What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Shankar Jaikishan - Raga Jazz Style [Outernational reissue]

Ideal listening to accompany the cricket.

Nicely produced reissue. I don't how official it is, Outernational's website claims it's from master tapes but that's easy enough to state. They've just reissued a Nimbus West which looks very interesting

So far tonight, two excellent piano trios (with some organ on the second), and a bunch of vibists:
Dodo Marmarosa - Dodo's Back (Argo mono)
 

I don't have the original, but I have the music on a 2 LP set along with the Bill Hardman quartet date. Sounded good the last time I listened.

Interesting - one I didn’t know about, put out by EMI India originally I guess. Will investigate..

I would have thought a better accompaniment to the cricket today was ‘Theme From Jaws’.

Noah Preminger - Some Other Time (Newvelle Records). A vinyl-only release that I was able to pick up from the artist at one of his shows. Very nice date. Mellow as heck, which i do appreciate on appropriate occasions. Beautiful pressing - dead quiet clear vinyl.

EDIT:  I went to put the record away and I notice the sleeve is huge. I go to put it onto the record shelves and WTF - it's about 3/4's of an inch taller than normal! That is weird.

Now playing:

Counts Basie Presents Eddie Davis Trio + Joe Newman (Roulette). R-52007 (mono) white label promo. This band cooks but Shirley Scott's organ has some kind of reverb on her feed into the mix that makes it sound like she's playing in a gym. Not her best sound. I have better by all involved. This is not one I'll be playing all that often.

Herb Ellis - Ellis In Wonderland (Verve). What a nice record. I am really digging this one. Swingers mixed with nice ballads.Foot tapping music.

One of the more offbeat Herbie releases.. actually a Jonathan Klein project. Trunk LP.

Hints of ‘Speak Like A Child’, interestingly.

Often wondered about that one, such an interesting line up. I like the sound of those hints

[sidewinder]

I like it !  Herbie produces some lovely lyrical solos and with that lineup, how can you go wrong.

Apparently it was an ad-hoc session at Union scale, with Herbie getting twice scale  as ‘musical director’. The arrangements were by teenager Jonathan Klein, who plays french horn and baritone sax (!) on the session. Just another routine session for Herbie and co but a quiet gem nevertheless. Both Ron Carter and Herbie have expressed very positive recollections over it. Jonathan Klein apparently hates it.

The original US release was only sold in synogogues and sold just a couple of hundred copies apparently. Trunk’s LP version was said to be 500 but I’m not sure if that many were actually sold.

A ‘curate’s egg’ (or should I say, Rabbi’s egg) - but an enjoyable and fascinating one. The Trunk LP is a needle drop from one of the rare originals but is excellently done. The master tapes are AWOL.

John Coltrane - Ascension [HMV UK, mono]

Replacement for my slightly tired Jasmine pressing

I can still remember hearing this for the first time in the first years of my Jazz listening and being scared witless  

Needless to say a different reaction today although how the neighbours are reacting could be similar

Yes. on EMI India. It's on spotify if you want to sample.  I think it's a great album, less Indo-Jazz fusion, a la Mayer etc, than Indian musicians (some of whom are Jazz players) playing Jazz, to my ears at least

[sidewinder]

Thanks, I’ll check it on Spotify.

 

 

NY USA DG mono version. Still the fave (and not interested in the 122 bit super nano bit mapped gold plated CD) .

Love the cover, and the music too, although the cover reveals its charms significantly more immediately. But post-Apple MJQ has more differences from pre-Apple MJQ than might be apparent from a non-invested listening. If nothing else, the new recording technology allowed Percy ?Heath to prominate in the mix, and that sorta changes everything if you want it to.
