wolff Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) "Big" John Patton Along Came John (Toshiba/EMI) The Way I Feel (original stereo) Got A Good Thing Goin' (original mono) and Lee Morgan: Live At The Lighthouse..Always a pleasure to listen to this original double LP. I love the recording/mastering. Huge, seemless, accurate sound. I feel like I'm about 3 tables from the stand. If you want an audiophile LP that actually is one, give it a try. Other recordings sound sick after listening to this one. Edited February 5, 2005 by wolff Quote
sidewinder Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Yep, that Lee Morgan 'Lighthouse' LP set is always a huge pleasure. The CD set is great for having all of the music but the LP set has the 'presence'. Cue to dig out my Teutonic version later today ! Quote
Alfred Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 Yep, that Lee Morgan 'Lighthouse' LP set is always a huge pleasure. The CD set is great for having all of the music but the LP set has the 'presence'. Cue to dig out my Teutonic version later today ! Apropos of Teutonic versions. I'm listening to The Roger Kellaway Trio at the moment. It's a german SABA issue - superb pressing and sound quality. SABA (Villigen, Schwarzwald) had produced lots of great original Prestige (et al) releases. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 I love those German Saba pressings. I've got several of the Prestige issues (Jaki Byard at Lennies for one) and their reissue of Nathan Davis's 'Hip Walk'. Also a Francy Boland. Great pressing quality ! Huge Quote
sidewinder Posted February 5, 2005 Report Posted February 5, 2005 (edited) Mingus Bethlehem sessions spinning at the moment. 'East Coasting' and 'A Modern Jazz Symposium of Music and Poetry' Both mono deepgrove originals and recorded in 'micro cosmic sound', whatever that is.. 'East Coasting' is one hell of an album. Great cameo appearance by Bill Evans on piano. According to the writeup in Brian Priestley's 'Mingus' bio, he was asked to participate the night before this session. Unbelievable !

wolff Posted February 6, 2005 Author Report Posted February 6, 2005 Some Al Green. Some Otis Redding. Some Parlan Mosaic. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 Jaki Byard Quartet - 'Live ! Vol 1'. German Saba pressing of the Presige 'Lennies at the Turnpike' recording. Lousy piano, great atmosphere.. B-) Quote
brownie Posted February 6, 2005 Report Posted February 6, 2005 Louis Hayes-Junior Cook 'Ichi-ban' (Timeless) next: Tete Montoliu 'Temas Brasilenos' (Ensayo) Quote

mikeweil Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 SABA (Villigen, Schwarzwald) had produced lots of great original Prestige (et al) releases. Just received and put on a Saba pressing of Sonny Stitt's POW! - there are some on eBay Germany right now. Bidding on a Don Patterson ... these pressings are far superior to the US ones, but the recording Prestige favoured in the 1960's is pretty flat. Quote
porcy62 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) JOHN COLTRANE "Ascension" (Impulse stereo, "version 1") The great thing about the more avantgarde Coltrane's recordings is that you can find pristine original pressings, maybe the previous owners did not listen at them very often.

Jazz Kat Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 I have been sick all weekend, and today. So I put on, last night, the album that clears my head, Kind Of Blue. Quote
pryan Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Managed to acquire the Dizzy Reece BN Lp (deep groove pressing) of SOUNDIN' OFF (reasonable condition, some scratches). My introduction to Reece's playing - I dig it a lot. That Select just climbed up a bit on my list. Quote

patricia Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 MILES' THE MAN WITH A HORN Gorgeous collection!!!! Enjoy. On my turntable, "Jazz Spectrum", a compilation on Curcio I Giganti Del Jazz. It features amazing live perfomances. Side I Dizzy Gillespie Quartet - Be Bop Sarah Vaughan, backed by Dizzy singing a terrific version of "Embraceable You" Dizzy's kick-ass take on "My Heart Belongs To Daddy". WOW!! Dizzy's Big Band - Things To Come Side II Miles Davis Quintet - Milestone Charlie Mingus and His Sextet - Pithecanthropus Erectus Now, this collection has NO liner notes, but all the tracks are live performances, where the pulse of the audience is clearly heard. Not in an annoying way though, but as if I were listening to the performances among like-minded jazz-addicts. Wonderful!!! Sassy at her best, IMO. Everybody on the album are bursting with energy and creativity. This is one of my favourite collections and this was a low-end, from a cost perspective, release. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 There's only one master to play on this sad day. Currently on: 'Midnight Special', Jimmy Smith. Blue Note, NY USA stereo. One of my favourite sessions of Jimmy with the also late-lamented Stanley T. Next on: 'The Sermon' - Blue Note 47W63rd deep groove. An eternal thanks to Jimmy for this one. Quote
patricia Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 (edited) We want the greats to live forever and, with their music they do. Jimmy's music was one of the reasons I turned to jazz and his version of "Walk On The Wild Side" is the best one ever recorded. I will spin "The Sermon" first, then the "Walk On The Wild Side" collection. One by one, the greats leave us..................... Edited February 9, 2005 by patricia Quote
