What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

Andrew Hill--Black Fire (Blue Note mono, NY USA)--Today's lucky find for $13, with the record close to near mint.

I paid a bit mote than that !

Nick Travis 'The Panic Is On' (RCA, mono)

I haven't heard the music, but what a great Jim Flora cover this has:

On now, Fresh Sound lp reissue

I had this as an HMV LP bought when I was a teenager holidaying in England to try and learn the local language.

Loved the music (and he album cover) so much that I HAD to get an original RCA Victor. Took me a long time...

Now spinning:

Booker Ervin 'The Song Book' (Prestige, Bergenfield, mono)

[sidewinder]

Booker Ervin 'The Song Book' (Prestige, Bergenfield, mono)

Great one - always thought that LP first came out as a green label in the 70s.

Big John Patton 'Accent On The Blues' (BN Rare Groove, stereo)

[kh1958]

Gene Ammons--Boss Soul (Prestige mono, blue label).

[sidewinder]

Lee Morgan 'Charisma' (BN Liberty, stereo). This one gets unfairly slagged off IMO - a good 60s Morgan session.

That's a very nice recording in my opinion as well. Found a promo copy back in the '70s.

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

My neighbor, bless her heart, just brought this LP to the door and said she picked it up this a.m. at a yard sale. Said she saw it and immediately thought of me and the jazz!

Just finished listening to 'Big Daddy' (...is Alabameee bound)

....yeah boy...and some slick finger pickin' on 'After You're Gone!'

From the liner notes: "The age of thirteen found him taking lessons on the baritone horn, and later he changed to trombone when his dad got one in a swap for a rusty .38 pistol."

Another one to pull out and play. This thread is a real time stealer.

John Patton - That Certain Feeling (BN). I'd hate to have to chose a favorite John Patton album, but if I had to, this might be it.

That one's a favorite of a lot of people , including me , though it might have to share the title with Memphis To New York Spirit .

Yeah, I thought $30 was a good deal on mine!

The Headin' South disc from the Parlan Mosaic

This weekend:

Sonny Stitt- "I Remember Bird"- typically good Stitt, with Frank Rosolino on trombone and Dolo Coker on piano, some fine playing between them;

Charles Lloyd- "Love In"- the Four Men with Beards vinyl version- some great stuff and some cheese there, but I enjoy it.

George Shearing Quintet- "I Hear Music"- on an old MGM LP-- a real surprise to me-- some really tasty piano playing, and some excellent piano-vibes interaction. Also Chuck wayne on guitar. I've read that Bud Powell listened to Shearing and I think I can hear some influence there. There is one very boppish-Powell-like cut on the LP (I'm too lazy to run back upstairs to get the title).

Jack Wilson- "Songs for My Daughter"-- again, some cheesy violin/strings accompaniment, but I really dig this album anyway. I like Wilson's piano playing, and the string background actually gets a great mood going, even if it is over the top at times.

I also went back to my 60s roots over the weekend, listened to a lot of vinyl from Crosby, Still, Nash & Young- in several of their permutations, starting from some of the Croby-Nash collaborations and moving on out to all four. Also some Byrds LPs. Also "Workingman's Dead" by the Grateful Dead (of course). And some Stones, from their double LP "More Hot Rocks"- has some of my favorite "minor" (?) Stones goodies on it.

Anyone else feeling the tug of the 60s on them? I'm theorizing that the Iraq war is giving me Vietnam War flashbacks, so I'm going back to the music of a previous war era.

Oh yes, one more jazz LP I listened to Friday- Hank Jones- "Relaxin' at Camarillo"- all-star lineup- with Kenny Clarke on drums, Paul Chambers on bass, and, the reason I really picked this LP up-- Bobby Jaspar on flute. Hard to define Jaspar's sound. I've only heard it once, I like it, need to give it more listens to get a better sense of Jaspar's style on flute.

That looks very interesting - I wasn't aware of it.

This morning: Alto Summit: Lee Konitz/Phil Woods/Pony Poindexter/Leo Wright (Prestige - originally on MPS). A bunch of great Joachim Berendt-produced alto playing from 1968.

That one's a favorite of a lot of people , including me , though it might have to share the title with Memphis To New York Spirit .

My favorite would be a tie between The Certain Feeling and Let 'Em Roll.
