[jeffcrom]

Jackie McLean - Tippin' the Scales (BN, first issue from 1984)

[jeffcrom]

Kid Thomas - Sonnets From Algiers (Icon mono). I couldn't find an online picture of the original Icon issue, but this early Jazzology reissue is close - the Icon is black instead of blue. Two of my favorite new Orleans reedmen are on board - Paul Barnes on clarinet & Emanuel Paul on tenor sax.

Ellis Larkins 'Manhattan at Midnight' (Decca, mono)

[paul secor]

The Giuseppi Logan Quartet (ESP mono)

I was moved to play this - first time in over 40 years (bought it when it came out in 1965) - after reading the article on Giuseppi Logan in The New York Times on Sunday. I didn't expect much, since this record had never spoken to me before. For some reason, when I listened today, the music spoke to me in a strange way. It was as if I was able to enter into the peaceful wildness of it. Weird that after all this time I found a way into Giuseppi Logan's music - at least for today.

I love this post.

Just finished:

Jimmy Smith - Open House (BN Liberty stereo). Casual, all too easy, just another jam session - but still just incredibly beautiful.

Maarten Altena Quartet - Rondedans - (Claxon)

[brownie]

Eddy Louiss 'Histoire Sans Parole' (Goss)

[sidewinder]

R & J Kuhn 'Impressions of New York' (Impulse black/white promo)

Edited April 11, 2012 by sidewinder

[jeffcrom]

Johnny Hodges/Wild Bill Davis - Wings & Things (Verve stereo). Oddly enough, Davis does not even appear on three of the eight cuts. Hank Jones plays piano on those tracks, so I'm not complaining.

[brownie]

Gene Ammons 'Jammin' in Hi Fi' (OJC)

what a nice date this was!Should listen to it more often...

Playing a tune called "The Benefactor".

[jeffcrom]

Restless, unsettled, and in need of musical comfort food. So:

Dave Brubeck - Gone With the Wind (Columbia 6-eye stereo).

Duke Ellington - Ellington Indigos (Columbia 70's stereo pressing)

[jeffcrom]

Sam Musiker - Jewish Wedding Dances (Tikva mono). Wish I could find a picture of this wonderful cover - the second pressing of this great klezmer album from the 1950's. I found some pictures of the first cover, which is much less interesting.

[jeffcrom]

Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack (Clean Cuts). A gift from a friend. I've said it before here - Mac Rebennack is a national treasure.

[sidewinder]

Wayne Shorter 'Odyssey of Iska' (BN Liberty blue/white, stereo)

Under-rated !
