The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Shopping expotition to Cardiff today and popped into Kellys 2nd hand shop in the market for an hour or so. Good vibes there Milt Jackson Quartet - an actual Oriole copy, not CBS, and looking pristine! Lionel Hampton - cheapo MFP reissue of a 1955 Clef album by the big band, with Eddie Chamblee sounding dangerous as ever. More Hamp - cheapo CBS reissue of a 1954 concert. Eddie Chamblee not with the band, regrettably. Another looking pristine. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Decided to pick up this CD of covers that the band cut waaaay back in the day but they weren't released until 1995 in the UK and 2003 or so in the US! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not expensive - a tenner for the MIlt, four and five for the Hamps. There was a Buddy Tate there - his Felsted album - but it was thirty-five quid (about $50). It was in the shop last year, too. If it's still there in six months, I'll make him a derisory offer. Ain't an album been made that's worth $50, to paraphrase Syd Nathan.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Today's haul is a couple of 2CD sets from Syllart, which are available from Sterns now, or Amazon, I think. Just been listening to the Sosseh. The sound on the earliest material is disgraceful! Sounds like those tapes that West African taxi drivers play. MOST authentic! I've got quite a bit of this, but there's a lot I've never heard before. Really nice! In the same series as the Laba Sosseh. I think I have quite a bit of this one, too.

BillF Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 How is this? As adventurous as the Bud Powell composition, or fairly straight-ahead Fifties stuff? Well, I think it's wonderful. As the cover illustration suggests, an exploration of the past, but such interesting choices, including the intriguing Powell's "Glass Enclosure", Freddie Redd's "Thespian", Barry Harris's "Tadd", Dizzy's "I Waited For You" and Bill Hardman's "Just For Marty". Remarkably strong soloing from people who aren't big names: Greg Gisbert (tpt), Ralph Lalama (tnr), Gary Pribeck (alt) and Hod O'Brien (pno). http://www.allmusic.com/album/glass-enclosure-r285962 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
