The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 I had a look at the CD version the other day. Not sure... Some of his work is just OK. That set looks as if it doesn't have 'Dresses too short' included. Oh, I see it does, with a less than satisfactory sleeve MG So far I'm digging everything. Let us know what you think when you finish. Interesting thing about Syl Johnson is that he started out as a Mississippi blues guitarist - I think he was in either Junior Wells' or Magic Sam's band - before he turned to soul. Can't think of any others with that kind of career pattern. MG Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Late last night, got a download of this lot from Amazon Illinois Jacquet - Five classic albums - only £4.99, so I didn't mind that I already had the last 2. Today, a shopping expotition to Cardiff, playing a certain tenor player on me ipod all the way Slipped into Kelly's second hand shop and snagged four groovy goodies: Count Basie - Basie Jam - Pablo (UK) Very, very groovy! Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis - Chewin' the fat - Spotlite So's this one. And isn't that a fabulous photo of the man!!!!! Lionel Hampton - Blackout - Who's Who in Jazz (UK Kingdom Jazz) Listening to this now. Very modern band from 1977 - Wess, Vic Paz, G Tate, R Hanna, Janice Robinson (tb), George Mraz, Sam Turner (cga), Vinnie Bell (g) Afro-Blues Quintet + 1 - New directions - Mira (Promo) I already had about half of this on an Ace compilation, but I don't mind that. There was another one in the shop but it looked trashed and I was bursting for a pee by the time I'd looked through the R&B & jazz, so I didn't have the time to listen to the crackles etc. MG Quote

Clunky Posted January 16, 2014 Report Posted January 16, 2014 Steve Lacy--- Moon----(Affinity) Sunny Murray----An even break ---(Affinity) Archie Shepp--- Yasmina/ A Black woman ---(Affinity) Ok, these are probably boots of boots ( I think ) but sound ok and clean enough to hear the music. All 3 bought yesterday for £8 seemed reasonable. BYG originals are hard(ish) to find and can sound pretty poor in my experience. Interesting music all worth hearing. Quote

These don't sound like needle drops but I gather some reissues of this material are. Good music none the less Quote

David Ayers Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Well we are often told that musicians didn't feel well-treated by labels, but it is really clear these performances are properly licensed and this has never been challenged. I just feel there is sometimes too much of a rush to denounce label practices. I know you didn't mean anything. Affinity was a label that served us well, even if apparently they may have occasionally seemed a little sharp to some musicians. Good haul, good price! Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 Quick post arrived from the US for Kasse Mady - Manden djeli kan - Universal France (Wrasse) I think I've got all of his albums now - probably the greatest male vocalist from Mali and one to me mentioned in the same breath as Kouyate Sory Kandia.

xybert Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 I'm really in to hard bop at the moment. It's a side of jazz that i've only really warmed to in the last couple of years, hence i have some major gaps in my collection. Some recent accuistions: Sonny Clark - Sonny's Crib Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' Sonny Clark Trio Red Garland's Piano Wynton Kelly - Piano Kenny Drew Trio Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Posted February 5, 2014 After many, many years of searching for an affordable copy, I finally found a copy of Lew Tabackin's "Angelica" for under $30 at amazon.de. Now I only hope that it comes in. There's even another copy left: http://www.amazon.de/Angelica-Lew-Tabackin/dp/B008Y255T2/ref=sr_1_1/279-0380511-0524428?ie=UTF8&qid=1391624616&sr=8-1&keywords=lew+tabackin+angelica Quote
