Tony-Fruscella-Tony-Fruscella-362057.jpg

S/T - Tony Fruscella, trumpet, and with Allen Eager on sax and Bill Triglia, piano.

I have an interest in Italian jazzmen and especially down-and-strung- out Italian jazzmen (sort of redundant). Fruscella qualifies.

WITNESS - daagnim records

Dennis Gonzalez with Prince Lasha (and various ensembles)

A very cool record from 1980s Dallas, with an avant, hand-crafted vibe. Our very own Jim Sangrey is handling the tenor sax duties!

That looks very interesting indeed. I really enjoy Gonzalez in every context I've come across. The Silkhearts were some of my earliest Jazz purchases

Tuohi Klang "penselmann hits" (UFO, Finland). Killer 1972 album with Edward Vesala on drums.

Splendid choice!

The "Nunnu" album on Blue Master Special, which features the same musicians (plus Juhani Aaltonen, Heikki Sarmanto, etc.), is another great one from the same period.

At any rate, this cover looks VERY much like a later pressing to me, particularly that centered STEREO typeface at the top looks looks VERY 60s-ish (or even 70s)..

The original LP number was UJLP 1201 and the cover shown here ...

... looks much more like a 50s cover.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder. Might as well spin the LP later myelf. ;)

What throws me off is that this newer "STEREO" pressing shows all the signs of being old itself. It has a deep groove. So if it's a later pressing, I'm thinking it's still late 50s or very early 60s.

Could the LP be from old stock and placed in a newer cover?

Serge Chaloff - Boston Blow-Up! (Capitol). A gorgeous copy, which I found at the late, lamented Magic Bus on Conti Street in New Orleans. This "Body and Soul" ranks with the best-ever versions of the tune.

I think that the time period for DG pressings is variable, depending on the plant doing the pressings. I have a 1964 Earl Grant LP (UK Brunswick) which is DG. And my 1966 copy (UK again) of Jackie Ivory's 'Soul discovery' is also DG.

Though maybe the UK's plants weren't 'upgraded' until later.

You know I think that's the one album from this vintage I still need with Vesala! Have pretty much everything else(nana, I'm here, hot lotta, ode to Marilyn, etc) but one day I'll have to get "nunnu" as well. I have heard it though and it is a nice enough album...

Captain Beyond, Live in Texas (Purple Pyramid). Great music, but bootleg sound and, like many standard North American vinyl releases these days, heavily warped.

Anthony Braxton, Saxophone Improvisations, Series F (America).

Ray Warleigh--------Reverie-------( Vinyl )UK pressing

Really very nice session with a tougher than ECM type feel. It's not exactly a swinger nor is quite a fjordic as most ECMs. John Taylor is mercurial as ever.I've a small handful of Vinyl Record releases this one is a UK pressing the others I think are German. Fine release all round. Don't think it's been reissued.

298 BRIDGE ST - Ken Werner Sextett - Werner (p), Joe Lovano (ts, fl, musette), Billy Drewes (ts, ss, as), Bill de Arrango (g), Ratso Harris (b), Tom Rainey (d). 1981. AMF Records.

An interesting obscurity. Might make a good BFT.

would totally grab this if I saw it in the bins for a reasonable price, and in nice shape. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, it was totally news to me when I came across it in a bin for the easy- to- deal- with price of $10. Prices seem all over for this one.

There's a song on Side 2, "Ballad for Paul Motion [sic], which gives you an idea of the aesthetic direction of the album. It would not be out of place if released today, and quite surprising for a 1981 release.
