brownie Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hampton Hawes 'For Real' (Contemporary) Listening to that superb session with Harold Land, Scott LaFaro and Frank Butler in glorious mono sound! I want Brownie's vinyl and cigars. Not ready yet to prepare my will! Next item on the smoking range is a Partagas Lusitania. That should keep me going for a few additional years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Phineas Newborn, Jr. - Solo Piano Wonderful record, a document really, Newborn's only solo LP, but a strange recording quality-wise. Piano almost sounds like a harpsichord, teeny and percussive, with constricted lower register, unlike the superb recordings Newborn did for Contemporary. Too bad. It could've been glorious.

Chuck Nessa Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Tonight, the Earl Hines/Paul Gonsalves quartet with Al Hall on bass and Jo Jones on the drums. What a wonderful (an neglected) date. Over the Rainbow is a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted August 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 (edited) Herbie Hancock: Takin' Off with Dexter Gordon and Freddie Hubbard on Blue Note. Side 2 is great IMO. Only side I play(same with whomever owned it before me ). The tempo goes fast, med, slow which is quite enjoyable. Stanley Turrentine: Never Let Me Go with Shiley Scott (Blue Note). Lp has $2.70 price sticker from '64 on it. I bet it was a defective/store demo LP that got put in the used bin. I'm not quite as ageless as Brownie, so I did not pick this up new. Fairly unique music/instrumentation on this one. Organ and bass plus conga. Edited August 1, 2004 by wolff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesp Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 wolff, No, but I am trying out two new phono amps - I am comparing a Crimson preamp/amp with an Audio Note OTO se. My decision will be based on which one gets LPs right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Atom, welcome to this Board. And honored that you chose a photo I took of Marion Brown for your avatar. The photo was taken in Paris in 1966. The original was handed to Bernard Stollman of ESP along with some other photos that were used for the front and back covers of Marion Brown's ESP album 'Why Not'. The slide eventually turned up in Italy where it was used for a reissue of the album. Wish I could get the original back. But that's a long story!

paul secor Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Tonight, the Earl Hines/Paul Gonsalves quartet with Al Hall on bass and Jo Jones on the drums. What a wonderful (an neglected) date. Over the Rainbow is a classic. I bought this over fiteen years ago and played it once. As I remember, I had mixed emotions about Paul Gonsalves' playing. This was recorded less than four years before he died, and his playing doesn't sound as authoritative as it did in his prime. Nonetheless, "Over the Rainbow" is a beauty - he puts everything he has into it, and the feeling comes through completely. His playing on "I Got It Bad" is fine also. Hines and Jo Jones are masterful, and Al Hall is a rock. Jones' "tapdancing" on "Moten Swing" is a bit of pure magic. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize that for older musicians every day isn't easy and the music might not come as easily as it once did. Playing this record again reinforced that, and I was able to listen this time for what was there, rather than what I expected or wanted to be there. At it's best, this is a wonderful date. Thanks for mentioning it and getting me to finally hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couw Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Helmut "Joe" Sachse - Solo (Amiga) one of the very last Jazz LPs released in the GDR this one has Sachse playing often more than one guitar (at once), tapping his feet, and doing some flute (while playing guitar) too. May sound like a circus act, but the result is very much not circus music or free jazz that lost itself within the endless meanderings of self for that matter. Not the one for guitars in general, I like this stuff pretty well. There isn't a big battery of sound "enhancers" either, which helps.
