mjazzg Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 mine are a hodge podge of Libertys .......sigh. But, hey the music's fab any which way Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Shouldn't be surprised about the Japanese So In Love - thought about that after posting. I assume that's a CBS? I have two NY monos in nice shape, Black Fire and Point of Departure; the rest are Liberty pressings (and a King of Dance With Death). Quote

Clunky Posted February 9, 2015 Report Posted February 9, 2015 Johnny Coles-------Little Johnny C------(BN NYC) mono I just love this session. Funky without being formulaic . I bracket this with Whistle Stop for swinging ,grooving BN at it's early 60's best. Quote
paul secor Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Johnny Wick's Swinging Ozarks: Johnny Jack Boogie (United/Pearl) Hadn't listened to this in maybe 25 years. Listened today and I couldn't understand why. It's a wonderful record - a quartet w. alto, piano, bass, and drums backing a tuba playing blues singer, Preacher Stephens. Add Remo Biondi playing bluesy violin on a couple of tracks and it's something to hear. Edited February 10, 2015 by paul secor Quote

Clunky Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 The Alan Skidmore Quintet -TCB [Philips] thanks for the idea Sidewinder I've had a hard time liking this title. I only know it from the Vocalion CD. The sound seems to my ears to be impenetrable , very dense without enough separation between the instruments to make for easy listening. I've not spun it since changing my DAC so who knows it might yield more. I hope the LP is easier on the ear. Quote
Clunky Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Taking a break from my BN fest of the past 24 hours.... Sun Ra--------Cosmos-----(Blue Silver) Recorded Paris 1976 with smallish line up of 12 including Gilmore, Allen, Danny T. It's a studio recording with good sound. Limited weirdness and strikes me as one of the better Ra dates. Quote

The LP however does - especially the septet on side 2 which I enjoy very much indeed. I'd not noticed a contrast in the sound but I've stopped listening to the CD so wouldn't really.

Have this on a Japanese CD and it sounds really nice. Excellent session. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 The Alan Skidmore Quintet - Once Upon A Time [Deram Nova] stereo Now the mono which I think is packing more of a punch. Best library sale find ever - the two 'Once Upon...' and TCB all in pretty good state Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Jealous!! Nice finds...only have a stereo copy of "once upon..." which I didn't pay huge money for, but over $100 still Quote
Clunky Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Sam Rivers -------- Contours-------(BN NYC) mono Every bit as good as FSS. This NYC mono is earless which I think is standard for this title. Sounding very strong. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah there's at least 10 "NY" pressings that never had an "ear"..."components" is another example. Quote
Clunky Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Andrew Hill -------So in love-------(Warwick Japan) Not played this in a while. . To be honest I'd struggle to identify this as Hill in. BFT. It's a nice session well recorded with a slightly echoey ambiance. It's very much more straight ahead than he'd become . Quote
paul secor Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 Texas Rhythm and Blues (Ace) Cal Green's blistering guitar is all over side one of this one. Quote
B. Clugston Posted February 10, 2015 Report Posted February 10, 2015 New Vocabulary, (System Dialing). Ornette Coleman – Alto Saxophone, Jordan McLean – Trumpet & Electronics, Amir Ziv – Drums, Adam Holzman – piano. My copy has blank labels, so you have to squint and look at the runout groove to figure out which side is which. That's annoying, but the record itself actually sounds great. Great music, too. I'm still curious about why this release took five years to come out and why it had such an under-the-radar release. Whatever the case is, I'm glad it did come out. Quote
paul secor Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Air: Air Lore (Arista Novus) I've had a hard time connecting with this record since it was released. Heard more things tonight, so perhaps there's a chance for the two of us. Fred Hopkins was a magnificent bass player. Quote
