What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[brownie]

Teddy Edwards 'Heart & Soul' (Contemporary, stereo, dark green labels)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Taft Jordan Plays Duke Ellington: Mood Indigo!!! (Prestige/Moodsville/Status mono). Just finished spinning a wonderful album I was not even aware of until a couple of hours ago, when I found it in an Atlanta record store. Jordan plays Ellington with Kenny Burrell, Richard Wyands, Joe Benjamin, and Charlie Persip - very nice. My copy is a typical Prestige hybrid - Status labels and a Moodsville cover.

The CD version (heresy here on the vinyl thread?) adds a second recording - The Swingville All-Stars - with Taft Jordan, Hilton Jefferson, Al Sears, Don Abney, Wendell Marshall, and Gus Johnson - a nice addition. I remember that Joe hipped me to this, perhaps back on the old BN Board, when I was looking to hear more Hilton Jefferson.

I'm sure I must have known about this, but never heard any of it. Must get it. Is the CD actually listed as by 'The Swingville All-Stars' or by one of the participants?

Albert Ayler: Prophecy (ESP)

Provided me with a reminder of how big his sound was.

[Chuck Nessa]

Amazed to find the cd "out of reach". I burned my record to cdr.

Recorded by Chris Strachwicz and later reissued on Arhoolie CDs.

Hal McKusick - Cross Section-Saxes (Decca stereo). R.I.P.

[brownie]

Jim Hall 'Live in Tokyo' (Paddlewheel)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Just finsished: Jane Ira Bloom - Mighty Lights

Now playing: Coleman Hawkins - Blues Groove (actually led by Tiny Grimes). One of Prestige's "Elecronically remastered for stereo" which actually doesn't sound too far from the original mono, unlike many of the horrible Blue Note LPs where this was attempted.

Marion Brown - Duets (Arista Freedom). Sides 3 & 4: "Soundways" with Elliott Schwartz. I was struck by how much "compositional" Marion Brown's improvising sounds that composer Schwartz's.

[kh1958]

Darktown Strutters Ball (Prestige, Swingville, red label)

[clifford_thornton]

Siegfried Kessler/Barre Phillips/Steve McCall - Live at the Gill's Club - (Futura)

Jim Hall 'Live in Tokyo' (Paddlewheel)

Looks suspiciously similar to a certain Japanese Grant Green cover !

Jazz for a Sunday Afternoon, Volume 1 (Solid State). Dizzy, Ray Nance, Pepper Adams, Chick Corea, Richard Davis, Mel Lewis, & Elvin Jones, 1967. Pretty cool.

I Like Jazz! (Columbia "pre-eye" mono)

Musicbox made an interesting post about this album in a Dave Brubeck thread sometime back, and I've kept my eye open for it since. It's an amusing survey of jazz history, at least up to 1954. Several of the tracks, like Brubeck's "Makin' Time" and Pete Rugolo's "4:20 Blues," are still difficult to find anywhere else.

(Donald, come back and post more often!)

Hal McKusick - Jazz Workshop (RCA Victor mono). What a brilliant album.
