sidewinder Posted July 24, 2018 Report Posted July 24, 2018 Always good to see the Prestige 24000 series twofers. They were great, still have loads of them (but not that one). Quote

spinlps Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 Miles Davis - Ascenseur Pour L'echafaud 3LP 10 inch 2018 reissue. Hype sticker states it was mastered from the original analog tapes and cut at Abbey Road... and its sounds glorious. Quote
HutchFan Posted July 25, 2018 Report Posted July 25, 2018 Dick Wellstood - From Ragtime On (Chiaroscuro) This is perilously thin vinyl -- it reminds me of the floppy RCA Dynaflex LPs from around the same time -- so the sound is less than ideal. Regardless of sonics, Wellstood plays beautifully, with great sensitivity. No surprise there. I wonder: Why hasn't Chiaroscuro ever reissued this music in digital format? Most of their back-catalog has been made available -- but not this. Oh well. I guess it's just another example of life's myriad little injustices. Quote

sidewinder Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 Kenny Graham, Don Rendell etc. ‘Tenorama’ (Nixa DG mono) Quote
BillF Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 2 hours ago, sidewinder said: Kenny Graham, Don Rendell etc. ‘Tenorama’ (Nixa DG mono) Of those I saw Rendell and Skidmore, latter with Humphrey Lyttelton. Nice to think I saw the Skidmores, father and son - same for the Traceys, come to think of it. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 28, 2018 Report Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) Also caught Don Rendell a few times (the last time was at Ian Carr’s tribute concert) as well as both Traceys in various Stan Tracey groups on quite a few occasions. I’ve also got the Stan Tracey bio by Clark on order. Have seen Alan Skidmore a few times too but I don’t think I ever saw his Dad. Kenny Graham way before my time but I can remember seeing performances by Humph’s group where he announced a Kenny Graham arrangement. That group had Kathy Stobart, a superb and very under-rated tenorist (not unlike the present day Karen Sharp in style). Edited July 28, 2018 by sidewinder Quote

That group had Kathy Stobart, a superb and very under-rated tenorist (not unlike the present day Karen Sharp in style). Interesting to hear about the Stan Tracey biog. A few years ago, not long after the death of Stan, I spoke to Clark about his Dad, telling him I was currently reading autobiogs by Peter King and Vic Ash which mentioned him. As if as an afterthought, Clark ran after me to say I'd have a new biog to read, as he would be writing one about Stan. Having heard nothing of this for a few years, I assumed that the idea had been forgotten, but apparently not. Yes, I shall be reading it. Quote
