jeffcrom Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Mine sounds pretty good. I kind of miss my old eight-track tape of this one, bought for a dollar at Woolworth's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Mine plays normally -- no pressing hiss or lite crackles. Spaces between tracks are silent. There's a 2-inch high 'D.J.' stamped in blue on the back cover. The vinyl was pressed at Sterling. Sterling was not a pressing plant - they were a mastering house.

kh1958 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Gil Evans (Ampex) How's your pressing? Every one I've come across has been noisier than hell... I just found this at HPB, it's a DJ copy--I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the LP sounded, not that much surface noise at all. Wonderfully vivid sound actually (causing me to crank it up pretty loud). I don't think whatever DJ got this copy ever played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffcrom Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hugh Masekela - The African Connection (Impulse). This is Impulse's reissue of the two-LP Blue Thumb album. I'm not an expert on Masekela's music, but I know that lots of it seems kind of lightweight. This one is fabulous, though, with Dudu Pukwana, Larry Willis, Eddie Gomez, and Nakhaya Ntshoko.

Yes, that one's fabulous! But to me, it's by far Masekela's finest (Dudu smokes... and spews fire!) Don't know that much yet, but nothing else I've heard had a similar impact on me...

jeffcrom Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) Claude Thornhill - One Night Stand (Joyce). Broadcast recordings from 1946, 1950, and 1953. Plenty of forgettable stuff here, but also several of those amazing Gil Evans charts. And there are some interesting musicians on the '50's material: John Carisi, Hal McKusick, Med Flory, Barry Galbraith. And Claude Thornhill was one of the few musical enthusiasms my late mom and I shared. She grew up listening to the big bands, and liked the rich sound of Thornhill's band; I was listening to the Gil Evans charts and Lee Konitz solos. But it was nice listening to this music with her. Edit: Gene Quill kicks ass on "Too Marvelous For Words," from 1953. Edited July 27, 2011 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 The Claude Thornhill broadcast recordings I just listened to put me in a mood to listen to one of my little treasures - a home-recorded disc of a broadcast by Ray McKinley and His Orchestra from August, 1947. There are two Eddie Sauter arrangements, including the amazing "Sand Storm." I also spun the flip side, by Skitch Henderson and His Orchestra. I write about these recordings here.

jeffcrom Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Spinning one more of my J. M. Keith discs before going to bed. This one has the Charlie Fisk Orchestra on one side and the Adrian Rollini Trio on the other. The Rollini side is pretty interesting.
