Zoot Sims 'In Paris' (UA Japan)

I'm sure I've said it before, but this is some of my favorite Zoot. I have the same issue. :tup

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers/Elmo Hope Quintet featuring Harold Land (Pacific Jazz/King Japan)

[jeffcrom]

James Moody - Last Train From Overbrook (Argo stereo)

[jeffcrom]

Spero Spyros - More Golden Songs of Greece (Prestige Near East). I've been trying to determine if Spyros is the excellent clarinetist on this 1962 album. I think so, but I can't find any firm confirmation. I've been fascinated by the eastern Mediterranean clarinet traditions lately, and I'm really enjoying this album. No Van Gelder stamp, though....

Bill Potts 'The Jazz Soul of Porgy & Bess' (UA, stereo)

Bill Potts 'The Jazz Soul of Porgy & Bess' (UA, stereo)

That's the same cover art as my UA (USA) copy too. Wonder what 'wall to wall stereo' is?

Lee Morgan - All That Jazz (UK DJM). Ridiculous title and cover art, poor sound quality, but outstanding music by the "Lighthouse" quintet.

Chick Corea - The Song of Singing (BN Liberty)

[paul secor]

John Coltrane: Sun Ship (Impulse Japan)

[jeffcrom]

Jazz For A Sunday Afternoon (Solid State). Marvin Stamm, Garnett Brown, and Joe Farrell with a rhythm section of Chick Corea, Richard Davis, and Elvin Jones.

Ellington/Mingus/Roach: Money Jungle (UA Japan)

Always a fascinating listen.

Jesper Thilo/Clark Terry - Tribute to Frog (Storyville).

Again tonight. I have a soft spot for Jesper Thilo since spending an evening (as part of an audience of six) listening to him in a little club in Copenhagen.

Spirtual Starlites - Long Black Limousine (ASL - Atlanta Soul Liberation). One of my favorite Atlanta gospel albums, from around 1979 or so. My cover is better shape than the one in the only picture I could find online, but I'm glad I found a picture, with the Starlites looking sharp in front of that long black limousine.

Lamine Konté - La Kora du Senegal (Arion). The back cover has a stamp from "La Maison du Livre et du Disque" in Dakar.

They were going to play "Confirmation," but not everyone knew the head.

Shorty Rogers/André Prévin 'Collaboration' (RCA Spain/FreshSound))

[John Tapscott]

[Clunky]

Fred Elizalde and his Orchestra " An evening at the Savoy" - (Decca)

British dance band with a strong jazz feel and some damn fine solos by Americans Adrian Rollini and Chelsea Quealey and British trumpeter Norman Payne. The latter also made value contributions to Spike Hughes' sessions released on Decca. Decent transfers on this 2LP set by John RTD.
