My wife is out town doing Important Science Stuff, so I'm taking advantage of her absence, as I often do, to pull out the boxes of 45s and play them real loud. I just finished the stereo portion of the evening, all jazz-related:

Gold Sparkle Band - Plays 2 by Shipp (Nu) Great! With two of my close friends in the band.

Reptet - Angendacide (Monktail) Go Johnny E!

E. Parker MacDougal - Bitter Lemon/Foxxy Minor (Grits) With Steve McCall on drums.

Nathan Davis Sextet - Slave March/To Ursula With Love (Segue)

Charles Williams - Bacon Butter Fat/Please Send Me Someone to Love (Mainstream) With Bubba Brooks and Don Pullen on organ.

Dexter Gordon - Isn't She Lovely? (Columbia promo) Mono on one side/stereo on the other. Has this ever appeared on an album?

Rolling Stones - Waiting For a Friend/Little T & A (RS) I've always loved Sonny Rollin's playing on "Waiting For a Friend."

I just changed over to the mono cartridge. I'll post again, just in case you can't wait to find out what other 45s I spin.

The mono portion of tonight's 45 RPM festivities:

Leo Parker - Parker's Pals/Low Brown (BN)

Bunky Green - By the Time I Get to Phoenix/Sweet Inspiration (Met) This record is not listed in any discography that I've seen, and I've been unable to find out anything about it. There's no real improvisation - Bunky plays the tunes straight, with just a little embellishment. But it's Bunky Green, and it's pretty soulful.

John Handy - Lay Lady Lay/Spinning Wheel "Spinning Wheel" gets pretty out there.

Then gospel time:

Rev. Johnny L. Jones, "The Hurricane" - Let It Shine/Prayer #2 (Jewel)

Rev. Johnny L. Jones, "The Hurricane" - Prayer for the Elderly/I Came to Preach a Sermon(Jewel)

Blind Boys of Alabama - Something Got Hold of Me/Hop - Skip and Jump (Gospel [savoy subsidiary])

Blind Boys of Alabama - Our Revival Time/My God Can Do No Wrong (Gospel)

Bro. Sammie Cheatam - Candidate for Heaven/Troubles of the World (Gospel Souvineer [sic])

R & B:

Philip Upchurch Combo - You Can't Sit Down, parts 1 & 2 (Boyd) I'm not convinced that James Booker is the organist, as some have said.

James Booker - Gonzo/Cool Turkey (Peacock)

James Booker - Smacksie/Kinda Happy (Peacock)

Bill Sinigal and the Skyliners - Second Line, parts 1 & 2 (White Cliffs) A very influential record in New Orleans; pretty much unknown elsewhere. Personnel includes Milton Batiste, James Rivers and Ellis Marsalis.

Winding down with some jazz:

Sonny Red - Bluesville/Stay as Sweet as You Are (BN)

Freddie Roach - I Know/Googa Mooga (BN)

Jiri Stivin & Rudolf Dasek - System Tandem Koncert v Lublani Supraphon 1976

Jiri Stivin & Rudolf Dasek & Tony Scott- Rozhovory Supraphon 1981- joyful improv and some quite funny passages too. A surprise hit from the Oxfam shop.

Dasek plays mean guitar, I should know his name better than I do.

Great one - I just have a Fresh Sound LP of this (wish it was at least a legit Cadet, but oh well).

Mine's a real curiosity - 180 Gram Limited Edition Classic LP/Direct Metal Mastering, used for £5!

This Zoot fan from way back is the proud owner of the Argo original (with black labels). Love that album!

In a similar vein, now spinning:

Brew Moore 'If I Had You' (SteepleChase)

Nice stuff - I don't have the one with Scott, but I do have Koncert v Lublani and the Japo LP, both of which are great. Dasek is an amazing musician, and Stivin is just the "tits" as they say. Especially on the SHQ LPs. His Five Hits in a Row with Barre Phillips is also worth hearing.
