What vinyl are you spinning right now??

The Olympia Brass Band of New Orleans (Audiophile). I hesitated before adding this 1971 album to the stack during my vinyl buying binge yesterday - do I really need another N.O. brass band album, particularly another Olympia record? But I'm really glad I pulled the trigger on this one - it's beautifully played, recorded and pressed. Vinyl lovers looking for a good traditional New Orleans brass band record should keep their eyes open for this.

Inez Andrews & the Andrewettes - The need of Prayer - Songbird (Vogue France)

Rev Amos Waller & the Mercy Seat Missionary Baptist Church - Come to Jesus - Songbird (green label)

and from the same venue

Swanee Quintet - 27th anniversary live at the Mercy Seat Baptist Church, Chicago - Creed (dull yellow label)

I didn't notice those two were recorded in the same place until I was posting just now!

The Star Lite Singers of Lexington, Mississippi: Footprint of Jesus (Hue). I got this one in Clarksdale about 17 years ago. Amazing music, with the late, great Lonnie Pitchford on guitar and bass.

Wow! Never heard of any of these, or even the label. When was it done?

I've written more about Pitchford here. If you don't won't to read the whole thing, skip to the last two paragraphs for what little I know about this record.

A very nice piece, Jeff. Thanks.

And there I was thinking this was sixties stuff :)

now playing

Freddie Hubbard - Classics - Fantasy

The right stuff when you want some hard hard bop - not often for me.
