Paul Gayten & Annie Laurie - Creole Gal (Route 66)

As I was listening to this great New Orleans R & B, 1947-57, I realized, to my amazement, that I have played with one of the guys on some of the 1949 tracks here - the great Crescent City bassist Peter "Chuck" Badie.

Haven't listened to that one in years. Time to pull it off the shelf and put it on the box.

Thanks for the reminder.

One I always regretted not getting. I guess there's a CD somewhere of them.

Johnny Copeland - Copeland special - Rounder

MG

Alert! MG is listening to avant-garde musicians: George Adams, Byard Lancaster, Yusef Yancey, Garrett List!

Have you heard this yet MG?

Hank Marr with a very young James Blood Ulmer and George Adams. It defines the word 'raw' . Apparently this band played the clubs in Germany.

A very kind man named Arthur Shoulders made a needle drop of this LP for me over ten years ago. I promised to send him a fiver for his generous gesture, but never got around to it. Dear Mr Shoulders, if you read this board, please PM me and I will send you a tenner instead.

No - I've wanted that one for YEARS!

Mine's stereo, with a blue label. Very heavy pressing. Groove Holmes & Joe Pass had much fun on this. Well, everyone did.

MG

Here is a link to a youtube upload of the Hank Marr Lp.

Any idea who the drummer might be MG? Or anyone else.

Couldn't find a picture of this excellent New Orleans LP:

De De Pierce and His New Orleans Stompers (Center). A relatively rare appearance of De De without his wife Billie; George Lewis and Jim Robinson are in the band, as is bassist Chester Zardis, whom I saw in Preservation Hall at age 90, a couple of months before he died. He sounded fantastic.

Another spin. I'll add that the session was recorded in 1966, that the liner notes recount the bureaucratic and racist bullshit the producer (Leonard Brackett) encountered while trying to find a place to record, and that my album claims to be stereo, but it's not.

Peggy-Lee-Lets-Love-236334.jpg

Madeline Peyroux (or whatever her name is) must've listened to this album, or one like it, if there is one.

Could've been better, but could've been far, far worse.

Besides, is there anybody else of Peggy Lee's general "type" that you'd want to hear sing "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight"?

Bill Jennings with Jack McDuff - Glide On (Prestige/Status mono). A typical Prestige hybrid, with a yellow-and-black Prestige labels and a Status cover. Liner notes are by some guy named Chris Alberston. I'd like to know the history of my copy - there's a handwritten notation on the back: "Taped 1.39 Goldblatts." Burt?

Teo Macero/Bob Prince - What's New (Columbia 6-eye mono). I've had this third stream album for years, but never enjoyed it as much as I did tonight. It's complex, intelligent, and mostly swings. Re: another thread - there are some excellent vintage 1956 Phil Woods solos on the Bob Prince side.

Ken-Colyer-Club-Session-With-560099.jpg

Ken Colyer - Club Session With Colyer (London). Sometimes, when I'm thinking about putting on a Ken Colyer album, a little voice in my head asks, "Why are you about to play a Ken Colyer album? Wouldn't you rather hear an album of actual New Orleans musicians?" Then I play the album, and the voice disappears within 30 seconds. Colyer and his bands always sounded so good that I don't care if they didn't invent the style they were playing.

New+Orleans+Heritage+Hall+Jazz+Band+New+Orleans+Heritage+Hall+Jazz.jpg

Heritage Hall Jazz Band (GNP Crescendo). After thinking about Louis Cottrell, I wanted to hear some of his music that I hadn't heard for awhile. This 1973 album is not tremendously exciting, but Alvin Alcorn, Frog Joseph, and Cottrell make an elegant front line.

I didn't visit New Orleans for the first time until 1990, but managed to hear two of these musicians - trombonist Frog Joseph and pianist Walter Lewis. Lewis was just shy of his 82nd birthday when I heard him at Preservation Hall in 2000; he was blind by that point, and his abilities were pretty limited. He sounds pretty good on this album. I'm glad I got to hear him in person.
