Ben Hill United Methodist Church Majestic Choir - Prayer and Faith (Savoy). Ben Hill is a suburb of Atlanta.

Wow! Never heard of that one!

Earlier:

Seattle Beat (Capitol Custom mono). A survey of the 1962 Seattle jazz scene, pressed on yellow vinyl sold at the World's Fair that year. It's a mixture of the good (Corky Corcoran and Chuck Mahaffay), the bad (accordionist Frank Sugia), and the ugly (Myron Hinkle & the Blue Banjo Boys).

Now:

Jimmy Smith - Bucket (BN NY mono). Not one of his best, probably, but I wanted something kind of undemanding after the gig.

Yeah, most of those honkers could really PLAY!

This afternoon's vinyl

Gospelaires of Dayton, Ohio - Camp meeting - Peacock (MCA)

Jimmy-Witherspoon-Midnight-Lady-Cal-534971.jpg

Jimmy Witherspoon - Midnight lady called the blues - Muse (French issue)

I think this is my favourite Spoon - probably his last recording - but his singing is still right on the button and with the most perfect R&B band you could imagine.

Clare Fischer - Easy living - Revelation (Jazz Workshop London)

My sleeve isn't anything like this one. Good job too; I might not have bought it seeing Clare looking so much like a pratt in that little beard :) He had better beards on Pacific Jazz. Maybe Bock was in charge of the barber shop.

I suppose you've got the same cover as I have:

Never seen a 'Jazz Workshop London' pressing of any other title. This has very heavy vinyl, but not too good sound.

His worst beard must have been on 'Great White Hope', though:

Joe Sample 'Try Us' (Sonet, 1969) with J.C. Moses and Red Mitchell.

Huh - didn't know of this J.C. Moses appearance. Interesting.

He plays fine in this setting, although it is perhaps more conservative than some of his other appearances. I find Sample more enjoyable here than with the Jazz Crusaders; he gets opportunity to stretch out a bit.

Sound clip available here: http://www.recordmania.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=f4b7f0b55c1010629e7eb4923c71a818&query=joe+sample&ref=search_records

This is also available as a cheap CD reissue under the title 'Fancy Dance'.

Paul Barnes - Portrait of a New Orleans Clarinet Player (CSA). A wonderful 1973 record by the New Orleans Creole clarinetist, who recorded with Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Oscar Celestin in the 1920's. The rhythm section consists, in its entirety, of pianist Sing Miller and drummer Louis Barbarin. Side one pairs Barnes with longtime Fats Domino alto saxist Joseph Harris; on side two his front-line partner is the great Louis Nelson on trombone. This record makes me smile.

Later: Whatever the opposite of "slick" is, that's what this album is. I love it.

Again. This music really made me feel good.

And again. Still can't find a picture online.
