Great music but it’s marred by incorrect track listing and erroneous personnel Information.

Agreed .... and although excellent music still I was left with the impression that based on the musicians involved more concise results would have been achievable ....

Harold Land/ Blue Mitchell-----------Mapenzi------------(Concord)

 

 

I've not played this in a while and I'm impressed all over again. Besides the co-leaders Kirk Lightsey is pretty phenomenal on the piano but then again Albert Tootie propels things along more than nicely. Excellent date (1977 release)

[kh1958]

Bob Brookmeyer Quartet, The Blues Hot and Cool (Verve)

Jazz in Transition (Transition)

[tomatamot]

Tony Scott - Manteca ( Sonet, SPL 2548 )

Groovy Swedish 1973 recording.

[Clunky]

Dr Feelgood ————-Malpractice———(Grand)

 

wonderful pub-rock by Canvey Islands best including at this point ( 1975) the legend that is Wilko Johnson.

yeah, that is a good album -- had a copy at one point that was a little bit damaged, and would like to find a nicer one someday.

Terrific album

This thread really is turning into Memory Lane. Firstly it was Echo & The Bunnymen, then The Ramones and now even further back, the mighty Feelgood. "Stupidity" was the soundtrack to many a teenage evening. I just looked it up and it reached No.1 in the UK album charts!

Lars Gullin -------Portrait of my pals--------(EMI Sweden)

 

First LP from the box set above. This release doesn't have the four bonus tracks from these sessions which appeared on the 2002 CD.

Today's two somewhat contrasting purchases. Both very listenable on first acquaintance

Klaus Doldinger - Dig Doldinger [Phillips]

Charles Tyler - Eastern Man Alone [ESP]

Johnny Hodges - Mess Of Blues (Verve). This could've been called "Mess Of Creed Taylor Production" since he somehow made this small band sound like they're playing an airplane hanger and Wild Bill Davis' organ is way too far to the front of the mix. Very jarring at times. The worst thing is that someone appears to have played the last track of Side 1, "Little John, Little John" with a scalpel that amazingly plays through without a skip. I'd give this 3.5 stars for Hodges, 1 star for Davis and 0 stars for sound. Luckily, it was very cheap.

That’s good to know. I’ve picked a few of these Hodges plus organ albums but this sounds like one to avoid.

Now playing

Wonderful date recorded for Pacific. Sound juicy Teddy Edwards here.
