What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Chuck Nessa]

Obviously a Storyville reissue of a fine Chiaroscuro disc.

Lefty Frizzell - 1958 recordings

[jeffcrom]

Steve Lacy/Steve Potts - Tips (Hat Hut)

[jazzbo]

Obviously a Storyville reissue of a fine Chiaroscuro disc.

Yes, stuff that is on Jazzology sets as well.

[jeffcrom]

Olympia Brass Band - New Orleans Street Parade (MPS). The Olympia in Europe, 1974. Glorious.

Lefty Frizzell: His Life His Music (Bear Family) - 1959/60 recordings

[Clunky]

Paul Jeffrey- Family (Mainstream) , pretty strong set of tunes well played , perhaps needed a bit of extra rehearsal as ensemble passages a bit ragged but it's a good date and a better recorded than many Mainstreams I've heard

[jazzbo]

I like "Family." Jeffrey did some good work in those years.

Right now

[jazzbo]

Now on to some Jackson.

[tomatamot]

Black Arthur Blythe ‎– Bush Baby

[vinyltim]

The Sandy Bull is great. A marriage of Indian drone, proto Derek Bailey improvisation and folk music. I like Inventions but much prefer Fantasias for Guitar and Banjo which features Billy Higgins(!)

[John Tapscott]

[paul secor]

Urban Blues Vol. 2 - New Orleans Bounce (Imperial)

[jeffcrom]

Byard Lancaster - It's Not Up to Us (Vortex)

[paul secor]

Lefty Frizzell: His Life His Music (Bear Family) - 1950 recordings

[jazzbo]

One of the last recordings Condon participated in as a player, I believe.

God Bless Eddie!

Basie's Beat

Usually don't comment on label or pressing variance or spinal conditions or anything like that, but this one was found mono and sealed. When opened, it turned out to be a yellow-and-black-label DJ copy, which I found strange. And the pressing was just kind of noisy in general, not poppy-clicky noisy, just...bad vinyl noisy, which is an experience I've often had over the years with Verve's of this vintage. Oh well, it's a good enough record to override all that, because as they say here: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/artist/music/detail.aspx?pid=11154&aid=2674

Count Basie gets called away on special assignments from time to time, but in this album he is back on the beat with the kind of music for which he is famous.

So, yeah!

Joe McPhee w/ Eli Keszler - Ithaca (8mm)

Italian LP limited to 250 copies; a magnificent 2010 performance.

[JSngry]

Ed Shaughnessy is freakin' GONZO on the title cut, but then again, so is the whole chart, not just in its writing, but in its execution. Overall, it's a worthwhile curiosity in the Oliver Nelson discography. Not really any cut-corners, not there could be as the years went by and the workload reached massive proportions.

[JSngry]

Yeah, that cover.

Like it matters. :g

Looks sort of similar to the lineup that did Nelson's 'Jazzhattan Suite'. Plus - Rita Tushingham's face is not one I usually associate with Oliver Nelson LP sleeves. Nice !

Basie/Williams "Memories AdLib"
