Leeway Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I read an old interview with Herb Hancock (reprinted in one of those anniversary issues of Downbeat), where he says it was Miles who got him to play electric piano; in fact, it was on the recording session for "MIles in the Sky." According to Herbie, he came to the session; Miles pointed to an electric piano, and told him to play it. Terrific session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Sleepy John Estes - The Tennessee Jug Busters: Broke and Hungry (Delmark) Haven't pulled that fine one out in a while. Nor the Wallin above. I need to dig back into some of these LPs again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to play the "Filles" session again to make the comparison. It's another great session, but I have to give the nod to "Miles in the Sky, if only by a smidgen.

jeffcrom Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Lord Kitchener - Kitch '67 (Trinidadian RCA) "Take You' Meat Out My Rice...." Another spin of this one. "Take You' Meat Out My Rice" is still my favorite song here. The cover of my copy is almost the same as the one pictured here, but it has an older-looking RCA Victor logo, not the 70's-style logo, and doesn't say "International Series," since it's the original Trinidadian issue.

Yes, I like that track, too. I found it terribly interesting that the Barbadian accent Kitch imitates on this song sounds like the British west country accent.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 great cover! He has his arm around a different lady on the reverse - a lady of his own generation; quite likely his missus. So on the front I'd guess it's his daughter. This morning's vinyl was Les McCann & Teddy Edwards - It's about time - PJ (Fontana UK mono) Les McCann & Clifford Scott - Out front - PJ stereo I really wish EMI had reissued these two wonderful LPs on a twofer CD. Maybe Fresh Sound will do it next year, when 'Out Front' goes out of copyright. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Hank Mobley - A Slice of the Top (BN Classic "Rainbow"). A beautiful thing. Whenever I listen to one of the Blue Note sessions which was not released at the time, I always wonder why it was held back. I can hear why this one was withheld - there are a few musical flaws - when Howard Johnson is really blowing, he goes sharp, and there is some really sloppy playing behind the trumpet solo on the title tune. And there's something weird going on technically - the recording level goes up and down during Lee Morgan's solos. But so what - this album is a beautiful thing.

jeffcrom Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Kid Howard's New Orleans Band - Sam Morgan Re-Visited (Jazzology). This album is fabulous, musically, and it means a lot to me personally. This was one of two records I bought on my first visit to Preservation Hall, many years ago, when they had a bin of records in the carriageway. A group of musicians was assembled in 1962 to record the music of the great Sam Morgan band, which recorded in New Orleans in 1927. Two of them, Andrew Morgan and Jim Robinson, were on the 1927 sides, and most of the others played with Morgan later. The six issued tracks as hot and exciting as the originals, although they lack some of the sweetness and eloquence of the older recordings. The LP is filled out with four 1960 tracks by Kid Thomas Valentine's Algiers Stompers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains one of my favourite Mobley sessions . good charts and instrumentation different from the usual post-sidewinder fare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Picked this up as JSngry seemed to rate it highly and I can see what he means. It's really an MOR album of sweet tunes but just with an extra edge. It's no lost masterpiece but it doens't outstay its welcome on the turntable.

Just found it... will post a list over in the other thread... nice one, got my copy in Paris a year or two ago , it was one of a very few LPs that didn't seem incredibly expensive. It was some place near the University. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I paid about 5€ for a copy that looks virtually unplayed (and the cover untouched). Those Carrère-thingies, are they any goodd? Sometimes they're priced rather highly at that used-bookstore where I buy much of my LPs... I stood away mostly from them so far, because of the prices (got the BN Town Hall thingie though!).

king ubu Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Absolutely love the three-part version of "Soft and Furry"! Great tune for... uhm... a great thing But what kind of allusion is "Honey Bucket"? Gee, bucket!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if my point was clear - it's that the flaws are there, but ultimately unimportant. This is one of my favorite Mobleys also.
