sidewinder Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Bought the above just before the CD era to replace my original copy which some borrowing **** failed to return: I guess the people at London did a pre-Photoshop Photoshop of Monk with stock footage of Picadilly Circus at night.

But I think it looks quite nice, you know? But why change it? I agree. I'm sure it's got something to do with licensing, but , who knows, maybe London label didn't like the original album and thought this would look and sell better. Monk's smiling face and the London night scene might bring a few punters in who might otherwise not pick it up. It's odd to see Monk on an album cover without a hat; most of the time (not all) he's got some cool looking hat on.I was taking stock of my Nessa LPs, decided to give this one a spin. I've only seen this LP once while out shopping; mint copy (soI bought it). Perhaps it is it more often spotted in the Chicago-Midwest area? Great sound BTW.

Anyway, a nice album, Ben Webster-ish in a way, and particularly nice on ballads. Listening to: Jenkins was a beautiful cat; his music has wonderful depths. Black Saint LP.

In this case, the CD must be pretty darn good, since the LP has really fine sound. Wonder how Chuck would rate them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I went back to the 24 track masters and remixed it for cd. I prefer the cd mix but the lp sounds fine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Qbico U-Nite - New York 1 (Qbico). Kind of an avant-garde Jazz at the Philharmonic show, from Tonic, March 14, 2004, with Daniel Carter, Perry Robinson, Arthur Doyle, Charles Waters and Andrew Barker, among others. I bought this multi-colored vinyl double LP from Barker about five years ago. Edited October 24, 2011 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffcrom Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Willie Smith - The Best of Willie Smith (GNP Crescendo). In spite of the title, this is not a collection, but Willie Smith's only full-length album of the LP era. It was made at two dates in August, 1965, with the Watts riots in between. Irving Ashby and Johnny Guarnieri were on the first date; Bill Perkins and Jimmy Rowles on the second. Nice stuff. Afterwards: I think maybe I'm hearing a little of what Allen Lowe heard in late Johnny Guarnieri.

The LP always sounded very good but the CD is better to my ears, which must be down to Chuck's remix. You get a nice extra track with the CD too.

colinmce Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 In regards to the Eddie Johnson being found more easily in the Midwest, this is probably true. I've noticed that record shops in Chicago always majorly underprice records from Chicago labels, maybe for this reason. I got mine from Dusty Groove for 3 bucks. I've also seen Thrill Jockey, etc. vinyl in the $2-5 range at Reckless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdavenport Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Jean-Luc Ponty - "Sunday Walk". This is from 1967, so predates his time with Zappa, yet sounds Zappa-esque to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
