What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Milford Graves - Babi. Trio with Arthur Doyle and Hugh Glover. First play in 15 years and despite all the weird stuff I listen to I still don't really get it....

I bought a copy of that for two dollars back around 1980. I hated the saxophone playing so much that I sold it. I wish I had kept it for the collectors' value alone - it's so rare that it fetches some impressive prices.

If you were in St. Paul it could be the same copy. Once you tune out the horns the drumming is impressive but not that well recorded.

[kh1958]

Albert Ayler, Love Cry (Impulse, red and black)

Archie Shepp, On This Night (Impulse, red and black)

[russes01]

Steve Lacy - Catch. Duo with Kent Carter- Horo 1978 - lyrical and intimate. Love late 70's early 80's lacy - probably cause that's when I started to listen but also because he was really hitting everything.

Guru Guru ~ Kanguru

Brain 1972 reissue

Spacing out & dismantling a Stratocaster . . .

and a drummer . . .

Krautrock at it's finest.

Good one. Used to have it but my beater copy got let go before the "big move." Kept a minty UFO (orig) that I got for like $15 years ago, though!

Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band - Farewell (Ascent) - terrific album

The Curtis Counce Group

Contemporary

Lester Young - Lester Young At Olivia Davis' Patio Lounge Washington, DC, 1956 (Pablo). Better recording than I thought it was going to be.

Someone over on the Hoffman forums claims that every copy of this he's ever heard suffers from inner groove distortion. Do you hear it?

Haven't noticed any. Sound pretty good to me.

Me neither. Of course, it's rather impossible over there to tell someone that they're imagining it, so he'll keep on thinking that he needs a new vinyl reissue. His loss.

Sonny Stitt - Blues For Duke (Muse).

Other than the crappy, twangy bass sound, which even seems to affect the piano bass sound, Sonny was on for this date and the rhythm section is smokin'.

Yes, Bill it's a nice one. Gerry's Big Band from the early 80's. Perhaps not quite as gripping as the original Concert Jazz Band, but some really nice writing from Gerry. Saw this band in concert in either '80 or '81. It was a wonderful evening.

Wayne Shorter - The Collector (BN/King).

[jeffcrom]

Brothers and Other Mothers & Brothers and Other Mothers, Vol. 2 (Savoy). Side four of the former and side two of the latter - in other words, all of Allen Eager's Savoy recordings.

[sidewinder]

Wayne Shorter - The Collector (BN/King).

Nice one !
