Clunky Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) fresh out of its shrink wrap... Ira Sullivan- Flying Fish- produced by our CN, perhaps the best Sullivan album i've heard, better certainly than some of Electra dates with Red Rodney( which aren't exactly poor either) Edited June 28, 2005 by Clunky Quote
spinlps Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 EL-P : High Water Arrived late last week and finally on the Spacedeck last night. Great modern jazz on an old style 10" LP from Thirsty Ear. Here's the link: http://thirstyear.com/album_detail.php?art...um=High%20Water I wish more stuff from the Blue Series was on vinyl! Quote
patricia Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) On I GANGANITI DEL JAZZ label - Jazz Jazz - Live performances by Sarah Vaughan, who sings a fabulous version of Embraceable You and has a kick-ass take on My Hear Belongs To Daddy, backed by the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet. The rest of the tracks are: Dizzy Gillespie's Quintet - Be Bop Dizzy Gillespie's Big Band - Things To Come Miles Davis Quintet - Milestone Charlie Mingus and his Sextet - Pithecanthropus Eretus There are no cover notes on this album, but the music is amazing, with the live audience providing the excitement that a studio recording wouldn't have. LOVE this. Edited June 28, 2005 by patricia Quote

sidewinder Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) More Kirk. This time 'Slightly Latin' (Limelight, original stereo). Really like this album, can never work out why it keeps on getting a lukewarm rap. Sound of the LP is also most noticeably better than that on the Mercury CD box.

Ira has told me any number of times this is his favorite recording. I have the masters and hope to reissue it some day. I would include a wonderful bonus blues. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 Gerald Wilson Orchestra 'Eternal Equinox' (World Pacific). Interesting to hear this one on the vinyl format as distinct from the Mosaic CD. Jean Luc Ponty is just doing his modal fiddling thing on 'Scorpio Rising'.. Quote

patricia Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 (edited) The soundtrack from "Lenny", from the film with Dustin Hoffman as Lenny Bruce, directed by Bob Fosse and the music produced and directed by Ralph Burns. This is an interesting album in that it has eight Bruce monologues by Hoffman, indespersed with great jazz of the period, most by Ralph Burns, but a great track of Miles Davis' "It Never Entered My Mind" is part of the music for the film. I picked this up on a whim, but it is a fine jazz album, with the added bonus of some of Lenny Bruce's standup bits that landed him in the hoosecow a couple of times. I really enjoyed listening to it. Edited June 30, 2005 by patricia Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I wonder if this film is on DVD... or is there an actual documentary on Bruce out? I'd like to learn more, but reading about him doesn't really do the guy justice. Quote

Clunky Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 From my newly arrived disc one from Martial Solal-Live- 1959-1985, sadly there is a warp in the LP which causes hiccups for the first 2 mins on each side, Quote

Although the set was inexpensive I'm gutted. Quote

I'd like to learn more, but reading about him doesn't really do the guy justice. ← Clifford I don't know if the film is on DVD, although being a Fosse film, I would think it's more likely than if it were a fringe film. Hoffman was nominated for an Oscar for his role in it. I also don't think that there is a documentary, though it would make a great one. Bruce was funny and his humour groundbreaking at the time. These days he would almost be mainstream. The music is great though. ............................................. Having said all that, I googled "lenny bruce,documentary" and discovered that there are several, some by BBC and one of which is now being produced by Robert de Niro, but not released yet. So, check it out. I intend to see one, or all of them if I can locate them. Should be very interesting Edited July 1, 2005 by patricia Quote
marcello Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 The Fosse film is a drag but then, most docu-dramas are. I have this on VHS and it is out on DVD. Quote

patricia Posted July 1, 2005 Report Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) The Fosse film is a drag but then, most docu-dramas are. I have this on VHS and it is out on DVD. ← Thank you Marcello. I fear you are right about docudramas. I actually didn't see "Lenny" as a film, but the LP is very enjoyable. I give you a more recent example of a misguided docudrama, "Beyond The Sea", the Bobby Darin bio. Nobody can doubt that it was a labour of love by Kevin Spacey, who played Darin. But it is not the same thing as seeing Darin's actual filmed appearances which are available. A&E did a decent bio a couple of years ago with tons of performance footage. There is always pressure to do bios of beloved, or interesting performers and Lenny Bruce is no exception. It always seems strange to make a fictional film when the real stuff is out there. "Ray" was an excellent docudrama, but the actual performance footage is much better than even Jamie Foxx's performance, excellent though it was. But, the Lenny soundtrack LP is very good, mostly for the music. Edited July 1, 2005 by patricia Quote
wolff Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Pres and Sweets Pres and Teddy Very nice mono reissues from years ago. Classic Records or Speaker's Corner should do these, as they both seem to be into the Verve catalog. Edited July 1, 2005 by wolff Quote
