colinmce Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've been eyeing the reissue of that one. Seems foolish to ask you if its "worth" the $23... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 The Cacophonic pressings I've heard are a little noisy but so are the originals... really heavy music as you might imagine. Free Jazz is a little more structured composition-wise (ironically), whereas Le Nouveau Jazz is pretty nasty/wooly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked out a deal on clean copies of both Mouloudjis for far less than one usually costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 The Genius of Art Tatum #9 (Verve trumpet label), and Les Spann, Gemini (Jazzland). The Les Spann is a very nice album and not too well known. I first came across Spann on "Side by Side"which was the first Ellington album I ever heard. I still have a soft spot for it. I don't find Spannn especially individual but Gemini is fine session which was recorded pretty well , even if my Jazzland pressing isn't too hot.

I like it also; It is nicely recorded and this copy appears little played; I was lucky to find it at Academy Records in New York a couple of months ago--and a bargain at $12.

Chuck Nessa Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Bob Wilber/Kenny Davern - Soprano Summit (World Jazz). Really enjoyed this one tonight. Looks like this one crossed the Atlantic twice. It has a UK copyright import label. Not my copy - just a picture I found on the web. I wondered what the sticker was. Jeff brought this out to taunt me. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this one crossed the Atlantic twice. It has a UK copyright import label. Not my copy - just a picture I found on the web. I wondered what the sticker was. Jeff brought this out to taunt me. :-) Not to taunt, but partially in protest. And to see if I was crazy in remembering it to be pretty good. I don't like everything I've heard by Wilber (or Davern), but the best is pretty good, in my opinion. I think I have owned five Soprano Summit albums at various times, and divested myself of all but two of them - their first, pictured above, and a live album from a British tour, with Dave Cliff and Peter Ind. The three I got rid of didn't move me, but I really like the two I kept. I think I've loosened up a lot over the years. There used to be a lot of jazz artists I just didn't like at all. As I have gotten older I have found that I like some of their recordings (while not accepting everything they've done), or just like them for what they are, without expecting too much. Sometimes I want profound expression; sometimes all I want is pleasant musical diversion. And sometimes I want something in between, which is where the best parts (not all) of the above album fall.

colinmce Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Jackie McLean - One Step Beyond (BN mono). Second spin in two days of this recent find. Seeing a pullback on this photo would probably be a mind-blower. I always assumed pretty absentmindedly that Jackie was on a sailboat until I looked closer and realized that he was probably on the roof of a building. But seeing the shot contextualized would be pretty incredible I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Gil Evans Plus Ten, from this 1975 Prestige two-fer. Inspired by Bev's comments in the soprano saxophone thread, which made me remember that this was my introduction to Steve Lacy. A really beautiful album.

Yes, I asked that question back on Board Krypton, and the answer was that, yes, it was on top of a building in NYC, and that that's some sort of broadcast-tower-ish thing he's holding on to.

I've been told the Japanese "Le nouveau jazz" is a stereo pressing. If so, is it "real" stereo? I think my copy is stereo but honestly have no idea. Catalog number is "SL-5007-AX". My copy is a white label promo and all the text on the back and inner gatefold is in Japanese. The pressing quality is pristine and not a single click is to be heard which is nice. Tonight's spins: Larry Young - record one of the Mosaic box (thanks faceofthebass!) Freddie Hubbard "the artistry of" (impulse, stereo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yes, the original Philles LP, because nothing sounds 100% like Philles except Philles original pressing, and also because I got lucky about 30+ years ago and found a sealed copy in some weirdass mom & pop (minus the pop and + the Laura Wingfield on Thorazine sidekick) store in Fort Worth with cats running the show, yes, real cats.
