Dadawah - Peace And Love (Wild Flower/Dug Out)

[jostber]

V.A. - I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore (Mississippi)

[Royal Oak]

Grant Green - His Majesty King Funk (Verve/Sundazed Reissue)

That album always reminds me of my dad, who had a copy. As a 7/8 year old, the title always seemed a little strange to me.

[clifford_thornton]

Joshua Abrams - Natural Information - (Eremite)

[jeffcrom]

Chick Corea/Miroslav Vitous/Roy Haynes - Trio Music (ECM) I know that some hear don't like the "ECM sound," but jeez - what a great-sounding couple of hunks of vinyl. The improvised pieces on record one are more compelling than the renditions of Monk tunes on the second disc, in my opinion.

[sidewinder]

'Duke Ellington Meets Coleman Hawkins' (HMV, mono)

[kh1958]

Herbie Hancock--The Prisoner (Blue Note, Liberty blue and white)

[jeffcrom]

Pee Wee Russell - Plays Pee Wee (Stereo-o-Craft) Love this album.

[kh1958]

Red Allen--Ride Red Ride in Hi Fi (RCA)

Freddie McCoy --Peas 'N Rice (Prestige, blue label)

[kh1958]

The copy of Ride Red Ride that I recently acquired has a number of autographs on it. Two are by musicians who appear on the LP--Cozy Cole and Buster Bailey.

There are a few more that are recognizable--Gene Ramey, Hal Singer, and Sol Yaged.

And three more names that I'm not familiar with: Al Williams, Joly Rae (?), and Freddy Boute (a drummer? Since he drew a drum set underneath his signature).

[BillF]

Tadd Dameron, Dameronia (Prestige)

[jostber]

Champion Jack Dupree - Blues From The Gutter (Atlantic reissue)

[paul secor]

Champion Jack Dupree - Blues From The Gutter (Atlantic reissue)

Probably my favorite Jack Dupree - w. Larry Dale, Pete Brown, Wendell Marshall, & Willie Jones. The last recording he made before he moved to Europe.

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis: Jaw's Blues (Enja)

Fine, later (1981) live session with very good blowing by Lockjaw and the rhythm section - Horace Parlan, Reggie Johnson, and Alvin Queen.

[jeffcrom]

George Adams, Hannibal & Friends - More Sightings (Enja) The friends include John Scofield and Ron Burton. This is not the record I'd take to a desert island to represent any of these guys, but it's a decent club date.

Miles' BIG FUN. It is!

I always liked that one, warts and all. I have all the "metal spine" box sets, but I kept my vinyl Big Fun, since the originally released version of "Go Ahead John" hasn't appeared anywhere else.

Really ? How does the vinyl version differ from the version on the Big Fun CD ?

I misspoke - I should have said that the originally released edit of "Go Ahead John" doesn't appear in the Complete Jack Johnson box. I assume that the CD version of Big Fun uses the same edit.

[jeffcrom]

Spencer Clark and his Bass Sax Play Sweet & Hot (Audiophile) A 1978 album by the guy who replaced Adrian Rollini in the California Ramblers back in the 1920s. It's a pleasant, undemanding record, which is what I needed tonight.

[sidewinder]

The last recording he made before he moved to Europe.

Wasn't it to somewhere crazy like Halifax, West Yorks that he ended up living? Astonishing !
