Wonderful!

A nice evening with the vinyl:

George Freeman - Franticdiagnosis (Bam-boo) Thanks to The Magnificent Goldberg for introducing me to this bizarre and wonderful album.

Captain John Handy - John Handy's New Orleans Jazz (Polydor International) A great 1965 album, not released in the U.S., with Alvin Alcorn and Dave "Fat Man" Williams, among others.

Snooks Eaglin - Down Yonder (GNP Crescendo) The New Orleans guitar genius had recorded R & B singles and folk/blues albums, but this 1977 record was his first full-length R & B album. Ellis Marsalis, Clarence Ford and the French brothers (George and Bob) are on board.

Haven't heard the Helen Humes, but Nuba is wonderful and often overlooked record.

Archie Shepp - The Magic of Ju-Ju

because I just played ....

Life at the Donauschingen Music Festival

and had forgotten how great these albums were

[sidewinder]

Dodo Greene--My Hour of Need (Blue Note NY USA)

That must be the one Blue Note album from the classic period that I've never heard !

It's OK. If you like Soul Jazz vocals done in a not terribly distinguished way, with a superb backing band, you can get some enjoyment out of this. I think I'll dig it out and give it a spin. (The CD, that is.)

Me either, until this listen--I was astounded to find this copy at my local Half Price Books this week for $8. I agree with MG's assessment.

Ahmad Jamal at the Blackhawk (Argo)

[kh1958]

John Coltrane--A Love Supreme (Impulse, red and black)

Barney Kessel On Fire (Emerald)

[Big Al]

Gerry Mulligan/Paul Desmond - BLUES IN TIME (Verve V-8478, MONO baby!)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Playing my new Earl Grants

The versatile Earl Grant - Decca (Colortune DG)

This one is definitely a good Earl Grant to pick up cheap; even better on a second listen. Some real nice Plas Johnson and a nice solo by unidentified guitarist who may have been one of the West Coast well known players (1958) or perhaps someone in the Ernie Freeman ambit.

Trade winds - Decca (Brunswick UK)

This too is even better second time around. The treatment of "Quiet village" is definitely appropriate to accompany a stripper - and so is "Sweet Leilani", would you believe? Lots of nice Plas in this one, too. But the overall message is pretty lounge, still, but with quirks. I bet TTK would go for this one.

Gerry Mulligan/Paul Desmond - BLUES IN TIME (Verve V-8478, MONO baby!)

Now that's impressive, to listen to a record at 2:30 in the morning, after the extremely loud Janiva Magness live concert!

[Royal Oak]

Charlie Parker "Yardbird" EP, bought earlier today.

After spending most of the past 4 weeks listening to 60s beat/pop/rock and a lot of "classical" music, it was very refreshing to hear some lo-fi bop.

[BillF]

Shorty Rogers, Portrait of Shorty (RCA)

[Leeway]

The more I listen to electric Miles, the more I dig it, the more it grows in my estimation.

Keeping the groove going, with a cool combination of Detroit jazz, funk, soul:

[Teasing the Korean]

Elisabeth Waldo - Rites of the Pagan - GNP Crescendo (stereo, orange label)

[BillF]

Shorty Rogers, Blues Express (RCA)

[Teasing the Korean]

Various - Black California - Savoy 70s twofer of Central Ave scene bebop, circa late 40s, early 50s (mono).

[BillF]

Shorty Rogers/Gerry Mulligan, Modern Sounds (Capitol/EMI)
