jeffcrom Posted April 22, 2012 Report Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Earl Humphrey & Igor's Imperial Orchestra (Center mono). Dick Allen used to insist that Earl was the most talented of the Humphrey brothers. Don't think I agree - Percy was great and Willie was fabulous at his best, but I would at least pay attention when Dick Allen told me something. This 1966 album was Earl's first recording in 40 years, since the Louis Dumaine sides. All the Humphrey brothers could put away some Wild Turkey, apparently, but Earl was the only one for whom it was apparently something of a problem. His playing is rough, but appealing, and the band is good - DeDe Pierce in on trumpet and young Orange Kellin is the clarinetist. (I saw him at Preservation Hall last year.) Nice stuff. Another spin of this great album. I'm glad I found this old post while searching for a picture of the cover - I would have repeated myself. Edited April 22, 2012 by jeffcrom Quote

And so, on to... Rein de Graff - Drifting on a Reed (Timeless) Much better fit for my mood. Edited April 22, 2012 by BeBop Quote

jeffcrom Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 The Guitar Album (Columbia); sides one & four, with Charlie Byrd, Joe Beck, Chuck Wayne, and John McLaughlin. I enjoyed some of these guitarists and performances more than others. The Fabulous Banjo of Danny Barker (Period). Nothing profound here, just good-time trad jazz, but I wanted to hear something with Joe Muranyi on clarinet. The picture is of a CD reissue, but my original LP looks similar. Quote
jeffcrom Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 Frog Joseph - Old New Orleans Dixieland (Dulai). A sweet mid-60's LP; Jack Willis on trumpet, Frog Joseph on trombone, and Louis Cotrell on clarinet were a common front line in the 1960's and '70's in New Orleans, and they were always great together. Frog's funeral in 2004 was beautiful; three trombones and rhythm section played the service, then Frog's son, sousaphonist Kirk Joseph, led the largest New Orleans brass band I've ever seen to the cemetery.

jeffcrom Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Ric & Ron Records: Rare & Unreleased Recordings 1958-1962 (Rounder). A box of 10 7" 45's, by Al Johnson, Eddie Bo, Johnny Adams, Edgar Blanchard, Paul Marvin, and Barbara Lynn. This set is fabulous - 50 minutes of New Orleans R & B heaven. The only common tracks are "Carnival Time" by Al Johnson and "Every Dog Has Its Day" by Eddie Bo, and those are included to contrast with the piano-and-vocal demo versions on the flip sides. Those demos are fascinating, but Johnny Adams' demos of "I Won't Cry" and "Walking the Floor Over You" are hair-raising, as is Barbara Lynn's "Found My Good Thing" demo. And some of the previously unreleased "finished products" are outstanding - Edgar Blanchard's "Blues Cha Cha" and "Bopsody in Blue" made me a happy boy, and "Eddie Bo's "Ain't You Ashamed" is as good as anything he ever recorded - I can't believe it wasn't released at the time. Yeah, I had qualms about my impulse purchase of a pricey limited edition Record Store Day product. But once I played it - no regrets at all. These records will get a lot of play at my house.
