I never heard a better groove laid down by a drummer in this bag ever! Fabuloso! Welcome to the club. Purdie and Idris can be pretty groovy at times, too. Now playing Florida Mass Choir - Be encouraged - Savoy 7064 MG Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Eric Dolphy 'Out There' (Esquire) Esquire!? And it's still audible? MG Quote
sidewinder Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Eric Dolphy 'Out There' (Esquire) Esquire!? And it's still audible? MG Yes, actually sounds fantastic - the clarity of cello and bass is amazing. Most likely better than the original New Jazz in terms of audio quality (not too difficult). 'RVG' in the runout. Now spinning Tubby Hayes Orchestra '100% Proof' (Fontana mono) Quote

Now spinning Tubby Hayes Orchestra '100% Proof' (Fontana mono) Wow! Every Esquire album I ever saw looked and sounded like it had been to about 784 parties and been played all night using a rusty nail! Just played The versatility of Jesse Morrison now on Bu Pleasant - Ms Bu - a great organist! MG Quote
sidewinder Posted January 6, 2006 Report Posted January 6, 2006 Yes, a typical problem with well-played Esquires is that they have been played on old 1950s gramaphones with knitting needles wired to tin cans. Fortunately, I think this one was treated with kid gloves. In good condition they usually sound very full and with lots of 'body'. Quote
Allan Songer Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 In honor of that crazy-ass Dexter Gordon thread-- Stan Levey, This Time the Drums on Me, Bethlehem mono original. I don't care how loaded he was, his solo on "Stanley the Steamer" is effing AWESOME! Quote
sidewinder Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Continuing in the Dexter 'vein', BN mono originals of 'Dexter Calling', 'Gettin Around' and the stereo 'Our Man In Paris' on deck next. Currently spinning Freddie Redd 47W63rd DG 'The Connection' Quote
spinlps Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Revisited the Clifford Brown PJ / BN box. Only got through one side before the kids got up, but it's a start... Quote
brownie Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Jaki Byard 'Flight of the Fly' (Le Chant du Monde) The Jazztet 'Moment to Moment' (Soul Note) The 1983 band with Art Farmer, Curtis Fuller, Benny Golson, Mickey Tucker, Ray Drummont and 'Tootie' Heath Quote
paul secor Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Jaki Byard 'Flight of the Fly' (Le Chant du Monde) Flight of the Fly is a GREAT LP - too bad it hasn't been reissued. Or has it? Quote
kh1958 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Dexter Gordon--Doin' All Right--side 2--this Liberty pressing (an early one, I think), purchased used years ago, sounds great, except that there is distortion in the saxophone, like someone played it with a bad needle, but for some reason it only affected the tenor. Frustrating. Freddie Hubbard--High Energy--side 2--electric Freddie, but that version of Too High, sounds great to me--electrified trumpet and all, with fantastic Junior Cook. Quote
brownie Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Flight of the Fly is a GREAT LP - too bad it hasn't been reissued. Or has it? Paul, don't think it has ever been reissued (same goes for the other marvels from the Chant du Monde piano series). The Byard is a wonderful album. Somehow it was in the wrong place and I only managed to locate it a few days ago! Glad I spinned that one... Now enjoying: Dave McKenna 'A Celebration of Hoagy Carmichael' (Concord) Another amazing piano player! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 7, 2006 Report Posted January 7, 2006 Houston Person - Heavy juice Lou Donaldson - Coleslaw David Newman - Bigger and better MG Quote
sidewinder Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 Big John Patton 'Along Came John' (BN NY USA stereo original). Great though this session sounds on the Mosaic Select, it truly comes to life on the vinyl. The depth of the B-3 sound and the pedal-work was captured superbly by RVG. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 Just finished "Teddy's ready" - Teddy Edwards. MG Quote
brownie Posted January 8, 2006 Report Posted January 8, 2006 Tete Montoliu 'Yellow Dolphin Street' (Timeless) Randy Weston 'African Rhythms' (Le Chant du Monde) Quote
