What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[HutchFan]

Gato Barbieri - Apasionado (Doctor Jazz, 1983)

This isn't one of Gato's best LPs -- but I still dig it.

Pure Pleasure reissue

Thanks for explaining it all.  I'm almost tempted just for the Abdul-Malik track alone

That track is wonderful, but in addition, Kenny Dorham and Curtis Fuller are also in top form in their features.

Thanks again.  I've found a UK copy of the same edition as yours, I'll probably order that one

Now LP.3 'Back To The Tracks', having been through 'True Blue' LP.2.  So far the seller's grade of NM is standing up, fingers crossed that continues.

This again, it took me a while to afford a copy but I'm very pleased to own this LP.

Irakere - El Coco (Milestone/JVC, 1982)

Claudio Roditi - Slow Fire (Milestone, 1989)

Got a sudden yen for some Dizzy in a big band context. 

So I went to the shelves and pulled:

PJ-93 (mono)

 

Up next:

LS 86022 (stereo)

Coincidentally, both LPs were released in 1965.

And both records are wonderful, IMO.

That ‘New Continent’ is underrated - and in great sound. My Japanese King reissue came from the esteemed Hiroshi.

Bought that one when it came out on MPS BASF in the UK. Mid-70s, some years after the recording. Fine concert !

Next up:

Duke Ellington - Togo Brava Suite (United Artists, 1972)
I love this record.  The end may have been near, but -- on this particular day -- Duke and his band were still FLYING.
