What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Side four of the Blue Note Art Pepper two-fer. Right now listening to "Bewitched"

The J.J. Johnson Quintet 'Dial J.J. 5' (Columbia)

the great JJ Quintet with Bobby Jaspar, Tommy Flanagan, Wilbur Little and Elvin Jones!

These Columbia J.Js are superb. Thank god for Mosaic, because they have sat in Columbia's vault forever just collecting dust.

Grant Green "Grantstand" with Yusef Lateef, Jack McDuff and Al Harewood. Mine is a NY mono copy that is in bad shape, but even with the noise the sound is just so awesome on these old records.

Blue Mitchell: Down With It! Sweeeeet sounding Liberty

Jackie McLean: Right Now! For you collector nerds, I'm fairly certain, this may have NY label, but was held back and first pressed during Liberty era, so you will look in vein for the 'ear'. Beautiful LP. This music always 'sends me' far away.

Anthony Williams: Spring Great Lp and it happens to be FOR SALE.

Lazy tonight so I'm just going down the line of my BN's.

Spring is cool, but I already got it. Would advise others to purchase!

Just put on "The Cat" -- Jimmy Smith with a big, loud band behind him. Great for the neighbors at midnight...

Helmut "Joe" Sachse - Solo (Amiga)

Very nice album, which I totally understood after seeing Sachse playing this live.

Pirchner-Pepl Jazz-Zwio: Gegenwind (Mood, 1979)

Werner Pirchner vibes, marimba & whistling

Harry Pepl ovation guitar

Werner Pirchner was one of the most amazing musicians emerging from the Austrain scene in the 20th century .....

Italian LP (No 82) of Lucky Thompson's last session, sadly it omits one track Elijah ?

I have that Italian LP - they had that other Groove Merchant LP as well. The missing track "Aliyah" is included on the Beast Retro 12052 CD reissue (I Offer You). This CD sounds excellent - I bought it a few weeks ago from CD Connection for $ 9.39.

Lucky's last session are very nice - I still have to get the three live cuts.

Lee Morgan- "Candy"- King pressing. 20 year old Lee Morgan as lone horn, with Sonny Clark on piano. A gorgeous rendition of "Since I Fell For You."

Duke Pearson- "The Right Touch"- Liberty pressing- a horn heavy lineup- Freddie Hubbard (tp), Garnett Brown (tb- hey does anyone know more about Garnett?), James Spaulding on alto, Jerry Dodgion on alto and flute, and Stanley Turrentine on tenor. Pearson is an ever-inventive arranger.

CLARK TERRY

Duke with a Difference

OJCCD-229-2 (Riverside 1108) ~ $11.98

(CASS ~ OJC-229-4 ~ $7.98) (LP ~ OJC-229 ~ $9.98)

Clark Terry's series of late-Fifties Riverside albums covered a very wide range (on one he shared honors with a tuba player; another featured Thelonious Monk), but Duke with a Difference may have been the most unusual. On this occasion he gathered together a number of major artists--notably including Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, and Billy Strayhorn--who had been his colleagues for years in the Ellington orchestra, and enabled them to fulfill a mutual fantasy by performing a repertoire of some of the Duke's distinguished standards (among them "Mood Indigo," "Take the 'A' Train," and "C Jam Blues") in a deliberately non-Ellington vein.

C-Jam Blues, In a Sentimental Mood, Cotton Tail, Just Squeeze Me (But Don't Tease Me), Mood Indigo, Take the "A" Train, In a Mellow Tone, Come Sunday

with Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, Britt Woodman, Quentin Jackson, Billy Strayhorn, Tyree Glenn, Jimmy Woode, Sam Woodyard

Errol Garner -Soliloquy ( 6 eye -if that's important)

- it's a 1957 solo session with 6 great tracks, I'm not at all familiar with Garner but this album strikes me as very strong, not sure if it's been out on CD. He sounds more modern and less gushingly romantic here than I expected.

Liners state that 16 tracks were recorded at the session in Feb 1957, so i guess some must have been available on other LPs.

Anita O'Day & The Three Sounds.

[BruceH]

That double-album reprint that includes the Ellington/Coltrane album and the one he did with Coleman Hawkins. Great music, lousy cover.

[brownie]

Jackie McLean with the Great Jazz Trio 'New Wine In Old Bottles' (EastWind).

The Great Jazz Trio is Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

[wolff]

The Great Jazz Trio is Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

I played this the other night. I have the direct to disc(EW 10005). It's one of the few audiphile records from the seventies I've kept. I think it's pretty lame musically(IMO), but if you never got to hear Tony Williams live and close-up this is the ticket. I have 2 others in the DtoD EW series and while the sound is amazing the music does not do much for me.
