kh1958 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Charles Earland--Black Talk (Prestige, purple label) Quote
BillF Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Tadd Dameron; Fontainebleau; OJC/Prestige Have the original Prestige LP of that, bought in the 60s. The music has stood the test of time, but not the cover - front and back are parting company. Quote
BillF Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) A great favorite of mine, though I have it on CD as a Pacific Jazz West Coast Classics reissue. Edited May 13, 2009 by BillF Quote
JohnS Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Tadd Dameron; Fontainebleau; OJC/Prestige Have the original Prestige LP of that, bought in the 60s. The music has stood the test of time, but not the cover - front and back are parting company. A real classic. Still sounds great today. Now, as it's next to Dameron on the shelf - Ted Curson; Fire Down Below; OJC/Prestige Edited May 13, 2009 by JohnS Quote

I'm more into something resembling chronological myself, though it's difficult, I admit! Quote

Jaffa Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Found a near mint copy of Mel Lewis' "Got' cha", (San Francisco) Jazz Records 2 today for 15 bucks. Wow - what a great LP. Sounds WAY superior compared with the blurred sounds from the Spanish hack-job CD I bought years ago... Quote
Chalupa Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Grachan Moncur III - New Africa (Actuel/BYG original) Grachan Moncur III - Aco Dei De Madrugada (One Morning I waked Up Very Early) (Actuel/BYG original) New Africa might be the best sounding BYG album that I've heard. All of the instruments are balanced just right. The bass sounds very natural. Definitely one of my favorites by Moncur. I wish all of the original Actuel/BYG tapes will turn up soon. Alas. Quote
jeffcrom Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Ken McIntyre - Open Horizon (Inner City). I like it all except the amateurish bassoon. This judgment is from someone who has played amateurish bassoon. Quote

Chalupa Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 John Tchicai and Cadentia Nova Danica - Cadentia Nova Danica (Freedom/Trio Records)* John Tchicai and Cadentia Nova Danica - Afrodisiaca (MPS) *Question - the recording put out by Trio sounds a little distant/muddy. How does the Polydor version compare? Quote
jeffcrom Posted May 15, 2009 Report Posted May 15, 2009 Ptah, the El Daoud - Alice Coltrane (Impulse). Go, Joe and Pharaoh! Quote

How does the Polydor version compare? Polydor is the same - I've had both. Live recording in Aarhus, Denmark, and I've always really liked the spacey din that the record has. Quote
