For a while, I had that one as well, because it has an alternative version of one tune. At some point it just seemed silly to keep both. But yeah, I like this album a lot.

It's right up there, I think. Musically and sonically excellent, as well, although there are one or two live solo records I like as well or better.

 The first Sonny Rollins album I listened to (probably wasn't the best place to start for someone new to the music, but it worked out) and still a favorite. My copy's a mono. It was long enough ago that I didn't have a stereo player.

I assume you have this (Sonny Rollins Complete Live at the Village Gate)? https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Live-Village-Gate-1962/dp/B00W4L0MWO/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1502556099&sr=1-1&keywords=sonny+rollins+village+gate

Jimmy Smith at the Organ, Volume 2 (Dark blue label, stereo issue).

Frank Ricotti Quartet - Our Point Of View [CBS/Realm]

pleased to finally pick up a NM copy at an affordable price. Does anyone (Sidewinder?) know what the rather imposing cover image is of?

[clifford_thornton]

Ah -- still looking for a vinyl copy of that one!

Now:

Jazz Contemporaries -- Reasons In Tonality -- (Strata-East, US)

I have that LP but other than admiring the fine ancient tree at the back I've never really wondered what was going on in the picture. Hooded effigy hanging from an ancient tree - in English folklore, traditionally associated with rural hangings of highwaymen or bandits. That's my interpretation anyway..

Yeah - I did pick that up against my better judgement. I usually don't buy recordings that aren't authorized by the musician involved - especially if they're still living. I made an exception in this case, and I feel a little guilty when I listen to it.

Sounds plausible enough for me on a Sunday morning...lovely album even if the cover's macabre

[mikeweil]

Sunday morning with Ray Bryant and a fine tasting capuccino - what more can you ask for?

This includes Bryant's own first recording of his tune "Cubano Chant" - Cal Tjader's was done a few months earlier, and it had been Tjader who suggested the title and the use of a Cuban rhythm. Before that it had been a gospel tinged tune, and, ironically, Bryant recorded it with this feeling, but only later. Candido sometimes shifts the tumbao during the theme sections ..... not enough rehearsal time?

Lots of folklore influences on those old CBS Realm covers. I guess that whole thing was 'in the air' at the time (in fact it was - I remember it). Other examples I cam think of are the Ray Russell 'Dragon Hill' and 'Rights and Rituals'.

Round my part of the country I can think of at least a couple of spots which to this day are named after old highwayman hanging spots. Prominent spots as a lesson to the locals and travellers.

More Ray Bryant, Japanese LP reissue of the Signature LP (unlike the CD reissue done later it does not add the single of "Liitle Susie").

I'll have to look closer at my Dragon Hill (the only other i have) No Hangman's Hill around here unless Ally Pally has a pre-BBC history of summary justice

Fresh Sound LP reissue.

From a Vanguard twofer LP reissue. 

This trio was as much a Ray Bryant Trio as it was a Jo Jones Trio.

Now the larger group from the Vanguard twofer;

These recordings sound so good it's a shame they never were reissued in reasonable fashion.

I guess I'll treasure my UK original Vanguard vinyl (PPL 11002), then.

It's a very nice one indeed.

I agree, except this set is too good for scruples.
