What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

Best Blue Note original deal I ever came across was a Mobley 'No Room For Squares' mono original with ear for £5 ! The vinyl was fairly beat up but the sleeve was fine. Even in that state I suspect that the LP would have sounded pretty good, in retrospect, as Plastylite BN LPs are pretty well nuclear-proof in terms of their play-back resilience to surface damage. Like an idiot I passed on it and it was gone of course next time I went to the shop having reconsidered. It would have made a nice reserve copy if nothing else..

Most of my stuff comes from Alan Ross at Jazzhouserecords.

Recommended !

Alas re: community fairs, about the only credible offerings at the ones around here are home-made cakes etc.

I'll have to be quicker to read his monthly list next time then

I've had a few lucky finds in terms of blue notes in local shops but not many. Best for me was finding an early 2nd issue of "something else" (has the little "r" under the Blue Note logo otherwise has all first press indicators) for $5.99 Canadian in a local college rock music store..was in mint condition too...maybe they thought it was a reissue?

Alan's great. I need to start buying from him again - haven't been buying much since the spring. Too much going on.

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

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

Thanks Jeff.

Mal Waldron - The Quest [New Jazz]

You're not the only one with an aversion to George Adams' singing.

George Russell Sextet in K.C. (Decca). Actually they are in New York. Nice session with Dave Baker, Don Ellis and Dave Young.

I really like Baker's playing on "Jazz in the Space Age" but have not heard anything else. Recommendations?

My favourite record featuring Baker is George Russell Sextet at "The Five Spot," which, in a continuing theme from Russell's time at Decca, wasn't recorded where the title said it was. Great album, but the other Russells featuring Baker are all very good.

Thanks for the recommendations, everybody. Unfortunately I was confused - I was thinking of saxophonist Dave Young, not trombonist Dave Baker. Not that there's anything wrong with Dave Baker.

His singing on "Devil Blues" is ridiculous. Dude had cajones. Gotta give it to him even if it's hammy.

Ha ha, "hammy," I like that!

Sorry, could not find a smaller photo of this album.

STANKO - Tomas Stanko Quintet & solo. PolJazz.

Nice to hear Stanko incisive, energized, and even edgy, minus the usual mistiness of some of his other recordings (ahem).

Usually arrives when I am at work so guaranteed that the rarer stuff is gone by the time I've perused it !

Yes, I tend to forget that I like Zeitlin and rediscover him after a few years. This recently came out on CD in Japan, so I'll order a copy as a back-up. Not meaning to put further pressure on you before that Tokya trip...

Indeed, lovely LP. I was surprised to see copies of this for sale on catalytic Sound recently. Obviously PB must've found a stash in a cupboard somewhere

[Chuck Nessa]

Found these two in Gettysburg, PA. Both had defaced covers (by a radio station) but the lps seem unplayed.
