What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

Sunny Murray - Quintet - (ESP-Disk)

[clifford_thornton]

Joachim Kühn - Paris is Wonderful - (BYG Actuel, FR)

[Homefromtheforest]

Xenakis "persepolis" (Philips, France)

Not easy listening but I find it totally fascinating. I could say the same thing about the La Monte Young albums I have...not stuff I play very often but when I do it's definitely a unique sound world that I am exposed to.

Bitching about prices aside, I do want to grab that Wooley LP.

btw, Leeway, there is a Texas-based tape label called Astral Spirits getting off the ground soon and their first release is by Icepick: Wooley, Corsano & Haker-Flaten.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll check it out.

Evan Parker - At the Finger Palace (The Beak Doctor)

I gave that one a spin yesterday as well. One of my favourites. I also like the duet record he did with Greg Goodman around the same time.

You probably know but I'll just throw it out here, that the "Vaincu. Va! Live at the Western Front" was recorded within a week of "Finger Palace," i.e., Parker is playing at the same high level on both.

That is a nice one, too. I was at the album release concert where Parker performed in the same venue. Hope that one gets released some day.

I sat right next to Mr.Clugston at this show and agree it was a fantastic show

Michael Garrick 'Poetry and Jazz In Concert 250' (Argo, 2LP)

[jeffcrom]

Johnny Griffin's Studio Jazz Party (Riverside mono)

[clifford_thornton]

Michael Garrick 'Poetry and Jazz In Concert 250' (Argo, 2LP)

It is only now that I realized this is a different set from the other Argo double LP of Poetry and Jazz in Concert. So that means I need it too...

Yep, the other 'Poetry and Jazz' is studio recordings originally issued on two separate LPs. This one is a live performance at the RFH issued as a box set. There's a copy up on Amazon if interested !

ah looks like Craig Moerer is selling it. I'll ask him - wonder if the box is hacked or reasonable?

Orchestre Sim-Sim International (Plainisphare)

[clifford_thornton]

Kraftwerk - s/t - (Philips GER)

[jeffcrom]

Paddock Jazz Band (Biograph). Basically Papa Celestin's band after his death, recorded at the Paddock on Bourbon Street in 1953. Always interesting to hear clarinetist Alphonse Picou, who had been around pretty much since the beginning.

Later: I did search, and realized that I made the same mistake the last time I posted about this album - Celestin was still alive in 1953. In any case, the excellent Alvin Alcorn is in the trumpet chair here.

If it's in good nick it's worth getting. My copy's not bad but it did see service in a UK public library before I got it (somewhere in the SE)

We had front row seats, which made for some interesting psychoacoustic phenomena. Plus he briefly covered a Monk tune!

Deep Purple, Live in London. I love Burn-era Deep Purple. Too bad they couldn't build on it.

Steve Lacy/Evan Parker, Chirps (FMP). In honour of Lacy's birthday yesterday.

Jimmy T-99 Nelson (Ace 10" LP)

[jeffcrom]

Ken Colyer - New Orleans to London (London 10"). My cover is very similar to this UK Decca pressing. Colyer is my favorite European New Orleans-style musician - which seems like a strange category for an American to have a favorite in. But I'm a fan. So there ya go.

Pharoah & the Underground - Primative Jupiter [Clean Feed]

with Rob Mazurek, Pharoah Sanders, Chad Taylor, Matthew Lux, Mauricio Takara, Guiherme Granado

first spin. first impressions are good music let down by seemingly muddy live recording

[clifford_thornton]

hmm, the CD sounds fine although I understand that the music is different on each.

[jeffcrom]

Sonny Berman - Beautiful Jewish Music (Onyx). For those who don't know this one, it's a 1946 jam session by mostly Woody Herman band members in Jerry Newman's apartment - so of course it got recorded. Berman doesn't get any more solo space than anyone else, but he's the most interesting soloist.

[jeffcrom]

The Nashville All-Stars - After the Riot at Newport (RCA Victor mono). Hank Garland, Chet Atkins, Boots Randolph, Floyd Cramer, a 17-year-old Gary Burton, and more. Garland is excellent, as is Burton, even at his age. Boots Randolph is not a bad jazz player; unfortunately, that can't be said of Cramer and Atkins.

And a cool Jim Flora cover.

This wasn't Gary Burton's recording debut, though. Ten points to anyone who knows what that was - and you won't find it in any jazz discographies.

I know he recorded as a sideman with Hank Garland, but I don't know if that was his recording debut. That would be too easy, so probably not.

Absolutely nothing - looks like my LP12 turntable belt is worn (records are taking a minute or so to get to speed and then it is all over the place ) so it's off to the dealer this morning to put me out of my misery..

[B. Clugston]

Anthony Braxton, For Four Orchestras (Arista). Because three orchestras just isn't enough.
