jeffcrom Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 A couple of odd ones: Adrian Rollini Trio (Epic EP) And deep into TTK territory for this one: Don Elliott - Music for the Sensational Sixties (Design mono). Equal parts jazz, bachelor pad pop, and exotica. Some nice Hal McKusick bass clarinet along the way. Quote
mjzee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Sorry for the big pic. Not the best mastering on this pressing. . . a bit strident, though swinging hard. But such great music. I loved the liner notes on this package. Quote
mjzee Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 I remember when he wrote a column for Down Beat in the 1960's. I believe he told a story about a guy hearing a record on a juke box and wanting to have it so badly that he broke the glass cover on the juke box and took the record. I may have misremembered it to some degree, but the gist of the story and the idea of that guy wanting to have the record has stuck with me. Max Kaminsky, I believe. Greil Marcus memorably used this story in his put-down review of Dylan's Self Portrait in Rolling Stone: "Kaminsky had to have that record. Would anyone say they had to have this record? No." Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Lucky Thompson - Illuminations (Groove Merchant). A two-fer of "I Offer You" & "Yesterday, Today"? But if it is, they goofed up the rhythm section for the first record. Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 Hampton Hawes - For Real! This recording never came close to my expectations. YMMV. Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Don Ellis ~ New Ideas Prestige Never saw that cover before. Different from the old LP I used to have or the CD I have now. Evidently changed to cash in on his Columbia popularity.Just picked this up in mint condition at a thrift for $1.50. From what I read it's a 70's reissue. Nice sounding vinyl. I'm already familiar with the material. Great stuff.Originally on New Jazz, IIRC. Quite individual vibes work from Al Francis, who in the mid-1980s made a fine trio record "Jazz Bohemia Revisited "on an obscure label Lost Cosmic Unity with bassist John Neves and drummer Joe Hunt.

jeffcrom Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Bunk Johnson 'Brass Band' (Dan Japan) Every time I visit New Orleans I make sure to go by George Lewis's house on St. Phlip Street - these amazing recordings were made in the back yard. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 9, 2013 Report Posted March 9, 2013 Freddie Hubbard - Night Of The Cookers Vol. 1. I'm sorry for fans of this date, but it still doesn't do anything for me. The trumpet playing just seems sloppy. They sound like they're having fun though. Quote
