What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Imperial Brass Band - A New Orleans Street Parade Live in Paris (Sandcastle). A fairly obscure New Orleans brass band LP from 1976. The Imperial was (in this incarnation) trumpet player Alvin Alcorn's band. He took a fairly small group (seven pieces, plus a grand marshall) to Europe on this tour, presumably for economic reasons. I would have preferred another trombone and a saxophone or two, but this is still some pretty enjoyable New Orleans street band music. There doesn't seem to be a usable image on the interwebs.

Willis Jackson - Grease 'n' Gravy (Prestige silver fireworks stereo label). I like a wide of variety of music, but this is exactly what I needed tonight.

when i saw Pat last year i presented this for him to sign- he smiled and recalled it as his 1st session! he was also like: theres my real name.

Flute Flight, prompted by Larry's post. I found this one a little while back, and like it, too. Sure, Mann was never an improvisational genius, but this is a long way from his Shirtless Rock Guy days.

I associate Ozzie Cadena with Savoy, but I have several Prestige albums he produced, including a couple of Willis Jacksons and albums by Curtis Fuller, Bud Freeman, and Roy Haynes.

my 1st prestige record

Pat Martino must have just about the most elaborate musician signature out there. What he did on the cover of my 'El Hombre' is a work of art !

Miles Davis "relaxin" ...from "the great prestige recordings" 5 LP box from analogue productions. Just sublime sound...the best versions I've heard of these amazing sessions. I have an XRCD of "steamin" but the version of that record in this vinyl box trumps that as well.

That certainly looks marvelous! I have no doubt it is.

Need to dig that one out again. It's been a while.

[Homefromtheforest]

I used to have it many years ago but got rid of it..if memory serves correctly at the time it didn't really knock me out and I thought the recording quality was a bit dodgy. But it's been nearly 15 years now so maybe if I heard it again I'd have a different opinion?

[clifford_thornton]

Some of it is pretty cool but like I said, haven't heard it in a while. Think I got a sealed copy that sounded fine.
