six string Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Walt Dickerson - Shades of Love (Steeplechase direct-to-disc). A stunning solo performance, in equally amazing sound. I've never seen that one before. I just found a copy of Life Rays on SteepleChase but that looks like another one I need. I love his playing and I just discovered him four or five years ago so I have a lot of catching up to do.

Chuck Nessa Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Evan Parker - Saxophone Solos (Incus). I was questioning myself after a concert by a free-improv saxophone player recently left me cold. This record reminds me that yes, there is a real difference between the pedestrian and the inspired. Fine recording. edit to ask about the player giving you doubts. Edited March 30, 2012 by Chuck Nessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack (Clean Cuts) Pretty good record. Would have been even better if Mac hadn't vocalised on "The Nearness of You". The man cannot sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Louis Smith - Just Friends (Steeplechase) 1978 EDIT: For such a nice looking record, it sure plays with a lot of rice crispies. How can such a nice looking record play so badly? It's records like this that give vinyl a bad rep.

Would have been even better if Mac hadn't vocalised on "The Nearness of You". The man cannot sing. I haven't heard that track, so my comments are general, not specific to that cut. I couldn't disagree more - I love Mac Rebennack's voice. I've always wished I was a better singer, but the kind of voice I would want is more like Dr. John than Frank Sinatra. I do agree that his voice is perhaps not well suited to ballads - or at least, better suited to blues and R & B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that his voice is perhaps not well suited to ballads - or at least, better suited to blues and R & B. We agree to disagree. I've always felt that there were dozens of singers in New Orleans who could put him to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Red Norvo - In Stereo (RCA Victor). This one just makes me feel good - 1958 recordings of Red and a big band playing his old Eddie Sauter arrangements, with Helen Humes in the Mildred Bailey role.

Clunky Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Jan Fryderyk Dobrowolski The Art Of Improvisation (Muza) Poland- this pianist has technique to spare, lilting melodies give way to some pounding of the ivories. In places reminds me of Cecil Taylor but really the music is much more meoldic. Myra Melford perhaps might be a better choice. Interesting anyway, Nicely recorded too. Louis Smith - Just Friends (Steeplechase) 1978 EDIT: For such a nice looking record, it sure plays with a lot of rice crispies. How can such a nice looking record play so badly? It's records like this that give vinyl a bad rep. Pity , I've had a few sub optimal Steeplechases which looked ok but didn't sound that way. Criss Cross vinyl is worse for hit/miss vinyl in my experience. Edited March 31, 2012 by Clunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Subways Are for Sleeping (Columbia Masterworks mono) Found this hidden away on my shelves. I bought it when I was 16 and was searching out new (for me) musical genres. My interest in Broadway musicals didn't last long and I probably hadn't played this in 48 or 49 years. It was fun listening to it after all this time, and it was interesting to hear how Broadway has changed. Even a show like this one, which wasn't a hit and supposedly barely recovered its costs had more tuneful melodies and wittier lyrics than just about anything new these days.
