What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Leeway]

A terrific date. Mal gets the cover to himself, but Steve Lacy and crew are in high gear. The drummer on this gig is Noel McGhie. Played with Waldron, Noah Howard, Clifford Thornton. Apparently still active. Has a 2010 album out with Francois Tusques. Really did not know much about him until I looked him up, although I know I've heard him on the Thornton and Howard gigs. He works well with Lacy and company. America LP:

Woody Shaw bandmate and protege, Carter Jefferson. The album shows the Shavian influence, especially in the harder-charging pieces.

McGhee is still active indeed and appears with François Tusques regularly!

Now listening to:

Gill Fuller & the Monterey Jazz Festival Orchestra 'Featuring Dizzy Gillespie' (PacificJazz, stereo)

Dolphy always seems to be the hippest guy in the room. He is terrific on "Round Midnight."

Jelly Roll Morton: The Gennett Piano Solos 1923-24 (Swaggie)

Does anyone here have an opinion on how the Retrieval CD compares to the Swaggie LP? John R.T. Davies remastered the Swaggie and I believe he did the Retrieval. Wondering how he used filtering on the CD. I'd stick with the LP but the CD has 6 extra tracks.

Did a search here but couldn't find anything close to definitive.

The cd is a reissue of an lp on Fountain. I'm sure the transfers are the same. Four of the extra tracks are from Brunswick/Vocalion. Not sure which other tracks are missing on your lp.

Milt Jackson & Ray Charles 'Soul Brothers' (Atlantic, mono, black label)

Thanks, Chuck. Just checked a discography and I'm missing eight early solo tracks recorded for labels other than Gennett. Probably worth it to pick up the Retrieval CD for those.

Max Roach: Solos (Baystate Japan)

Warne Marsh - Warne Out (Interplay, 1979)

Only image I could find of the LP cover.

Onto John Carter - Dance of the Love Ghosts (Grammavision, 1986)

[JohnS]

Just finished the Complete Freddie Redd on Blue Note.

Dexter Gordon; Clubhouse. Blue Note (Rainbow) - I didn't know that Ben Tucker replaced Cranshaw on one track. Nothing to indicate that on this issue.

Next on

Grant Green; Solid. Blue Note (Rainbow)

A fitting tribute to bandmate and friend, Johnny Mbizo Dyani. Ogun LP.

[brownie]

Bud Shank 'At Jazz Alley' (Contemporary)

[JohnS]

Euro issue, auto coupled, no titles listed, presumably the same as the US issue

Discussd elsewhere, thought it deserved a play.

[Leeway]

Q. Where did the name Odwalla come from? A. In a musical piece titled Illistrum by the jazz group Art Ensemble of Chicago, Odwalla is a mythical leader who guides the "people of the sun" out of the "gray haze."

Never just an album, always an experience.

Paul Bley/Jimmy Giuffre/Bill Connors - Quiet Song (Improvising Artists). An old favorite.

Hank Mobley 'The Turnaround!' (BN/King)

Hank Mobley 'The Turnaround!' (BN/King)

Lovely! At one time the CD held my record for overpayment - £21 at HMV! "Those were the days" isn't always the watchword where record buying is concerned.

[colinmce]

Vienna Art Orchestra - From No Time to Ragtime (Hat Hut, 1983)

The whole album is a marvel, but the admission is most surely paid by the Braxton piece.

£21 for a CD !! No wonder the whole kaboosh fell apart. Come to think of it, I can remember the time when most CDs here were £16-17 or thereabouts and that was for non-imports too.

If that is the first Blue Note 'Turnaround' CD reissue I think I paid about $12 Cdn plus tax for it at Sam The Record Man ie. about $15. £7-8 at the time, a veritable bargain !

I bought it in 1993 when, IIRC, £13 was a typical jazz CD price.
