The Mutt Carey sides of Jazz New Orleans, Volumes 1 & 2 on Savoy. (Punch Miller gets the other side of each, but I only wanted to hear Carey's tracks tonight.) Of the nine musicians who participated in Mutt's two sessions, six were from New Orleans. But this is still very stylistically heterogeneous music. That's one of the things I love about it, and about much New Orleans music. Mutt Carey and Pops Foster in some ways represent a different stage/generation of jazz than do Danny Barker and Edmond Hall, but they all sound great together.

My Volume 1 is a 1985 reissue; Volume 2 is a deep groove original pressing.

CBBB-----Off Limits-----(Polydor UK)

not played this in a while but it strikes me as rather more bombastic than other CBBB albums. It lacks the groovy swagger of the best ( the two volumes recorded live at Ronnie Scott's)

I agree, not quite their best - I think they were aiming for a 60s groovy sound with the futuristic titles, maybe to generate more sales? This one also seems to be recorded particularly ‘hot’. I guess they were taking their lead from ‘Bitches Brew’?

Albert Ayler - Vibrations (Arista/Freedom)

CTI All Stars - California Concert (CTI double album)

One of these albums is better than the other, of course, but I'm glad to have both. To me, the CTI is what Jazz at the Philharmonic was 20 years before - a loosely-organized all-star concert of solid, but populist jazz reflecting its time.

Today's vinyl, so far:

Ben Webster - Did You Call? (Nessa test pressing - thanks, Chuck!)

Joe Henderson - Page One (BN UA press)

Company 4: Steve Lacy & Derek Bailey (Incus)

Charlie Parker - One Night in Chicago (Savoy)

New Orleans Dixieland Express (Southland). This has 50s tracks with bands led by Emile Christian (of the ODJB), Joe Capraro, and Tony Almerico. Not profound, for the most part, but very enjoyable. The biggest pleasures on these tracks are courtesy of the clarinetists: Raymond Burke with Christian, young Pete Fountain with Almerico, and Johnny Reininger with Capraro.

Nice mix of sounds, Jeff.

a favorite of mine -- finally nabbed the original on Voce del Padrone after years of searching.

I had noted you mentioning it, so didn't hesitate a second when finding it last month during a short stay in Tokyo (along with a few other marvels).
