Frank Wright - One For John - (BYG Actuel orig)

A classic!

A noisy "classic".

Indeed. Church Number Nine is actually my favorite of this group, but the BYG is excellent also.

Now:

Karl Berger - Tune In - (Milestone)

w/ Carlos Ward, Ed Blackwell and some bassist named David Holland...

I was referring to the BYG pressings, not the music.

Downloads galore.

Ah, I see what you mean. Mine's not "the worst" but I've certainly heard better-pressed LPs. And I know what you mean about the "Church Number Nine" site, too... but at least the stolen music has a stolen name from a bitchin' LP!

Now:

Sunny Murray - Quintet - (ESP orig)

w/ Alan Silva, Byard Lancaster, Jacques Coursil and Jack Graham.

The Diamonds - Live & Well

Yes, the Little Darlin' group.

They were a fairly run-of-the-mill singing group from my childhood years.

This has covers of:

Side 1

That is Rock 'n Roll

Why Do Fools Fall In Love

Charlie Brown

Walkin' Along

A Thousand Miles Away

Splish Splash

Sillhouettes

Little Darlin' [their only, but monster hit]

Side 2

Da Do Ron Ron

One Summer Night

The Stroll

Church Bells May Ring

Buddy Holly Medley [Maybe Baby, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy, That'll Be The Day]

Misc. Medley [Earth Angel, You Send Me, Sincerely, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Tears On My Pillow, Goodnight Sweetheart, Goodnight]

Barbara Ann.

Fun. :cool:

The cover is autographed by all four of the singers, Gary, Gary, Steve and Bob "To Trina", so I assume that it was bought at one of their re-union performances.

They are wearing those white dinner-jackets, with ruffle-fronted shirts, like they are dressed for the prom.

......................................................

Now, for something more challenging,

Lee Morgan - Memorial Album. Blue Note label.

"Little darlin'" was so completely naff it was lovable. I always imagined the bass singer kneeling at the feet of some lovely young thing (in a white DJ, ruffle fronted shirt etc, as you describe), one hand on his heart, the other stretched out to her, singing in that ridiculously straight voice, as if he's making a speech, "My darling...." etc.

Wonderful. But terrible.

Exactly my reaction, even when it was first released. The bass voice reminds me of The Platters.

For some reason though I have an uncontrollable desire to listen to dance music. So, I'm now listening to

Enchanted Tangos. The band is somebody called Bela Sanders and his orchestra. Pretty tame, straighforward tangos.

The magic of the tango has always been the dance itself more than the music.

I'm following that with another album, released in 1956, called Calypso From The Virgin Islands.

I guess the original owner of this album was on vacation and bought this while there. It's by The Mighty Zebra [the vocalist, who was a big star in that part of the world] with La Motta Brothers Virgin Isle Hotel Orchestra. They cover some of Harry Belafonte's stuff, plus do some other less well-known tunes, written by the afore-mentioned Mighty Zebra. The band is certainly enthusiastic.

And now, Il Giganti Del JAZZ on CURCIO label.

This is a series of live performances by Dizzy Gillespie's quintet, "Be Bop"

Sarah Vaughan, singing with the quintet, "Embraceable You"

Dizzy's quintet, "My Heart Belongs To Daddy" [an amazingly effective interpretation]

Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band - "Things To Come"

Miles Davis's Quintet, "Milestone"

and Charlie Mingus and His Sextet. "Pithecanthropus Erectus"

I just recently moved [again] and couldn't find this. Well, tonight I did. One of my favourite albums.
