What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[colinmce]

I caught them in Chicago, 2005 or 6. It was fantastic. Not much to see, so I just had my eyes closed most of the set.

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah I skipped that first series of non-ATP reunion shows. Of course by the time I heard them in the mid-90s they were long broken up.

Now:

Spontaneous Music Ensemble - Face To Face - (Emanem, UK orig)

[papsrus]

Schubert Octet in F Major, Op 166 -- New Vienna Octet

[paul secor]

Luckey Roberts and Willie "The Lion" Smith: Harlem Piano Solos (Good Time Jazz)

[paul secor]

Benny Carter & Dizzy Gillespie: Carter, Gillespie, Inc. (Pablo)

George Adams - Sound Suggestions (ECM). Chosen because I wanted to hear not only George Adams, but Kenny Wheeler.

[jeffcrom]

Young Tuxedo Brass Band - Jazz Continues (504). A lot of folks here seem to be fans of the Young Tuxedo's 1958 album Jazz Begins. This is their only other album, from 25 years later. Two members from 1958 were still in the band - alto saxophonist Herman Sherman (now the leader of the band) and trombonist Clement Tervalon. This album is not as sublime as the earlier one, but it's pretty good

Sonny Rollins Trio in Stockholm 1959 (Dragon)

George Adams - Sound Suggestions (ECM). Chosen because I wanted to hear not only George Adams, but Kenny Wheeler.

Does George sing on many tracks? I've always struggled with his vocals and have avoided this album just in case. That line-up's sure to deliver though

[Homefromtheforest]

I used to own that LP because of Wheeler's presence many years ago but got rid of it because I hardly played it and when I did the music did not really grab me. However I'd be curious to hear it again as it's been 10-15 years since I trimmed it from the collection...

Marion Brown - Three for Shepp [impulse]

Marion Brown - Why Not [ESP/Japan]

He sings one one blues - "Got Somethin' Good For You." I like his singing, but everyone's taste is different, of course.

I liked it right away - I've probably had it 30 years. It is an album that makes me understand some folks' qualms about ECM's approach to sound. The rhythm section sounds great - clear and detailed - while the saxophones (Heinz Sauer is the other one) are down in the mix and soft-edged. Not a fatal flaw to me, though - I still like it.

I was just looking at this one at amazon. One reviewer said the sound quality was kind of rough. Your thoughts?

The tapes came from Tristano's collection, so they're not studio quality but, to me, they're perfectly listenable.

[clifford_thornton]

All Tristano is worth having, afaik.

Thanks.

Paps has been listening to some good classical vinyl lately!

[Clunky]

Herbie Hancock ---------Maiden Voyage--------(BN NYC mono )

Latest arrival . I thought my Toshiba edition ( stereo) was good but this is something else.

[Homefromtheforest]

I hear that title will be presented next year in the music matters 33rpm reissue series in mono..can't wait for that! That series has been really excellent so far and it's nice to hear some of these titles in pristine/quiet condition. Nothing annoys me more then spending 3 figures on an original blue note only to hear some crackles and pops..even if there's only a few..

[B. Clugston]

Abbey Lincoln, People In Me (Inner City). Nice session from 1974 featuring a few members of Miles Davis' band of the time (Dave Liebman, Al Foster, Mtume).

[Homefromtheforest]

Can "Tago Mago" (united artists, Germany). Original German press and killer fidelity
