jeffcrom Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Onward Brass Band - Last Journey of a Jazzman, Vol. 1 (Nobility). This is a pretty amazing document. The great New Orleans recording engineer Cosimo Matassa carried a fifty-pound "portable" tape recorder for two hours and recorded the great Onward Brass Band playing the funeral of pianist Lester Santiago in 1965. The music is amazing, but is marred by an overdubbed commentary by Grayson Clark, who ran Dixieland Hall - Nobility was the label associated with that venue, which was opened to compete with Preservation Hall. No matter - it's an amazing document. Edited September 13, 2011 by jeffcrom Quote
BillF Posted September 13, 2011 Report Posted September 13, 2011 Coleman Hawkins (Crown). A good one, with Thad Jones and Eddie Costa. Visually, it's near mint, but it's a pretty crappy pressing. (Surprise!) Dickie Wells/Joe Turner/Teddy Weatherford - Swing Sessions 1 1937/1939 (EMI/Pathe) Great to see that Hawkins album again! Last saw it in the 60s and remember it as good. Quote

I thought you were a million miles away! Pre-digitized and iPod-stuffed long before my trip. I probably cheated in posting it to the vinyl thread, but I still think of it as vinyl, even when I'm listening on my iPod. Quote

Didn't know about the Leo reissue, but your vinyl copy is still probably rare. Reissued by Leo Records as "Live in Milano" Recorded live in Milano, August 1980 Recording licensed from "Praxis". Original LP "Among the People" The song titles on the original LP were incorrect: Tutankhamun [Among The People] Illinstrun [shango King] A Jackson In Your House [Choosing A Cracker] Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Spinning "Kind Of Blue" on blue vinyl from the Legacy box set. It's OK but not enough of an improvement over the CD to make it a "must have". The only reason I got it was because I paid $25 for it during one of Barnes & Noble's crazy 75% off sales back around Christmas. Quote

Perhaps not the most essential AEOC record. Quote
