mikeweil Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I noticed the one LP I put on the most often is this one (in its OJC LP incarnation): No heavyweight music, but just plain groove and fun. Remember, not necessarily your best coice, but the one that is actually spinning the most often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I'm turning the grooves to dust on, alternately, (original mono, beat to hell on the surface when I got it for $10.00, but the grooves are not too much the worse for wear) and (original mono in amazing shape) I never get tired of those two and they're always at the ready by my TT!

ajf67 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Mine is probably Art Pepper's "Meets The Rhythm Section" and Coltrane's "Afro Blue Impressions." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 The Further Adventures of Jimmy & Wes The organ on this record just sounds so beautiful on vinyl. The bass especially. Nothing like organ bass on vinyl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Burke Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I'm just in awe of Timmons' solo on "Melanie". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Volume 1 of The Jazz Messengers at Cafe Bohemia. I have the Lexington version of this album and it must have played thousands of times. Still get kicks from listening to the LP. I also have the RVG of this but the sound of that vinyl is how I discovered that music and this is how it should sound to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcy62 Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 "KIND OF BLUE" and "IF I COULD ONLY REMEBER MY NAME". MILES DAVIS and DAVID CROSBY, the LPs I would bring in a desert island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I've been playing Johnny Hodges and Wild Bill Davis' "Wings and Things". One day this has to make it to CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrugs Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I try not to play anything over and over again since i have a huge backlog of listening but two that I can think of are the Abdullah Ibrahim/Johnny Dyanni duets on Enja. Goodnews from Africa and Echoes From Africa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank m Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) An early 10 inch LP of Ralph Burns composition "Summer Sequence" with Woody and one of the early herds. Part of it became "Early Autumn" Edited February 10, 2004 by frank m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 This is going to stand out like a sore thumb, but probably Lene Lovich's New Toy EP... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphie_boy Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Lately, it's been Woody Shaw's Stepping Stones which I picked up a month or two ago. I sure wish they would have included this in the Mosaic, but I'm happy to have it in any form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricia Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) The LP that I play the most often [in fact, it's playing now] is "Dixieland Classics" on JazzTone. Like most of the JazzTone releases, this one is a compilation and the lineup of artists reads like this: Muggsy Spanier Bobby Hackett Pee Wee Russell Max Kaminsky Georg Brunies [sic] Mel Powell Jack Teagarden Eddie Condon Fats Waller Miff Mole Bud Freeman Jess Stacy Not to be ignored, this collection also has George Wettling on drums, Artie Shapiro on bass, Shoeless Joe Jackson on clarinet, George Berg on tenor sax, Norma Teagarden on piano and Joe Caruso on the tracks on which George Wettling wasn't on drums. This is pure, passionate, fun Dixieland. Love it almost as much as my "Dixieland, Chicago Style", which was originally on vinyl, but a friend kindly cut a CD of the copy I had, also on JazzTone, before I had a turntable, so it doesn't count for our purposes. B-3r, I also have the Jimmy Smith/Wes Montgomery collection you mentioned, but on a CD I downloaded. FABULOUS!!! Every time I go to my vinyl emporium, I check the Jimmy Smith slot and, so far, it's always empty. Drat. I guess I'm not the only one looking for Jimmy on vinyl.

clifford_thornton Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I played the crap out of "Change of the Century" (Ornette) and "Four for Trane" (Shepp)... the classics always get jammed the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Williams Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 (edited) Over the years it's been Abdullah Ibrahim/Carlos Ward Live At Sweet Basil, Coleman Hawkins The high And Mighty Hawk and The Hawk Flies High, Wynton Kelly Kelly Blue, and more recently Air Air Lore and Serge Chaloff Blue Serge. Partly 'cos I love 'em, partly 'cos they don't hurt Helen's head like a hundred dogs(though Air Lore tries her patience a bit).

frank m Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 re Patricia and her dixieland record: (two posts back) this is a musically sophistocated group here. How many of y'all know who Shoeless Joe Jackson was? I'll bet it's some 80 - 90 percent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patricia Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 (edited) All I knew about "Shoeless Joe Jackson", from a music standpoint is that he played marvelous clarint with Mel Powell's Dixieland Orchestra. I sort of made a sports connection, but only periferilly, not [gasp] being a baseball aficionado. According to the liner notes, this was a pseudonym used by Benny Goodman on this February 1942 date. The track was "The World Is Waiting For The Sunshine". So, I gather that Goodman simply took the name of the baseball player, who was with the baseball team, involved in the fixing of the World Series. As far as I know, the baseball player wasn't a musician too. My favourte tracks on the record are two by Bobby Hackett, George Brunes, Pee Wee Russell, Bud Freeman, Eddie Condon, Jess Stacy and Artie Shapiro, with George Wettling on drums, which is a jam session on which they play "Carnegie Drag" and "Carnegie Jump" recorded in 1938. The other is Eddie Condon's Jazz Band playing "Oh Sister, Ain't That Hot?" and "Dancing Fool" recorded in 1940. George Wettling is one of my very favourite drummers of all time and he is featured on all but two of the tracks on this record. On two of the tracks, Kansas Fields and Joe Caruso do the honours. Great stuff. This is fabulous Dixieland!!!! Edited February 12, 2004 by patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I'll have to think about what's been played the most over the last year or two. I know I played these two, too much. Or, I've just moved on. Hodges: Blues A Plenty (Classic Records LP reissue) Dylan: Good As I Been To You Just Bob and his guitar playing me a private concert.

paul secor Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Interesting thread. These days I don't play much of anything again and again - too much to listen to - but over the years, I'd say that it's been Mingus, Mingus, Mingus ... (Impulse).
