Teasing the Korean Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Andre Previn - Dead Ringer OST - WB (white label promo, mono). Dissonant orchestral mayhem with harpsichord. Sounds like the soundtrack to a "Night Gallery" episode, which is a good thing! Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Black Bands in Paris 1929-1930 (French Pathe). Sam Wooding has most of the tracks here. More historically interest than really good music here, but Albert Wynn has some really nice trombone solos with the Wooding band. Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Klezmer Conservatory Band - Yiddishe Renaissance (Vanguard). Listening both for enjoyment and to look for repertoire for the 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra. We might have a winner with "Yiddish Blues" by Joseph Frankel. I like the cover photo, too - 13 young Jews and Don Byron. Quote

BillF Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 The Mel Lewis Orchestra, 20 Years at the Village Vanguard (Atlantic) Rarely buy vinyl these days, but spotted this at Manchester's Vinyl Exchange for £6 in as-new condition. Cheapest online seems to be about £30. As for the music, you can never fault this band, as far as I'm concerned. And I'd never heard of this album before! Quote
MartyJazz Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 George Wallington Quintet at the Cafe Bohemia - alternate takes. This 1985 issue LP (Progressive PRO-7001)) was taken out of circulation as a result of a lawsuit against the producer. Fascinating album especially if you love as much as I do, the original album.

clifford_thornton Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Marion Brown - Vista - (Impulse) How is that one? I've passed on it a number of times. Not sure as to why. Gesprachfetzen it ain't, but then again it doesn't need to be. I would spend no more than $5 on it; I think mine was $2 and it's very clean. Super-mellow, but very nice. The version of "Visions" is an only-slightly-guilty pleasure. Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Al Gallodoro - Gallodoro (Merri). A guilty pleasure. This is semi-classical and pop music - flashy and shallow. But I'm a sucker for great saxophone playing, and Gallodoro is pretty amazing. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Al Gallodoro - Gallodoro (Merri). A guilty pleasure. This is semi-classical and pop music - flashy and shallow. But I'm a sucker for great saxophone playing, and Gallodoro is pretty amazing. As I said before, he came to my small town, Iowa school (maybe 300 students, k-12) around 1957. I was in the band and was transfixed by his playing. Edited October 14, 2009 by Chuck Nessa Quote
