What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Some new Miles vinyl, to accompany my reading of the new 'Last Miles' biography (an excellent read, by the way):

'You're Under Arrest' (CBS) :rfr front cover but nice inner sleeve art doodles. Heard much of this music live during the 1985 European tour, brings back fond memories.

'We Want Miles' (CBS 2LP set)

'Siesta' (WB, with Marcus Miller)

June Christy: Something Cool (Cisco Records reissue) Nice album, but this is the second copy that is a lousy pressing. First one was badly warped. This one is too noisy. Will be sending it back.

Newly arrived Clifford Brown Mosaic LP set. :tup

Sold my original Pacific Jazz title(Jazz Immortal) a while back, so I thought this would be a good way to get the material back in my collection.

An old Jazztone Society LP Prez and Chu Side one is Lester Young and the Kansas City Six and side two is Chu Berry and His Jazz Ensemble. Old and kinda scratchy but the music is super and that's all that counts. These sessons were orignally on Commodore records from the late 30s early 40s.

Young Louis- Louis Armstrong 1932/33- RCA (France) Jazz Tribune 2 LP- patchy collection of RCA sides, Satch's slide into commercialism started really early but these are a mite tougher than I'd expected.

The transfers in the whole Jazz Tribune series seem to be excellent and this one's no different.

Their time will come , oh yeah! obscure grouping of unknowns ( to me that is) on Revelation 11, 1969

Oliver Nelson 'Full Nelson' (Verve. One of his best, IMO)

Followed up with some Clarke/Boland Big Band gems in recognition of both the late and great Benny Bailey and Jimmy Woode:

'On Her Majesty's Pleasure' (Polydor/Black Lion)

'Fellini 712' (MPS French issue)

'Faces' (MPS original)

'Now Hear Our Meaning' (UK CBS issue)

'Changes of Scene' (UK Verve, with Stan Getz)

The Thoshiba-EMI reissue of the Something cool LP sounds very good. It's a 1981 mono release! Good pressing quality. :tup

Jimmy Raney-In Three Attitudes-ABC original pressing.

Some tracks with Bob Brookmeyer and some with Al Cohn joining Jimmy on the front line. Both Red and Whitey Mitchell are also present along with John Williams,Osie Johnson and Jack Edie.

Thoshiba-EMI

Is this what all the Japanese Sun Ra records are on?

;)

Btw Sidewinder, I really like that Jack Bruce record. Got the US version recently and would like to get the previous one with John McLaughlin. Hopefully can find a reasonably-priced version of it!

Just back from a five and a half hour walk up and round Lochnagar in driving, torrential rain, wind and mist, soaked to the skin and completely knackered. Put on "John Coltrane Live at Birdland with Eric Dolphy" probably my favourite Coltrane LP. The version of Miles Mode on this is quite simply superb.

And I ask myself, "Why do people do the things they do?"

Are you mad at yourself or something...? :blink:

It cost me the grand total of £7 :excited:

I like it - but think 'Things We Like' is even better. The latter is much more a straight-ahead jazz album. Must have confused the rock 'n roll Cream fans no end when it came out.

Earl Hines "Quintessential '74". I'd say it's a masterpiece of improv.

Last night amongst other things, I was spinning some Earl Hines Decca 1934 sessions- boy does he swing really hard, did Hines ever have an off period in his career??

Paris 1965 solo session (Ducuret Thomson) remains my favourite LP session.
