What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[JSngry]

Good listening, plenty music to listen to.

MICHAEL NAURA (1934, August 19 – 2017, February 13)

R.I.P.

MICHAEL NAURA QUINTET: EUROPEAN JAZZ SOUNDS. BRUNSWICK 267 912 STEREO [1963]

[clifford_thornton]

ah, too bad.

[jeffcrom]

Borbetomagus / Shaking Ray Levis (Agaric 10").This also was issued as a picture disc; that's what I'm listening to. These pieces are well-shaped noise improvisations.

Dennis Palmer of the Shaking Ray Levis died four years ago tonight, and I wanted to listen to something to remember and honor him. He also painted the cover art. RIP, Dennis.

Got around to giving this one a spin at last

vinyl, not cd

The Byron Allen Trio (ESP)

[clifford_thornton]

Lovely. Too bad the second LP from the 1980s didn't really hold up, though it is a curious document. Would love to have been a fly on the wall for his stand in Don Cherry's group.

Cannonball Live In New York - 1962 with Yusef Lateef and Joe Zawinul (plus Nat, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes) - just fabulous. This is newly repressed vinyl courtesy of Universal's Back To Black series and includes a digital download voucher. But who needs that when there's the vinyl? The music fairly punches through my speakers.

Charlie Parker - Bird at St. Nick's - (Jazz Workshop, orig)

[tatifan]

Recently I purchased the lp of Horace Parlan's Up & Down (http://www.elemental-music.com/erlp1036-horace-parlan-up-down-indd/), and discovered a mastering error.  The opening track on Side 2 (The Other Part of Town) is missing the very start of the track (one pickup note, but still important!).  This is NOT missing on several versions of the record (part of the Mosaic records Horace Parlan collection, and the Japanese TOCJ cd series).  The same error DOES seem to be on the RVG cd from 2009 (at least on Tidal streaming). Has anyone got the original pressing of this?  I'm curious whether the error crept in later.   

 

Any opinions on this Elemental series of Blue Note LP reissues?  My local Half Price Books has a number of them.  They sound pretty good, if not to "Music Matters" quality, certainly.  However, this error makes me wonder what their sources might be (digital files??), since it's the same problem as on the RVG.

nice choices.

Alonzo Levister - Manhattan Monodrama (Debut). I found this record in a junk shop in Savannah around 20 years ago. I always thought it was interesting, but tonight it seems more than that - really excellent, well-crafted music. "Third Stream," maybe, and that implies "pretentious" to some folks, but there's none of that here - the music is natural-sounding, personal, and expressive.

Debut Records as in Mingus' Debut label?

[sidewinder]

Yep, that one came out on the Mingus/Roach Debut label. Nice one !
