What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Alfred]

Paul Bryant - Burnin' (Pacific Jazz, mono deep groove original)

[Alfred]

Again some Pacific recordings:

Gerry Mulligan - Paris concert (PJ-1210)

next:

Richard Twardzik - The last set (PJ-1212)

[brownie]

Johnny Hodges-Earl 'Fatha' Hines 'Stride Right' (Verve mono, yellow label, DJ copy)

with Kenny Burrell, Richard Davis and Joe Marshall

[Alfred]

John Lewis & Sacha Distel - Afternoon in Paris (Atlantic, Warner-Pioneer JAZZ-FOREVER-series from Japan) - great sound!!!

[brownie]

Sal Nistico 'Neo/Nistico' (Beehive)

with Ted Curson, Nick Brignola, Ronnie Matthews, Sam Jones, Roy Haynes

[clifford_thornton]

For too long I have passed up the Beehive discography, though that Reece has always piqued my curiosity. How's the Nistico?

[brownie]

How's the Nistico?

Excellent! My favorite Nistico so far! Too few occasions to listen to him. Roy Haynes kills on that one.

Those Beehive sessions must have been exciting events with all participants in full form.

The only thing I don't like about the label is their covers. Most could have used better images!

[brownie]

Now:

Cool Jazz at Saint-Germain des Prés (Jazz in Paris)

the first and probably only vinyl from the series. A 10-inch LP that won't come out on CD!

With 1956 sides by barytone sax players Armand Migiani and Michel de Villers

next:

Jimmy Hamilton 'It's About Time!' With Clark Terry and Britt Woodman (Swingville, red label)

[sidewinder]

Joe Chambers 'Urban Grooves' (Eighty-Eights)

[porcy62]

Sonny Rollins Way Out West, Contemporary mono

Usually I find Contemporary's sound recordists were much better then RVG, this is one of that case.

That's true! The Contemporary mono sound is outstanding.

Anita O'Day Sings Jimmy Giuffre Arrangements 'Cool Heat' (Verve Japan)

[sidewinder]

'All Love - Grady Tate Sings' (Eighty-Eights). Superb Japanese pressing and good batchelor-pad album..

[sidewinder]

For too long I have passed up the Beehive discography, though that Reece has always piqued my curiosity. How's the Nistico?

These are great ! The ones to check out are the Sal Nistico, the Nick Brignola, the Dizzy Reece and the Curtis Fuller. The Sal Salvadors are good as well.

Some of the best hard bop recordings from the 1970s IMO.

Good 'ol Roy DuNann...untouchable!!!

[Parkertown]

On my table last nite: Rahsaan Roland Kirk-Volunteered Slavery

God, I love this album! What he lacks in vocal ability he make up for in sheer enthusiasm. Probably my favorite versions of "My Cherie Amour" & "I Say A Little Prayer." Side 1 is just crazy-good, especially the choir. And then Side 2 comes on and blows you away with sheer power!

"I'm sorry folks, we started off a little slow at first. The problem was I wasn't looking at my piano player, and I've been smokin' a little...so when I came out here, I was completely blind"!!!

[brownie]

Now spinning another Roy DuNann masterpiece:

Hampton Hawes 'For Real' (Contemporary, mono original)

with Harold Land, Scott LaFaro, Frank Butler

[sidewinder]

In recognition of the email received from Blue Note today announcing his return to 'the fold'

Andrew Hill 'Judgement' (BN NY USA mono, DG side 1) and 'Compulsion' (BN NY USA mono)

[clifford_thornton]

Freddie Hubbard Breaking Point

(craptastic UA with stains on the cover)

Next up - if I can find it in the moving boxes, maybe I'll spin Compulsion (Liberty Stereo, perfect copy).
