I´m going along with you - and Mingus! But this is another "pearl":

THE FABULOUS PAUL BLEY QUINTET. AMERICA 30 AM 6120 [1971]

Of course ! I have forgotten to mention this one. I love it. It´s probably one of the few occasions where you here Ornette Coleman playing a Parker Tune, and Klactoveesedstene is not the easiest of them. And though the piano is underrecorded, I love those dark colours of "I Remember Harlem" and Ornettes Originals are great. I think, the best playing of Coleman is on "The Blessing", he plays beautiful stuff here. And "Free" was equally fascinating.

We were a small bunch of guys who were very much into that music on the edge from hardbop to avantgarde, Mingus´ music was part of it, and Ornette Coleman/Don Cherry/Paul Bley of course.

You all need to hear the Platinum SHM-CD of A Love Supreme with a flat transfer of the master tape. A thing of great beauty. 

Intrigued by this post, I spent a small fortune (for a CD, that is) and bought a copy.  It sounds awesome, so thank you for pointing me there.

Quite coincidentally, the next CD I played (another recent purchase: the 2017 Emanem reissue of Spontaneous Music Ensemble's "Karyobin") was also a revelation, soundwise. Although completely different (Karyobin is not a flat transfer, but a remix and remastering from the original tapes), both CD's put to shame 99 out of 100 CD reissues I ever heard.

There are a couple of Art Ensemble sessions for the America label that were reissued on Prestige.

Actually, "America" was the jazz label of the French Musidisc company (distributor of Fantasy/Prestige in France), so it would have been more like a two way traffic in the 1970's.

I remember now, AEC + some Shepp things as well. Coral Rock in particular.

John Gordon - Erotica Suite [Everland reissue]

Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Les Stances A Sophie [Nessa]

so happy to finally have this on vinyl. An important album in my journey to Jazz, hearing 'Theme De Yoyo' over a club sound system in the early 80s and having to ask the DJ what it was

Congratulations. But the hunt goes on for an affordable copy of the Pathé original .

Discogs lists an incredible total of 10 (ten!) pressing variations of the Nessa. I wonder if this was such a big seller.

correct -- Pierre Berjot had his hands in a number of pots.

I continue with my very personal LP spinning, the motto is "40 years of uninterrupted love for jazz". In 1978 I started seriously to collect records and now I´m spinning the records I bought and listened to and loved during that year.

At the end of september 78 I bought the Wes Montgomery-Wynton Kelly "Smokin at the Half Note", and that´s on the turntable right now. I know there have been reissues with further unreleased material, but this is the core and I love it the way I purchased it then.....

Art Ensemble Of Chicago With Fontella Bass - s/t [America]

[jeffcrom]

   

I switched the turntable over to play vinyl rather than 78s today, but apparently decided that I still wanted to get up and change the record every three minutes. Pop/jazz vocal 45s plus a couple of Blue Notes:

Tony Bennett - It's So Peaceful in the Country / Being True to One Another (Columbia). This "It's So Peaceful" is one of my favorite versions of that Alec Wilder song.
Tony Bennett - While We're Young / Cold, Cold Heart (Columbia)

Helen Merrill - You Don't Know Me / I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (Atco)

Louis Armstrong - A Kiss to Build a Dream On / I Get Ideas (Decca)
Louis Armstrong - Chloe / Listen to the Mocking Bird (Decca)
Louis Armstrong und Gabrielle- Onkel Satchmo's Lullaby / It's All In the Game (German Polydor). An oddity I found in Europe - side one is a duet with a German child star of the time (1959). Louis makes it listenable, as he does "Mocking Bird" above.

Freddie Roach - Brown Sugar / Next Time You See Me (BN). Joe Henderson on a 45 is kind of cool, maybe.

Lee Morgan - Midnight Cowboy / Popi (BN). I only play this record when enough time has passed that I don't remember how bad it is.

[JSngry]

Do you notice the jukebox mastering on the 45s? I love it when that happens.

Blues from La. to L.A. (P-Vine)

[jeffcrom]

   

Steve Lacy - Catch (Horo). Duo with Kent Carter.

Hlrace Parlan - On the Spur of the Moment (BN/Music Matters reissue)

George Lewis and His New Orleans All Stars (Catalyst). Recorded in a Tokyo during Lewis' last (1964) of three Japanese tours. A really nice band, with trumpeter Jack Willis and trombonist Louis Nelson completing the front line. Willis was a really interesting player. He played with Ray Charles for awhile, and was something of a modernist. I hear Bobby Hackett, Miles Davis, and Clifford Brown in his playing. At the same time, he fits in well here. He was Lewis' regular trumpet player during this period, and he sounds like he loves playing this music. George Lewis and Louis Nelson could only do what they did (if that makes sense), while Willis was part of a later New Orleans generation, maturing in the 1940s and 1950s, that could play anything - traditional jazz, bebop, R & B. But when they played the older music, they played with the authority of musicians who grew up hearing that style as part of their daily soundscape.

Al Haig Plays the Music of Jerome Kern

Ray Charles - The Genius Sings the Blues (Atlantic mono). This wonderful compilation of hits and obscurities was issued in 1961 from 1952-58 recordings. The piano/vocal solo "Someday Baby" was first released here; it's the only surviving track from a solo, no-band session made in 1953.
