Jazz West Coast Vol. 3-------( Vogue UK)- ex Pacific

Classic cover with a diver coming of the water with a trident and trumpet. Great set of tunes including Too Marvellous for Words by Phil Urso/Bob Burgess - a track which by all accounts hasn't seen too many issues.

Just picked this up in ATL while on a business trip! Great stuff.

Laboratorio della Quercia (Horo). This two-LP set is one of the great unsung masterpieces of the Horo catalog. A 20-piece avant-garde orchestra improvises and plays charts in Rome, 1978. On board are Kenny Wheeler, Enrico Rava, Roswell Rudd, Steve Lacy, Steve Potts, Evans Parker, Tristan Honsinger, Frederick Rzewski, Kent Carter, and Paul Lytton.

Where do you find this stuff in Atlanta? I travel there quite a bit an dont see material like this at the usual haunts.

At one point, in the late 80s maybe, Horo had a closeout sale on remaining stock. If I recall correctly, Jeff bought a bunch that way - lucky him as they were cheap back then.

Clifford is right, but some of my Horos go back further than that - I bought them directly from Horo when they were active; they advertised in Jazz Journal International, which my college library carried.

I have found a few in record stores over the years, but they seldom show up that way. I know that I got a Michael Smith at Record Ron's in New Orleans in the 1990s, and a Ran Blake in Atlanta - but that was probably 15 or 20 years ago.

I will say that I'm luckier than most folks regarding Horo's catalog - or maybe it's just that I'm older. But I've got just about all of them that I really coveted - all three Sun Ras, all three Steve Lacys, the Gil Evans double, the Max Roach double, the MEV double, Konitz/Solal double, the Laboratorio della Quercia double, two Michael Smiths, one of the Sam Rivers (I've got a boot of the other one), and one each by Ran Blake, Roswell Rudd, George Adams, and Don Pullen. I had the Garrett List, but really didn't like it, and sold it to someone here. (Clifford, maybe?) There are a few more I'd like to have, but I'm pretty happy with what I've got.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, you sold me your List so I could upgrade from my ratty copy. Sounds fine!

Absolutely spot on. I've still got copies with those adverts (full page). In fact they were offering their entire vinyl catalogue as a bulk purchase option as I recall, but you had to send a bankers draft to the (iffy) address in Italy by post. Long before Paypal etc. I remember thinking at the time, which lunatics would be bothered/daft enough to do that.?...

I think I posted my copy somewhere on these forums at one point, but here it is again. Lust away....

[clifford_thornton]

if only I'd been into jazz in the 1980s (and had an allowance that could afford albums) !

[Homefromtheforest]

I have a stack of select issues of Cadence magazine from the late 70s and early 80s. When I look at their distribution catalog lists inside I just shake my head...FMP, Incus, and ICP stuff(amongst others) for like $5-10!

Of course if I were even older I would have stocked up on original Blue Notes too...

Original stereo.

Johnny Coles; The Warm Sound of.....French Epic issue.

Arthur Blythe - Blythe Spirit [CBS]

revisiting after many years and I'm pleased I have, been too long. Such a great ensemble sound irrespective of some arresting solos

Love the variety on this one. Great record. I wish Mosaic or someone would re-release his CBS LPs in a CD box set.

more Arthur ....with the CD of Lennox Avenue Breakdown in between

Johnny Griffin "introducing" (blue note, King Japan)

Pete La Roca "Basra" (blue note, King Japan)

Sonny Greenwich "sun song" (CBC, Canada)

[jeffcrom]

Duke Ellington - Ellington Indigos (Columbia stereo). The stereo issue is patently inferior to the mono issue, since one tune, "The Sky Fell Down," did not get recorded in stereo and is not included on the stereo album. But I still spin the stereo version occasionally, since a couple of the stereo takes are different from those used on the mono album.
