What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[brownie]

Tal Farlow 'Fuerst Set' to be followed by 'Second Set' (Xanadu).

Should start with side B of the Second Set with its extraordinary piano solo by Eddie Costa but am spinning this in the proper order.

Leith Stevens 'Jazz Themes from The Wild One' (Spanish Decca)

Superb West Coast music album with a beautiful photo of Marlon Brando on its cover.

The album kicks off with the sound of a motorcycle roar onto the music from the Laslo Benedek film.

here's that Brando cover:

CD looks like this (Bear Family):

never heard it, did like the Cops & Robbers by Stevens

Sam Rivers - Streams, Live at Montreux

[paul secor]

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers: Originally (Columbia)

[paul secor]

Everybody Knows Johnny Hodges (Impulse/Jasmine)

It was a pleasure to listen to this again, and a special pleasure to listen to Harry Carney's extended (for him, anyway) solo on "I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart".

Couw, the Wild One album I have has the Brando photo at top.

I think the music is much better - from a strictly jazz point of view - than the Cops and Robbers music.

Another interesting Leith Stevens score is the one he wrote for the Don Siegel film 'Private Hell 36. Spanish Decca also released that music via Fresh Sounds - obviously authorized by Decca - on an LP that added the 'Cops and Robbers' sides.
