tomatamot Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Air - Air Time (Nessa). Notes by our own John L. I know that Chuck takes great pains in his digital remastering, but this is a really fine-sounding LP - well-mastered and pressed. I found this album a few weeks ago. Great music and fidelity. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Billy Eckstine - The Swinging Mr. B (Jazz Bird). Airchecks by the great bebop big band, with Gene Ammons, Budd Johnson, Fats Navarro, and Sarah Vaughan. Quote

jazzbo Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 1968 studio date produced by Milt Gabler, w/Budd Johnson, Buck Clayton, Bill Pemberton, & Oliver Jackson. Seems a little "reigned in" to me, but maybe in 1968 it was the kind of record they felt they(?) needed to make. Well, if it was, then they did. Any reservations I have would be about that. That, and wtf kind of album title is that, anyway? I have two lps in the "Father of Modern Jazz" box set with the same crew except for Buck, and they're possibly "reigned" in but it seems all want to play this way, with elegance and beauty. I love 'em! Quote

I love 'em! Yeah, I mean, how do you not love those guys, right? I hear ya'. But on this particualr album, there's a few cuts where they loosen up and play...uh, looser, and the rest sound kind of..."produced", maybe with an eye towards radioplay. 1968 had to have been a weird time to make a major label record like this. I know it's unreasonable to look at Milt Gabler & a date like this in 1968 and expect a Commodore-type 1940 thing, but still...not a bad record at all, really, just would have preferred just a teence a bit more looseness overall. What is this 5 record Hines set, btw? What label was it released on? Is it all live stuff? I might need to go a-huntin' for that one! Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Well, that was easy. Thanks! Some of the set reissued on Black Lion vinyl. The solo material is very fine. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 This morning The Caravans - Just like him - Vee-Jay (Fontana UK) Sonny Criss - Portrait of - Prestige (Fantasy green label) Then several hours of painting the back door and frames. Now relaxing (is it?) with Charles Mingus - Mingus dynasty - COlumbia (CBS UK) before embarking on the front door frames and step, when the sun goes around the house. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 I'm fucking knackered! So, vinyl for the extremely knackered this evening. Willie Bobo - Tomorrow is here - Blue Note - an album distinguished by the complete absence of anything relating to Blue Note. I wonder if TTK has this. I like it, for those extremely knackered times. next In case you left your magnifying glass at the office, this is Salem Travellers - Heaven is my goal - Nashboro - smooth soul arrives in Church MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Before the LP, a bit of video of the Salem Travelers - one of my favourite post forties gospel groups. Swings nicely. MG Quote
JSngry Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Did not know that Harvey Fuqua was the co-producer on this one. That guy got around! Quote
