paul secor Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Three very good records that are obscure (at least I'll bet that not all that many copies have been sold) but readily available: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulpope Posted October 29, 2017 Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 Not utterly obscure but one of the rather unknown gems from the ECM catalogue - and the fact this was not reissued as CD didn`t help to spread the word either .....

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) I actually would like to know how many ppl have this,- it has to be my best jazz discovery all year. ive seen it once before years ago and passed- but now i have it. its so good i need to upgrade to a sealed copy. Immagine if Al Jarreau got to make 10 years of jazz albums between 1965-1975, one of the greatest missed opportunites in jazz IMO......

Dan Gould Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Don't you think a sealed copy would probably be warped beyond all playability? I've learned to stay away from sealed copies unless they are dirt cheap especially since many dealers won't warrant the condition, being sealed and all.

He's booked to play in a quartet at a private session at the house of a friend of mine and I've already reserved my seat. The previous afternoon he'll be with a student big band at LIPA (Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts), which was founded (and funded) by Paul McCartney. I might make the journey to Liverpool to catch Greg in that setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yeah, I've found sealed stuff from the 60s and early 70s that are A-OK. Thick vinyl, non-shrinky shrink wrap. When the vinyl got thinner and the shrink wrap more shrinky....not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I've been burned a couple of times so, since 99% of my buying is online, I'm hesitant with sealed vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yeah, if not able to see and feel, probably best. But do not auto-reject anything you see in person if it's old enough, thick enough, and stiff enough. Didn't mean to state that like that, so just to clarify, talking about records here.

soulpope Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 A little bit cheating here - as I don`t know this record at all - but based on the zilch information available I wonder whether more ears should listen to this platter (which is still available for rather little money) .......

duaneiac Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Any of Blossom Dearie's albums on her own Daffodil Records label are worth hearing and are now fairly obscure, I suppose. I have a couple of them on vinyl and this "live" recording is very nice with a good assortment of songs, including the wonderful "Someone's Been Sending Me Flowers" and the seasonally appropriate "You Have Lived In Autumn".

Utevsky Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Well this is a cool thread. I've seen many of my favorite albums here, as well as others I wish I knew or had. One such album that comes to my mind is "Acting Trio" on BYG, with Andre Maurice, cello; Philippe Mate, tenor; Jean-Pierre Sabar, piano.

soulpope Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Bent Berger is a specialist in West Africa drumming. 1986 he formed Chapter Seven, a group with a singular setting influenced by West African music: Two drummers, two bass players, three saxophonists and, occasionally, trombone. Anders Kjellberg plays drums together with Bengt Berger, Anders Jormin and Sergei Muchin play double bass, Tomas Gustafson, Roland Keijser and Lennar Åberg play soprano and tenor saxophones and Nils Landgren participates on trombone.
