tjluke68 Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Serge Chaloff - Boston Blow-Up (Capitol original) Art Blakey - Three Blind Mice (UA original) - both a little scratchy but for $1 each at an estate sale, can't go wrong. Hopefully my Nitty Gritty record cleaner will help. Listening to the Chaloff now and it's pretty good with just a quick wipe with the felt cleaner and solution - few pops/clicks here and there but still enjoyable...

Larry Kart Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I remember buying Boston Blow-Up soon after it came out in 1955. Pretty sure I didn't even know who Serge Chaloff was; thank heavens for record-store listening booths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Christensen Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I could kick myself, I have exchanged 200 original BN, about a 100 Presige and about 5o Riverside, only for getting the CD's of the same. Never realised they would be worth a fortune. I have only 3 original BN's left, look at them once a while. I miss LP's, but too late now.

ajf67 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I found an LP by Emil Barnes with Doc Paulin's NOLA band for $2. The cover says Icon Records, but the LP label says Jazology. It looks to be from the early 60s and is in a Folkways-type cover, with a great photo. I haven't been a big new orleans listener over the years, but this music is so full of fun and life. It's infectious. Watching Treme' re-opened my ears to this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzology bought the session from Icon and used up all the leftover covers before printing their own. The Icon covers were really beautiful.

Bill Nelson Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 You need to tell us which version of Jamal's 'Tranquility' you got: the 1968 LP single-jacket with the close-up head shot of Ahmad on the cover (ABCS-660) -- or the easier-to-find reissue with a gatefold jacket on ABC/Impulse which came out in 1972. In 1968, Jamal left Cadet and signed with ABC, who released 'Tranquility' (ABCS-660) as a POP ALBUM -- even though it was produced by Bob Thiele. It was four years later that ABC re-released 'Tranquility' as an Impluse jazz album with a gatefold (AS-9238). Back in '68, ABC execs thought they had a happening soul music roster featuring The Tams and The Impressions. (Really cool, dudes!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a big Gary McFarland fan, I believe that this album overall does the best job of combining the jazz and pop aspects of McFarland's musical personality.
