What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

Sam Rivers 'Contours' mono - just getting in the groove..

[Leeway]

All about beginnings and endings:

Both Blue Notes are blue label, white "b"- "Van Gelder" in the deadwax on "Beyond". I recall that the Pepper album came up on this tread before, and AJF67 offered me a burn. Thanks Drew, but I found (stumbled across) my copy at last A fine Pepper session. Hurts to think how many years Art spent in jail after recording this gem.

and Bob Dylan, "New Morning"- Columbia LP

One step beyond, giant step, or even giant steps?

If Hendrix made us want "electric ladyland," Taj made us want to get our lady, take to the land, and rusticate. Columbia LP.

Speaking of beginnings and endings, Pharoah Sanders told us what he thought: "the Creator has a Master Plan"-

MCA Impulse LP.

Mosaic COMPLETE BENNY MORTON AND JIMMY HAMILTON BLUE NOTE SWINGTETS. I just lucked into this one at an auction recently. It sounds fantastic, far better than the Japanese reissue of this stuff on a CD from 1999 called SWING HI, SWING LO. No comparison. Even my CD-R burn SMOKES that one.

Ah, the joys of pristine vinyl, a tube amp with a great phono stage, and a burner...

Vinyls spinning this evening:

- Warne Marsh 'Warne Out' (Interplay), with Jim Hughart and Nick Ceroli,

- Johnny Hartman 'Live At Sometime' (Trio) with Roland Hanna and George Mraz,

- Joel Futterman 'Inneraction' (JDF) with Jimmy Lyons, Richard Davis and Robert Adkins

I have cleaned my ears and ready to enjoy all three!

[Leeway]

A rainy day off gave me a bit of extra time to listen:

Blue Note, Blue label, white "B"

Country Joe-- minus his "Fish"- I saw Country Joe and The Fish back in the late 60s at the Fillmore East, and yes, we did the F-cheer! And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for? I don't give a damn, next stop it's Vietnam." Maybe now it's Baghdad or Fallujah?

Anti-war songs based on the poetry of Robert Service. All-too relevant, alas.

I prefer Joe with The Fish. Vanguard LPs.

I've heard a lot about Graham Parker- sounds to me like a mix of Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, and especially Elvis Costello-- but without the inner fire:

Back to some jazz:

Atlantic SD 1572

Some terrific 70s organ jazz/funk:

With Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Eddie Henderson, Mark Elf on guitar, smokin! Prestige double-LP.

Wanted to hear some Dewey Redman, so checked out:

Can't say I'm much of a Keith Jarrett fan, but this is a very good outing. Jarrett's "vocalizing" makes Glenn Gould sound like Pavarotti. A dreaful wheedling sound Impulse! LP

JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE LIVE AT BERKELEY.

JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE LIVE AT BERKELEY.

Time flows but I can't get old enough to quit Jimi

To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, "When you are too old for Hendrix, you are too old for life" I saw Hendrix 35 years ago at the Fillmore East. I still play his music. Rock On!

Yes, good to have you! Vinyl lives!!!

Do you buy much new/reissued vinyl?

[Leeway]

Some Blue Note this afternoon. Up first, Mobley's "A Slice of the Top":

Another terrible LT cover series. The cover for McLean's "Consequences" in the same series would have made a more fitting cover for the Mobley. Anyway, one of Mobley's more unusual ensembles. There seemd to have been a fad for a while for the use of euphonium. Anyone still using that?

Quintessential BN. This title should never have been/or be allowed to-- go out of print:

King pressing.

I get whatever vinyl I can get my hands on. Though as you probably know, you have much more shopping time if you get old/used stuff.

Reissues are nice, and I certainly bite. But I wish more new stuff was available on vinyl.

But I love going through the dusty bins of used record shops.

Looks like some good listening. Welcome!

I am listening at King Crimson "LIZARD", UK Island first pressing.

Well, you could talk about SACD, audiophile Lp pressing, ecc..

but these guys of analog age really knew what music means. Absolutely stunning!!!!
