What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

ah right, yes I have some excellent Herwin collections as well. Notable as well for the font, which spells something else when cross-eyed.

Ha - Lloyd N. Ferguson is resting easy now that it went to a good home.

My copy is a pretty hot-sounding (maybe too hot?) Toshiba.

its amazing dog- he was the 1st black chemist in america.  he started the first doctoral program in chemistry at a h.b.c.u, howard.  he got a gugenhiem and went to labs in denmark and switzerland, and was chair at cal state northridge, in the 70s and 80s.  it really goes to show u the average joe wasnt buying kenny dorham blue notes.  this guy was obviously a total genius, i wonder if he jammed k.d. in the lab?

the UA kenny dorham afro cuban is way better than expected.  i was so right in holding off for this one.

 

i thought the music matters was the wrong play for this session, i thought the UA would have more "charm" to it.  

 

As a bonus, my copy was owned by a famous back scientist! PHD in chemistry, Dr. Lloyd N. Ferguson- proud to have his copy!

You know it.

Found an original 1960's Verve mono pressing in near mint condition at a Frankfurt second hand vinyl shop that also bought some 250 LPs that I wanted to get rid of.

Elek Bacsik -----Bird and Dizzy----( Flying Dutchman)

not sure about this in the same way that Supersax doesn't float my boat. Also in common with Supersax Warne Marsh is heard on two tracks. Here though he solos and isn't simply lost in the arrangements.

Original green vinyl 10 inch LP - sounds great, wider dynamics than the CD transfer. Hell yeah!

Have you heard the two volumes of Live in 75: The Japanese Tour by Supersax? These are the only two Supersax albums I've felt compelled to keep on my shelves. I remember posting here years ago that I found myself staring dumbfounded at one of my stereo speakers during one of the Warne Marsh solos.
