jeffcrom Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 George Girard - Stompin' at the Famous Door (Vik mono). Girard was a talented New Orleans Dixieland trumpeter. This album has one of my favorite New Orleans clarinetists, Harry Shields, but also, unfortunately, Paul Edwards on drums - he turns every tune into over-the-top Bourbon Street dixieland. Girard is a little over the top himself at times, but mostly sounds fiery and imaginative. I can only imagine how he would have sounded with a little more maturity - seven months after this album was recorded, he was dead of cancer at age 26.

king ubu Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) since me ol'Lenco's workin' fine today (it's got speed issues now and then), it's been an all vinyl day today - pretty broad programme of music: Arthur Doyle Electro-Acoustic Ensemble - Live in Nashville & Louisville François Jeanneau - Techniques Douces The Lee Konitz Nonet (Chiaroscuro) Stan Kenton - Back to Balboa Golden Vibes - Lionel Hampton with Rhythm and Reeds Silver Vibes - Lionel Hampton with Trombones and Rhythm Inside Sauter-Finegan Erroll Garner - Paris Impressions McCoy Tyner - Supertrios Ornette Coleman - Skies of America The Garner contains a great harpsichord piece! And the Doyle is surprisingly good! (edited for spellink) Edited July 3, 2011 by king ubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Miles Davis 'Bitches Brew' (Dutch orange label CBS orig., stereo).

jeffcrom Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Artie Shaw - The Sideman Years (Sounds of Swing). Some well-known sides here, but also quite a few unusual rarities. I particularly like the 1934 Wingy Mannone date with Bud Freeman, Dickie Wells, and Jelly Roll Morton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 The Holy Modal Rounders: The Moray Eels Eat the Holy Modal Rounders (Elektra/Sundazed) A prime example of an album recorded under the influence. I'm a HMR fan and I'll keep this record - it's actually fun to listen to in limited doses - but I'm sure I'll play others of theirs more than this one.

jeffcrom Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 The World of Duke Ellington, Volume 3 (Columbia) Beautiful music; this series was really over-processed, but a mono cartridge makes it much more listenable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 And now for a change of pace Ace ! This one took quite some time to grow on me. It really is an ace . I've got a TOCJ CD, a Toshiba vinyl and a Liberty RVG pressing - I like it so much. FWIW the Liberty just edges the Toshiba but in reality the CD is also just fine sounding.

Lyttelton and Wally Fawkes also sound good. One of the first jazz records I bought - in 1957! By the time I got to see Lyttelton play he was infuriating the "traddies" by playing superb Kansas City jazz with a saxophone section of Tony Coe, Jimmy Skidmore and Joe Temperley. I saw them on a tour with Jimmy Rushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
