What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[paul secor]

As much a Ben Webster album as a Harry Edison album - and that's a good thing. (No offense meant toward Mr. Edison.)

This one passed me by at time of release (mid 70s) but enjoying it now. UK MCA.

Fine sounding OJC signed by the man himself

I have that also on LP, not on CD. Interesting the 1953 sides that have much darker colours than the early ones. In general, as the years went on, I started to begin to have difficulties listening to some very early Bud stuff, since I have difficulties listening to piano runs in the highest register. First I can´t hear the high notes very well starts to sound "thin".

As others I started to appreciate much more the later stuff which maybe has lost some virtuosity, but sounds really "deep", especially the way he played the chords on ballads. His "Embraceable You" here is a classic, But still he had all his virtuosity as his flashy runs on "Woodyn You" shows. This 1953 session together with the BN with Fats and Sonny or the 1953 is the greatest early Bud.

My copy has a different cover and a somewhat different track listing, but I couldn't find an image for mine. Some beautiful Roy Eldridge to be heard there.

I bought that as a new release while in High School. Purchased at Younkers in downtown Des Moines Iowa. Same place I got Africa/Brass.

Nice. . . .If you were listening to jazz in high school, you were hip to it before I was. I didn't discover jazz until I was in college.

Tommy Flanagan, Reggie Workman, Joe Chambers - The Super Jazz Trio (RCA Jazz Line, France)

Originally released in Japan on Baystate. I assume this is that label's response to Hank Jones' "Great Jazz Trio," who was recording for the Japanese East Wind label at the time.

Excellent music. Super, even.

Another Flanagan trio. This time with Mraz & Elvin.
