clifford_thornton Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I'm always surprised when LPs I bought new when younger sound a little less pristine than I remember them. Hell, I had a roommate in college who just put my LPs - including a rare Ray Russell title - back in their jackets without sleeves. That didn't last long... Quote
jazzbo Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I LOVE Cowboy Movie. I like the alternate version with Neil Young on Crosby's box set as well. Right now I've never been crazy about the production and arrangements, but man I love the guitar. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Ah, haven't heard the boxed set version! Quote

jeffcrom Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Back home, spinning one of my Swedish finds before crashing: Frank Wess - North South East Wess (Savoy mono, DG, RVG stamp, all that stuff). Not bad for 60 krona (8 bucks and change). Quote

jeffcrom Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 AndraJazz score? No - a little record shop in Malmö, where I've found a few gems on both my visits to Sweden. But thanks a lot, Clifford, for planting the seed on discontent in my tired soul. I researched record stores in Stockholm before my trip, and didn't come across AndraJazz. I just looked it up - it was within walking distance of my hotel. Sigh.... But I can't complain - I found a copy of Force by Shepp and Roach for a very good price in another store. That's been on my list for a long time, but I haven't been willing to pay the prices folks were asking. Quote
JSngry Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 People get excited about The Long March, but that's the one with the mojo, that one right there! Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Trad jazz from my Scandinavian trip. First up - a very nice 1953 Storyville EP by Ken Colyer, my favorite European trad musician. Wonderful condition; less than three bucks. Then: Chris Barber - Travelling (sic) (Tip). I was given this and a couple of other records by some Danish friends. It turns out to be a collection of early-to-mid-60s cuts, including seven tracks with the great Edmond Hall. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 People get excited about The Long March, but that's the one with the mojo, that one right there! Agreed. AndraJazz is pretty neat but kind of pricey. Harald gets amazing stuff but he knows what he has. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Philly Joe Jones - P.J.'s Beat (British Atlantic). I love this one. Bill Barron sounds great, as does the almost unknown Michael Downs on cornet. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Leo Parker - Let Me Tell You 'Bout It (Pathe Marconi). Forget getting a US version unless you have deep pockets. This LP sounds pretty god to my ears. Probably not as good as the CD versions in my colllection but I just had to hear this LP because I love the two Leo Parker dates for Blue Note. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 21, 2012 Report Posted July 21, 2012 Max Roach/Archie Shepp - Force (Uniteledis/BASE); disc one. Musically, it's as good as everyone has said. Politically, a piece dedicated to Mao is maybe kinda naive even for 1976. Quote
