Roswell Rudd: Everywhere

I've head this record for 50 years and I heard things listening to it today that I hadn't heard before. That's either a sign of classic music or some poor listening on my part in the past.

It's a classic. One of the first avant-garde jazz records I bought, and still one of the best I've heard.

Lee Morgan: Search for the New Land

[sgcim]

I found a copy of Winners Circle for $3 at Planet 9 in Richmond VA. It has some great playing by Trane, Donald Byrd, Rolf Kuhn, Kenny Burrell, Eddie Costa, Oscar Pettiford,, Philly Jo, Frank Rehak and Gene Quill.

Supposedly, a trio recording of 'Taking a Chance on Love' featuring Costa, Pettiford and one of the two drummers on the session, Ed Thigpen or Philly Jo, came out of this session.

It's available on Pettiford's "Discoveries", but that's a hard one to find.

I also picked up Philadelphia legend's Joe Sgro LP, "A Guitar and a Girl", which features a picture of a nude woman with a classical guitar covering her privates on the cover.

She is looking straight at me, promising me many pleasures of the flesh, yet they have failed to materialize yet...

Sgro, a devout Jehovah's Witness, plays with only vibes, bass and drums. He plays a few standards, and then some of his semi-classical arrangements of things he calls 'Rachmaninoff and You', Tchaikovsky After Hours', Ravel After Hours, Tcaikovsky Sits In, and The Lady Likes Chopin.

He plays solely in what guitarists call 'chord melody' style without any single string improvisation, with the vibes doubling the melody in octaves; a variant of the 'Shearing Style', as if to say, "We don't need no steenking piano".

On Harlem Nocturne, the last number, he finally lets loose with some single string improvisation, and sound quite capable.

Another $3 special.

During the week-end:

 

 

In the Bechet gatefold, I found dozen of typewritten sheets for radio programs from a well-known  journalist and broadcaster. Very instructive and well-written. Can you guess who he is? I am lucky to have a tiny chunk of his former collection now.

 

 

A beautiful record this morning: Montrose-Jolly Quartet: "Better Late Than Never".
