JSngry Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 American Recording Society 10", Dean Dixon.. McCarthyism in full blow...and that wonderfully boxy pre-HiFi sound. Not an amazing peice of music, but there's more to experiencing a record like this than just the music, or can be.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Wild Bill with Floyd Smith and Chris Columbo (Epic 10") 1954(?). Nice, very nice. It's got the arrangement of "April In Paris" that Davis used to make the big band chart for Basie. Even without that, nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 No Jimmy Buffington collection complete without it! (plus, it's a excellent performance equally well recorded, briskly "American" in a good way) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I paid five bucks for a copy of this, one previously owned by one Melinda Lacy, who did NOT take care of her records. so...on the hunt for a cleaner copy, becuase the music is better than excellent. Apart from that (and the psychedlic-ish cover, which Melinda DID take good enough care of) is the fine-print notation that this was "an 8-channel Dolby recording mixed under the supervision of the conductor". Horenstein would have been about 70 at the time, and he was supervising mixing of 8 track session tapes...I've only been aware of him for a few years now, but wow, his fine attention to detail went beyond "just" interpreting the scores. When the scars of Melinda's carelessness recede on occasion, the recording itself sounds really, really good. But really, wtf? is up with that ending, did Mahler have one of those sneezes that never really goes away until, like 4-5 tries? Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 It takes so long... Just finished: and I'm thinking, hmmm....something nor really right about this...and so there's a review of it by Virgil Thomson where it is called "irresponsible musicmaking" Yes, THAT! https://academic.oup.com/mq/article-abstract/XXXIX/1/147/1080949?redirectedFrom=PDF So hey, fuck it, there's a Barbara Hannigan record of it with just piano accompaniment, and I need to check here out some more, so ok, I will, as soon as the CD gets here. The Esoteric record (recorded in Paris by Jerry Newman, btw) is one of those things where the "offness" of it makes the desire to hear the music a different way stronger. It's not like you hear it and say oh, that sucks, never want to hear THAT again. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Weird as hell to hear a Baroque mandolin concerto....so weird that it wasn't even listed on the cover, just in the liner notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Pretty damned nice performances of a pretty damned inconsequential set of pieces. Whatever happened to Vivian Rivkin (then Mrs. Dean Dixon)? There seems to be a story there? Rivkin was a student of Dixon's, something like that? She made a few records anddied at 55, that I can find. And a later packaging of this record omits Dixon's photo: She plays really well on this one too.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 early 70s starline double A side 45 b/w "why am i treated so bad?"- this should be better than the originals, these starlines bypass the pitfalls of 60s capitol mastering and usually top previous issues    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the best Shorty Big Band material on this one plus the bonus of the two Gellers (Herb, Lorraine, not Uri )Â in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
