What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[jazzbo]

One side of this was enough.

Now on to something much grittier.

Anthony Braxton - Four Four Orchestras (Arista); side four. I enjoyed Braxton's For Trio so much this morning that I thought I'd give part of this another try, to see if my negative feelings had changed. Nope. It still seems random to me, and not random in a purposeful way, like some of Cage's music - just rambling and unfocused.

Not sure this will help but here is a note from Cuscuna that was stuck inside my box. Yes, I got a promo.

Wow - thanks for that info.

Now playing:

Martial Solal - Vive la France! Vive le Jazz! Vive Solal! (Capitol stereo). A U.S. reissue of an excellent 1960 session, which presumably had a less ridiculous title on the original French album.

Abbey Lincoln 'Abbey is Blue' (Riverside, stereo)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

This morning's vinyl

Professor Herman Stevens - Poet of the gospel organ - Savoy

Stevens was a big influence on Baby Face Willette, and you can hear it.

Jack Wilson - The jazz organs - Vault (bad water damage on sleeve looks worse than this)

Eugene Williams & Sister Lee Ida Brown & the Houston Interdenominational Choir - Somebody bigger than I - Songbird (No image on the web)

Slim & the Supreme Angels - MOre than alive - Nashboro (another no image on web - 70s gospel is REALLY unpopular)

Bessie Griffin - Testimony - Nashboro (really REALLY unpopular)

Well, here's one

George Hines & the Gospel Winds - Presenting - Atlantic

Thornell Schwartz! Cuttin' up!

Paul Humphrey on neutral ground.

but - Bob West on Fender bass? Huh? Why? Uh...no, please?

[JSngry]

Same for Groove's vocal on "Poke Salad Annie"...not even "good for what it is".

But Thornell Schwartz is ALL good here!

[JSngry]

Issued on RCA with little to no fanfare. Totally solo (albeit overdubbed solo), and totally badass.

Eddie Harris was a complicated man. Not sure if no one understood him but his woman or not, but...this is a serious album with some serious playing on it.

[JSngry]

Apparently this is readily available on CD, but with some additional, unrelated, irrelevant material added. I got the Spindletop LP without all that nonsense.

And nonsense-free it is. Splendid playing by both men. If all you know of Eddie Harris is the commercial stuff, and/or if all you know of Ellis Marsalis is his offspring, then this album will show you that even if you can't ultimately get past that, you could if you wanted to.

[JSngry]

It's got a deep groove!

The LP, not the music...

[JSngry]

[jazzbo]

I've got that one, need to spin it soon.

Right now

[JSngry]

Has the cumulative material on that Capitol thing ever been out on one CD?
