John Carter - Echoes From Rudolph's (Ibedon) Hadn't listened to this for awhile - I was prompted by colinmce's thread to spin it tonight. It's really wonderful; the unaccompanied clarinet solo "Angles" is one of the best things I've ever heard from Carter, and some of the most impressive clarinet playing I've heard, period. It's not for the faint of heart in terms of the avant-garde, though.

My copy still has the folded insert sheet with Bobby Bradford's touching liner notes.

Excellent LP. Mine is at least as ringworn as the image you posted.

Midorikawa Keiki - Five Pieces of Cake - (Offbeat)

I love this date, but just have the Fresh Sounds CD. What's the gatefold like?

Inside pages have good liner notes by Ira Gitler plus two photos from the participants. Back cover has more photos (all by the great Lawrence N. Shustack) of the players plus one of Half Note chef Frank Canterino and one of Nat Hentoff digging the proceedings from the bar!

Stopped by one of my local record stores today and picked up some nice vinyl. The first three spins:

Chick Corea - The Song of Singing (Blue Note Liberty)

Al Grey with Billy Mitchell - Night Song (Argo mono)

Bill Jennings with Jack McDuff - Glide On (Prestige mono yellow/black label in a Status sleeve) Liner notes by Christiern. If The Magnificent Goldberg reads this - this was the record store where we spent an hour two years ago; I thought about you when I found this Bill Jennings record. If you don't have this one, I'll consider this payback for you snatching a gospel record I wanted from under my nose. :)

Another one of today's finds:

Art Hodes - Mostly Blues (Audiophile) I'm quite taken with this one, musically and sonically. This is a very early stereo record (recorded in December, 1957), and it sounds fabulous. Ewing Nunn, who owned Audiophile Records, was a recording genius. I've got a few of his records, and they all sound amazing. I suspect that if he had been interested in modern jazz, rather than traditional jazz/dixieland, he would be as famous as Rudy Van Gelder. The Audiophile catalog is now owned by George Buck and Jazzology.

Bought this one a few years back but never listened til now. Albam describes the program as more concert style than jazz and he's certainly right, but it's a nice listen indeed. Just goes to show how supreme musicians can elevate something that would've otherwise been sure syrup.

Abdullah Ibrahim - Ekaya (Home) (Ekapa)

that looks interesting, I've not exactly been bowled over by his piano style but that line up sounds promising

It's a really beautiful album, in my opinion. It was issued on CD by Blackhawk, but that issue seems to be as rare as the original vinyl - I've never come across a CD copy.
