What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Abdullah Ibrahim - Ekaya (Ekapa)

Kid Sheik - The Sheik of Araby (504). Since Greg Waits pointed out that it's Buddy Bolden's birthday, I wanted to listen to something Bolden-related. There were several choices, but I chose this 1981 album by Kid Sheik Colar. Kid Sheik probably didn't sound that much like Bolden, but his is an "early" style, relatively untouched by Armstrong, and he plays Bolden's "Don't Go 'Way Nobody" here.

J.J. Johnson 'JJ! In Person' (Columbia, mono, six-eye)

Awesome bass sound on this lp. And a good session.

Louis Armstrong - Rare and Unreleased Recordings (Book-of-the-Month Records); disc four. Someone gave this to me twenty-something years ago, and 75 percent was new to me at the time. Since then, and since the CD boom. I have everything on the first three records elsewhere, except for two tracks. On the fourth and last record, on the other hand, I only have three of the twelve tracks elsewhere, although I imagine that most have been released on CD by now. Among the tasty treats are a rehearsal take of "Back O' Town Blues" (you can hear Louis instructing the band on the background riffs they should be playing), a "Mack the Knife" duet with Lotte Lenya, and an outtake from The Real Ambassadors with Dave Brubeck.

Three Sounds 'Soul Symphony' (BN Liberty blue/black)

[Clunky]

Gil Evans - Svengali-(Quadradisc) a 4 channel disc but sounds awesome in stereo

Mose Allison - Mose Alive ! - (Atlantic) stereo, nice set by Mose but not Wally Heider's best recording,

[sidewinder]

Leo Parker 'Let Me Tell You 'Bout It' (BN NY USA mono)

[brownie]

Art Farmer 'Farmer's Market' (NewJazz/OJC)

[jeffcrom]

Gene Roland - Swingin' Friends (Brunswick stereo)

[jazzbo]

One of the first jazz lp records I owned, a gift from a coworker of my father's (a Peace Corps volunteer under my father's direction in Swaziland). I'm amazed at the ruggedness of this mono Atlantic vinyl, and how I've somehow managed to keep it playable and enjoyable to this day.

Lonnie Smith 'Think !' (BN Manhattan)

More than acceptable sound !

[Clunky]

Archie Shepp/Horace Parlan- Goin' home - (Steeplechase)

[jeffcrom]

Great Jazz Reeds (RCA Camden). This 1958 anthology on RCA's budget label is very interesting, not just because it collects some great great music, but because it has some rare alternate takes - notably the hard-to-find take two of "Victory Ball" by the 1949 Metronome All Stars.

Duke Ellington 'Concert in the Virgin Islands' (Discovery reissue)

Excellent remastering job on this LP!
