JSngry Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Weather Report - 8:30 (Columbia). I like this band a lot more now than I did back in the day. HA! I'd say that time is in the process of proving them right about a lot of things, at least for now. But you never can tell with time, ya' know, it's liable to do anything on your ass without any kind of a warning. But for now, yeah, they were mostly right. Not sure I'd enjoy a world where Wayne Shorter & Joe Zawinul were mostly wrong. In fact, I know I wouldn't. People have tried to make that world, and it's just not working. But watch out for time, time'll do some weird shit anway, right or wrong! Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 Duke Pearson - Jolly Ole Soul (BN Liberty blue and white label). An odd choice for March, I know, but I just found this record yesterday. I'm amazed that there are now two versions of "The Little Drummer Boy" that I actually like - the other is a Steve Coleman/Marvin "Smitty" Smith duet. The Organissimo version is BRILLIANT! One of the greatest Christmas or anytime. There's a thread somewhere here where you can get it. Only available as a download from the board. Don't delay! MG Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 2, 2013 Report Posted March 2, 2013 MG is correct, the organissimo version is great. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Jimmy Smith - Jimmy Smith At The Organ Vol. 1 (BLP1551 mono RVG with the ear). I picked this up for $12 today. I was pretty surprised to find it in a store that usually doesn't have much Jazz. A couple of big scratches but these old original Blue Notes play pretty good even when scratched. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Coleman Hawkins - The Hawk Flies High (blue label Riverside). $12 from the same place as the LP above. I saw the cover and I knew this was an older pressing. I didn't know there was the shadow of a bare tree on the cover. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 The Curtis Counce Group Vol. 1 - Landslide. Late 70's reissue(?) with a sticker on the cover saying "An original Contemporary Classic now available again". Quote
slide_advantage_redoux Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Coleman Hawkins - The Hawk Flies High (blue label Riverside). $12 from the same place as the LP above. I saw the cover and I knew this was an older pressing. I didn't know there was the shadow of a bare tree on the cover. I bought a cassette version of this on the street in Interlachen, Switzerland back in 1980. I played the crap out of it! It was years before i could find out who the players were. I think it was a commercial bootleg Quote
sidewinder Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) UK RCA pressing - bought by me back in '75. 'Up From The Skies' is easily the best arrangement on here. Fortunately I got to see Gil play it about 5-6 years later. Edited March 3, 2013 by sidewinder Quote
kh1958 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 This morning, The Three Sounds, Moods (Blue Note stereo, W. 63rd), and Soul Jazz Volume 1 (Prestige/Bluesville mono). Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Just finished Stanley Turrentine's "A Chip Off The Old Block", a mint Liberty blue label with Van Gelder in the deadwax. Nice date. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Playing some ambient/electronica music from Tor Lundvall today as I decorate the new media room/man cave. Mizuko Jizo (33 rpm single), Evening/Leaves (45 rpm single) & Sleeping And Hiding (full LP). Quote
Clunky Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Record fair yesterday , some nice stuff but first three LPs of jazzfunk bought very cheaply ,so no risk. Mark Soskin- Rhythm Vision" (Prestige)- I'd heard of this guy and seen him live once, plus Bennie Maupin . How bad could this be. Answer of course is really quite bad. Smooth jazz funk with very little edge to arouse interest "Walk Tall" by Zawinul is quite good but the rest is all saccharine and no fibre. Next Reuben Wilson -"Cisco Kid"- (Groove Merchant) - cheesy cover and lame cover tune choices look ominous. On the other hand my eye was attracted to the sidemen listed Melvin Sparks, Mickey Roker. Turns out to be pretty good despite the rather damning review at AMG. So I'd say this was recommended and worth playing again and a good investment at £2. Finally Blue Mitchell - "Blue's Blues" (Mainstream ) UK edition from 1980s. This delivers the goods on four longish tracks. Very nice indeed. Highly recommended. Edited March 3, 2013 by Clunky Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Currently having a flashback to my youth... 1978 to be precise. Now playing - the bathroom break record for DJs in the late 70s - The Outlaws "Bring It Back Alive". Playing side 4, "Green Grass And High Tides". This band was a blast to see live back then. The whole band would wind up on guitars by the end of this song. I think even the drummer wound up with a guitar by the end. I think this part of the reason why my right ear rings a bit these days.

Larry Kart Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 "Gil Evans Orchestra" (John Carisi & Cecil Taylor) - Into the Hot (Impulse). CT's three tracks are the meat of this album, but John Carisi's pieces are pretty remarkable. Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones' sarcastic one-sentence dismissal of them still bothers me."..cool progressive, you dig?" I think Jones said. Oh, boy. Quote
