duaneiac Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 More Watters The tracks on this album were recorded at Lu Watters nightclub, Hambone Kelly's, between Dec. 1949 and Feb. 1950. As on the 1963 album above, both Wally Rose and Bob Helm were on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 And now a little Turk Back when I first moved to the SF bay area in 1980, Turk Murphy's band still had a weekly radio broadcast on a local station. Those seem like ancient days now . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) If there is one drawback to this album, it's that it was recorded in 1979, so in accordance with the times, Sir Roland Hanna was forced to play "keyboards" instead of straight piano.

duaneiac Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) A terrific album from 1975. The two are joined by bassist Chick Domonico in a bare-bones and very entertaining recording. Ol' Ern croons old songs by Floyd Tillman, Don Gibson and Harlan Howard, but also 3 Kris Kristofferson songs.

duaneiac Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Asleep At The Wheel wins "Best Album Title of the Day" with this one from 1985. Johnny Gimble guests on several tracks and Willie Nelson and the Roomful of Blues Horns also appear on one track each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duaneiac Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) The autographs are not part of the album art, but this was the only image I could find. This is apparently a 1974 reissue of this 1964 album -- I would have preferred just the musical setting pictured on these covers, but there is a church organ style accompaniment added to the "four boys and a guitar".

paul secor Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 It's two tracks (or perhaps one, depending on where you look) from S.F. in 1964 and one track (or perhaps two) from the Half Note in NYC from 1965. The title track has some wild blowing from Trane - not entirely successful to my ears, though other's opinions may differ from mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duaneiac Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Listened to this one earlier An odd mixture of headliners from a concert recorded 40 years ago on Aug. 13, 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Al Haig - Jazz Will-O'-the-Wisp (Everest). Much of this album superficially sounds like cocktail piano, but the more carefully you listen, the more it rewards you. I know that there are better-sounding issues out there than this cheap 1974 budget-label record, but this is the one I've had for years, and it will do for me. I learned a lot about jazz from cheap Everest records. I think this is the last one I have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still hasn't been legitimately released, so that just adds to the legend! I'll take things you play at a party when you want everybody to leave, but those who stay get to stay forever for $500, Alex.

duaneiac Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 A 1972 album on Rod McKuen's Stanyan Records label. Not her best, but there are some fine tracks including her covers of Bobbie Gentry's "Hurry, Tuesday Child", Laura Nyro's "Buy And Sell" and the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun". Jean Turner may well be my favorite Kenton band singer. I love June Christy, Anita O'Day and Chris Connor, but I mainly listen to the recordings each of them made after their time spent with the Kenton organization. There's just not that much Jean Turner out there, so every little track is welcome. Five of the tracks on this LP (including one by Ms. Turner) ale listed as being a "previously unreleased master".

jeffcrom Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 JJA Presents the Music of Alec Wilder. A late-70s promotional record (in a plain white sleeve) with 18 of Wilder's pop songs, put out by his publisher. The recordings are mostly taken from Wilder's NPR show, American Popular Song, which featured one Wilder song every episode. The quality of both the songs and the performances vary, but the best tracks are very good. I particularly like Johnny Hartman's " 'S Gonna Be a Cold, Cold Day," Marlene Verplank's "The Winter of My Discontent," Mark Murphy's "When Yesterday I Loved I Loved You," Woody Herman's "Baggage Room Blues," and Tony Bennett's "The Lady Sings the Blues."
