clifford_thornton Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Much to my girlfriend's chagrin, Richard and Mimi Farina "Memories" (Vanguard), the final LP in the trilogy. Funny, she enjoys free jazz but hates folk music... needless to say, I've been enjoying it when she's not around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hadn't purchased 45ers in a long time but could not resist these latest finds. Four EPs as they were called: - Quentin Jackson (Ducretet Thompson) - Art Simmons (Ducretet Thompson) both from the Ducretet Thompson 'Jazz From Paris'. The Quentin Jackson seems to be the only date recorded under his name by the great trombonist. A late 1959 session with Clark Terry, Art Simmons, Elec Bacsik, Michel Gaudryand Kenny Clarke. Jackson sings on two of the four tracks. The Art Simmons date has the same personnel but Eric Dixon replaces Quentin Jackson on that one.. With Billie Poole singing on one track. Neither albums seems to have been reissued. Same goes for this one: - Guy Lafitte Jazz Sextet (Columbia France) with Raymond Fol on piano, Bibi Rovere on bass and Franco Manzecchi on drums. Arrangements by Fol and Martial Solal, plus this one: - Lucky Thompson in Paris (Symphonium) with Gerard 'Dave' Pochonet et son Orchestre (including Martial Solal). This one was reissued on the HighNote album 'Lucky Thompson in Paris'. Got all these on an exchange deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Yoshi Wada - Off the Wall (SAJ) quartet for two bagpipe players, electric organ and tympani, a more primitivist 'In C' if you will. Except that it's probably not in C. Jiri Stivin and Rudolf Dasek - System Tandem (Japo) great set of reeds-guitar duets from two storied Czech improvisers. Richard Landry - Fifteen Saxophones (Wergo) - the sidelong tenor-with-echo solo is well worth investigating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajf67 Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Dr. J: "Sealed copy of Neil Young's COMES A TIME (Reprise) for $7.99" I really like this album. Remnds me to get it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 (edited) Yeah, COMES A TIME is a great Neil Young album. Maybe not his "best" from a purely artistic standpoint - lacking the edginess of his best work - but one of his most consistently enjoyable/playable records for me over the years. There's a nice vibe therein. Wolff - so you are a fan of those Classic Records BN mono editions, eh? I've been curious...will have to pick one or two up and give them a try. The prices for original pressings on those on eBay are cray-zee IN-sane... Edited June 3, 2005 by DrJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 I have a couple of rare-ish British jazz albums on the way. A pristine copy of the original 'Under Milk Wood Suite' by Stan Tracey on UK Columbia and a nice mono copy of 'Presenting the Harry South Big Band' on UK Mercury.

mikeweil Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Got some rare items on ebay recently: Cal Tjader - Tjader (Fantasy, 1970), finally a very good sounding mint copy after a warped one ... Cal Tjader - The Prophet (Verve, 1968) only a few ticks, I can't see why Verve forgot to reissue this great sounding album with some of Cal's warmest playing, nice Joao Donato organ, and tasteful arrangements from Don Sebesky. Very nice! Chico Hamilton Trio (Pacific Jazz) with Howard Roberts or Jim Hall and George Duvivier - the latter has plenty solos here! Japanese pressing with a later Liberty reissue cover. Just learned this is due out on LoneHill CD .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricia Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Found the double album, "Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol II" today. All his early stuff. NO cover notes. I have no idea when it was recorded but the picture of Dylan on the cover is an early one. Was a HUGE Dylan listener in the sixties. A wave of nostalgia hit me when I saw this. Both records are in surprisingly good shape. No scratches or dirt. Unusual for records from the sixties, with the exception of jazz and classical, I find.

Z-Man Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 When you put on that Dylan Greatest Hits Vol II, go straight to Side Four. The stuff with Happy Traum (I Shall Be Released, Down In The Flood, and You Ain't Goin' Nowhere) is some of my all time favorite Dylan.

I hadn't even thought about Dylan since the sixties, but was reminded of him when he did some work on the Michael Douglas film, Wonder Boys and won an Oscar. His music certainly has legs. The songs you mention are some of my favourites from my salad days. Thank you again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Well sadly I'm gloomy about buying vinyl on ebay at the moment. I started using ebay about 8 weeks ago. Out of 9 transactions, one failed to show up and in two record condition was pretty much unplayable. I thought I'd been pretty careful re sellers with good feedback. Perhaps this reflects the vulnerability of vinyl rather than unscrupulous ebayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) Was a HUGE Dylan listener in the sixties. I am a HUGE Dylan listener right now. Sundazed realeased a great sounding reissues of his early records from mono original master tapes at good price, reccomended...and I won a sealed first pressing of 'Desire' on ebay at ten bucks some times ago. Mr. Zimmerman rules, he is one of these human beings like Miles or Trane, blessed by God, Allah or Buddah or whatever you call HIM Edited November 17, 2008 by porcy62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years later I briefly went to CDs and got rid of my records and turntable. I actually dumped my whole record collection and my turntable for fifty dollars!!! DUH!!! I then had to start all over again, doing penance for making such a collossal error. Since then, having gone back to vinyl, I have mostly concentrated on jazz and the odd classical disc and hadn't even thought of Dylan. So, this was a departure, but I'm enjoying the set.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Not sure it's a favorite....but at 99 cents, this Mal Waldron 2-fer is pretty good. Only thing is, it's more of a Prestige half-assedfer since LP #2 isn't Waldron at all, but rather JJ Johnson/Kai Winding 'Early Bones.'

captainwrong Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Inside Sauter-Finnegan, Sons of Sauter-Finnegan and Carlie Barnett - Redskin Romp. If you know anything about these records, they all have beautiful Jim Flora covers. These records are all in beautiful shape (one has a slight stain on the back but that's it.) I paid more for them than I'd care to admit, but I've been looking for them forever and the covers are in such good shape. Not my copies, but mine are as nice, in not nicer (and mine are LPs, not 45 albums): Edited November 17, 2008 by Captain Wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Due to recent economic situation I turned myself in a annoying guest, begging for old and forgotten records. Some friends and relatives are happy to get rid of them, and of me, I presume. So I got some classical and pop/rock stuff in these days, for free.
