sidewinder Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 The Ric Colbeck solo on side two, over the ostinato piano-drum pattern, is really something else and totally makes that record for me. I got it sealed years ago but I think it was $20. Grrrrrrrr ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durium Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 HOWARD RUMSEY's LIGHTHOUSE ALL-STARS Howard Rumsey’s Lighthouse All-Stars Vol. 5 In The Solo Spotlight ( Contemporary C2515 ). The record contained six tracks, all with typical titles: Howard, Claude, Bud, Coop, S & B and Stan; a great challenge to find out what the meaning is for these rather weird titles. Well, I guess, most of you will understand how these titles were born, if you learn that the musicians of this all-star group were: Howard Rumsey, leader and bass player, Bud Shank, alto saxophone; Bob Cooper tenor saxophone; Stan Levey drums; Claude Williamson piano; Stu Williamson trumpet and Bob Enevoldsen valve trombone. Mind that the subtitle is In The Solo Spotlight, so I hope the penny has dropped. Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-stars Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 A long day's shopping in Cardiff today started by taking a long look through the second hand shop in the market. And I snagged this one, in perfick nick, for eight quid. Buddy Tate - The Texas twister On the Master Jazz label, with a rather self-congratulatory sleeve note by the producer - someone called Bill Weilbacher (does he post here?). It's a wow of a record, with Buddy singing on two cuts. The local dealer must do a fair bit of research - found a CD of it (didn't know it had come out on CD) on Amazon.uk for one penny less than I paid - but I didn't have to pay postage.

ghost of miles Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Don't know how rare it is, but picked up the vinyl of Teddy Edwards and Les McCann's IT'S ABOUT TIME (Pacific Jazz). Did this ever get reissued on CD in Japan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I had been looking for that one for a long time not for the Anthony Perkins vocal (even if I have to admit he is a rather decent singer) but for the two tracks by 'The Lou Bennett and Kenny Clark Jazz Combo' that were part of the soundtrack of the 1963 film 'Le Glaive et la Balance' (a bad one!). Yes that was how Klook's name was spelled on the back cover and labels of the EP! The musicians on that Jazz Combo according to David Meeker 'Jazz in the Movies' book were Sonny Grey on trumpet, Sonny Criss on alto, Lou Bennett on organ and Kenny Clarke on drums. No personnel listed on the disc but this sounds right. Had to pay all of €3 for this EP plus the original RCA EP 'Blues March for Europe No. 1' (with its black labels) from the Blakey's Jazz Messengers dates at the Club Saint-Germain!

I'd never heard of it before. Any opinions? I hope to have time to listen tonight. The cover is terrific! That is a great deal. I bought a copy of that LP about 15 years ago. This record features one of the strangest covers of any Braxton LP. I'm not sure if it is disrespectful or honorific. I choose not to form an opinion either way. It is a good listen.

blajay Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks. Yeah, that's why I used the ambiguous word "terrific" to describe the cover. Maybe someone else has an idea of what that represents? Has Braxton ever commented on it in a publication that I might have overlooked? My impression is that it isn't disrespectful, but it certainly is strange. In some way racist? Not sure. Has this rabbit/boxer/cowboy symbol been used before for him in France? Wouldn't Braxton have had some input as to the cover art? I don't know much about the Futura label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has this rabbit/boxer/cowboy symbol been used before for him in France? I cannot recall if it was in the Lock, Radano, or Heffley book(s), but I remember reading that Braxton did not like this cover. I'm almost certain that he had no control over the "artwork." Side 1 is a nice solo piece; Side 2 is the first recorded piano composition (Comp. 16, I recall). Enjoy the music. Braxton gives you his all here, as always. Let me know if you want to trade that new copy for a VG/VG+ copy (he he) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well, Hodges' nickname WAS "Rabbit"... though the cover is bizarre. Not all Futura covers are THAT stupid. I have it on a Musica issue with an abstract rendering of saxophone keys. It was NM at $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've been meaning to post my all-time best find here - from a record-collecting standpoint, although the music is pretty amazing. A couple of years ago I was at a pretty sad record show in my hometown of Atlanta, looking through a set of boxes with records priced from one to fifteen bucks. I had to look two or three times at one record to convince myself that I was really holding A Fireside Chat With Lucifer by Sun Ra on the Saturn label. It was marked ten bucks, and he knocked a dollar off that price. I haven't checked lately, but at the time it was regularly selling for $250 and more on Ebay. That is truly a great find. I found that album at the Music Exchange in Kansas City in the late 1980s, for about $35. That is the only copy I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) I found a copy of this Riverside LP, in mono, with the original label, in mint condition, for $5.98 recently: This is one of the New Orleans LPs which was produced by Chris Albertson in the early 1960s.
