jeffcrom Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 Two very different flavors of vinyl so far tonight: Albert Ayler - Lorrach/Paris 1966 (Hat Art) Tony Parenti - Jazz Goes Underground (Jazzology) The New Orleans clarinetist with a bunch of Atlanta Dixielanders in 1969. I played some gigs with the drummer, Spider Ridgeway, when I was a young man, 30 years ago. Quote

mjazzg Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 How is that, Leeway? I enjoy Halvorsen's Firehouse and Cracklejob - does this compare? Quite an investment with UK shipment Quote
colinmce Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 I flap my gums about this band all the time, but I really do think this is one of the premier jazz albums of the 1980s. One of my favorite ever. Quote

Leeway Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 How is that, Leeway? I enjoy Halvorsen's Firehouse and Cracklejob - does this compare? Quite an investment with UK shipment I liked it quite a bit The interplay is quite good. The focus is on Halvorson really. In "Crackleknob," which I really love, the focus is divided with the wonderful Nate Woolley. Beautifully balanced effort but maybe more Nate's album than Mary's In "Saturn Sings," the addition of sax and trumpet gives a different flavor to things than in "Fever Dream." In "Fever Dream," the guitar is the center of the music. The sound is really excellent on the LPs. Quality vinyl and packaging. Note that it is a double LP set but there are only 3 sides. One other thing: some of the production was done in wild multi-colored vinyl, and some in regular black vinyl. Depending on what you want, you might check first before ordering. I guess you'll have to decide if worth the cost. But if you like Mary's work, I doubt you will be disappointed. Quote
Bill Nelson Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 Joe Ferrell - Moon Germs (CTI) One of the great CTI releases. 'Great Gorge' is a track best known by beat-heads. The buzz is justified, given the 11:43 of smoldering rhythm by Clarke and DeJohnette. Caveat: the Pete Turner photo montage is my nominee for CTI's most 'WTF' album cover. Quote

I agree that it's among the better CTI's. I like it better every time I spin it. Now for something completely different: The Klezmorim - Metropolis (Flying Fish) Quote

Get it if you have most of his stuff and still want more, as I did. Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 5, 2011 Report Posted October 5, 2011 Albert Ayler - Witches & Devils (Arista/Freedom). This 1964 recording (also known as Spirits) was the first fully mature Ayler album, and the 1975 reissue was the first Ayler album I owned. It's still as frightening and beautiful as the cover. Quote
