  3. What vinyl are you spinning right now??

    this double LP contains some of the best Coltrane I know. Songs like Living Space (that Tyner solo 😮) and Feelin Good. You could hardly believe it wasn’t released immediately. Of course all of it was later added as bonus tracks on the Impulse! CD’s and Living Space was a release on itself. Those were among my first jazz cd’s and I still cherish this music.

    Bang, bang,bang, bang, what a run that is

    Pim, do you have a cross on the floor where you stand to take the photos? You're positioning is very consistent I've noticed 😃

    Haha I haven’t. I just make sure the LP labels are at the lower edge and the cover at the upper edge ;) awful weather here today so a good opportunity to spin some music :)

    Again the Pepper box. Music that probably everyone around here already owned and enjoyed for long time but I had a hard time enjoying Pepper for a long time. But I had a similar thing with Jackie McLean who I now regard as one of my favorite sax players. Anyway this excellent Japanese 3LP contain three of the Village Vanguard nights. Excellent compilation in excellent sound. Enjoying it very much.

    Another cool cat I enjoy very much. This would be a great selection for the Craft Contemporary series. Side A sometimes sounds Third Stream in my ears. Very interesting stuff with great playing by the whole band.

    Those two tunes -- and others from the same 1981 Keystone Korner gig -- have been released on CD with slightly different titles:

    Keystone Bop: Sunday Night

     

    and

    NS5qcGVn.jpeg

    Keystone Bop: Vol. 2 Friday/Saturday

     

    These two CDs compile three LPs -- A Little Night Music, Keystone Bop, and Freddie Hubbard Classics -- plus one unreleased cut.

    However you listen -- vinyl, CD, or whatever -- it's outstanding music.  :) 

     

    Added them to my Spotify wishlist thanks!

  21. Multi-keyboard albums (sans horns, and no acoustic piano) — like Mal Waldron’s “The Call” (JAPO, 1971) and Roland Haynes “2nd Wave” (Black Jazz, 1975)

    Very specific, I realize. But these two albums have really been scratching an itch the last couple days — and I’m lookin’ for more.

    In particular, parts of Mal’s The Call — specifically Jimmy Jackson’s organ playing — really reminds me of what Rick Wright added to the textures of some pre-Dark Side era Pink Floyd. That, plus all the static harmony, pedal-point bass playing, and semi-simplistic drumming (by jazz standards).

    Gosh, I sure wish Mal had done more on electric piano — did he ever touch the instrument again? The wikipedia entry for this album says it’s his only leader-date with a non-acoustic-piano keyboard.  Didn’t he do some stuff with Embryo, and maybe some of that was on e-piano or maybe Rhodes?

    Mal played some more electric piano on this one:

    pretty much in the style of The Call. Very nice record also with Jimmy Jackson. I’ve reviewed it here:

    equally as good is:

    https://www.discogs.com/release/2689459-Embryo-3-Featuring-Jimmy-Jackson-Steig-Aus

    I reviewed it here:

    https://snake-out.blogspot.com/2021/05/1970-embryo-steig-aus.html?m=1
     

    then finally there’s this one:

    https://www.discogs.com/master/963637-Mal-Waldron-Candy-Girl
     

    Mal is credited as composer only but I am 99.9 percent sure that Mals playing here. Or Frank Abel overdubs himself with the best Mal Waldron imitation I’ve ever heard. It’s a more funky album. Not essential but interesting to hear Mal in this setting:

    I have this on CD, I think the Conn reissues. It had not been reissued when it was recorded. The mood is quite similar to "Idle Moments" from the same period with the same musicians. 

    Very nice music in my case more for back ground listening, since for my tastes the rhythm section Pearson-Cranshaw, Harewood" is a bit too mainstream-ish. I love Hutch´s following albums much more, especially one with Sam Rivers and Andrew Hill .... 

    yeah the more adventurous Hutch is more interesting but The Kicker remains a very solid date. And the Tone Poet sounds amazing. I have always liked this version of Bedouin best. 

  25. Streaming and how much does one need to own

    in Miscellaneous Music

    I have 876 cds. I stopped collecting them and only buy them when not available on vinyl like the new Tapscott recordings. A few years ago my preference changed to vinyl. 
     

    I have 460 lps and still buy those. But I realize there’s a serious space limit and money limit to buying them so I tend to be a lot more critical in what I really want to own physical and what I could leave without. When I still bought cd I could easily buy 50 cds for 5 euros or less a piece on a record fair. Of those there were maybe 10 I listened to more than just one time. So I sold quite some cds and limited my wantlist. My current wantlist on Discogs contains something like 30 items. I also enjoy it now sometimes to save up some money and then spend a little more on a collectors item I’d really like to have like Mal Waldrons Spanish Bitch for example. Anyway @HutchFans remark on needing and wanting is very true of course. Music collecting remain a very addictive activity.

    I use Spotify to select what I’d want to buy and what not. Part from that I don’t really feel for it. Pushing a button on my smartphone just doesn’t have to do a lot with that music listening experience I am looking for. I love it to put on a lp, read the liners and sit down in front of my speakers with a drink. I also dislike the fact that Spotify is the one who still really ‘owns’ the music which means I don’t control it: I don’t own it and they could easily remove music I want to keep forever. I used to have a VG collection of MP3s too (when it was the IPod decade) but never listen to them anymore
