Sans distorsion!

Now spinning:

Steve Lacy 'The Flame' (Soul Note)

with Bobby Few and Dennis Charles

[jeffcrom]

John LaPorta - The Most Minor (Everest mono - before they became a bootleg/gray market label)

[jeffcrom]

One side each of:

Anthony Braxton - Alto Saxophone Improvisations 1979 and For Trio (Arista)

[Ken Dryden]

Jimmy Raney Visits Paris

[jeffcrom]

After a lot of avant-garde, some grease:

Hank Marr - Greasy Spoon (King) 1960-64 recordings.

[brownie]

Ted Curson 'Plenty of Horn' (Old Town/Denon Japan)

[sidewinder]

Lou Donaldson 'Sweet Slumber' (BN King). Nice Duke Pearson mid-sized band with totally stellar lineup (Shorter, Hubbard, Pepper Adams, McCoy).

[BillF]

Philips/Columbia in my case, actually.

[ajf67]

"Giants of Boogie Woogie" on Riverside. Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis. This one is an old white label deep groove and it sounds great. A few pops but nothing that matters to me.

[Chalupa]

Ukulele Ike (Cliff Edwards) - I'm A Bear In A Lady's Boudoir (Yazoo)

V.A. - String Ragtime - To Do This You Got To Know How (Yazoo)

Clifford Hayes and The Dixieland Jug Blowers - s/t (Yazoo)

[jeffcrom]

Johnny Hodges - Rippin' and Runnin' (Verve) My favorite latter-day Hodges, with a young (1968) rhythm section: Billy Gardner, Jimmy Ponder, Ron Carter, and Freddie Waits.

[sidewinder]

Freddie Roach 'Down To Earth' (BN NY USA, mono)

[BillF]

Presenting Thad Jones/Mel Lewis & The Jazz Orchestra (EMI/United Artists)

[sidewinder]

Presenting Thad Jones/Mel Lewis & The Jazz Orchestra (EMI/United Artists)

I'm quite fond of that pressing - with its Sonny Lester reverb and Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve !

[brownie]

Sonny Stitt 'Now!' (Impulse, stereo, black and red label)

[JohnS]

Cannonball Adderley; Discoveries. Savoy Jazz (BMG France)

[JohnS]

Eddie Bert; Encore. Savoy(Japan)

[jostber]

Previously:

Percy Mayfield - Bought Blues

Fred Wesley And The J.B.'s - Damn Right I Am Somebody

Now:

Roy Brooks - The Free Slave

[dsockel]

Three for Shepp by Marion Brown on original Impulse and Frank Wess' Southern Comfort on original Prestige.

[jeffcrom]

Sunny Murray - An Even Break (BYG) Byard Lancaster is so soulful.

Marion Brown - Three for Shepp (Impulse) I was planning on listening to this even before DaveS's post. This is such a beautiful album. Stanley Cowell's stride piano on "Spooks" is just amazing.

Previously:

Percy Mayfield - Bought Blues

Fred Wesley And The J.B.'s - Damn Right I Am Somebody

Now:

Roy Brooks - The Free Slave

"The Free Slave" is a nice one.

Right now I'm listening to "Red Allen Meets Kid Ory" on a mono Verve. Before that was "Swing Session With Edmond Hall" on Commodore.

[sidewinder]

Grant Green 'Matador' (Music Matters BN 2x45rpm)

[brownie]

Elvin Jones 'Puttin' It Together' (BN/Liberty, blue label)

great trio date with Joe Farrell and Jimmy Garrison

[Teasing the Korean]

Michel Legrand plays Richard Rodgers - Philips (black label, mono).

From 1962, this is an overlooked gem that has not been reissued on CD AFAIK.

A big band lineup augmented with woodwinds, french horns, and additional percussion. Brilliant writing, lots of jazz content and that touch of Kennedy-era space age sparkle. Right up there with Legrand Jazz, IMHO.

Then:

Michel Legrand - Les Desmoiselles De Rochefort, Instrumental Version - UA (pink and orange stereo)

Michel Legrand - The Happy Ending - UA (pink and orange, stereo)

John Barry - On Her Majesty's Secret Service - UA (pink and orange, stereo).
