wolff Posted April 2, 2005 Author Report Posted April 2, 2005 The Shins: Chutes Too Narrow (Sub-Pop) John Jenkins Blue Note 1573 (Classic Records) What a great cover. Has entered my top 10 of BN covers. Seeing it reproduced with such gloss and richness of color and expense is a great touch. Dizzy Reece: Star Bright (Classic Records) Quote
sidewinder Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Agree with you about the 'John Jenkins' cover. I have a nice Toshiba of that one. Just spinning the 'Wally Edition' Pete La Roca 'Basra'. Sounds pretty good, he did a nice job on this one. Followed up with Jackie McLean 'Bluesnik' 47W63rd deepgroove side 2 (one of my favourites) and Grant Green 'Gratstand' mono original, with some very nice Yusef Lateef. Then another Wally. Wayne Shorter 'Etcetera'. Quote
1ngram Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra Vol 1. I remember hearing this first almost 30 years ago, I think, in a coal celler turned into a basement flat. It sounded weird as hell then and no matter how many times I play it I still get the same frisson. I just know there is a tune in there somewhere and every now and again I get the merest hint of it but what the hell, they sound as if they are having a wonderful time anyway. Quote

1ngram Posted April 2, 2005 Report Posted April 2, 2005 The Band - Greatest Hits compilation then Byrd Greatest Hits compilation. Actually I'm cheating, played them on cassette copied from vinyl in the car. Every click and scratch from years of vinyl playing faithfully reproduced. Quote

patricia Posted April 4, 2005 Report Posted April 4, 2005 "Our Man In Hollywood" - Henry Mancini. Great version of "Walk On The Wild Side" which featured a kick-ass tenor sax. Rivals Jimmy Smith's. "Ted Heath and his Music" - compilation of Heath's various performances at various venues, including the Palladium, Carnegie Hall, and the Spotlight on Sidemen series. This is a promotion record, used by radio and TV stations. "It's So Good" - Earl Grant Soundtrack from "Crossroads", the film which starred Ralph Macchio [Karate Kid]. The music was Ry Cooder and was great Delta Blues. Quote

patricia Posted April 6, 2005 Report Posted April 6, 2005 (edited) Salute to Newport - 2 record set [1962 on Impulse. Originally on Dot for Russell and on ABC for Wein] - Side 1 + 2 features Pee Wee Russell, my favourite clarinet player of all time. - Side 3 = 4 features George Wein and the Newport All-Stars. FABULOUS, if you like Russell and Wein, and I DO like Russell and Wein. Edited April 6, 2005 by patricia Quote
