Homefromtheforest Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 I'll trade you a mint "frampton comes alive" *and* a VG++ copy of "thriller" for it - sound fair? Quote
David Ayers Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 I took my copy to the charity store but they didn't want it. Quote
romualdo Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Hum Dono on CD! Great...just preordered. This will suffice until I win the lottery and can buy a mint original LP wow!! don't believe it - just made my day So, they must have had the tapes all along - hope it's not going to be a needle drop - that's not something that Dutton/Vocalion would do Quote
Eric Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 Great news about Hum Dono .... can anyone comment on the Gabor Szabo's? Also curious on the Szabo CDs ... allmusic reviews not encouraging. Quote
crisp Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Posted February 14, 2015 Sale. Most of the jazz is after page 20. Quote
Jay Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Is their shipping to the US really as bad as it seems? Quote
king ubu Posted February 20, 2015 Report Posted February 20, 2015 Not sure what bad shipping is - throwing stuff in the ocean and hope it will drift ashore on the right place? Ordered me some ... forgot the Dick Morissey, but then I don't really know him anyway - worth putting on the wantlist? Quote
jlhoots Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Is their shipping to the US really as bad as it seems? Hum Dono took a while to arrive, but it did show up. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Ordered me some ... forgot the Dick Morissey, but then I don't really know him anyway - worth putting on the wantlist? Definitely - he often gets overlooked but those Mercury and 77 Label LPs are up there with Tubby Hayes' output of that era, IMO. Particularly 'Storm Warning', a live session cut with Phil Seamen.

king ubu Posted February 21, 2015 Report Posted February 21, 2015 Okay, guess I got some catching up to do there, some day - sounds good what you say, that's for sure! I finally did order the Skidmore (TCB) and the McNair, too. Quote

Almost like a time warp.. Nice to see some more Vic Ash out there. Edited June 5, 2015 by sidewinder Quote
king ubu Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Okay ... now please bring on some Tubbs and some Tracey and some other modern stuff! Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Blimey - with spoken intros by David Jacobs. Almost like a time warp.. Oh how I loathed that man's voice on a Sunday evening. Fixed in my mind (along with the soporific music he presented in the 70s) with the horrors of the weekend being over. Only Sing Something Simple could bring you closer to topping yourself. Quote
sidewinder Posted June 5, 2015 Report Posted June 5, 2015 Ah - the Cliff Adams Singers with that guy on accordion. I have the feeling that one might have been on just before the jazz. Very much 'of its time'. Quote
crisp Posted November 17, 2015 Author Report Posted November 17, 2015 Jazz titles among this winter's new releases: Morrissey Mullen - Life on the Wire & It's About Time... The Johnny Dankworth Orchestra - Too Cool for the Blues - The 1959-60 BBC Transcription Recording - Volume 2 The Johnny Dankworth Orchestra - Highgate Hideaway - The 1959 BBC Transcription Recordings - Volume 3 Cleo Laine - If We Lived on the Top of a Mountain & Portrait Hiroshima - Hiroshima & Odori (Not 100% the last two are jazz, but hey-ho.) Quote
crisp Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Posted March 13, 2016 So-called dance band sale but with a few jazz titles thrown in. Quote

Are those two discs of BBC transcriptions worth getting (Bobby Wellins is on one of them after all), or is that overly polished and polite stuff? Quote
sidewinder Posted March 14, 2016 Report Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) No idea but at 99p each I'm tempted to have a punt on these. If nothing else you get the plumby vowels of e.g. Peter Clayton and the not so plumby but amiable Welshness of Dill Jones doing the intros.. Edited March 14, 2016 by sidewinder Quote

Not really known as a jazz man. But the late Peter Clayton's voice however was the epitome of cool and he was a highly supportive and knowledgeable enthusiast of contemporary jazz in the 1960s and '70s. I miss him. And Humph too for that matter. Quote

And Humph too for that matter. Agreed, Peter Clayton's style drew me to jazz in my late teens. He was enthusiastic and an excellent communicator. I really stopped listening to JRR after he died. It just wasn't the same. Quote
JohnS Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 I knew Peter Clayton well, accompanying him to many gigs, interviews and the odd BBC recording.. With JRR he chose the records played himself and tried hard to get a good balance of material. He always endeavoured to do the programme live so he could report on deaths etc. I agree JRR has not been quite the same since. He was a great broadcaster and all round journalist but never regarded himself as an expert on jazz. Quote
sidewinder Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) That's interesting John - JRR has never really been the same since Peter Clayton left it, I had a couple of requests played by him back in the day, always amazed that they actually got picked. He was excellent on 'Sounds of Jazz' as well on Sunday late nights. Charles Fox was also outstanding on BBC radio for jazz broadcasting around that period - very authoritive and his shows much valued by me (and wish I'd recorded them). Yes, David Jacobs was the guy with the plummy tones, that's who I was thinking of. Edited March 15, 2016 by sidewinder Quote
