What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Homefromtheforest]

Toshi Ichiyanagi/Michael Ranta/Takehisa Kosugi "improvisation 1975" (iskra, Japan). Probably one of the rarest records in my collection and one of my favorite "avant garde" records. The original pressing sounds 10 times better then the bootlegs more commonly available

It's the only bootleg in my collection, I think. I loathe those cheaply produced counterfeits the reissue market is flooded with (think Phoenix records for this kind of music).

But this is a record I really want and I still haven't found a copy at a price I could afford. So the boot is there on the shelf. Mind you, I refuse to play it. It's just waiting to be replaced by the real thing.

Mojo Buford's Chicago Blues Summit (Mr. Blues)

[clifford_thornton]

I have the Iskra/Cortical LP of Improvisation September 1975 as well - interesting record, and since I'll never be able to find/afford an original, it'll have to do.

Miles Davis, On the Corner. I never tire of listening to this.

I love that album and the complete "on the corner" CD box set is simply incredible

Have been spinning that set this week and agree. Just too bad that Bob Belden didn't get the permission to put out the 2x4CD sets !

I think the previously unreleased material from the later sessions included in that set is mostly underwhelming. The introduction price was inflated.

What material would have been on those 2x4CD sets, Sidewinder?

[Clunky]

Don Rendell/ Ian Carr Quintet-----------Live at the Union------(Stamford Audio)

Slightly dusty recording but generally exciting 2LP set . Rendell plays well , even Brian Morton might agree.

I've sat in that student union bar recital room at UCL on many an occasion, totally oblivious to this performance having been done there. The Folk Club used to use this space.

Marion Brown Quartet - s/t [ESP-Disk]

recent arrival. Can't believe I slept on this joyful sound for so long

one of the best records out there.

Ornette Coleman ------------Shape of Jazz to come-------(Atlantic UK) mono

Inspired by the other thread pulled this one out

[mjazzg]

Enrico Rava - Pupa o Crisalide [Vista]

three different line ups recorded across three continents. Strong playing by Rava throughout

[paul secor]

Bobby Bradford Live with the Frank Sullivan Trio: One Night Stand (Soul Note)

[mjazzg]

Bobby Bradford Live with the Frank Sullivan Trio: One Night Stand (Soul Note)

A missing Bradford from my collection. How do you find it?

[colinmce]

I'm not Paul but I wouldn't label it as essential. As the title might indicate, it's pretty much a blowing date. The Mo'tet Soul Note is much, much better.

yeah, the last ESP edition included all five tracks on CD, so I had to pick it up too.

Now:

Amon Düül - Collapsing - (Metronome GER orig)

thanks. I have the Mo'tet already and enjoy that

I actually like it better than the Mo'tet date. I enjoy hearing Bobby Bradford doing somewhat straight ahead blowing. The sax player on the Mo'tet does a lot to spoil it for me.

[Homefromtheforest]

John Patton "along came john" (blue note, mono NY USA)

Michel Portal "splendid yzelment" (akt/CBS, France). Have not played this in at least 15 years...good to dig it out again. Sounds amazing...think tomorrow night I'll have to pull out "our meanings and our feelings"!

thanks Paul. I think i will investigate this one too - it is Bradford after all

I've seen mention that he wanted to do 4cds covering 1972 then another 4 covering 73 to 75. this would have included stuff that Miles didn't play on but which added insight into the development of the music. Sony/BMG put a stop to this plan apparently.

Both are great, although they are a lot less known (and harder to find) than "Alors".

"No, no, but it may be" is another fine one. And there are many more...

I just realize he will turn 80 this years. We should cherish him.

The Soul of Jazz (World Wide Stereo). An odd one from Savoy's short-lived stereo subsidiary label. All the tunes are fake gospel tunes (except for "Royal Garden Blues," which is there for some reason) arranged by Billy VerPlanck. But the solos, by Joe Wilder, Billy Harris, Bobby Jaspar, Pepper Adams, and Eddie Costa (on piano) are really good.
