What vinyl are you spinning right now??

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:

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

Now listening to:

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.

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.

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)

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. :)

£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.
