What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[jeffcrom]

New York Art Quartet - Call It Art (Triple Point); record two. And I guess I'm coming out of the closet as a buyer of this expensive and incredible box set. I didn't pay full price; I bought someone's promo copy. But after living with this set for four months, I have to say that it would have been worth the retail price. This is an incredible box set.

Wonder whose promo it was? They wrote my name on the box logo.

No name on mine.

Hmm nice choices! I have both of those but have not played them in years...a good reminder to dust them off again.

same here. The Incus Music Improvisation Company is much rawer than the ECM (not surprisingly).

Guess they knew I wouldn't sell mine, #Clifford.

Bobby Few - More Or Less Few [Center of The World]

first listen. First Few leader date in the collection

Good one.

[B. Clugston]

Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim), African Space Program (Enja). Great album with a large ensemble. Sadly my copy is worn--sounds like the previous owner played it a lot on granny's old stereo console with the thrashed needle.

Don Ellis At Fillmore (Columbia). I'd give this one 3 3/4 stars, or 1 and 7/8 thumbs up.

Bobby Few - More Or Less Few [Center of The World]

first listen. First Few leader date in the collection

I have the Few, totally dig it. There are sections on it where he makes Cecil sound like a Chopin recitalist. It's rough and raw, and I love that aspect., as well as the almost DIY facet of the album.

[His Boy Elroy]

Inspired by a couple recent "Persuasions" posts. This is the only one of theirs I own, but it's excellent. 'Hadn't spun it in a while . . .

Wayne Shorter - Odyssey of Iska [blue Note]

Bobby Few - More Or Less Few [Center of The World]

first listen. First Few leader date in the collection

There are sections on it where he makes Cecil sound like a Chopin recitalist.

Loved that comparison Leeway.

First listen certainly revealed a strong session
