kh1958

Clifford Jordan In the World (Strata East)

Stereo or "SpectroSonic"? It says Stereo on the jacket and label.

Today's lucky finds: Jimmy Smith--Bucket (Blue Note New York USA)--for $8. Monk--Brilliant Corners (Riverside, blue label)--somewhat abused but plays better than looks, I couldn't skip it for $5. What puzzles me is that it says Stereo, but I can't really tell the difference between channels if I go all the way from right to left.

Jacques Loussier Plays Bach Aux Champs Elysees, Vol. 2 (Decca) Eberhard Weber Colours--Silent Feet (ECM)

Around 1973, a combination of Frank Zappa (Hot Rats especially), John Mayall's Jazz Blues Fusion (especially the live record featuring Ernie Watts), and seeing Miles Davis on TV led me to buying jazz lps, the first two that really grabbed me were The Best of Cannonball Adderley on Capitol, and Basic Miles.

Birthday spam! A few of your CDs seem to be sitting right next to my computer already.

Thanks. 50? When I subtract 2008 from 1958, I get 30.

Click on the Live link on the Pullen website and there's a mouthwatering listing of unreleased Mingus concert recordings with Pullen.

Bernie Brightman (Stash) died awhile ago and from what I've heard the cds and lps are sitting in a barn somewhere in upstate NY. I've been checking barns as I see them and still no luck on finding the recordings You're looking for a stash of Stash.

To be released on September 30.

Freddie King--Rockin' the Blues Live (Crosscut) Albert Ayler--Spiritual Unity (ESP-Disk) Herbie Mann--Brazil, Bossa Nova, and Blues (United Artists) Jack DeJohnette New Directions In Europe (ECM)

all but one tracks have made it to cd though, if i didn't overlook anything on the two art blakey ojcs child's dance and mission eternal... are these albums worth getting? another shaw obscure (?) item that's out on cd which i have been wondering about is that 1977 mingus session with Woody Shaw, Jack Walrath (tp) Peter Matt (frh) Gerry Mulligan (ss, bars) Ricky Ford (ts) Paul Jeffrey (ts, arr) Lionel Hampton (vib) Bob Neloms (p) Charles Mingus (b) Dannie Richmond (d) is that worth checking out? those two albums master of art / night music aren't out on cd either... right? The Mingus with Woody Shaw is disappointing if your expectations are that it will be a great Mingus record (my reaction when it came out). At this point, Mingus' illness was affecting his playing. If you approach it, however, from the perspective that it is a loose jam session using various Mingus compositions, featuring solos by Woody Shaw, Gerry Mulligan and Lionel Hampton on those themes, after the passage of time, I now find it to be an enjoyable album. It's nice to hear these guys soloing on these compositions. I don't think it's that hard to obtain, I believe it has been issued on CD more than once.

Whether you agree or not, the age limit for women's gymnastics is 16, so under 16 y.o. girls are ineligible. It's very clear that many (most?) of the Chinese gymnasts are 14 and 15. Huh. I didn't know that. I believe that 15 is within the rules, as long as they turn 16 by the end of 2008.

Nice, as great as ECM cd's sound the good vinyl editions have this feel to them, in that you feel the music more than your just listening to it. It really hit me again this weekend listening to: My local HPB got in a group of ECMs in pristine condition, so I've bought a few. To Be Continued sounds amazing. As does the solo Steve Kuhn, Ecstasy. Still need the Bitter Funeral Beer Band. Did they have that one? I don't think so, as I would have grabbed anything with Don Cherry. It sounds like an interesting group.

This one has the orange impulse spine.

I have two Ray Bryant LPs on Sue, but that's it.

John Coltrane--Expression (Impulse) I am puzzled why this copy of Impulse 120 is instead numbered 91288. It has the orange black label, ABC Paramount. In the fine print, it says on the jacket Manufactured by Capitol Records. There's no Van Gelder stamp on the vinyl. The record sounds terrific anyway.

Thank you B. Goren. I looked around a bit and missed that thread. Maybe an administrator can merge the two? As to my request for input, from the first responses here, it sounds like the order of preference might be Bix, Young, Diz, with Bix getting a slight nod over Young due to the likelihood that it will go OOP sooner. I notice the Lester Young is on back order. I would say Lester, Dizzy, then Bix. Unless you are really a fan of '20s jazz over modern jazz and swing, you will find that the best material with Bix is really great, but that his playing declines towards the end and the material without Bix is far less enthralling.

I thought I was buying the definitive edition years ago when I bought the gold CD version in a long box, with corrected speed for the first time, but come to find out there was an alternate of Flamenco Sketches held back from the definitive version.

Scat Jazz Club, it turns out, is a very nice club located in a basement, off an alley in Sundance Square in Fort Worth. http://www.scatjazzlounge.com/ Curtis Fuller was very enjoyable--he still plays well, and his young band (unfamiliar to me), was quite good. August 30, Shelly Carrol performs.

Joe Farrell--Moon Germs (CTI) Kenton in Hi Fi (Capitol)
