jeffcrom Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 A couple of LPs I picked up in Seattle a few days ago, starting with one of the unintentionally funniest album titles of all time: Johnny Hodges/Charlie Shavers - A Man and His Music (Storyville). Hodges has one side, Shavers the other. The heart of each side is a mid-50's broadcast by each man with Columbus pianist Al Waslon and his trio. Each broadcast is excellent and relaxed; the leaders sound good, as does the little-known Waslon, who I believe played with Jimmy Dorsey earlier. A personal note: my first wife, who was a Johnny Hodges fan, had this album, and for years I've been mourning my separation from it - not from her so much. Vernard Johnson - Live (Glori). He's introduced as "the world's greatest gospel saxophonist," and that's about right. This makes my fifth album by Brother Vernard - they're all great. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Illinois Jacquet: Midnight Slows Vol. 8 (Black & Blue) Is that the one with Hank and Sir Charles (if memory serves)? It starts with a killer version of All Too Soon. If it's the same recording, mine had a different photo. Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Another Seattle find: Olympia Brass Band - New Orleans Street Parade (MPS) The mighty Olympia on tour in Europe, 1968. Quote

jeffcrom Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Bobby Hutcherson - Total Eclipse (BN 1985 "revival" pressing). This is my first hearing of this album - I was prompted to seek it out by the high esteem in which it's held around here. I'm not disappointed. Quote

sidewinder Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) Tommy Flanagan 'The Cats' (New Jazz, mono) The back cover has a PREVIEW COPY stamp and a 4.98 price sticker! What a price.. (albeit one requiring a time machine to take advantage of now). Hopefully no noisy hiss ! Reminder to self to get my copy out.. Edited July 2, 2011 by sidewinder Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 This is being discussed elsewhere on the Board. Giving it a spin (fine album, my copy is the stereo release) I never saw that Carl Wilson album before.NP: Walter Wanderley - When It was Done - A&M/CTI (stereo) Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Various - Blue Brazil Vol. 2 - EMI Odeon, with a Blue Note label slapped on the records. Quote

sidewinder Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 (edited) This is being discussed elsewhere on the Board. Giving it a spin (fine album, my copy is the stereo release) I never saw that Carl Wilson album before. I was thinking Horst Jankowski ! Now spinning: 'Miles Davis' Greatest Hits' (Columbia 2-eye, stereo). Picked up today for £3 and trounces my 70s UK pressing. Followed by Miles Davis 'Quiet Nights' (Dutch CBS, mono). Strange and exotic issue with 60s heavy vinyl orange label and what looks like a sort of facsimile sleeve, printed front and back creased over with no joins top and bottom. Bizarre ! Maybe they ran out during the initial print run? (updated to say that the sound quality of this Dutch mono issue is superb. Definitely the best I've heard for this title).

jeffcrom Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Mose Allison - Lessons in Living (Elektra Musician). The Sage of Tippo, Mississippi live at Montreux, 1982, with Lou Donaldson, Eric Gale, Jack Bruce and Billy Cobham. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Miles Davis 'Sorcerer' (UK CBS orange label, stereo). Again, beautiful sound. Quote
mikeweil Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 This is being discussed elsewhere on the Board. Giving it a spin (fine album, my copy is the stereo release) I never saw that Carl Wilson album before. I was thinking Horst Jankowski ! Jankowski wears glasses! Will give this a spin later today - I have to stop piling up CDs on the lid of my turntable ... A few days ago I put on this magnificent Mongo Santamaria album - Hubert Laws plays some fantastic solos here. It's a shame Columbia never really cared about reissuing the Mongo albums he made for them. Quote
sidewinder Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Miles Davis 'Miles Smiles' (German CBS, stereo). Unusual front cover - white sleeve, red text. Classy ! Edited July 3, 2011 by sidewinder Quote
brownie Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Vic Dickenson (RCA England, stereo) Mosaic should reissue those Albert McCarthy sessions Wonderful music! Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 George Girard - Stompin' at the Famous Door (Vik mono). Girard was a talented New Orleans Dixieland trumpeter. This album has one of my favorite New Orleans clarinetists, Harry Shields, but also, unfortunately, Paul Edwards on drums - he turns every tune into over-the-top Bourbon Street dixieland. Girard is a little over the top himself at times, but mostly sounds fiery and imaginative. I can only imagine how he would have sounded with a little more maturity - seven months after this album was recorded, he was dead of cancer at age 26. Quote
king ubu Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) since me ol'Lenco's workin' fine today (it's got speed issues now and then), it's been an all vinyl day today - pretty broad programme of music: Arthur Doyle Electro-Acoustic Ensemble - Live in Nashville & Louisville François Jeanneau - Techniques Douces The Lee Konitz Nonet (Chiaroscuro) Stan Kenton - Back to Balboa Golden Vibes - Lionel Hampton with Rhythm and Reeds Silver Vibes - Lionel Hampton with Trombones and Rhythm Inside Sauter-Finegan Erroll Garner - Paris Impressions McCoy Tyner - Supertrios Ornette Coleman - Skies of America The Garner contains a great harpsichord piece! And the Doyle is surprisingly good! (edited for spellink) Edited July 3, 2011 by king ubu Quote
