paul secor Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Put the New Art Jazz Ensemble's Seeking LP on the box this afternoon. First listen in about 20 years - fine, fine music. I have to start listening to old records more often. Quote
patricia Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) Earlier: Dixieland Comes To Carnegie Hall - Stan Rubin and his Tigertown Five [a college band from U of P] - 10" LP recorded live November 27, 1954. Enthusiastic audience, cheering, shouting etc. Fun. Stan Rubin - clarinet Win Morgan - drums John Dengler - clarinet John Eaton - piano Eddie White - bass Bill Spilka - trombone And now: Muggsy Spanier and his Dixieland Band - another 10" LP, but on the EmArcy label. My favourite track on this collection is the very first one on Side A, "Lazy piano man," a slow, bluesey beauty. Edited July 19, 2007 by patricia Quote

patricia Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 The first record I ever had, given to me with a little portable record-player was an "8 Top Hits" one. Those of you who remember those records know that they weren't compilations of the original performances, but covers by musicians and singers quite often not credited on the cover. But, this one was done by Don Raleigh and his Orchestra with Jimmy Perry and Les Young doing the vocals. I'm playing one now. The track list is: Round and Round Marianne Butterfly Almost Paradise Mama Look At Bubu Party Doll Teenage Crush I'm Walkin' These were not bad, although they were lacking the heart of the originals. But, for 99 cents for a 10" LP they were a way people could have versions of the hits of the day. Not bad. Quote

I also had Harry Belafonte's first album from the calypso craze. It was decades before I discovered that he has a jazz/blues background. I found his Belafonte Sings The Blues album a couple of years ago. Beautiful collection. Quote

In an era like ours in which we're inundated with information - with inexpensive LPs and CDs everywhere - there is something kind of poignant about records like the one you describe. Quote

I found it on a shelf at my primary vinyl source, alongside 10" albums by Clifford Brown, Harry James, Sarah Vaughan, Woody Herman and Rafael Mendez. I bought those, plus the 8 Top Hits. Warmed my heart. Quote
