Great music but it’s marred by incorrect track listing and erroneous personnel Information.

Agreed .... and although excellent music still I was left with the impression that based on the musicians involved more concise results would have been achievable ....

Harold Land/ Blue Mitchell-----------Mapenzi------------(Concord)

 

 

I've not played this in a while and I'm impressed all over again. Besides the co-leaders Kirk Lightsey is pretty phenomenal on the piano but then again Albert Tootie propels things along more than nicely. Excellent date (1977 release)

Dr Feelgood ————-Malpractice———(Grand)

 

wonderful pub-rock by Canvey Islands best including at this point ( 1975) the legend that is Wilko Johnson. 

Terrific album

This thread really is turning into Memory Lane. Firstly it was Echo & The Bunnymen, then The Ramones and now even further back, the mighty Feelgood. "Stupidity" was the soundtrack to many a teenage evening. I just looked it up and it reached No.1 in the UK album charts!

Johnny Hodges - Mess Of Blues (Verve). This could've been called "Mess Of Creed Taylor Production" since he somehow made this small band sound like they're playing an airplane hanger and Wild Bill Davis' organ is way too far to the front of the mix. Very jarring at times. The worst thing is that someone appears to have played the last track of Side 1, "Little John, Little John" with a scalpel that amazingly plays through without a skip. I'd give this 3.5 stars for Hodges, 1 star for Davis and 0 stars for sound. Luckily, it was very cheap. :)

That’s good to know. I’ve picked a few of these Hodges plus organ albums but this sounds like one to avoid.

Now playing

 

Jimmy Witherspoon ——-There’s good rockin’ tonight———( Fontana/Interdisc)

 

Wonderful date recorded for Pacific. Sound juicy Teddy Edwards here.
