brownie Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Louis Bellson 'At the Flamingo' (Verve, mono, trumpet label) Beautiful studio session that does not seem to have been reissued on CD. Really a Harry Edison quartet date (with Don Abney and Truck Parham). An excellent Bellson stays in the background most of the time...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 The cover is this: But i pull the LP out, and it's actually this: Shoulda checked the label in the store, I guess, but I'm not complaining...Rabbit w/Billy Gardner, Jimmy Ponder, Ron Carter, & Freddie Waits? Works for me, especially for $3.99. I wonder if Clark Burroughs ever worked at that store... I got 'Rippin' & runnin'' when it came out and was disappointed in it. Playing earlier Shirley Scott - Drag 'em out - Prestige (blue label) Shirley usually recorded with bass players, though there are several LPs where you can see she didn't need to. But this one, with Major Holley, is wonderful and Major H really adds value. Now ALbert COllins - Don't lose your cool - Alligator (Sonet UK) Next Milt Jackson/Ray Brown etc Montreux '77 - Pablo Live (UK) MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Charlie Christian, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk et al - Jazz Immortals (Everest) One of four (!) packagings of this material by Everest. Sturdy, worn jacket and thick, pristine vinyl. Sounds pretty good, probably better than the OJC CD. My copy obviously doesn't have the orange edge from this reissue but it's the only picture of this cover I could find. I see they added the O to Thelonius there.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Spurred by the Carl Davis thread, just interrupted Milt at the end of side 1 to play Tyrone Davis - A woman needs to be loved - Dakar (Atlantic UK) Not sure if my memory's playing tricks, but I feel sure that I was prompted to buy this, early in '69, when Charlie Gillette reviewed Davis' first 45, 'Can I change my mind', in his regular R&B column in the Record Mirror, giving it a decent review, then raved about the B side, saying it was an all time Soul classic. It STILL is. I never bought another Tyrone Davis single (or an LP) because, when a guy starts off and has one of the best records of its type as the B side of an A side that spends 3 weeks at #1 on the R&B chart, all he can do is go down. This is POWERHOUSE soul singing! MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyltim Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 The BNs are tight soul-jazz, quite airplay-ready, with Wilkerson as the only horn. That said, I like them, though they are quite different from the Riverside date (which I only have on CD). Seems like you scored a nice copy. Nice, I'm sure I'd like them--this is more harp bop. Grant Green is on the BN dates right? This is a nice copy--shows some wear but sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 I got 'Rippin' & runnin'' when it came out and was disappointed in it. I played my rather battered copy this afternoon and really enjoyed it. I can see/hear how some aspects might not be your thing, like Freddie Waits' drumming.

You oculd be right, there, Jeff, though I don't usually have a problem with Waits. But, as I recollect, the time seemed all wrong. This morning Earl Bostic & his alto sax no 2 - King (Parlophone UK 10") A bit small that image, so here's a bigger one of the first one Gene Ludwig - Now's the time - Muse Now Jimmy Forrest, King Curtis & Oliver Nelson - Soul battle - Prestige (Ace UK) Fabulous session I never get tired of!

jeffcrom Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Bud Shank & his Brazilian Friends (PJ mono). The main Brazilian friend is Joao Donato. I had this album on at my apartment about 16 years ago when my wife and I were dating; she characterized it as "bachelor pad" music. Well, she was wrong - it's way tougher than that. It gets into some depths. Shank will make you cry on "Once I Loved." I don't remember if the album "worked" that night or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Chicago Ain't Nothin' But a Blues Band (Delmark). Different from the CD issue - missing some tracks, but with some tracks which aren't on the CD. In any case, fabulous blues from the Atomic-H label.

jeffcrom Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sam Musiker - Jewish Wedding Dances (Tikva) I added this to my growing stack of cheap klezmer LPs from the 50's and 60's today. Sam Musiker had played tenor and clarinet in Gene Krupa's band and in the band of his musical hero and father-in-law, Dave Tarras. I wish I could find a picture of the cover online; it's odd and cool. Again. And I still can't find a picture, at least not in jpeg format.
