jeffcrom Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Spinning some 45s. Today's standout - "But Not For Me"/"Seleritus" by Ahmad Jamal on the Parrot label. This was Richard Davis's recording debut. I'm not a huge Jamal fan, but I really like this "But Not For Me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Lee Morgan 'Sonic Boom' (King) Always thought the title track went like mad on that one and was in a different class from the other tracks. Someone - Higgins, I think - is making a lot of "gone" noises on that one. Notice it had a different recording date from the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone - Higgins, I think - is making a lot of "gone" noises on that one. Notice it had a different recording date from the others. Hmm - not thought of that one before. The title track has significantly more 'ooomph' than the rest of the session, although I like it on the whole. Can't go wrong with Cedar Walton and Billy Higgins stokin' the fires. Fathead Newman also fits in very well in a Morgan group IMO.

kh1958 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Stan Levy--This Time the Drum's On Me (Bethleham) Wow! Dexter on that one! Dexter sounds good on this one, as does the rest of the group. Found on Friday at Half Price Books. Mingus - Blues and Roots - Atlantic (stereo, green & red label) My first Mingus album, I bought it with my busboy tip money when I was 16. Three years ago. The first side of this album is really great. Side 2 grew on me over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasing the Korean Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 The first side of this album is really great. Side 2 grew on me over time. "Moanin" on side one (Mingus tune, not Bobby Timmons) is my favorite on this album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone - Higgins, I think - is making a lot of "gone" noises on that one. Notice it had a different recording date from the others. Thanks for reminding me aboout this one Bill and Bob. Disposed of the vinyl years ago but it's a fine session with Fathead being something of a BN wild card. The cds second session withe the three horn front line has some nice sounds too. Higgins is certainly 'gone' on Sonic Boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Parker/Gillespie/Powell/Bauer/Tristano 'Bebop Highlights' (Temple) Incidentally, has anyone ever come across this 'Temple' label before? It's heavy vinyl with black label and DG - LP sleeve is 'brown paper bag' shade card with 'Bebop Highlights' on the cover and typed script with the band lineup. Otherwise no further details, no reverse sleeve notes. Almost like a transcription disk or a posh back street bootleg. Weird !

BillF Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Joe Albany 'Proto-Bopper' (Spotlite) Saw Albany playing an upright piano in an upstairs room in a pub in Manchester in the 1970s during a tour organized by Tony Williams of Spotlite records. Albany looked in bad shape physically, which wasn't surprising in view of his misfortunes. Have some lovely Albany with Lester in my collection.
