Larry Kart Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I heard Finola in Chicago in the late '60s when he was the cornetist in a fine band that Art Hodes led, with bassist Truck Parham and drummer Hilliard Brown. George was a soulful player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) Steve Lacy - Eronel (Horo) Willie Guy Rainey (Southland/Jazzology) Willie Guy Rainey lived in Rico, Georgia, a tiny community southwest of Atlanta. Until late in his life, he only played rural and small-town parties and dances, but he played fairly regularly in Atlanta for a few years after this album was recorded in 1978. At one gig, well into his 70s, he was apparently quite taken with my friend Janna, who would have been in her 20s at the time. She told me that he told her, "Honey, we would have pretty babies. I'd even marry you." She politely declined. Edited July 15, 2016 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Bud Freeman -------Superbud--------(77 records) Late Bud , some what underpowered given that he's a bit too recessed in the mix. English pianist Keith Ingham complete the band. Bud always has plenty of ideas but this is not amongst his greatest recordings. Having said that, there is no bad Bud.

kh1958 Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 The Montgomery Brothers and Five Others (World Pacific). This one does not appear to have been reissued on CD, despite the presence of Wes Montgomery; it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally, when the Penguin pans a Prestige jam session, I don't agree. This isn't one of those times. It's OK, but nothing big happens. I'm spinning this again and it's weird that they only list Oliver Nelson on tenor when it's obvious that he's playing alto on a couple of tunes.

Yes, all of the Montgomery (Brothers) World Pacific and Pacific Jazz material made it to CD eventually. In the U.S., they had new titles (Fingerpickin'; Far Wes; etc) and new covers. More recently, Fresh Sound put out a 2-CD set containing five albums (including some Mastersounds and Jon Hendricks material) on those labels, plus a rare track recorded for Columbia in 1955. http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/wes-montgomery/5110-the-montgomeryland-sessions-2-cd-set.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Lyle Ritz - 50th State Jazz (Verve mono). I really like Ritz's ukulele playing - it actually reminds me of a little Johnny Smith's guitar style. But there are some pretty corny tunes and arrangements to contend with here. Max Roach / Archie Shepp - Force (Uniteledis / Base). Separated from the Ritz by a couple of hours, lest Paul give me too much credit.

jeffcrom Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Old 10" LP time here at the Crompton house: Edmond Hall - Quartette with Teddy Wilson (Commodore) Louis Armstrong - New Orleans Days (Decca). I've had this for years, but I just put two and two together tonight and realized that this was Pops' first LP. Ken Colyer - Back to the Delta (London). Six tunes by Colyer's Jazzmen; three by his Skiffle Group. I've long enjoyed Colyer's personal take on traditional New Orleans jazz; the Jazzmen include Acker Bilk and Dis Disley. By the time he made this 1954 album, Colyer must have heard the 10" American Music LP This is Bunk Johnson Talking - in "Moose March" he reproduces a supposed Buddy Bolden lick that Bunk whistled to demonstrate Bolden's style. British skiffle amuses me no end. Maybe some of the Brits here can educate me - did people think that this bore any actual resemblance to any kind of American music, or was it just your own thing? Anyway, Alexis Korner is on board here, in an early recorded appearance. Edited July 16, 2016 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) I think the skiffle here was a sort of 'do your own thing' thing. Soap box and string to make a bass = low cost of entry and I guess when it started the WW2 rationing was only just being withdrawn. A bit of a craze - sort of the 'Pokemon Go' of its day. Now spinning - Miles Davis 'Agharta' (UK CBS 2LP). Again, my old copy benefitting from a cleaning machine brush up..

paul secor Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I can remember hearing "Rock Island Line" on the radio here in the U.S, when I was a kid. Even though I didn't know much about music back then (some might say that nothing has changed there ), I knew that he wasn't American. I can't remember if it was the sound of his voice or if it was mentioned that he was from the U.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Nice one from your Dad! I saw Mr Donegan twice: once with the Chris Barber band as a featured artist at the St George's Hall, Bradford c.1958? and in the sixties in a Manchester club where he was spotted in the audience and given a big hand by the performer, now largely forgotten organist, Alan Haven.

rdavenport Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 I found an Alan Haven LP a couple of weeks ago - liner notes by Spike Milligan! I read on the net that he married Miss World in 1965. He died in January, in Stockport I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose he turned up for that gig on a number 95 bus! But why have you posted that (admittedly very good) George Coleman album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
