The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 This morning Buddy Johnson - Go ahead and rock - Roulette Buddy's last album, a couple of years before he died. Mosty re-recordings of his earlier material but some new gems. Recent posting here reminded me I hadn't listened to this in a good while The Jack Wilson Quartet - Atlantic (Discovery) MG Quote
jazzbo Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Rampart Street Paraders - Dixieland, My Dixieland (Columbia 6-eye mono). Okay, I already feel defensive about posting that I'm listening to this 1954 dollar-bin find. But it's pretty good. I bought it because among the personnel are two of my favorite dixieland/swing musicians: Eddie Miller and George Van Eps, and I knew that the others were solid players. And the album is solid mainstream/dixieland, and occasionally more than that. A dollar well spent. This may be in the Eddie Condon Mob Sessions Mosaic? I like the Paraders material in there. Nice sound too. Quote

Nice sound too. Indeed it is - and I had no idea. That looks like a good set, although I have much of the material on vinyl. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 preceded by Sirone - Artistry That Sirone LP is wonderful. Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Lou Donaldson - Signifyin' (Argo mono, rather than the stereo version shown here). What a band! Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 George Shearing - Satin Affair (Capitol mono). I should be in bed, but I'm still high after the gig. Desmond Egan was in the audience and apparently really enjoyed it - particularly, he said, our version of Ornette's "Mob Job." So I'm listening to this wonderful, corny album from the dollar bin - Shearing and Co. with string arrangements by Billy May. It sounds pretty good in the wee hours of the morning. Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Gene Krupa - Transcribed (IAJRC). 1946 Capitol radio transcriptions. I've always liked the post-war Krupa band. Lots of Red Rodney here, and some Gerry Mulligan charts. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 This afternoon Cootie Williams - Original Hit recordings 1944 - Hit (Phoenix) A wonderful set with a fantastic band including Jaws, Cleanhead & Bud Powell - and the original version of 'Round midnight'. MG Quote
mjazzg Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 preceded by Sirone - Artistry That Sirone LP is wonderful. It most certainly is Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Dave Brubeck - Re-union (Fantasy). Nice red vinyl pressing. OK music but certainly not all that adventurous. The red vinyl makes it tough to tell that the pressing's a bit beat up but not too bad. I wonder if this is why they did this. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Miles Davis - My Funny Valentine (Columbia) Two eye mono. Nice sounding pressing. I still think the latest CD sounds better but I got this for a good price so I thought I'd see what it sounded like. Quote

jeffcrom Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Hollywood Saxophone Quartet - Warm Winds (Liberty). Almost put this in the classical thread - one side is Spud Murphy's suite Warm Winds; the other side is Jack Marshall's Gold Rush Suite. Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Morgana King - The Winter of My Discontent (Ascot mono). A 1964 recital of Alec Wilder songs. The title song is one of my two or three favorite Wilder pop songs. I made an instrumental lead sheet (without lyrics) of "Blackberry Winter" a few days ago for a rehearsal. Something struck me - without the lyrics, it doesn't look like a pop song. The range, intervals, and all those 16th notes make it look like a page from a contemporary classical sonata. Quote
jeffcrom Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Alec Wilder - Octets (Mercury). A very early 10" LP - 1949 pressing (with a paper sleeve) of 1947 recordings. Wilder's octets are intriguing musically - poised somewhere between jazz, pop, and classical. And I love the odd titles he gave them; my favorite here is "Jack, This Is My Husband." Lots of layers there. Quote
