Homefromtheforest Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 A bit of a blue note binge tonight: Art Blakey "the big beat" (47w63rd, stereo) Horace Silver trio "with art blakey -Sabu) (Lexington, mono) Horace Silver "blowin the blues away" (47w63rd, mono) Grachan Moncur III "evolution" (New York, stereo) Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Capping the night off with something different: Tony Scott "djangerbali" (Saba, Germany). An old favorite..such a great album! Quote
kh1958 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 Errol Garner, The Greatest Garner (Atlantic black label), and Dick Katz, Piano and Pen (Atlantic black label) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Never had that Tony Scott but would like to. Now: Toshi Tsuchitori - Solo - (DYM, Japan) one of these oddly came into the store my friend owns in Austin years ago. He didn't know I was looking for it and it went up on eBay (didn't win). Got an untouched dead-stock copy from a friend in Japan last week and it's truly beautiful music. Now if I can just pull that damn Origination LP! Edited February 22, 2015 by clifford_thornton Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 I used to own "origination" years ago; I paid an arm and a leg for it but when I got it the music did not really match the price tag so to speak and I ended up returning it to the fellow in Japan I bought it from. Still have a nice CD though that I made from the record before returning it... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 22, 2015 Report Posted February 22, 2015 yeah, I've heard it - agreed that the cost of owning an OG is high, but it's one of those that feels somehow 'necessary' (even if very little of it is truly 'necessary'). Lucky that you were able to return the record because you weren't feeling the music - that almost never happens! Quote
kh1958 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Fred Kaz, Eastern Exposure (Atlantic mono). Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Earl Hines - Quintessential Recording Session (Chiaroscuro). Hines' 1970 remakes of the eight sides he recorded in 1928 for the QRS label. A great album, still not available on CD, I don't believe. A masterpiece. Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 23, 2015 Report Posted February 23, 2015 Earl Hines - Quintessential Recording Session (Chiaroscuro). Hines' 1970 remakes of the eight sides he recorded in 1928 for the QRS label. A great album, still not available on CD, I don't believe. A masterpiece. Back in the day, I made a cassette with each of the QRS sides followed immediately by the 1970 version of the same tune. I think I'll create an iTunes playlist with the same setup. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Tony Oxley "four compositions for sextet" (CBS, UK) Randy Burns "of love and war", "evening of the musician" (ESP, USA) Freddie Hubbard "breaking point" (blue note, King Japan) yeah, I've heard it - agreed that the cost of owning an OG is high, but it's one of those that feels somehow 'necessary' (even if very little of it is truly 'necessary'). Lucky that you were able to return the record because you weren't feeling the music - that almost never happens! It had some pops and clicks and the seller claimed it was stone mint so I used that as a reason to return it. It's a cool record don't get me wrong, but I really think the musical quality doesn't match the price tag. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 24, 2015 Report Posted February 24, 2015 Ah yeah, the old 'pops and clicks' story... seriously though, I've had some ALM pressings that sound glorious and some that sound cruddy. Who knows... Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Chick Corea - Trio Music (ECM). I don't like everything by Corea, but I like the first, mostly improvised disc of this album. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Nice Ocora - I don't have that one. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Charles Brackeen - Rhythm X [strata East] and now the second of today's arrivals.... Lester Bowie - African Children [Horo] so far exceeding expectations and they were high. Amina Claudine-Myers' vocal on track 1 are sublime Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 nice - I'll have to pick up the next reasonably-priced copy I encounter. Quote

mjazzg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee [Constellation] startling in its originality and ambition fulfilled Quote
B. Clugston Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 nice - I'll have to pick up the next reasonably-priced copy I encounter. It's nice one from the early days of Ocora. More ritualistic than musical than some of the other African recordings from that period, but really fascinating. Quote
colinmce Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter Three: River Run Thee [Constellation] startling in its originality and ambition fulfilled Haven't yet felt compelled to spin it a second time but it's thoroughly engrossing and, I think, ACTUALLY pushes the definition of what jazz is and can be.
