What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Paul Flaherty and Bill Nace, AN AIRLESS FIELD, Ecstatic Peace LP. I love Flaherty. Saw him and Wally Shoup (another fave) at The Stone a few months ago. Great, kick-ass performances. Does this album cover go in the sexiest LP cover category, or not?

[clifford_thornton]

Yeah, those are fine ones you've been listening to today!

Have had the Murray for many years and love it... got that Flaherty/Nace pretty recently.

Cool. Flaherty is disgracefully neglected. I especially dig his albums with Shoup and Chris Corsano. I like the earlier ones too with Randall Colbourne. Recently was able to buy a bunch of Flaherty's titles on the Tulpa label. Grab them if you see them!.

The lonely woman on the Atlantic/London cover was top model Sondra Peterson . Saw her a number of times when she was French jazz radio broadcaster (and director of Jazz Magazine) Daniel Filipacchi's companion. Filipacchi later headed Hachette Publications in France and the USA.

George Shearing Trio and Stephane Grappelli - "The Reunion"

Really nice reading of "The Folks Who Live On The Hill"

The Complete Sidney Bechet 'Volumes 1/2 (1932-1941)' (French RCA Jazz Tribune)

The album has an important and valid political point to make, but Carla Bley's endemic campiness and corny adaptation of traditional melodies really get in my way of enjoying the music, much of which is fine. A considerable roster of musicians here too.

Count Basie--Basie Jazz (Clef)

Monk - Underground

Always wondered who was on the cover. Amazing what one can learn here.
