Jim Hall - Jazz Guitar (PJ)

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Picked up at Stereo Jacks today. Believe it or not, I've never owned this before:

Stanley Turrentine - Sugar (CTI) VAN GELDER in the deadwax. As usual with Van Gelder CTI LPs, there are a few small pops in a mirror-perfect record. I don't get it,

So far, this is much better than I expected. I always figured this was Stanley gone commercial... or else I just never got the toe licking thing on the cover. The last thing someone woukd get from between my toes is sugar!

Lars Gullin - Baritone Sax (Atlantic) Pretty wonderful. The cover's a little beat, but the record sounds really nice.

[jeffcrom]

Tampa Red - Guitar Wizard (RCA/Bluebird); disc two.

[brownie]

Horace Silver 'The Tokyo Blues' (BN, mono, NY labels)

[jeffcrom]

Interpretations by the Stan Getz Quintet (Norgran). Norgran 1000 - the first 12" LP on the label. Sounds fantastic.

Scored this Basie with the Andy Warhol cover today!

[brownie]

Woody Shaw 'The Moontrane' (Muse)

[Ken Dryden]

Frank Wess: Flute Juice

Just finished - Stanley Turrentine's "Another Story". Eh. Good enough to not skip to another record but not enough to make me want to play it again too soon.

Now playing, Sonny Criss "This Is Criss". I have always liked this date. A great rhythm section behind Sonny too.

Steve Lacy - Eronel (Horo)

Finally!

This has been on my want list for years. A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a collector who saw a blog post in which I jokingly asked for this record as a Christmas present. He offered me a copy, as well as several other Lacy records I didn't have, at a very good price. The package arrived today; Eronel is as good as I had hoped.

Steve Lacy - Futurities (Hat Art); disc one.

[brownie]

Hampton Hawes 'The Green Leaves of Summer' (Contemporary)

[JSngry]

Always a pleasure to hear Bill Perkins, no matter what the surroundings.

[jazzbo]

One of my oldest lps. Bought this when i first started buying lps because I was wearing my parents' copy out.

Love this material.

[Clunky]

Kenny Clarke and Ernie Wilkins- London

[jeffcrom]

Steve Lacy Quintet - Follies (FMP)

[jeffcrom]

Stella Chiweshe - Ambuya? (GlobeStyle). Vocals and mbira from Zimbabwe, with bass, drums, and 1980s-style production added. I would probably prefer to hear a "purer" form of this music, but the approach used here is not without its appeal.
