What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Clunky]

Billy Butler "this is billy butler" Prestige

Low tempo soul jazz set, not half bad too

[Royal Oak]

Stones - Let It Bleed.

Felt good to hear this again, reminded me of nice times.

My favourite Stones album. Great cover art too..

[Teasing the Korean]

Martin Denny/Si Zentner/Les Baxter - Exotica Suite - Liberty (mono)

[jeffcrom]

Two slightly different big band records:

Stan Kenton - Birthday in Britain (Creative World)

Globe Unity Orchestra - Improvisations (JAPO)

[BillF]

Bob Cooper/Bill Holman, Group Activity (Capitol/Affinity)

[Clunky]

Harry Edison- Just Friends- (Black and Blue).

As ever with Black and Blue, very well recorded mainstream material from some masters of the genre. In this case Sweets and Lockjaw. B & B vinyls always seems to be very reliable with excellent pressings and sound. No real earth shattering titles but plenty to enjoy.

Mel Rhyne 'Organ-izing' Jazzland, mono)

with Blue Mitchell and Johnny Griffin

I was checking this out on the listening station at my local dealer and the organ playing didn't do much for me so I decided against it. Did I make a mistake?

Not a great fan of Mel Rhyne either but that album is pretty good with Blue Mitchell and Griffin in fine spirits!

Thanks, Mr. Griffin is what made me want to check it out. The want list is long and the dollars are limited so some have to get left in the bins.

Just picked a copy of Mel Rhyne Organ-izing Jazzland (Mono). Pretty decent session, curious mix of piano and hammond. I'd tend to agree that the Griff and Blue are the real attractions here, but that shouldn't take anything away from the leader who plays just fine.

[sidewinder]

Neil Ardley/Ian Carr/Stan Tracey et al 'Will Power' (UK Argo 2LP, stereo). A mix of proto-Azimuth with Nucleus-ish sections.

Interrupted halfway through to catch a minute of Kermit Ruffins and Trombone Shorty with the Dave Matthews Band during the Saints/Vikings pregame show. I don't care anything about Dave Matthews, but I likes me some Kermit and Shorty.
