Steve Lacy - Eronel (Horo)

Willie Guy Rainey (Southland/Jazzology)

Willie Guy Rainey lived in Rico, Georgia, a tiny community southwest of Atlanta. Until late in his life, he only played rural and small-town parties and dances, but he played fairly regularly in Atlanta for a few years after this album was recorded in 1978. At one gig, well into his 70s, he was apparently quite taken with my friend Janna, who would have been in her 20s at the time. She told me that he told her, "Honey, we would have pretty babies. I'd even marry you." She politely declined.

Bud Freeman -------Superbud--------(77 records)

 

Late Bud , some what underpowered given that he's a bit too recessed in the mix. English pianist Keith Ingham complete the band. Bud always has plenty of ideas but this is not amongst his greatest recordings. Having said that, there is no bad Bud.

Interesting pairing. I've come to expect that sort of thing from Jeff.

Amusing story about Willie Guy Rainey, too.

Oliver Nelson, King Curtis & Jimmy Forrest - Soul Battle (Prestige/OJC). Generally, when the Penguin pans a Prestige jam session, I don't agree. This isn't one of those times. It's OK, but nothing big happens.

I'm spinning this again and it's weird that they only list Oliver Nelson on tenor when it's obvious that he's playing alto on a couple of tunes.

The Montgomery Brothers and Five Others (World Pacific). This one does not appear to have been reissued on CD, despite the presence of Wes Montgomery; it should be.

I think this came out as "Fingerpickin".

Yes, all of the Montgomery (Brothers) World Pacific and Pacific Jazz material made it to CD eventually.  In the U.S., they had new titles (Fingerpickin'; Far Wes; etc) and new covers.

More recently, Fresh Sound put out a 2-CD set containing five albums (including some Mastersounds and Jon Hendricks material) on those labels, plus a rare track recorded for Columbia in 1955.  http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/wes-montgomery/5110-the-montgomeryland-sessions-2-cd-set.html

Lyle Ritz - 50th State Jazz (Verve mono). I really like Ritz's ukulele playing - it actually reminds me of a little Johnny Smith's guitar style. But there are some pretty corny tunes and arrangements to contend with here.

Max Roach / Archie Shepp - Force (Uniteledis / Base). Separated from the Ritz by a couple of hours, lest Paul give me too much credit.

Old 10" LP time here at the Crompton house:

Edmond Hall - Quartette with Teddy Wilson (Commodore)

Louis Armstrong - New Orleans Days (Decca). I've had this for years, but I just put two and two together tonight and realized that this was Pops' first LP.

Ken Colyer - Back to the Delta (London). Six tunes by Colyer's Jazzmen; three by his Skiffle Group. I've long enjoyed Colyer's personal take on traditional New Orleans jazz; the Jazzmen include Acker Bilk and Dis Disley. By the time he made this 1954 album, Colyer must have heard the 10" American Music LP This is Bunk Johnson Talking - in "Moose March" he reproduces a supposed Buddy Bolden lick that Bunk whistled to demonstrate Bolden's style.

British skiffle amuses me no end. Maybe some of the Brits here can educate me - did people think that this bore any actual resemblance to any kind of American music, or was it just your own thing? Anyway, Alexis Korner is on board here, in an early recorded appearance.

I think the skiffle here was a sort of 'do your own thing' thing. Soap box and string to make a bass = low cost of entry and I guess when it started the WW2 rationing was only just being withdrawn. A bit of a craze - sort of the 'Pokemon Go' of its day.

Now spinning - Miles Davis 'Agharta' (UK CBS 2LP). Again, my old copy benefitting from a cleaning machine brush up..

Lonnie Donegan's big skiffle hits "Rock Island Line" and "Cumberland Gap" sounded totally American to me at the time. With his Scots/Irish voice he contrived to sound American, too. :lol:

I can remember hearing "Rock Island Line" on the radio here in the U.S, when I was a kid. Even though I didn't know much about music back then (some might say that nothing has changed there :)), I knew that he wasn't American. I can't remember if it was the sound of his voice or if it was mentioned that he was from the U.K.

My dad said to me once that Lonnie Donegan was "living proof that any bastard could make it in showbiz". I'm not sure it was one of his quotes, however.

Nice one from your Dad!

I saw Mr Donegan twice: once with the Chris Barber band as a featured artist at the St George's Hall, Bradford c.1958? and in the sixties in a Manchester club where he was spotted in the audience and given a big hand by the performer, now largely forgotten organist, Alan Haven.

I found an Alan Haven LP a couple of weeks ago - liner notes by Spike Milligan! I read on the net that he married Miss World in 1965. He died in January, in Stockport I think.

Yes, just looked him up and see he was born in Prestwich. I suppose he turned up for that gig on a number 95 bus!

But why have you posted that (admittedly very good) George Coleman album?
