clifford_thornton Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 I only have a few; the Carlos Ward Quartet w/ Woody Shaw and Amina Claudine Myers' Song For Mother E are both pretty excellent. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 Playing CDs now but earlier I played: Karin Krog "Joy" (Sonet, Japan) Quote
Clunky Posted March 31, 2015 Report Posted March 31, 2015 Bud Freeman --------and his Summa Cum Laude trio------(Dot) Modern sounding Bud solos plenty support by Mousey Alexander (drums) and Bob Hammer (piano). Hammer whose name I'm not familiar with sounds good. Modern swing the kind of thing Scott Hamilton has been playing for several decades. Whilst there's clearly no bebop here it does sound 'modern' to my ears. Sits nicely along side Bud's "Something tender" (UA) which I'll play next. I prefer the latter but the Dot date doesn't deserve it's obscurity. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 ^ That looks like it would be good. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Freddie Hubbard "goin up" (blue note, 47 w 63rd mono) a slightly worn copy but plays surprisingly well...these old blue notes are pretty durable! A beautiful date by an all star cast. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Don Rendell "space walk" (EMI Columbia, UK). This copy is pristine...great 1972 session. Quote
B. Clugston Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Gunter Hampel and his Galaxie Dream Band, Celebrations (Birth). 2 LP set of the octet version of the band. Nice album and I also like the fact I don't have to colour in the cover on this one. Quote
sidewinder Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 'Sonny Stitt and The top Brass' (Atlantic blue/green) Richard Carpenter's imprint all over this one. Don Rendell "space walk" (EMI Columbia, UK). This copy is pristine...great 1972 session. We still need Dutton Vocalion to reissue that one on CD ! Quote
JohnS Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Max Roach plus 4 and More. Similar artwork but adds "& More" Emarcy Japan Quote
corto maltese Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Michelle Rosewoman - The Source [soul Note] This one hasn't survived the current trimming down of my collection. She's a fine player, but this set never really catches fire and things aren't helped by the thin, boxy recording and AkLaff's not very inspired drumming. I much prefer Bang's "Rainbow Gladiator". Just played it a second time. Keeper for me. My opinion sounds a bit harsher than it was meant to be. After all, I've had and enjoyed this for years. But I won't miss it when it's gone. That's a feeling I've got with quite a few Soul Note/Black Saint titles from the 1980s. Probably I simply haven't been discriminating enough in buying them. Last night's playlist: Art Ensemble of Chicago "People in sorrow" (Pathé-Marconi) (Gorgeous.) Cecil Taylor "Solo" (Trio Japan) (I've played this one LOUD.) Stan Getz Quartet "The Steamer" (HMV UK) (Lights and volume turned down.) Quote

mjazzg Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Art Ensemble of Chicago - Message to Our Folks [bYG/Japan] Masterful followed by People in Sorrow [Nessa] more masterful Edited April 1, 2015 by mjazzg Quote
mjazzg Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Polar Bear - Same As You [Leaf] Pharoah Sanders- Live at the East [impulse] Pharoah Sanders - Izipho Zam (My Gifts) [strata East] Edited April 1, 2015 by mjazzg Quote
Leeway Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Another Leo LP. Glad to find it a bit more avant than I was expecting. Quote
mjazzg Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 I have that Ganelin Trio somewhere. I must dig it out keeping with Strata East here. Cecil McBee - Mutima in the recent Wire McBee interview it mentions that the first track is McBee bowing across two amplified basses and manipulating the feedback from the amps. It is indeed an astonishing performance Quote
JohnS Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Prompted by a mention elsewhere Wayne Shorter; Schizophrenia. Blue Note(Liberty) Quote
optatio Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 ^ That looks like it would be good. It is. Chris Kelsey:"This is an incredible document and shouldn't be missed by any serious student of avant-garde piano." http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-ways-of-freedom-mw0000002398 Quote
paul secor Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 Ernie Henry: Last Chorus (Riverside Japan) Quote
soulpope Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 For whatever reason(s), I rarely come across Leo label LPs when I'm out there casually trolling for records. So particularly glad to find this one and Baltic Triangle, both mint, just recently. excellent recording..... Quote
