Lots of Peacock gospel LPs still floating around out there down your way, Jim?

[JSngry]

Not a lot, no. But I always check the "Religious" section in whatever used store I am in, and carpe diem when something turns up, Not jsut Peacock, but anything that looks good (or is known to be!).

One exception, though - recently found a Sensational Violinaires Checker side, which I would have liked to have been all over. But the price was $14.99. and I was already maxed out for the visit. So, maybe if it's there next month...

It was this one:

The Fantastic Violinaires.  Never heard of them, but I love the name.

[JSngry]

Very much worth knowing The Fantastic Violinaires!

Produced by Gene Barge!!!!

[HutchFan]

Thanks Jim.  Will give those a listen.

Right now, I'm listening to Lucky Thompson.  Specifically the trio sides he made with Oscar Pettiford and Skeeter Best, as heard on this set:

My UK pressing, sounding as good as the day it was bought back in ‘74. In fact way better, thanks to the deck.

Great 2LP set from back in the day (Esmond Edwards era at Impulse I think).

Two excellent LPs, sidewinder!

im listening to it on perfect cd, but before that i had the more commonly found pausa lp.  Ive done a MAJOR fusion purge--- approx 35-40 lps i got rid of- hey theres a LOT of fusion, and you really dont need it all.......down to only the reallll good stuff.... ritenour goes into this earl klugh type thing on this, then funks out electric.

Now that's an outfit I remember. Mr Le Sage always looked very cool with his little pointed beard.

[JSngry]

Maybe it's the tree blocking one of the speakers, but I swear there's a bass clarinet on here...weird...

Yep - I remember seeing him as part of the ‘Bebop Preservation Society’ with Hank Shaw and - I think - Peter King.

I think in my day his usual partners were Ronnie Ross and Alan Ganley or Tony Kinsey.

[sidewinder]

Racking my brains on the rest of the lineup - Martin Drew on drums and Spike Heatley on bass I think. It was at Ronnies.

The times I'm speaking of were around 1960 - in Leeds. A lot of London bands visited. Tony Kinsey was a frequent visitor. It's only recently that I found out he'd gone to the States with Ronnie Ball but, unlike Ronnie, failed to make it and returned. He and Ganley were very accomplished drummers. Joe Harriott is another sideman who comes to mind. I remember talking with him both in Leeds and Manchester.
