ajf67 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Which Jimmy Stewart movie? Turner Classic Movies channel had an all-day (yesterday) Jimmy Stewart festival. I watched "Destry Rides Again," and Hitchcock's "Rope" and "Rear Window" (which may very well be Hitch's masterpiece). I passed on watching "Vertigo," due to lack of time, plus I have seen it several times only recently. Interesting how well Hitch was able to use Stewart, and how well Stewart was able to adapt to Hitch's quirly little world. Yep, it was on Turner. I watched the end of Rear Window then the one after it, although I missed the beginning and didn't see the name. He was a clerk in a store and had a letter-writing romance with a woman. He later found out who she was and it was one of the women he worked with. It was also a Christmas movie so there was lenty of good feeling all around. Stewart was very young in it.

sidewinder Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 UA probably had some old jackets from the NY USA era lying around Leeway. Not uncommon Yeah, I know, although the vinyl and jacket come from two Blue Note eras rather far apart. You can't always tell a record by its cover/jacket The most common discrepancy I see is Liberty jackets with NY USA vinyl. I have a 'Cornbread' with that particular combo. NY jackets and 47 63rd vinyl is not too uncommon either. The UA vinyl with 43 W 61St NY 23 jacket is a more unusual one I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 (edited) Ronnie Scott- Serious Gold (Pye)- Coltranesque but nice stuff Introducing Villegas- Columbia (6 eye)- pretty beat but rather flashy pianist with a slightly unusual approach- don't know much (anything) about him. Jazz at the Plaza Vol 2- rather distant sounding Ellington plus guests, presumably recorded at the same bash that gave rise to the Miles Plaza set.

The film was Ernst Lubitsch's The Shop Around the Corner. I started watching it after watching Rear Window, and fell asleep about a half an hour into it. I have to try and get younger so I can stay up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can accept Stewart in most roles but not that of a Hungarian shopkeeper, not with that twangy, drawly American manner of speaking. For those who can, the film, by Ernst Lubitsch, is considered something of a classic. Anyway, back to the vinyl.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Some good Prestige twofers tonight. Mobley's 'Messages' and Red Garland 'Jazz Junction'. Nice sound on these mid-70s analogue pressings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Coleman Hawkins: Hollywood Stampede (Capitol/Holland) Good listening - Hawkins is especially fine on the ballads - but a bit of a personal embarrassment. When I took this off the shelf, I found that it was still sealed in shrink wrap. It had been sitting unopened and unplayed for over 15 years. So much for knowing my collection.

Does that qualify as a "great find?" After listening to Warne Marsh's All Music recently, and some Art Pepper, I got out a recent E-Bay purchase: a 1972 Contemporary issue of 1956 sessions with Marsh and Pepper. It's called Art Pepper...the way it was. This is the first time I've heard it. Nice stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajf67 Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 The rest of tonight has been: Jackie McLean Right Now Black label re-issue with the light blue Blue Note on the side.

sidewinder Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 The black label Liberty pressings sometime sound amazingly good for such flimsy pieces of vinyl. Just spinning Benny Golson 'Blues on Down' - a nice Milestone twofer from the late 70s which documents some nice Jazztet-like sessions for Riverside.
