The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 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. Was Lloyd Mayers playing organ or piano on that date, Jim? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Dave Brubeck Octet (Fantasy red vinyl). My longtime bassist gave this to me during a visit to his house. He called it "too academic"; I know what he means, but I like it. And so did Cecil Taylor as a young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Lou Donaldson - Rough House Blues (Cadet mono). One of the perks of a gig in Columbia, SC was the chance to visit Papa Jazz Records. This was one of my finds - the sticker says "VG," but damn if it's not NM. I want to spin "Days of Wine and Roses" again and just listen to Richard Davis' bass lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Aretha Franklin - Soul Sister (Columbia 2-eye stereo). I had never checked out Aretha's Columbia output, but I found this in the dollar bin in a local record store. Better than I expected - the arrangements and some of the tunes are regrettable, but it's still Aretha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 After several hours of Anthony Braxton today, my ears and brain wanted something very different: George Lewis at Home (Dan). One of a series of great Japanese issues featuring otherwise unissued American Music masters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Several very cool 10" LPs: George Lewis/Freddie Kohlman - New Orleans Jazz Concert (Decca). A 1952 concert with my favorite George Lewis band - the one with Percy Humphrey on trumpet. Side two, with Freddie Kohlman's band, is kind of frantic, in spite of the presence of Willie Humphrey on clarinet. Jamming at Rudi's No. 2 (Circle). A KC-style jam session, with Hot Lips Page, Tyree Glenn, Paul Quinichette, Danny Barker, Walter Page, Sonny Greer, etc. Charlie Mariano - Modern Saxaphone Stylings (sic) (Imperial). Some of Mariano's (and Jaki Byard's) first recordings. Sidney Bechet - La Nuit est une Sorcière (London). I have Bechet's ballet on CD, but I love this mint-condition deluxe boxed edition.
