six string

I've got one of those too. That opening track is a muther. In fact, I need to go put it on.

Great album. I spun it last night! Great minds.... This was unknown to me until today when I bought it and would have to agree. Finding music my Herbie Nichols by ANYONE is so rare that I tend to buy whatever I see.

She just played in San Francisco last month at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. I hope she pulls through. When I saw the thread, over on the right side where it shows who posted last it said Odetta hospitalized Teasing the Korean. I don't mean to make light of her condition but it made me grin.

What is this album sound like? I have a Lem Winchester album w/Benny Golson that I really like, but I'm not the biggest fan of Ramsey Lewis. I saw a copy of the album at one of my locals and wondered if I should pick it up.

Change of Season - Misha Mengelberg, Steve Lacy, George Lewis, Harjen Gorter and Han Bennink (soulnote) playing the music of Herbie Nichols.

Toots Thielemans - Man Bites Harmonica (Riverside) Mono

McCoy Tyner - Reaching Fourth (Impulse) Mono original orange/black label.

I've got those Kenny Burrell tributes to Duke with him on drums PLUS Jimmy on organ! I seem to recall a Hank Jones date, but I'm not sure.

One of my favorite fakes is Art Farmer's The Time and the Place. The live album that was supposed to have been released finally got the call by Mosaic Selects, using the same album cover. They are both good albums so I'm happy.

Houston Person - Truth! (Prestige) green label.

I found a couple of sealed OJC pressings that I was surprised to see in the racks. This Is Walt Dickerson! (his first lp) Gumbo - Pony Poindexter w/Booker Ervin According to my Goldmine book I now have all three of his albums and the other two are originals. I'm not expecting to run into an original Gumbo anytime soon so I decided to buy it. At $9.00 they seemed reasonably priced. I also picked up two George Russell albums, Live In An American Time Spiral and The Stratus Seekers.

I bought a rat tail file just for that problem. I've never encountered the vari-pitch issue with the small spindle hole though.

I did too. I really don't like looking at those kinds of files.

This Is Walt Dickerson! - (New Jazz) OJC followed by Movin' and Groovin' - Horace Parlan (Bluenote) Classic Reissue

I'll just echo other posters here. You really should own it if you're a Hendrix fan. They did a smashing job on everything about it. I thought I did good getting it for $56.00 when it came out. I saw a copy the other day at R5 in Sacramento. They wanted $99.00 for it too. It must be the going price.

I think because of the collectability of Bluenote ($$$) Rudy has been swept up in the hysteria of the label. Since it's the most collectable label on earth it would be easy to think that the most collectable label would have the best recording engineer. He gets a lot of attention for being there and putting it down on tape, but did he do anything special? I don't have any experience recording in a studio but I've never heard of Rudy doing anything special in terms of recording goes. As far as the original poster's remarks go, I love No Room For Squares. It's one of my favorite Mobley albums. I do see his point a little but as others have stated, there is a lot of non BN music out there to hear and I do spread my money around other labels and genres. Re:Shorter's Adam's Apple, I could say the same about even Lee Morgan's Sidewinder. I've heard that song so much that I usually play side 2 of the lp when I want to hear that album. It sounds a lot fresher than side 1 (to me).

Codona 2 (ECM) WB pressing followed by Go - Paul Chambers (Vee Jay) Mono

Codona (eponymous) ECM

Absolutely. The WORSE thing he can say is no. Even if he's too busy now, who's to say things won't settle down at some point and make it possible. Even if he could only give you thirty minutes a month it would be time well spent.

I saw this reissue yesterday at a store. I almost bought it. Thanks for the tip. NP Briliiant Corners - Monk (Riverside) Mono

I resemble that quote.

JJ Johnson - A Touch of Satin (Columbia) Six Eye Stereo. A recent purchase that I had not seen before in any format. It was recorded with Cannonball's rhythm section after a tour of Europe. I love it.

Well this post saved me a lot of typing. I'm not one of the hardcore original members and I don't post as often as some but I do respect this place a lot and the above post explains my core feelings here. Because this community is smallish and so, pretty tight, it seems odd or rude to some that someone comes here primarily to sell their wares. If we had a lot of people doing it, it could change that level of trust that members here have with each other. It would be a shame to lose that. Re: the O.P.'s journey through hip hop, some of us, myself included came to jazz from another genre. For me it was rock and roll and to some extent my dad's meager lounge music and very limited jazz albums. Though I'm not a fan of hip hop or even music created through samples of records, it doesn't matter to me that someone comes to jazz from that part of the music world. Frank Zappa helped me find jazz.

Jim Hall Live (Horizon) Stereo followed by Joni Mitchell's Blue (WB's reissue)

The only one I own is Back to the Gig. Being a big Booker Ervin AND Horace Parlan fan, it was a must own. I've seen the Andrew Hill copy recently but I thought it was made up from material that has been released now. Isn't everything out of the vault now? There's a copy of the Herbie Nichols album at a local store but I have the Mosaic box, so I didn't see any point in buying it.
