What vinyl are you spinning right now??

The Grateful Dead------------Hampton '79--------------(Rhino)

Brief look into my local record shop. Few things tempted me. I've only a very little Dead in my collection but went for this RSD release to support the shop. It's a pretty good performance in slightly better than average (for sound board) recording quality.

[kh1958]

Wes Montgomery, Montgomery-Johnson Quintet (Epic/Resonance 10 inch), and

Wes Montgomery, Montgomery-Johnson Quintet Live at the Turf Club (Resonance ten inch).

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Kenny Barron - Golden Lotus (Muse). Nice date - killer lineup. I never saw this on CD. Did it ever make it?

[Leeway]

I knew I had Vol. I of the Tuba Trio laying about, wanted to play it with Vol. II, but simply could not find it, until I accidentally turned it up looking for something else:

Now I need Vol. III.

Kenny Barron - Golden Lotus (Muse). Nice date - killer lineup. I never saw this on CD. Did it ever make it?

All 5 tracks are on "Sunset" 2CD compilation issued in 1999 on the Camden Deluxe imprint.

Frank Lowe/Phillip Wilson: Out of Nowhere (Ecstatic Peace)

Paul, wanted to ask you what you thought of this album. I got a quick listen to it up in NYC and it struck me as rather tame and conventional, which was a huge disappointment. However, I did not have much time to spend with it (even though it is only one-sided). Your thoughts?

I like it. It's short - only two cuts on one side - and not as "out" as much of Lowe's playing, but there's good interplay between he and Phillip Wilson, and it presents a side of Lowe that I enjoy hearing.

Cecil Taylor------------It is in the Brewing Luminous----------(hatArt)

Side B, perfect Sunday night listening.

[clifford_thornton]

I used to have a very crackly copy of this, which is too bad because the Sonatas are beautiful. Would like to find a clean-sounding copy.

[clifford_thornton]

Grex - Monster Music - (Brux)

created and released by our own ep1str0phy !

[JSngry]

One of those records where you wonder why more people didn't pick up on this and know exactly why they didn't pick up on it all at once.

Lennie Tristano: New York Improvisations (Elektra Musician)

[paul secor]

Walt Dickerson Trio: To My Son (Steeplechase)

Not exactly the cover of my LP, but the best I could come up with.

Cool find! I've flipped through a zillion LPs in dealer bins and never seen this one (but now that you've broken the ice, maybe it will happen). I don't know if it is indicated on the LP jacket, but the title is from a fine Jean Toomer poem.

Thanks. I was lucky as the only bidder on ebay listing. The cover and insert's mostly in Japanese but I had no idea about the title's inspiration - I will investigate the poem this evening

Doing my part for poetry

November Cotton Flower

BY JEAN TOOMER

Boll-weevil’s coming, and the winter’s cold,

Made cotton-stalks look rusty, seasons old,

And cotton, scarce as any southern snow,

Was vanishing; the branch, so pinched and slow,

Failed in its function as the autumn rake;

Drouth fighting soil had caused the soil to take

All water from the streams; dead birds were found

In wells a hundred feet below the ground—

Such was the season when the flower bloomed.

Old folks were startled, and it soon assumed

Significance. Superstition saw

Something it had never seen before:

Brown eyes that loved without a trace of fear,

Beauty so sudden for that time of year.

[mjazzg]

Just been reading, and enjoying it online. Now learning about Toomer whilst listening to this (sent to it by references to Karintha)

more Toomer poetry here too I only now realise.

Here's to the O Board's (and Leeway's) educational powers - Brit finally learns something about American poetry
