What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[JSngry]

It's ok, fun enough. It was one of Oliver Nelson's last projects, not one of his major efforts by any means...

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I saw one going 'cheep cheep' in a remainders shop in London once and thought, '$6,000,000 man'? Come off it Groove! Well, If I see another I may get it. After all, I've got this, which I just finished ripping/

Star wars (1977 Versatile)

Last, before I turn off the turntable for the evening,

 

Red Holloway - Hittin' the road again.

This one never fails to get a play at least once a year or sometimes more often.

The $6,000,000 Man was a hit TV show that Oliver Nelson composed the theme for, that's what that was all about.

Al Grey & Jimmy Forrest - OD - with Don Patterson, Peter Leitch & Charlie Rice

Just ripping this to my computer. One of the greatest Forrest recordings IMO.

I have a copy of that one very nicely signed by Al Grey - and also Jimmy Forrest I think. It was obviously sold at one of their UK gigs. Will have to dig it out.

My copy of 'Shades of Grey' is signed by him.

Still rippin'.

Now doing Groove Holmes - X77 (PJ, c1970)

With Thornel Schwartz, Paul Humphrey and someone called Bob West on electric bass, presumably because the X77 didn't have bass pedals - but would have been more easily transported. It's definitely less groovy and the organ doesn't sound any too good, but...

Haven't played THIS one since 2012. Actually, it's getting better than I remembered it  Must be lowering my standards.

Bob West played on several West Coast dates, including Clare Fischer's "Extensions."

I never got that one. Thought 5 of his was enough.

Just been ripping Al Grey's "Struttin' & shoutin'' (Columbia, 1976)

I don't think too much of Columbia, but this is a very nice one, with Waymon Reed!!! and Danny Moore, who probably is the trumpet player you can hear, Jimmy Forrest (YAY!) Cecil Payne, Ray Bryant, Milt Hinto and, again, Bobby Durham.

Struttin' & Shoutin' is a TERRIFIC record.

I doubt it - I got 'First time out', 'Surging ahead' (my favourite), 'Thesaurus', 'Easy living' and 'Great white hope'.

Must get round to ripping them some time, or they'll never get played again.

"Thesaurus" is the only one of those you've mentioned that's at all comparable, and "Extensions," while different, is arguably superior -- certainly in execution. And though it does lack Warne Marsh, Jerry Coker is an interesting substitute.

Sorry, Larry, but I don't care about quality; I care about likeableness. You KNOW I have a load of crappy records in my collection that I love
