Leeway Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Andrew Hill: Smokestack. Blue Note. With Eddie Khan, Richard Davis, Roy Haynes. Everybody is "all in" on their playing on this album. Davis is killer on this. Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Coleman Hawkins (Crown) With Thad Jones, Eddie Costa, George Duvivier and Osie Johnson. Fabulous! Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 George Girard and His New Orleans Five (Imperial 10") A really nice album from 1954 and 55. I can't find a picture online, and no discographer seems to know who is on this on, besides the brilliant, ill-fated trumpeter himself. Lord thinks it might be Raymond Burke on clarinet, but it ain't. It sounds like the great Harry Shields to me, and on one track Girard encourages "Brother Harold" before the reed solo. Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Out Came the Blues (MCA) Memphis Minnie, The Lone Wolf, Georgia White, Kokomo Arnold, Red Nelson with Cripple Clarence Lofton, Trixie Smith, Johnnie Temple, Scrapper Blackwell, Rosetta Crawford and Peetie Wheatstraw.

BillF Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Coleman Hawkins (Crown) With Thad Jones, Eddie Costa, George Duvivier and Osie Johnson. Fabulous! Haven't herad that one since the 60s, but remember it as a winner. Was on Prestige IIRC. Quote

Clunky Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Cecil Taylor- Live in the Black Forrest - MPS- (Germany). Stunning really. Sounds immense, almost too exciting. Lyons sounding particularly fine but it's a great group effort. Quote
Clunky Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Billy Taylor at the London House HMV UK - elegant playing by the trio, just the right side of sentimentality , nice in small doses. Quote
Clunky Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 next up Tone Jansa Patterns Helidon- Yugoslavia 1979- sax quartet with the leader tenor & soprano sax and flute. Big band added to one number. Modal pieces in the main with good variety of pacing between the tracks Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Cecil Taylor- Live in the Black Forrest - MPS- (Germany). Stunning really. Sounds immense, almost too exciting. Lyons sounding particularly fine but it's a great group effort. I love the tension that Ronald Shannon Jackson brought to that group. He's playing free, but always manages to sound like he's on the verge of breaking into funk rhythms. Quote
Leeway Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 I played this yesterday, and thought I posted it too, but seems to have disappeared. Anyway, dedicated to Ice Cube and Mr. Eames: Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 19, 2012 Report Posted January 19, 2012 The Three Sounds - It Just Got to Be (BN New York mono) Urbie Green - All About Urbie Green (ABC/Paramount) I think it was Chuck Nessa who pointed out in another thread that John Carisi wrote most of the charts on this record; that was what motivated me to pick this up when I spotted a copy.

paul secor Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Johnny Griffin: Live in Japan (Philips Japan) The unaccompanied solo section on "All the Things You Are" is one of Mr. Griffin's finest recorded moments. Quote
BillF Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 George Russell 'Ezz-thetics' (Riverside/Fontana Holland, mono) Yes, a remarkable record. Was listening to it yesterday on YouTube, where nearly all of its tracks are now available in full. Quote

JohnS Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Booker Ervin 'Down In the Dumps' (Savoy/RCA Germany) Thanks for reminder Brownie. One I've not played for while, just pulled off my shelf and plying now. Mine's a US Arista. As usual with Arista/Savoys it comes with a useful liner note. Edited January 20, 2012 by JohnS Quote

sidewinder Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Billy Taylor at the London House HMV UK - elegant playing by the trio, just the right side of sentimentality , nice in small doses. Same pressing as my copy. Cost me a couple of quid - must dig it out. Ronnie Scott 'Scott At Ronnies' (UK RCA, stereo) Quote
