Duke Ellington - Ellington Indigos (Columbia stereo) I don't know how many Ellington albums I have, but it's a lot. This is probably the least-played album among them, but it was just right for me tonight. I didn't even buy this one - it was an unexpected bonus with an Ebay purchase. It's supposed to be a representative sample of the music Ellington would play for a dance, circa 1957 - a collection of well-done pop songs, three by Ellington himself.

Not Ellington's most profound album, but like I said - just right for tonight.

One of the more exciting LPs I've listened to recently:

7d62_35.JPG

Noah Howard: PATTERNS. On AltSax Records. Reportedlyhard to get (and/or expensive) on vinyl (I scored a copy in NYC at a somewhat reasonable price), but out on CD (if you must). With Misha Mengelberg (misidentified on the LP as "Mendelberg") and Han Bennink. Misha gets some good licks in, but it is Bennink who excites, as he unleashes a furious assault on the drumkit, while Noah wails aways in best "fire music" style.

Yeah, an interesting side. Jaap Schoonhoven brings it.

Yes, good point about Jaap. In retrospect, this album is failry important from a number of perspectives, particularly the development of European free jazz, the Dutch jazz scene, and American-European collaboration.

Too bad Noah's recent stuff does not come close; mostly in a fusion, smooth jazz mode. But the early stuff is killer.

T-Bone Walker Mosaic Box Set

I really must give your 'ex' CD version of the set a spin !

Definitely, though a CD spin isn't quite a Lp spin...

Horace Silver 'Song For My Father' (Music Matters 2x45rpm, stereo). Just arrived ! :)

How about that? Did you compare it with mono original?

Dexter Gordon 'Dexter Blows Hot and Cool' (DooTone)

Cover and labels look like the original thing but this is a reprint!

I have the same copy, the Counce and Perkins too. Rather poor pressings.

The pressing on my copy (an 'Authentic Records' release) is fine. I just hear too much boom coming from Leroy Vinnegar's bass!
