Art Farmer/Jim Hall; Big Blues. CTI (UK pressing)

Slick CTI production and possibly inappropriate drummer notwithstanding, I've always had a weakness for the album. Glad to see that someone else likes it.

Very slick but nice. Like you I've never taken to Gadd's rather stiff drumming. Better here than elsewhere maybe?

[JohnS]

Cal Massey; Blues To Coltrane; Candid/Black Lion.

[sidewinder]

Another welcome spin for Tubby Hayes/Jack Constanzo 'Costanzo Plus Tubbs' (UK Fontana, mono)

then - Jeff Clyne/Ian Carr 'Springboard' (UK Polydor, stereo) in tribute to both artists.

I agree. Not an expert on S. Gadd, but I like his playing here more than about anything I've heard.

Neil Young - Sugar Mountain, Live At Canterbury House 1968 - Reprise. NYArchive, japanese pressing.

Shelly Manne: 2-3-4 (Impulse/MCA Japan)

I'm probably in a minority here, but this record has never come across for me. It's always seemed more like something put together by a producer than a musician's record.

And Manne's playing seems contrived some of the time, as if he had to assert his presence because he was the leader.

A few good moments, but not a success.

Neil Young - Crazy Horse At Fillmore East 1970 - Reprise, NYArchive.
