston Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Since most of you seem to be on a Jeanne Lee kick, I'm now playing Broadway by Gunther Hampel and the Galaxie Dream Band. It has one of those generic Birth covers you are supposed to colour yourself. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Hampel sounded like a good suggestion, and nothing wrong with more Jeanne Lee: the 8th of july 1969 - Gunter Hampel -Flying Dutchman gatefold LP. Hampel, Anthony Braxton, William Breuker, Steve McCall, Arjen Gorter, Jeanne Lee. Great lineup and album. Agreed; great album. Used to have a very noisy copy on Birth until I found a clean Flying Dutchman pressing. His Wergo album around the same time or a year before is even better! Right now: Richard Beirach "eon" (ECM, Germany) Quote
mjazzg Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 thanks to Homefromtheforest for the reminder a lovely 'Nardis' to kick off the album and now today's arrival. Love the cover painting apart from anything else. I'm trying to ease my way into Lacy (I know he has many fans on this board) after years of having a blind (or should that be deaf) spot. The Rudd on this helps me a lot Quote

Love the cover painting apart from anything else. I'm trying to ease my way into Lacy (I know he has many fans on this board) after years of having a blind (or should that be deaf) spot. The Rudd on this helps me a lot If memory serves that's a painting by an american named Kenneth Noland. It took me a few years to warm to Lacy myself but now I have almost everything he's done! Try "the window" or "morning joy" too as starting points. Edited March 18, 2014 by Homefromtheforest Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Noland was born in North Carolina - a Black Mountain College student - and lived for quite a while in DC. He was/is a great painter. Did the set design for Futurities as well (which I recall was never presented as envisioned). Quote
Leeway Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Han Bennink - Solo - (ICP, NL) To very roughly paraphrase JFK's witticism on Thomas Jefferson, one might say that a Bennink solo album is like another musician's big band. Quote

mjazzg Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Steve Lacy - Wordless [Musica Records] I like this one a lot Edited March 18, 2014 by mjazzg Quote
Clunky Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 Talk of Lacy has me digging out what few titles I have on LP High, low and Order------(Claxon) duo from 1978 with Maarten Altena Quote

Fairly little drumming on this one - it's full of Chinese violin madness, throat singing, broken trumpet wrangling and what sounds like a very mangled tenor saxophone at one point. It's pretty wasted. Quote

Leeway Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I'll throw in a Lacy album: DEADLINE - Steve Lacy (ss), Ulrich Gumpert (p). Sound Aspects LP. Quote
