Miles Davis 'Blue Haze' (Esquire mono, flat edge pressing)

This was Gramaphone Magazine's review copy from 1960 and Charles Fox has initialled the back and annotated the Esquire EPs from which most of the tracks originate (at least here in the UK). Cool !

Wow! :excited:

Moog and/or piano. Pretty good

 

Chest hair on the cover didn't work for Herbie Mann and it doesn't work here either

Steve was big into "free love" and had a very timely vibe. Still does. And he could play the hell out of the bass. Spent some fine recent hours listening to master tapes of his late '60s band with Noah Howard, great stuff.

Manny Albam------ A Gallery of Gershwin------(Coral)

Imaginative recasting of some familiar Gershwin tunes for orchestra and up to 8 hands. Bought primary for Eddie Costa. Eddie does get some of trademark lower register runs in here and there. The orchestra doesn't bog things down and it's jazzier than you might expect.  Albam as an arranger seems to be a mixed bag- he's no Gil Evans or Bill Holman.  I don't get a consistent style to his arrangements. He tries plenty and things are rarely straight down the middle. His run of Coral albums Jazz New York, The Blues is everybody's business, West Side Story and A Gallery of Gershwin make for an interesting body of work. WSS is probably the pick but they all hold interest. The Corals being Decca pressings leave lots to be desired , nice heavy glossy covers though.

The Jody Grind-----(BN Liberty) 

Been on the look out for this as it's another favourite which sounded a little dusty on CD. The Liberty original has a gatefold sleeve as a do a number of other Liberty sleeves of that era (New York Now and a Papa Lou title IIRC)
