That's me on the cover after listening to the glorious sound as recorded by Roy DuNann :lol:

but hopefully not with a chandelier coming down on top of you ! :D

The chandelier would not survive :rolleyes:

Now listening to (after the record was mentioned in a thread earlier today):

Debut Records 'Autobiography in Jazz' (Debut, mono)

A not very good copy that still carries a $1,98 price tag from the Princeton Record Exchange that remains unremovable in contrast with the Debut labels that unglued in typical Debut fashion! Mingus and Roach should have purchased their glue from the PRE stock!

The album was also priced $1,98 (Fed. Tax Included) when it came out!

Last night and this morning:

Teddy Wilson - On Tour (Charlie Parker). Lo-fi tapes, great playing.

Muggsy Spanier and His Orchestra (Jazum). Even lower-fi - broadcasts recorded by a microphone held in front of an AM radio speaker in 1953.

Edit: paranoid, smart-ass comment removed.

One of my best friends described me as "a moody fuck," and I'm in a mood tonight. Some blues LPs are helping:

Tabby Thomas - King of Swamp Blues (Maison de Soul)

Johnny Littlejohn - So-Called Friends (Rooster Blues)

Robert Pete Williams - Louisiana Blues (Takoma)

Robert Pete Williams - Goodbye Slim Harpo/Viet Nam Blues (Ahura Mazda)

Johnny Littlejohn - Kitty O/Johnny's Jive (Margaret)

Tabby Thomas - How Many More Years/Goin' to New Orleans (Maison de Soul)

Lol Coxhill: DIVERSE. Ogun LP.

Any other fans of Lol?

I like Lol. Once saw him play a solo concert in a student cafeteria filled with dozens of candles. I think there were about six of us in the audience. Another time with a band playing straight bebop (much better attended!).

One of the least commercial musicians I've come across. Frequrntly just stops mid performance because he's run out of ideas or got bored and just starts something else.

Missed this tour though:

This is a great survey of his music from 1954-99:

Okay, apparently I wasn't quite ready to go to bed, since I played three more blues 45s:

Taildragger: So Ezee/My Head is Bald (Leric)

Baby Tate - So What You Done Done/Late In the Evening (Trix) - with the great Peg Leg Sam on harp on side one.

Hop Wilson - Broke & Hungry/Always Be In Love With You (Goldband)

I remember when the skip tour 'hit' Malton in N. Yorks, not far from relatives of mine. Would that be one of the Derwent reservoirs in the background of that photo? Cool.

Saw Lol at 'Jazz Britannia' - where like Andy Sheppard he did some great 'interaction' with the blackbirds singing in the Conservatory !

Just about to spin Tubby Hayes 'After Lights Out..' (Japanese Tempo, mono). new Sawano reissue.

Have the Robert Pete Williams and may still have the John Littlejohn - there's a box of 45's waiting to be cleaned sitting in my garage. Didn't think that anyone else here would have or even know about those.

Gives the lie to the idea that student audiences were much more open to experimental music in them days. I suspect everyone else was having a really good time bopping to The Sweet and Mud in another building.
