The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 This afternoon Lowell Fulson - Chess Blues Masters Series - Checker (All Platinum) Must get some more Lowell Fulson soon; running low MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Keep an eye out for Lowell Folsom - same cat. Don't listen to vinyl very often but last weekend I was in Naples and checked out a record store in Fort Myers, so this was the weekend for transferring. So far I've heard Albert King, I'm in a Phone Booth, Baby (Fantasy) Muddy Waters, Rare and Unissued (Chess) Sonny Boy Williamson, One Way Out (Chess) and half of the Excello Story double LP - all excellent, and in better sound then I expected. Still to come: Louis Bellson at the Flamingo (with Sweets as the sole horn) (Verve) Al Grey & Tony Coe Get it Together - Live at Pizza Express (Maybe one of the Brits knows this one?) Jimmy McGriff, Cherry (Solid State) - I've no doubt MG knows this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 That Grey/Coe looks interesting - fine supporting band on that one, too, it seems. Now: Lasse Werner/Lars Sjosten 5 - Club Jazz, vol. 4 - (SR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Keep an eye out for Lowell Folsom - same cat. Albert King, I'm in a Phone Booth, Baby (Fantasy) Great first line - 'I'm in a phone booth, baby, and your number's written up on the wall' Does that mean the same thing in the US as over here - prossies put their numbers in phone booths, advertising 'French lessons'? The CD I have of the album is on Stax, but I note that it was recorded long after the Stax days; Jan 1984. So it was originally issued on Fantasy? I never knew that. Al Grey & Tony Coe Get it Together - Live at Pizza Express (Maybe one of the Brits knows this one?) Jimmy McGriff, Cherry (Solid State) - I've no doubt MG knows this one. Don't know the Al Grey. I haven't been as assiduous in collecting his material as, perhaps, I should have been. I do know 'Cherry'; nice album, though the tracks are a bit short for stretching out. Now playing Lionel Hampton - Off into a black thing - Brunswick MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Albert King, I'm in a Phone Booth, Baby (Fantasy) Great first line - 'I'm in a phone booth, baby, and your number's written up on the wall' Does that mean the same thing in the US as over here - prossies put their numbers in phone booths, advertising 'French lessons'? MG Reminds me of a tongue-in-cheek take on that seen in a Dobell's listening booth round 1960. Under the various claims like "Harold Land - fastest tenor in the West" someone had added something like "Norma Bloggins - greatest white entertainer" with a north London suburban phone number. The same wall also carried the allegation: "Roland Kirk has three mouths". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Right now, Wow, where did you find that on LP?!?!?! I didn't, wrong thread, recently found a sealed cd copy at a good price.Now, this two lp set, I like the sound of Roulette vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Now, this two lp set, I like the sound of Roulette vinyl. True, good sound and great recordings. But very annoying track compilation. A bit here, a bit there, but nothing even halfway complete (neither live Storyville nor studio sessions). Bought my copy in my relatively early collecting days (29 years ago) to get a taste - which I did (and liked it), but whenever I tried to complete those sessions, this turned out to be impossible without running into just that annoying amount of overlaps that would have made it less appealing to buy those other vinyls (because it would have taken several LPs - if they could be found - to round up EVERYTHING on that LP and phase it out for good).

jazzbo Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well, I have all the stuff on cd so I get the lps just for a taste of vinyl goodness, and that works out just fine for me. Getting a new phono preamp in a week or so that I think will make vinyl sound even better (tubed phono preamp for the first time since my dad's Dynaco system when I was a wee lad, looking forward to it, a Decware ZP3).

Big Beat Steve Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Well, I have all the stuff on cd so I get the lps just for a taste of vinyl goodness, and that works out just fine for me. I understand, but being a vinyl man at heart I came from the opposite end. At least the Storyvilles from that LP have long since been completed on vinyl. Enjoy your listening!!

jeffcrom Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 James Newton - Water Mystery (Gramavision). 1986; no CD issue, I don't think. It ranges from "third-streamy" to swinging. John Carter tears it up on "The Crips." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 The Art of Rahsaan Roland Kirk (Atlantic two-fer). When I owned fewer than ten jazz albums, this was one of them. It hasn't gotten pulled off the shelf for awhile, but I was in the mood tonight. It still seems like a pretty good anthology of Kirk's 1966-71 Atlantic recordings.

sidewinder Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) The Art of Rahsaan Roland Kirk (Atlantic two-fer). That was a great series - and I agree that the selection is pretty damn good. I have two other favourites from this series - the Charles Mingus and the Freddie Hubbard, Edited November 13, 2012 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 This two lp set just sounds phenomenal. (And I love the music). I have the material on French CBS cds, but they just will never sound this great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Stan Getz - Sweet Rain (original Van Gelder pressing). One of my favorite Getz dates and I don't know exactly why. It just hits me right. EDIT: Why is it that most Verve vinyl (like CTI vinyl) is noisy? You find "Van Gelder" in the deadwax and you figure it'll sound good but the crackles & pops drive me nuts. There are times when CD is better. Getz's "Sweet Rain" would seem like one of them.

JSngry Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 EDIT: Why is it that most Verve vinyl (like CTI vinyl) is noisy? CTI vinyl was clean back in the day when it was new. They used that stuff in stereo stores to demo equipment. Ron Carter should get back royalties from how many speakers his bass sound sold... Maybe they got played a lot by people who weren't always careful. In fact, no maybe about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
