Homefromtheforest Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Horace Silver Trio "with art blakey and Sabu" (blue note, Lexington flat edge USA) a recent acquisition...my very first true early vintage blue note Lexington! And for a bargain price...don't think my wallet will let me pursue this collecting avenue too much Norman Connors "love from the sun" (cobblestone, USA). Inspired by felsers current BFT...out of the 3 Connors albums I own I think this is my favorite. Quote

JSngry Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Bought comparatively cheaply as an object, very pleasantly suprised that it's in much better condition than the one I borrowed/nearly ended up stealing from my band director, except for an unrepairable scratch/needle-stick on "Lover Man" which really sucks, but hey, $12 for an object, carpe diem. Also bought as an object, because I remember the first time I saw this in a record store, I so did not understand the concept of bootleg labels releasing unissued stolen studio stuff from 40 years previously, I just thought well, this is WEIRD, every bit of it, and seeing this cover again, yead, it still looks weird. And there's a drawing of a dachshund on the label, part of the design. The more you know, the more you know you don't know. Bought for the music, enjoyed for the music, and jesus, it sounds like there's an L.A. studio band involved on Side Two, either that or a Carla Bley band recorded really well. Delightful! Quote
vinyltim Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 The recent AP mono issue of Tenor Madness--sounds very good... ...and an excellent Music Matters 45rpm--Sam Rivers Fuchsia Swing Song Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Wilbur Morris---------Wilbur Force--------(DIW) 1983 session with David Murray and Dennis Charles. Excellent music , surprisingly poor pressing will have to dig mine out again - it's been years - but I remember it sounding fine. The introduction is awesome. Quote
Clunky Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Emil following a rather different path from brother Albert in 1966. L+R Records reissue from 1979. Quote
JSngry Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 Bought as an object, will be kept as such, on the shelves right next to my early 70s UA (NOT Blue Note!) two-fer of the BN sessions. Bought primarily out of curiosity, which was rewarded. Raggedyasstightness and BOOTSY! Damn good band, and I'm reminded again how the one place in school where the classical/jazz/New Music divides were not absolutely non-overcome-able was the percussion department. Hello, African diaspora in full effect., to this day, all we need is a drummer for people who only need a beat, but even if you don't, STILL all you need is a drummer - if it's the right drummer. Otherwise, all you need is a good bassist. Out Of The Cool is a totally different record with "Sister Sadie" leading off Side One. Who knew? Will get to the McFarland half tomorrow, it's been decades since I heard it, I think... Moral of the story - if you clear all the CDs off the lid on your turntable, you can play records on it. Bigger moral of the story - you can put CDs in places you didn't know you had, especially if you do it when nobody's looking. Sorry if that sounds obscene, but I'm waiting for LTB to find them. Then we can talk about sounding obscene. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 Not even a funk fan per se but that JB's record is totally great. Quote

JSngry Posted December 6, 2014 Report Posted December 6, 2014 Out Of The Cool is a totally different record with "Sister Sadie" leading off Side One. Who knew? Will get to the McFarland half tomorrow, it's been decades since I heard it, I think... Out Of The Cool is also a totally different record with "Where Flamingos Fly" following "Bilbao" on Side Two...I'd recommend that all serious Evans enthusiasts check this set out simply to enjoy the effect of the different programming, it's...significant, at least to me it was. The McFarland stuff...a little disappointing. Great writing, but a little moth-bally emotionally (again, to me). Richard Davis, though, hey... Also on the table today (a low impact work day, time to get up every 15-20 minutes and pay attention while listening, Perfect LP Storm!). Forget all about today's "Shecky" synonym-cliches about old-school Vegas hacks, this motherfucker was SHARP. Old-school sharp, yes, but the voice heard here is that of a man who sees and hears everything and is ready for it before it comes at him. The assumption that it all will come at him, hey, that's another discussion, but not this one. PSA - If you have kids who like to music-shop, Skype with them while they do. My daughter & her boyfriend (on premises) & I (Skype-ing with them) found this in the basement of Dusty Groove for a buck, and it's nowhere near as plowed as I expected it to be, being in that place at that price. And the presence, jeez, this sucker pops out of the speakers, POWWWWwwww, Plus, although there's no such thing as THE perfect jazz record, I don't know what that means,, I'll express a personal opinion and say that this is certainly A perfect jazz record. Some people say big bands, why? Well, THIS, that's why. The DG basement inventory is not listed online, so...Skype Diem! Went into this not expecting much...the kid looks like Gary Lewis, it's on Coral, and the liner notes by NFL Hall-Of-Famer Lenny Moore just reek of opportunistic tax-break Presenting-ism, but...it's not a bad record, at times it's a little surprising, actually, when the kid plays like a kid and not an eager-to-please lick-licker. Not sure that Eric Gale was the right guy at this time, he was still green himself, at least relative to what he would become, but overall, I've heard beter by worse. Plus, the back cover shows two wild bill Davis & one Lionel Hampton w/Charlie Teagarden records on Coral which, as with this one, I've never even dreamed about possibly existing even in theory. WTF? UBER plus, though, is Moore's liner essay, which is, on the whole, pretty amazing, if wholly counter to any jazz-hype conventionality. He starts out painting a picture of a kid who literally couldn't even make it through the Star Spangled Banner but who sat in anyway and showed...something, and then Moore took him in under his wing, let him move in with him, took him around to meet all the cats, groomed him until he began to get a rep as "a white cat with soul", and now, here he is, y'all, here he is. But the MEGA-UBER plus is this passage: I remember when I saw "Coltrane" yeas back, here in Baltimore; after each set, "Trane" would go in the back with his horn and begin practicing different scale runs, all with tremendous rapidity. As far as my layman's ear was concerned, it was "over, around, and through the scale". It sort of reminded me of a man trying to walk in the front door and back out at the same time. Hello NFL Hall-Of-Famer Lenny Moore, unwitting catcher of Trane's quantum-ness in action. bravo, sir, BRAVO! Spoonful of HOOT! is more like it..otoh, blatantly commercial/etc/blahblahbla. OTOH, whatever false notes are palyed are played no differently than they are on any pop-record-for-hire, and, most pleasantly, none are played by Shank. Shank plays this shit really nicely, actually. As far as personal investment potential here, none, negative, in fact. But as far as objective appreciation of task accomplished relative to task intended...not a failure, not even. Carol Kay on bass helps this a lot, and Shorty Rogers...Short was doing session with the Monkees too, so let's just say that the lack of condescension and the presence of a real-world sensitivity to what this stuff was supposed to sound like instead of some "jazz interpretation" way of sending a stealth message of fuquitousness from all to all is noted here with respect and a small degree of genuine pleasure. If "Forgotten Genius" is inaccurate, I'll withdraw it. But you gotta prove it first, and this won't be what you'll use as evidence. I'm just now/finally getting around to Carter, and geez, what took me so long, my bad. Comparisons between this and the Arditti are instructive, as well as being the only comparisons I can make at this point. That will change as time goes by, assuming that I'm here to go with it. Anyway, there's an inherent playfulness to this music, not silliness or goofiness...joyousness might be a better word, joy in just bouncing all that shit around, bobbing and weaving it in and out back and forth, that I find completely irresistible. It's melodious as hell, really, full-bore melody. Not "lyrical" but melodic. Melody means a lot of different things, if you ask me. Quote
