Clunky Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 Booker Little-Time (new vinyl)- sound not bad, some tape wobble on one track. Quote

patricia Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 "Great Scott!! Ragtime, Minus You" Scott Joplin collection which came with a music book with sheet music for all the tracks on the record. For the longest time I wondered why the album cover still felt weighty, even after the record was on the turntable. DUH! Previously, "Woody Herman, 40th Anniversary Concert at Carnegie Hall" and Johnny Clegg & Savuka "Shadow Man". Quote
porcy62 Posted November 26, 2004 Report Posted November 26, 2004 Johnny Clegg & Savuka "Shadow Man". I love this album! I have to admit my copy is cd. Shame, shame, shame on me! Quote
Peter Johnson Posted November 26, 2004 Report Posted November 26, 2004 Freddie Roach, "Good Move" Quote
patricia Posted November 26, 2004 Report Posted November 26, 2004 Johnny Clegg & Savuka "Shadow Man". I love this album! I have to admit my copy is cd. Shame, shame, shame on me! I forgive you. It was only chance that mine is vinyl. I am always amazed at what people give to the Salvation Army and to Goodwill. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 26, 2004 Report Posted November 26, 2004 (edited) A bit of advance posting before I actually reach for the turntable today but the first is going to be Jimmy Smith 'Plays Fats Waller' mono NY USA followed by the Larry Young Mosaic LP set. The weekend starts here.. Oh - and seeing the Freddie Roach 'Good Move' listed above reminds me to also add this one to the pile. B-) Edited November 26, 2004 by sidewinder Quote

I forgive you. It was only chance that mine is vinyl. I am always amazed at what people give to the Salvation Army and to Goodwill. We don't have such a charitable organizations for vinyl lovers! Even yard sales and second-hand stores quite often have old vinyl, discarded by misguided philostines, I've found. If you can shelve your discomfort at sifting through old lamps and rejected clothing, it's possible to score some great stuff for as little as fifty cents a disc. I must confess though that I prefer to go to a vintage vinyl place in the barred-window section of town for old records, even though I have to pay up to twenty dollars for some two-record sets. The average price there is around eight dollars. It was months before I realized that they kept their JazzTones in a separate section, although they were in the eight to ten dollar range. In short, a goldmine!! Also, it wouldn't hurt to do what a dear friend of mine does. He checks the obituaries and waits for yardsales in old sections of town by the wife of the deceased. I frowned when he told me this, but it makes sense. On that note, I was, as I think I mentioned earlier, gifted with a new turntable by a friend in his early twenties, who had never listened to a record and didn't know what a "45" was. It is a marvelous turntable, although, unlike the one I had previously, it has no "78" speed. We who love vinyl are a dying breed, it seems. My children are just a little embarrassed that I still listen to records, although I do, of course have CD's as well as audio-tapes, though no 8-tracks. [i would be, oddly, embarrassed to still have those.] Funny story. I know a man who made a little T-shaped side table from old 8-tracks and tons of duct-tape. He seemed surprised that his lovely wife refused to have the table in their living room. ............................... Back on topic, spinning right now, "Lena Horne At The Astoria". [mint. yard-sale. One dollar.] Edited November 26, 2004 by patricia Quote

Leeway Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 Post-turkey listening session: Freddie Hubbard - "Straight Life"- with Joe Henderson, Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Ron Carter, and Jack DeJohnette. CTI. A classic session. 1970. Then: DAVE LIEBMAN - "PENDULUM" 1978- Artists House Randy Brecker on trumpet, Richard Beirach on piano, Frank Tusa on bass, and Al Foster on drums. Recorded live at the Vilage Vanguard. Cool version of Shorter's "Footprints" Some vocals: A JAZZ DATE WITH CHRIS CONNOR Atlantic 1286. Some great sidemen on this gig: Oscar pettiford, Sam Most, Al Cohn, Eddie Costa, Osie Johnson, Ralph Sharon. 1956. Blue Mitchell plays trumpet. 1972. Polydor. Blue Note (United Artists) 84413. 1971. GG playing some very funkified jazz/R&B, with a big band behind him. Odd, but the thing does swing. Epic PE 30325. 1971. The ultimate party album. When you put the LPs from around 1970 together, one can see a desire, maybe for commercial, maybe for artistic, reasons, to pull together jazz, R&B, rock, funk. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 (edited) More Blue Note this morning. Jackie McLean 'New and Old Gospel' Liberty pressing. This collaboration with Ornette Coleman on trumpet works suprisingly well. To be followed up with Big John Patton 'Got a Good Thing Goin'' mono NY USA. Another real good-un from Big John.

sidewinder Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 'Rejoicing' - a beautifully recorded ECM album by Pat Metheny. Quote
pryan Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 A bit of Ike Quebec with Freddie Roach to follow up.. Good stuff. I have IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING, which is another fine Quebec session, IMO. Going to have to dig that one out soon. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 Can't have enough Ike... Just giving Grant Green 'Am I Blue' Applause 1st pressing a spin.. Quote
Leeway Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 Conn series pressing. and: Liberty pressing. On a couple fo cuts, there is a strong Miles influence. "West of Pecos" has more than a passing resemblance to "Milestones." and: and: Hey, how did that get in there? Quote

DrJ Posted November 28, 2004 Report Posted November 28, 2004 Just finished transfering the last sessions from the COMPLETE SIDNEY BECHET BLUE NOTE Mosaic vinyl set to CD-R - and I have to say that last date with Jonah Jones on trumpet and Buddy Weed on piano is a real sleeper, very much underrated. Listening to the whole set over a period of several days, with close attention, I think it's easily as good as the best of the earlier BN sessions, possibly better. Quote
