Tom in RI

Are the Benny Morton track available elsewhere? I’ve got one track on a Blue Note reissue, Swing Hi, Swing Lo. Nevermind, I see I need to find the Chronogical Classic.

Pm sent on Chuck Wayne and Al Smith.

I’ve been happy with this player, https://www.soundandvision.com/discplayers/59 Yes it’s quite old, won’t play cdr’s, and loads slower than any other disc player I’ve owned. But I think it sounds great and I haven’t had any issues with it. I bought it used for $150 a few years ago. I’d love to move up to the Sony model Lon mentioned but they are quite a bit more. There are several for sale under $300 right now on eBay according to hifishark.

I’ve just scanned through all 9 pages, I think I saw two from Adams/Pullen. I’d say their records probably had the biggest influence on my listening then. Personal favorite is Life Line on Timeless. Also, as it was the first leader date I bought by him I’d mention Kenny Barron, Live at Fat Tuesdays which also the first I’d heard John Stubblefield.

In the ‘80’s I used to hit record stores in Boston a lot. There was one in Kenmore Square that labeled the Jarrett section “Jesus Jarrett”, that always gave me a chuckle.

Duke Ellington Complete 1936-1940 Variety, Vocalion & Okeh Small Group Sessions, disc 1-2.

Thanks for posting, donation made.

I’ve sold a fair number of used records at Audiokarma, they have a feedback area where everyone can comment on the transaction, which I think really helps. I also offered to accept returns and had only one out of 60-70 transactions. I would not be comfortable buying online personally but I’ve got more than enough music to keep me occupied. Fortunately I’ve got a really good used shop in Providence, Round Again Records, that won’t put out records in bad shape.

Thanks. I bought it today, hope it comes as described.

Looking for the VEE edition, anyone have one they are willing to part with?

Pm sent on The Blueprint Project featuring Cecil McBee, $5.00.

Pm sent on Charlie Mariano, Boston Days. Oops, scooped by Felser, never mind.

Package arrived today, packed as if a drop test was expected. The blemish Kevin mentioned would escape notice for the great majority of us. Thanks.

I’ll take it.

A masterful improviser laid low by health issues since the 1990’s.

In the previous thread noted I mentioned Glen Wilson’s Trombari, The Devil’s Hopyard. There’s a review here: http://www.pointofdeparture.org/PoD39/PoD39MoreMoments7.html?fbclid=IwAR0u4AHdUUiD5Ww5Qjj-pMYIV7VLmZ6xo7BJDDH9rASEStLGQ5r2DI7Vr64 Another favorite with strings is Alan Ferber’s Nonet with Strings, Chamber Songs. https://www.alanferber.com/portfolio/alan-ferber-nonet-strings-chamber-songs/ I think both of these releases are really high quality and deserving of a wider audience.

Huh, no break for multiple items on bandcamp shipping?

Yes, I am aware, at least 2-3 on Bandcamp are also available as cd’s (much prefer physical product) which I’ll probably order today, thanks for tip about artist Friday. For others I’d rather work a trade than pay what Amazon has’em listed for.

I like his playing on Pete (Laroca) Sims Blue Note release, Swingtime.

Looking for cd’s by Dale Fielder. Currently I have only, Plays the Music of Pepper Adams. Ideally would like to trade (I have a pile of dupes etc) but would also buy if the price is right.

I’m told it’s a one time drop, Other Half beers are available in some RI package stores (what we call a liquor store in these parts). Enjoying a Double Mosaic Daydream.

Black Dahlia, Bob Belden.

My Cadences are in boxes atm, was there a session that White did with Elvin Jones?

Yes Steve, you are correct (just grabbed the LP from the stacks). The notes refer specifically to Byas cutting everyone on The Romp, I’d say he does it again on Honeysuckle Rose which does include a pretty young Dexter from 1945.

Jazz Archives 35, Ben and the Boys, has a track with Ben, Dexter Gordon at his most Prezish, and Byas. As the liner notes state, Byas cuts everyone. The fidelity is a bit rough but defined worth searching out.
