patricia Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) Ethel Waters - His Eye Is On The Sparrow This is on a label I've never heard of, WORD, which seems to be one that specializes in spirituals, based in Waco, Texas. Generally, I'm not into spirituals, except for Mahalia Jackson and Odetta, but this is very nice. What a voice!! Also picked up two 45s: Brook Benton - Soul Santa - different takes, one on each side - Cotillian label. and Al Hirt - side 1 - Mame side 2 - Seven Days To Tahiti RCA label Edited July 12, 2005 by patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she has several on Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Jackie McLean 'Bluesnik' (BN 47W63rd DG side 2, mono). This LP is in incredible condition. I think it has only been played a couple of times from new ( ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three of these fine women had amazingly full, rich voices that I think would have been wonderful if they had done some jazz. I know that Odetta did a lot of blues, but I don't think Jackson did anything other than spirituals.

Though for what it's worth, the cloth it's cut from certainly seems not far off the 'jazz' mark. I am often proven wrong on items of discographical concern, however, so maybe Mike F has a better idea.

It's just that whenever I hear Waters' voice and the other two women I mentioned's voices I think that it would have been a logical direction for them to go. The quality of their talent and the soul-stirring voices they all demonstrated is amazing and they would all have been able to interpret jazz so beautifully, I think.

patricia Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) Belefonte Returns To Carnegie Hall - Harry Belafonte, Miriam Makeba, The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Belafonte Folk Singers. - 1960 RCA. Talking about Odetta reminded me of Miriam Makeba, which somehow reminded me of this 2 record set. Odetta also does a duet with Belafonte. She was at the beginning of her career, as was Makeba. I first heard Harry Belafonte at a friend's house, when she had received a little portable record-player for her twelveth birthday in the fifties. Belafonte had burst onto the music scene with his Calypso sound. Even on a tiny little record player, the sound was revolutionary to me at the time and I loved it. This album is Belafonte at the pinnacle of his popularity. Miriam Makeba made a comeback a couple of years ago, with an excellent collection, "Homeland", which includes a re-do of her monster hit, The Click Song, re-titled, "Pata Pata 2000". Her voice is as good as ever. On this album, Belafonte duets with Makeba on an interesting take on Makeba's hit.

wolff Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I usually do not mess with garage sales anymore. Today on the way home I saw one and pulled up close, and saw 2 big boxes of LP's. So I got out. Right off I could tell they were very well cared for. No ring wear, writing or splits. Ended up getting only 12. Too bad about the rest of titles holding no interest for me, as this was a minty lot! 10 cents each: Basie/Vaughan Roulette reissue Beatles: Sgt. Pepper Beatles: Yellow Sub Jethro Tull: Too Old to Rock.... Paul Simon: Still Crazy... and a few others. Best of the bunch so far is a double LP, The Great Blues Men on Vanguard from about '72. Great comp of about 25 giants. A few cuts from '38, but most are from 60's and sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the rest of the industry was going to the dogs and issuing inferior pressings on thin vinyl, these guys kept their standards up. I have a couple of the 'Essential' double sets from this vintage (Jo Jones, Vic Dickinson) and they sound great. Picked up for about £5 each !

There are quite often reassurances that the album may be played on stereo, without harm. Makes me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about US pressings, they were manufactured by Columbia in the NJ and Indiana plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
