Leeway Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Wanted to start 2005 off on the right "note," so a couple of more LPs from my personal favorites: Resolved: To spin more vinyl Quote
wolff Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Posted January 2, 2005 Coltrane: Crescent Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis with the Tommy Flanagan Trio: Straight Ahead (Pablo) Nice record with very decent sound. Ellington/Brown: This One's For Blanton (Pablo) A must own with wonderful sound to boot!!! Ellington: Up In Duke's Workshop (Pablo) Love the fairly natural(large) dynamic range on this one. Quote
BFrank Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 "The Newport Years - Vol. V: Dizzy Gillespie" This big band date from 7/6/1957 is Smokin' ! Band includes: Lee Morgan, Melba Liston, Al Gray, Ernie Henry, Billy Mitchell, Bennie Golson, Wynton Kelly, Charles Persip......among OTHERS. Quote
paul secor Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Art Pepper: "Smack Up" (Analogue Productions) Quote
brownie Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Hampton Hawes, vol. 3 'The Trio' (Contemporary) a reissue from the '80s to be followed by: Hampton Hawes 'For Real' (Contemporary, original copy) with Harold Land, Scott LaFaro, Frank Butler Quote
j_par Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk (45rpm Analogue Productions issue). This one knocked me off my chair with its sound. Wonderful stuff. Quote
Leeway Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Jimmy McGriff- THE WORM- Solid State Blue Note Liberty Get Back/VAI/Abraxas LP (made in Italy-- I can't even begin to fathom the licensing arrangement here, assuming there were any. 180 gram vinyl, excellent sound but spotty surface quality). Quote
wolff Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Posted January 2, 2005 Get Back has a lot of titles in print, but I've stayed away for the reasons you mention. Basie: 88 Basie Street (Pablo) Sinatra: September of My Years (Nice reissue) Quote
BFrank Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Interesting choice. An album that is usually underrated. Although I haven't listened to it in a LONG time, I remember thinking it was better than most people gave it credit for. I'll have to give it a spin again sometime soon. (I've only got the vinyl) Quote
paul secor Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Hank Mobley Quartet/George Wallington Showcase (Blue Note/King - Japan) The Wallington sides are nice, but the Mobley sides - Quote
Leeway Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Interesting choice. An album that is usually underrated. Although I haven't listened to it in a LONG time, I remember thinking it was better than most people gave it credit for. I'll have to give it a spin again sometime soon. (I've only got the vinyl) Any album with Slick, Balin and Kantner together is worth a listen, and this is a good, even very good, JA album, but not a great one. Commonly available on vinyl, which is how I have my copy. Quote
wolff Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Posted January 3, 2005 Ran Blake: Rapport Finally, warming up to this one. Quote
Z-Man Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Sonny Rollins - The Bridge (Classic 200g) Sonny Rollins - Brass/Trio (Verve black label - I don't know what distinguishes different Verve pressings - a topic for another thread I suppose) Lee Morgan - Cornbread (NY address mono) Bobby Jaspar (RLP 12-240, blue label, deep groove both sides) Spaghetti & Meatballs and a decent cabernet. 2005 is off to a good start. Quote
wolff Posted January 3, 2005 Author Report Posted January 3, 2005 Sonny Rollins - Brass/Trio (Verve black label - I don't know what distinguishes different Verve pressings - a topic for another thread I suppose) Try HERE for starters. Or, pick up a Goldmine. Quote
paul secor Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Jimmy Knepper in L.A. (disco mate - Japan) - Probably the record in my collection that best captures the beauty of his tone. Quote
pryan Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Ike Quebec: IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING Quote

brownie Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 Teddy Wilson & his 1939 Big Band (Fanfare). The America Dances Broadcast via BBC, plus sides with the Paul Baron Orchestra and with Mildred Bailey. Sound is pretty bad, music is pretty good. And more! Quote
Bill Fenohr Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 All over the place today. Clifford Jordan-Dr Chicago- Beehive The Beehive Sessions Unissued Tracks The Visitors-Rebirth-Muse The Visitors-Motherland-Muse Red Mitchell-Rejoice!-Pacific Jazz Ralph Burns-Bijou-Bethlehem Australian Jazz Quartet-Plus 1- Bethlehem Bobby Troup-The Distintive Style Of-Bethlehem w.
