He's been fairly high-profile over the last few weeks as a 'spokesman' for Liverpool as 2008 European Culture Capital (yikes..) His new music is part of that whole celebration, I believe.

Miles Davis 'Aura' (Dutch CBS 2LP)

Miles Davis 'Amandla' (Warner)

Brought back memories hearing this. Listening to radio news back in 1972 over breakfast and hearing the latest twist on the Fischer/Spassky saga. HUGE news back then - and very much part of the 'Cold War'.

I think I'll avoid this thread. Could be expensive, as my Lingo has a 45 rpm capability.

Tubby Hayes 'Down In The Village' (UK Fontana stereo)

Des O'Connor Tom O'Connor Sinead O'Connor

Hmm, interesting. Do these guys know something that we don't. Joe Harriott 'Hum Dono' on Universal 'Impressed Repressed' for pre-order. Not April 1 today is it? Harriott

"Salt Peanuts" is where I heard Carl Fontana for the first time, when I was in high school- I memorized his solos on the title cut, Confirmation and Yardbird Suite. I remember thinking that THAT was the way I thought jazz trombone should sound- smooth and swinging. It totally changed my life Fontana's solos were the thing that really grabbed me about this album too. Incredible fluency - I was dabbling in the 'bone' at the time and this (along with the various Candoli/Rosolino albums of the time)caused the ears to peak up big time.

Amancio D'Silva 'Reflections' (UK Columbia Lansdowne stereo). Lovely !

Me too had a spin of it this afternoon, Verve Mono Orig. I think mine's UK Columbia Clef mono ! Will dig out.

Yes, I think I've seen copies of that one on 'Applause'.

In that case, I gotta see it !

Thanks, Aloc !

Visited that store in Williamsburg ! Nothing too stunning but came out with a nice stash of Libertys and some Miles 6-eye. That double rack in the middle has the 'new arrivals'.

There's an interesting looking chapter on Ike in a book by investigative journalist Louis Theroux that I'm just starting to read. Theroux spent some time with him a few years ago around the time of his 'comeback' and then revisited him some time later. May post further once I've digested..

Hank Mobley 'Reach Out' (BN Liberty blue/white stereo)

Yep - I quite like the 'Salt Peanuts' LP. Had that one for many years.

Freddie Hubbard Hub Cap' (BN 47W63rd/NY USA mono)

Yep - much more modal.

Mr Neutron Mr 'Now For Something Completely Different' Mr Gumby

Yusef Lateef 'Jazz Around The World' and 'The Golden Flute' (Impulse stereo originals)

Neither - 20 bit, I think (based on the spec of the Burr-Brown DACs).
