What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Homefromtheforest]

MIDNIGHT WALK - Elvin Jones - Atlantic LP. With Thad Jones, Hank Mobley, Dollar Brand, et al. Cool hearing Dollar Brand in this context.

I have a Japanese pressing of this; agreed odd context for Brand

[clifford_thornton]

I really like that record.

Would have liked to have been in attendance in 1968 when the Dollar Brand group with Byard Lancaster and Walter Booker played at the Museum of Modern Art.

Bill Barron: Nebulae (Savoy Jazz)

Couldn't come up with an image to post.

The original issue.

The original pressing of this is definitely very high on my wants list. Great, great LP.

Johnny Hartman: Once in Every Life (Beehive)

[paul secor]

Gil Evans (Cecil Taylor & John Carisi): Into the Hot (Impulse) - stereo, black/orange label

[paul secor]

The Louis Armstrong Legend 1925-26 (World Records)

[Clunky]

Paal Nilssen-Love/ Mats Gustafsson----------Sin Gas--------(Bocian)

Excellent noise.

MACROSCOPE - The Nels Cline Singers - Mack Avenue (!)/Cryptogramophone LP. There is no logical argument to make for the LP over the CD, since the CD is cheaper, has several additional tracks that could not fit on the LP, plus the LP rearranges the tracks from the CD. OTOH, I like the LP track arrangement, the shorter length makes this more digestible, a download of the CD is included, Nels signed my LP and, it's vinyl! I've really kind of fallen in with Nels' aesthetic, and I enjoyed this. BTW, the title and band name are in that big white border around the cover image, but they are too faint to show up in the online images.

1-OQA+19 - Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Leonard Jones, Henry Threadgill, Steve McCall. Black Saint LP.

I wonder who named this album 1-OQA+19? It's Abram's album, but it sounds Braxtonian to me. Whoever gave it that title probably condemned it to relative obscurity; not a title that sticks in the mind or easily referenced.

Maybe someone could help out here and identify the three individuals on the front cover? I have my notions but have never been certain.

I am sure Muhal titled the date. The image contains (left to right) Muhal, Richarda and Peggy Abrams. Richarda is their daughter.

Thanks Chuck for the information. The girl in the middle particularly had me stumped. I maybe should have asked this in the first place, but does the title 1-OQA+19 have any particular meaning? Seems there is some philosophical or spiritual meaning behind it, but I don't know what it signifies or refers to.

BLACK BEAUTY: MILES DAVIS AT FILLMORE WEST - Columbia Japan 2LP

Coltrane at Newport (MCA Japan)

Bobby Naughton/Wadada Leo Smith/Perry Robinson - The Haunt (Otic)

[Leeway]

Welcome back Jeff!

[Leeway]

THE ALCHEMIST - Ernie Krivda - Inner City LP. Krivda (ts, ss, fl), Gil Goldstein (p), Eddie Gomez (b), Bobby Moses (d), Ray Mantilla (perc).

Krivda, a lifelong Clevelander, is not an easy player to pin down, which of course is good. I do know that Krivda can burn when he needs to. I've read that his early works on Cadence are strong; haven't had a chance to sample them yet.

Stuck on this one this month. Just love the sound.

THE LEE KONITZ NONET - Roulette LP

So much being said about these Nonets on another thread, thought I ought to give this a spin. That's how we roll at Organissimo.

[Chuck Nessa]

Bobby Naughton/Wadada Leo Smith/Perry Robinson - The Haunt (Otic)

Gotta dig my copy out.

Bobby Naughton/Wadada Leo Smith/Perry Robinson - The Haunt (Otic)

Gotta dig my copy out.

While this was playing this morning, my wife said that it reminded her of the gagaku music we heard in Japan. Not sure that I agree, but I'm glad she enjoyed it.

Now playing:

Paul Bley & Scorpio (Milestone). Viewed objectively, this is not the best Paul Bley album. But it's one of my favorites - partly because it was the first Bley album I bought, back in my freshman year of college.

Sidney Bechet: St. Louis Blues (BN/King)

Listened to on Jeff's recommendation and enjoyed immensely.

[jazzbo]

Sounds so good. I have to get more Kirk LPs, have the cds, but. . . .

Dexter Gordon "Go" (music matters 33rpm reissue, USA). Really impressed by all the titles in this series so far...incredible sound and pressing quality.

ZAO "kawana" (RCA, France)
