Homefromtheforest Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Dropped $1400 Canadian today at my retired friend's house; continuing my dig through his collection. That got me 21 albums but it included J.R.Monterose on Lexington Blue Note, a black label "giant steps", and many more New Jazz, Riverside, and Blue Notes all in excellent condition. First spins from the pile tonight are: Julius Wechter 4tet "linear sketches" (jazz west, DG USA) Bennie Green "soul stirrin" (Blue Note, 47w63rd no "r" mono) Tubby Hayes "return visit" (Fontana, UK) Art Blakey jazz messengers "live at cafe Bohemia vol.1" (blue note, Lexington USA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Woody Herman Sextet--------s/t-----------(WRC) UK budget edition of Roulette session (At the Roundtable) Really good all-star line up. Nat Adderley, Charlie Byrd, Eddie Costa (piano and vibes) Jimmy Campbell (drums). Not your average Herman session. Don't get me wrong it's not some amazing gem but it is pretty nice. Poor cover, although the Roulette original is odd to say the least . for completeness here's the Roulette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not played my copy in around 15 years. Bought it around the same time that I got "whirled music" and the Alterations album on Bead. All sort of in the same bag if memory serves. The David Lee album is a good score!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 yeah, they are all pretty similar and enjoyable in their own weird way. Got Whirled Music, the Alterations on Bead, Choloagogues and a few others of this persuasion. The Lee is a nice palette-cleanser after all that weirdness!

Homefromtheforest Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ah yes the "choloagogues"(spelling?) is in the racks too...have not played these records in a long time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Claudio Fasoli/ Kenny Wheeler / JF Jenny Clark-----------Land--------(New sound plane/ INNOWO) Bought to get more Wheeler and Jenny Clark is always going to be bonus. Spare sounding trio from 1988. Digital recording which doesn't sound better or worse than many analog recordings but admittedly Jenny Clark does sounds a bit light weight, compared to how he's usually recorded. Wheeler seems completely at home with Fasoli's originals (all tracks). It's great to him have so much space in this setting. Recommended.

To call them pretty similar, isn't that a bit "all Chinese look alike" from the other side of the Atlantic? Ha, yeah I know what you mean. But they do require a certain weird "mood," at least for me. These are also four records with nearly the same personnel... It's funny, you know -- I was thinking "how many solo Derek Bailey LPs do I really need" but pulling out the Morgue the other day I was struck by how perfect it is compared to some of the others, and that sense of "perfection" can only be arrived at through experiencing the nuances of similar-but-different recordings.

Clunky Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) The Esquire art department surpassed itself with this alternative cover. Mind you the Prestige original isn't anything to talk about (although it is better IMO) . I'm uncertain how four stones equates or relates in any way to the blues or being alone. Perhaps it's the type of rock depicted or some 'in joke' that a half century later is entirely lost. Spinning this now as I found a nice near mint copy yesterday. The music is pretty good , perhaps my favourite Bryant. Sounds very fresh. Ray Bryant-------Alone with the blues-------(Esquire UK) dg etc.. here's the Prestige original for completeness Edited April 13, 2016 by Clunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue background for "the Blues" is a stroke of designer's genius, so I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to these stones than we, unsophistacated souls, can imagine.
