king ubu Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 "Dixieland" featuring Ben Pollack and his Pick-A-Rib Boys (Savoy MG-12090) Can't find a cover scan anywhere... my first original Savoy LP, for sure, and a nice one, too! Great Teagarden feature on "Mighty Like a Rose"! Quote

king ubu Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 Woody Herman - Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet Very enjoyable quartet date with Woody on clarinet exclusively (and no singing), accompanied by Nat Pierce, Chuck Andrus and the great Gus Johnson. Guess that one's another original? Looks exactly like the above, the number (right side in the small printing in the white bar at the bottom) is "PHM 200-004". This one was even cheaper than the Ellington & Coltrane... and I could pick up "Encore" dirt cheap, but with cover in just so-so shape... and I have the Mosaic Select... should I still reconsider and get the LP?)Here's one more and better pic: Quote

The Mosaic Select is just fine. I'ld skip the vinyl with a so-so cover! Now spinning.. Tubby Hayes 'For Members Only' (Miles Music) Edited July 27, 2011 by brownie Quote
king ubu Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 OK, thanks - it's not sane to buy everything on vinyl and CD anyway... but I might go for the wonderful gatefold of Ellington's "New Orleans Suite" - it's a bit pricey but in perfect condition (about the price of 5 cups of coffee... for which you'd have to pay around 20€ now, but to me, it feels less pricey as the € and everything else is worth sh*t now... or rather, the Swiss frank is way overpriced...)

sidewinder Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 it's not sane to buy everything on vinyl and CD anyway... You are doing quite well on this front. or rather, the Swiss frank is way overpriced...) It used to be just astronomical. Now it is mythical ! Quote
king ubu Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 or rather, the Swiss frank is way overpriced...) It used to be just astronomical. Now it is mythical ! I can get Mosaic sets for about half the price I could get them in the worst days... but I've still got a few unheard ones. And I don't think the US$ will be worth considerably more too soon... Quote
sidewinder Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) And I don't think the US$ will be worth considerably more too soon... Maybe time to get a Mosaic order in on debt default day? Edited July 27, 2011 by sidewinder Quote
king ubu Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 'merikan politicians are all out of their minds! No money for Mosaic now, sorry... spent way too much on vinyl and all the crazy CD summer sales that are going on (amazon.de and amazon.fr... co.uk has some crazy offers going on, too...) Quote

TWilson Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Bought this for $1.50. Don't know anything about it but it has Clark Terry and King Curtis on it. So I figured they had to be worth 75c each. Quote

jeffcrom Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 Black Bands in Paris 1929-1930 (French Pathe). This is Volume 2 of the four-LP Le Jazz en France series. Lots of the stuff on these records is of more historical than musical interest, but it's all pretty interesting. The best tracks on this one are by Sam Wooding and His Orchestra, with Doc Cheatham, Albert Wynn, and Gene Sedric on board. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 28, 2011 Report Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Paddock Jazz Band - 1953 (Biograph) This is basically Papa Celestin's band after his death, with Alvin Alcorn, a New Orleans trumpeter I've always like, in place of Celestin. It's always amazing and moving to me to hear recordings of those jazz musicians who were there at the beginning - the legendary clarinetist Alphonse Picou was born in 1878, only a year after Buddy Bolden, and he sounds great here, with his old-fashioned Creole style. Edit: I was wrong - Papa Celestin died in 1954. I'm not sure why Alcorn is on trumpet rather than Celestin. But I'll add that this is possibly the best example of Alphone Picou's playing on record. It doesn't swing like we're used to, but it's probably what jazz clarinet was really like around 1900. Edited July 28, 2011 by jeffcrom Quote

paul secor Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Don Ellis 'Essence' (PacificJazz, mono) What's your take, brownie? I like some early Ellis - New Ideas, Out of Nowhere - never got into How Time Passes. His later stuff has no interest for me. I know that Essence is earlier, but I've never heard it so I'm interested in your opinion. Quote

I like those early Don Ellis appearances (especially those with George Russell, and also with Mingus) and 'Essence' is an album that stands out very well. Won't say the same with the later stuff. Not a fan of his big band! Edited July 29, 2011 by brownie Quote

Now I just have to find a place for it in the long queue of recordings I want to get. Quote

jeffcrom Posted July 30, 2011 Report Posted July 30, 2011 Frank Sinatra/Duke Ellington - Francis A. & Edward K. (Reprise). A nice enough album, but it should have been a great one. Only one Ellington tune, and it's far from his best. It's nice to hear Johnny Hodges, Cootie Williams, and Paul Gonsalves playing the solos on a Sinatra record, though. Quote
