michel1969

Many non DG Riverside have that. Kerry Dancers exists on both editions DG and no DG. DG and no DG maybe original for Kerry Dancers. Regarding Riverside sound, its always very hard to tell what will sound good and what will not before actually playing the record. There is another thread where we are talking about DG/no DG Riversides.

John Meheagan wrote a series of jazz piano instruction books, "Contemporary Styles for the Jazz Pianist" which were considered pretty good at one time, mostly for the left-hand chord voicings. A lot of this stuff is old-hat by now, but at the time this may have been the only place to read about this kind of thing. I've never heard his recordings. How would you describe his style? He's "Progressive," allegedlly taking the best elements of bop but restoring the left hands of Jelly Roll Morton and Art Tatum. To me, he sounds stiff and very much like a Classical pianist trying to play jazz. The record is part-solo piano, and part piano-drums (Kenny Clarke). The liner notes are a lecture by "Uncus" about the influence of Classical music on jazz: e.g., "West Coast Progessive (1948-): basic Neo Classic influence, Bach, Handel. Modern Classicism--Hindemith." I have another pretty rare ten inch John Mehegan, From Barrellhouse to Bop, with Charles Mingus on bass. Despite the presence of Mingus, I don't like this one either. Johnny Costa, too. Same as Mehegan.

Herb Geller "Fire in the West" Jubille 1044, blue label DG original. With Kinney Durham or something like this.

Is there anybody interested here ? The record plays VG++ at least on my rega planar 3. BUT there is an audible click on side 2 (Love for sale for approx 2 minutes) The cover has some humidity spots on back and front would, not disturbing the notes neither art rate VG +.Still very fine cover PM for photos Reasonable price : 50 €.

Really? MG No. Just kidding. I can't even imagine my Richard Clayderman and Pappetti original first press to go out of my house, for whatever reason.

Akira strikes again !

To avoid that, i have a good bunch of Richard Clayderman and Fausto Papetti records, i bring one with me whenever i want a record signed.

Don't try this with your NM original copy of Tina Brooks "True Blue" for example. Stay in the last position.

I sold some of my Rolling Stones live bootlegs

Wow — didn't even know that one existed (the LP pictured above). I always assumed that Moore just had the one title on Fantasy — the one that made it into the OJC series. That one's nice. Who's on the other Fantasy session? Oh yeah — I've always thought that Moore should have had a tune called "Brew Moore Coffee," or maybe "Brew Moore Beer." Maybe he did and I just haven't checked any discographies. Anyone know what the original cover to Svingtet 14 looked like? Just curious. The pictured album indeed is a nice one. Originally issued as Fantasy 3264. In translucent red vinyl ! Like many Fantasy releases. Exept the track with cal Tjader other are with Harold Wylie (sax), John Markham (dr), John Mosher, (b), John Marabuto (p).

Julian Priester "Love Love" ECM 1044 The title cut is outstanding, with the guitar of Bill Connors, like a far cry...

I've always a trouble when storing this one :

The Ogun label history. If you read french... There are some links, too.

All that i want, as a collector, is records i like, in original pressings. I don't care about the rarity in itself. if its rare and in demand, i pay $$$$ if i really want it and when my pockets allow me to do so... If i can find it anywhere at 9.99 $, i'm even happier ! If its rare and completely ignored, as many jazz records and artists are, its even better, because the challenge is to find it, to hear what music it is, not to pay the big money : it is probably worth almost nothing.

And now : Billy Cobham "Spectrum" (Atlantic) Ahem... Tommy Bolin was a jazzman, right ?

Lesette Wilson "Now that i've got your attention" Funky and brillant !

The former University of Kansas staff member who administered the Wright collection is a member here, and of the Blue Note board before that, iirc. Brandon Burke. He used to post occasionally about his experience at K.U., but has of course moved on to other things, and hasn't posted as often lately. At any rate, that's interesting... my memory is foggy regarding the developments that occured there. I'm not sure I ever got the full story. I remember when Brandon worked there. I thought they had another person manning the ship, and if that isn't the case and it's in limbo, I am sorry to hear that. I had willed my collection to that archive, but may need to change that... And this is no surprise. University music libraries have nothing to do with collectible records on a collector's point of view. They are focused on music, first, and how to keep it for researches. That's why library records have often # stickers, timings, writings etc. Same as book libraries. The main purpose of a library is not to give you the "original" or "rare" edition. Just to allow public and/or specialist to use it. Even if you can find very rare books or documents on libraries, these are not collectors showrooms : if the document is rare, or fragile, you may get a fac simile (whetever kind of). We could make the same comparison with archeologs or historians versus collectors. Those two worlds are connected, but haven't the same purpose.

Spinning my most recent find : Dexter Gordon "A Swinging affair" BLP 4133, Or. press Mono, ear

Herbie Hancock "Man Child" (i'm cheating : its a CD ) Anyway : Later : "Bix Fats Duke", Thomas Talbert, Atlantic DG black original. Nice arrangment session.

the five spot wall on the background is also seen on "Eric Dolphy at the five spot" !!

this one is the reissue, but has the original riverside logo.

Well..; if you look at the LARGE riverside logo on bottom left... The first edition has the small "old style" with lines Riverside 12-262 contemporay series on top left. Same as from 218 to 274.

Warne Marsh Quintet "Jazz of Two Cities" on Imperial red DG orginal. A crackle here and there... But plays nicely. Ted and Warne together... very nostalgic sound.

Lennie hambro Quintet "The Nature of Things" On Epic yellow radial DG orginal press. Its a brilliant session (in fact 2). Fabulous rendition of "Blue Light".... Hambro + Costa +Galbraith/Salvador = Marvelous.

On the other hand, a really rare and fine record that's worth nothing
