soulpope Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 Jaki Byard Quartet / Live! Vol.1Oh HELL yeah! agreed .... Quote
sidewinder Posted October 31, 2015 Report Posted October 31, 2015 I have a SABA pressing of that Jaki Byard Vol 1 - very nice. Picked up from a store in Stuttgart at reasonable cost as well (shame that the store is no longer physically 'there'). Ovary Lodge (RCA)Excellent record - I don't think it's ever made it to CD. I bought it around '73 after hearing Tippett on the King Crimson records and seeing Robert Fripp's name on the credits. Totally confounded me but over time it worked its magic. A CD would be nice - a lot of the record is very quiet, my vinyl copy very noisy! Might be a victim of the 72/73 oil crisis. There was a bit of deterioration in the quality of vinyl used on LPs of that era, which seems to be an issue with UK RCAs in my experience. Quote

Thinking about it I think I bought it around Easter '74 which was about 8 months after the Yom Kippur War...my first 6 months at university had that whole crisis as a backdrop. I certainly recall vinyl getting thinner and more dodgy. That's when I learnt to hate it!!!! Quote

Funnily enough though, the quality of the UK CBS pressings seemed to go up. My Miles twofers of that period still sound superb. Today's findsArt Farmer 'To Duke With Love' (French East Wind). Blows away my old Inner City copy from back in the day.Humphrey Lyttleton 'Blues In The Night' (UK Columbia, mono). Another Lansdowne Series LP, immaculate condition. Quote
kh1958 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Gene Ammons, Twistin' The Jug (Prestige mono), and Arnett Cobb, Smooth Sailing (Status mono). Quote
kh1958 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Posted November 1, 2015 Jaki Byard, Out Front (Prestige), Gene Ammons, Brother Jug! (Prestige), and The Pee Wee Russell Memorial Album (Prestige) Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Steve Lacy - Eronel (Horo). Solo Monk compositions. Jimmy Deuchar - Pub Crawling (Contemporary). I listened to this once when I found it about a year ago, then forgot about it. That won't happen again - excellent writing and playing from Mr. Deuchar and an all-star British cast. Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Wade Walton - Shake 'Em on Down (Prestige Bluesville mono). An excellent album by the Clarksdale, Mississippi bluesman, recorded at Van Gelder studio in 1962. Mr. Walton autographed my copy at his barber shop in Clarksdale about 20 years ago. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 That Lacy "Eronel" LP is really nice. Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 2, 2015 Report Posted November 2, 2015 Pete Brown/Jonah Jones - Jazz Kaleidoscope (Bethlehem). The Pete Brown session on side one is just delicious. It was originally a 10" LP; Joe Wilder is on trumpet. Charlie Poole with the Highlanders - The Complete Paramount & Brunswick Recordings, 1929 (Tompkins Square) Quote

jeffcrom Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Martial Solal Trio (French Columbia/EMI). A wonderful album, featuring bilingual puns ("Jazz Frit") and a hilarious "Four Brothers" played on harpsichord. Quote
jeffcrom Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Martial Solal - Son 66 (French Columbia/EMI). I enjoyed that last one so much that I went for a second helping. Quote

Homefromtheforest Posted November 3, 2015 Report Posted November 3, 2015 Dexter Gordon "one flight up" (blue note, stereo NY ear) Gunter Hampel & Jeanne Lee "s/t" (Wergo, Germany) Two extremely well recorded records! Amazing sound (and great music too of course) Quote
mjazzg Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Love that Hampel/Lee.....as I do most of their collaborations. Not yet heard a poor one playing now Dave Pike - It's Time For Dave Pike [Prestige, Mono] just picked up in a local shop (along with Terje Rypdal - Descendre and Richard Davis - Harvest. Contrasting selection to say the least) Quote
mjazzg Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Richard Davis - Harvest [Muse] interesting focus on his arco playing throughout this and then Terje Rypdal - Descendre [ECM] I've never warmed much to Rypdal but this is excellent Quote

Not yet heard a poor one me too... while the Wergo is well-recorded, my feeling is that the first pressings of those Wergo-Jazz titles aren't that hot. The only one I have that sounds clear as day is the Favre. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 Hmm..mines a first pressing and it sounds totally amazing... Rypdal's "descendre" is one of my favorites and I love Rypdal's records. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted November 4, 2015 Report Posted November 4, 2015 yeah, I have clean firsts of the Hampel, Schoof and Breuker (although that's technically a reissue of the Relax title) and they're all a bit noisy. Quote
