What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

Leo Wright - Flote und Alto-Sax - (Amiga)

with Candy Green and the guitarist Andre Condouant, who's quite a revelation. Have had this LP for a few years but never "really" listened to it until now.

Art Blakey New York 1957 (Musidisc)

Bought Paris in the 70s. Sticker reads "19F Prix Maximum"

Love the Hardman/McLean Messengers!

I remember those - they were often in the £1.99 bargain/deletion bins.

I seem to remember the franc was about 13 to the pound at the time, so I did OK! Wonderful album, which I believe was issued in the U.S. as Mirage. On mine all the tunes are listed as Blakey compositions, which they clearly aren't. A bit of research came up with the far more convincing Gryce, plus some by Draper. There was a Ray Draper who played tuba, but would this have been him?

[clifford_thornton]

Yep.

This is the LP in its US forms (the Elektra is the original):

jimmy forrest's night train- not the 78, nor 45, but the UNITED full length, this lp is quite scarce, expect to be searching for a long while before finding one

[BillF]

Thanks for the info, Clifford!

[Clunky]

Freddie Hubbard - High Energy- (CBS) UK ssue, Freddie in very fine form , out of Miles' electric bag, some tracks not 100% but a pretty good effort. Well worth the £3 it cost me at a record fair yesterday.

Jimmy Rushing 'Every Day I Have the Blues' (Bluesway, stereo)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Coleman Hawkins - Make Someone Happy from Do Re Mi (Prestige dark blue label, VAN GELDER in the deadwax)

Nice find Adrian. There's some good music tucked away in there. I have a US copy.

Yesterday also found a copy of Rollin' (MPS) - again a good one if more conventional hard bop but well played with no evident slacking

[jeffcrom]

Chick Corea/Dave Holland/Barry Altschul - A.R.C. (ECM)

[jeffcrom]

Rockin' Tabby Thomas - King of the Swamp Blues (Maison de Soul)

Billy Taylor 'With Four Flutes' (Riverside, mono)

[jeffcrom]

"Tabby"...isn't that a cat?

Yes, and that cat is the father of bluesman Chris Thomas King.

Probably scratched Chris when he was a kid.

[JSngry]

Just goes to show...

Billy Taylor 'With Four Flutes' (Riverside, mono)

To each their own, but this is a nightmarish proposition for me.

[JSngry]

Haven't heard the album, but the cover photo looks like Doctor Billy Taylor is being held inside a jail cell the door of which was designed by an orthodontist!
