So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[JSngry]

 

I'm thinking/hoping that there are now more lively transfers available in the general market place? Suggestions, anybody?

For the King Oliver sides, the Archeophone/Off the Record double CD (there is a thread here somewhere) is great. https://www.archeophone.com/catalogue/king-oliver-complete-1923-jazz-band-recordings/

The Off the Record reissue was lauded here.  I plan on buying it soon and was pretty impressed by their Wolverines and New Orleans Rhythm Kings releases.  Samples can be found here.

Now playing:

After finding Young's Verve sessions set for $20 and Basie's Complete Deccas for $2 last month, I've found myself digging into this set, which I hadn't spent much time with in the several years I've owned it.  I still have 5 or 6 discs of Verve material and the Deccas to hear.  Between all of this Pres and the Chu Berry Mosaic, I don't need to leave the house.

Thanks, both of you. Just ordered the Off The Record set. A bit pricier than I was wanting to go, but I'm fed up with having to listen to this stuff sounding like this.

Let's hear it for Larry Willis! Oh yeah.

Yeah, Bud´s first trio recordings 1947 and a very fine set from 1953, when he still was at his peak.

 

But he could still play up to his highest standards even 15 years later, as the 1962 set in Lausanne shows. I played it yesterday.

This 2 tenor quintet CD with Bob Cooper, Pete Christlieb, Mike Wofford, Chuck Berghofer & Donald Bailey is true winner.

I consider it on the same level as the Al Cohn / Zoot Sims sessions, and the Johnny Griffin / Lockjaw Davis recordings.

Their version of "Limehouse Blues" is as good as it gets.

The last entry in Barbieri's superb 1973-75 run on Impulse.

He's here on the IU campus tomorrow and Wednesday--hoping to catch a free set he's doing with Dave Stryker and Steve Houghton after my airshift wraps up tomorrow evening.

I put it in the car yesterday and expect to be through it by the time I get home from work today. Amazon is supposed to have it here today/tonight, so I'm just going to put it right back in the car and take up where I left off, more or less.

Looking forward to hearing some life put into it, or more accurately, recovered from it. I know it's there...
