J R Monterose - Straight Ahead. Xanadu Gold

Sounds fine to me except for some mild distortion. An excellent record.

A twofer that included live concerts and broadcasts (including the ones with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie) from the 1953-1955 era.

Lee Konitz - Very Cool (Japanese Verve/Polydor). Chosen partly as a memorial for Don Ferrara, who plays beautifully here. And I love the Sal Mosca/Peter Ind/Shadow Wilson rhythm section.

Yes, Jeff, that's a nice one! :tup

I wasn't aware of this one. One to get. Thanks Brownie.

Les Baxter - Master of the World OST - VJ (rainbow, mono)

Les Baxter - Barbarian! - AIP (mono)

Bet those are neat! He did some cool scores.

"Master of the World" is Baxter in his more grandiose, melodic mode, sort of along the lines of his Capitol album "Space Escapade," but with more drama and spectacle.

"Barbarian" is closer to the exotica albums but it doesn't quite sound like those. There is a march that shows up at the beginning and end that is kind of annoying (I'm not into military scores), but the rest of it has an impressionistic exotic sound.

Since upgrading my turntable I've played almost nothing but vinyl- some amazing sonic revelations..Now I'm back to normal listening and enjoying vinyl like never before

Sonny Rollins - Volume 2 - BN NYC- perhaps slightly overlooked in Sonny's output , perhaps it is a shade behind the likes of VV, Newk's Time etc

You're right, Clunky. This one used to be really major in my youth - hear of it rarely now. Really stellar line-up - Horace Silver, Monk, J J, Art Blakey IIRC.
