What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Ben Webster - Remember (Dutch Mercury). I have this on CD as "Big Ben Time". It's a nice swinging relaxed date from late in Ben's life (1967). I like most of this one. I could do without the organ tracks.

Ben sounds so fine on that one that the organ didn't bother me. As you say, a very good record.

KOM HUP LOOS - Gijs Hendriks Quartet: Gijs Hendriks (ts, as, ss), Stan Tracey (p), Bert Van Erk (b), John Engels (d). he LP. 1983.

Hard to find a decent image of this album; the one above is a little bit trimmed. Not quite straight-ahead.

OK LeeWay, here a pic of my copy.

I know Gijs for years and have him seen perform dozens and dozens of time.

Thanks! Too nice a cover to crop. I like Gijs playing here. (Don't have anything else by him). Tracey's too.

The Thing - The Jazz Crusaders ( PJ-87 mono )

For a split second there I thought this was another very imaginative project by Mats Gustafsson, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten and Paal Nilssen-Love

[B. Clugston]

Dollar Brand, African Portraits (Sackville). Abdullah Ibrahim warms up a Toronto studio in the winter.

Steve Lacy, Lapis. (Japanese version)

One of my luckier finds:

NOW'S THE 'FRIPPE' TIME - Bengt "Frippe" Nordstrom (cl, contra bass clarinet, tenor sax, vocal), et al. Dragon LP. Important and influential swedish jazz saxophonist, also friend to Albert Ayler.

and:

BENGT - Mats Gustafsson (solo). Utech Records. Homage to Bengt "Frippe" Nordstrom. Mats on Grafton alto sax. LP on lovely creamy white vinyl (yes, I'm a sucker for that sort of thing; a little eye candy is not a bad thing). Mats was nice enough to sign my copy. I miss The Thing!

[clifford_thornton]

I dig Frippe. Hoping for that Blue Tower Frippe solos box to materialize.

MING - David Murray Octet- Black Saint. It would have been hard to improve upon this ensemble's personnel.

[Leeway]

WHAT'S NEW - Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons, Sunny Murray - Freedom LP.

Lyons is electric on this one, and even occasionally overshadows Cecil.
