What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Nick Drake - Fruit Tree - Island, box set with the three issued albums.

Doesn't your copy come with the 4th album of unreleased stuff? It's on mine.

Unfortunately not. I bought it around 1980, I guess it was the first pressing, before Drake's rediscovery.

Tony Parenti - Jazz Goes Underground (Jazzology) Genial dixieland from 1969, recorded in Underground Atlanta - the entertainment district under the viaducts. Parenti is teamed mostly with local guys from the then-thriving Atlanta Dixieland scene. I was too young to catch much of that, although as a young man I did play a few gigs with Spider Ridgeway, who plays drums here. An interesting slice of history for an Atlanta guy.

Monk - Monk - Columbia (2-eye stereo)

Just realized I have 25 Monk albums. Boy, things add up fast!

JJ/Kai/Benny Green - Trombone by Three - Prestige (OJC reissue, mono)

[paul secor]

Hank Jones: Satin Doll - Solo Piano (Trio Japan)

[brownie]

Bill Evans Trio 'Live in Buenos Aires 1979' (Yellow Note, Argentina), disc 2

the original vinyl version - a Mosaic type set - of this great concert is much better than the West Wind double CD reissue which is disfigured by way too much hum (not heard on LP)!

The CD reissue should be avoided at all costs

Lenny McBrowne and the 4 Souls (Pacific Jazz)

prompted to listen to this by Romualdo's post in the Discography forum!

A really good album!

Too true - I'll dig it out

[jostber]

John Lee Hooker - Simply The Truth (BGO reissue of ABC album)

[Royal Oak]

Currently slugging my way through "Face To Face" by the Kinks. Having already listened to "The Kinks" and "Beatles For Sale" this evening, I'm very tired of mid-60s beat groups.

[Chuck Nessa]

Wrong Face to Face!, you would not have to "slug your way through" The Baby Face Willette disc!

[paul secor]

Count Basie: Kansas City 3 - For the Second Time (Pablo)

Locked in on Ray Brown's playing when I listened to this - rock solid bass.

[clifford_thornton]

Lask - Lask 1 - (ECM)

with Maggie Nichols!

Howlin' Wolf: Moanin' in the Moonlight (Chess/P-Vine Japan)

Howlin' Wolf: Moanin' in the Moonlight (Chess/P-Vine Japan)

:tup

It might be exaggerating to say this (but not by much): Howlin' Wolf got me through a divorce 15 years ago.

Well, R. L. Burnside helped a lot, too.

Louis Prima and His New Orleans Gang - Swing Me With Rhythm (British Decca) 1934-35 recordings; Sidney Arodin plays clarinet on the earlier tracks, Pee Wee Russell on the later ones.

Basie Reunion (Prestige, stereo, black and silver label)

One of the first Prestige stereo releases!

[jostber]

Son House & Robert Pete Williams - Live! (Autogram)

[jeffcrom]

Johnny Hodges - The Eleventh Hour (Verve mono) More "lounge" than jazz, really, with strings arranged by Oliver Nelson and Rabbit mostly just playing the melody. But what a great thing that is.

[brownie]

Gene Shaw 'Carnival Sketches' (Argo, mono, sand-colored label)

[mjazzg]

Ballads - Paul Bley (ECM)

so pleased to have just tracked down a nice clean copy. What an album

[Royal Oak]

Wrong Face to Face!, you would not have to "slug your way through" The Baby Face Willette disc!

I agree entirely!

After some Hank Mobley, one of those unpromising-looking 50s/60s Dave Tarras records - Jewish Melodies on Period. This one features an excellent little eight-piece klezmer band, with Tarras' son-in-law Sam Musiker on tenor sax (and probably arrangements).

[ajf67]

Howlin' Wolf: Moanin' in the Moonlight (Chess/P-Vine Japan)

What an awesome LP. One of the all-time great blues albums.

Gene Shaw 'Carnival Sketches' (Argo, mono, sand-colored label)

This is one of the reasons I love this thread. I haven't listened to this one in a long time, and now I'm reminded to get it out. I got it because a friend pointed this out at a garage sale a long time ago and said I should buy it ($2).
