JohnS Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon Quartet 'Consequences' (Savoy, mono) Wonderful record, one of those that changed my listening habits. Still have my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Charlie Ventura - It's All Bop to Me (RCA Victor mono). I just got this 1955 collection of Ventura's late-forties RCA sides, and I just love it. I've always had a soft spot for Charlie V., probably out of proportion to his actual musical value. I bought this when I found that young George Russell did the arrangement of "Caravan" on this album, and that chart is indeed strange and wonderful. The rest of the album is Ventura's genial "bop for the people" stuff, and it's very entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I've avoided Stan Kenton for years but a recent deluge of Kenton LPs in the local Oxfam had me interested, so currently listening to a 3 EP edition of Contemporary Concepts - Capitol UK- I couldn't help notice the extraordinary list of soloists also the following EP (Capitol UK) plus Kenton Showcase (Capitol UK)- I noticed that Dave Schildkraut is a soloist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 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. found on ebay: Archie Shepp/Bill Dixon Quartet 'Consequences' (Savoy, mono) Wonderful record, one of those that changed my listening habits. Still have my copy. I'd *love* to find that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later pressings have a light blue cover with artwork featuring a disembodied wedding couple - only their clothes are visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 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? MG The CD was issued as Taft Jordan: Mood Indigo. Thanks Paul This morning's vinyl was Willis Jackson - West Africa - Muse Little Walter - Hate to see you go - Checker (GRT/Chess reissue or compilation) MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the album is Ventura's genial "bop for the people" stuff, and it's very entertaining. I think his work in the Krupa trio is killer.

jeffcrom Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Earlier: Dave Tarras Plays Again: Jewish Dances (Colonial). The cover has a large photo of Tarras holding his Albert system clarinet, but he actually only plays on half the tracks. He sounds great on those tracks, though. Another spin of this great klezmer album. The cover says "stereo," but it's mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Cecil McBee - Alternate Spaces (India Navigation). My first hearing of this music in over 25 years. I used to have a cassette dub (it might still be in my closet); I found a nice copy at the little record store down the street from my house.
