Teasing the Korean Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Brasil '66 - Look Around - A&M (mustard label, stereo) Probably their best early album, with tunes by Marcos Valle, Gilberto Gil, Joao Donato, and Edu Lobo, among others. "So Many Stars" is such a stunning tune. Still looking for a mono copy of this... Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Charlie Parker - Yardbird in Lotus Land (Spotlite). 1945-46 California recordings. Need to pull that and other Spotlites out for a listen. It has been a while. Edited August 1, 2011 by Chuck Nessa Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Black California (Savoy). Side two - the Roy Porter big band, with Art Farmer, Eric Dolphy, and Jimmy Knepper. Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 In the interests of full disclosure: George Shearing - Shearing in Hi-Fi (MGM). I've expressed my reservations about George Shearing here, but I do listen to him sometimes, particularly those albums with Gary Burton in the band. And tonight I was in the mood for something kind of undemanding. About half of this 1953-54 album went too far in that direction, but about half the cuts had nice solos by Cal Tjader, Toots Thielemans, and Shearing himself. And the cover's pretty cool. Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 Out Came the Blues (1934-1939) (MCA). A great collection of Decca blues recordings from the Jazz Heritage Series, with better sound than most of that series.. I have a couple of these tracks elsewhere, but most of them only here. Quote

jeffcrom Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Kid Shiek's Storyville Ramblers - The Sheik of Araby (504). Listening to the Preservation Hall Jazz Band earlier this evening got me thinking about my first visit to the city I love about all others. In the spring of 1990, I visited Preservation Hall for the first time - Kid Sheik's band was playing. His trumpet playing was still very strong, but that's the only time I got to hear him - he retired for health reasons not long afterwards, and died in 1996. Also in the band were Jeannette Kimball, who played on some of Oscar Celestin's records back in the 1920's. She's on this album. The bass player was 90-year old Chester Zardis, whom I'd never even heard of. His big sound and great time made a big impression on me. When I got home, I found his picture in the Keepnews/Grauer Pictoral History of Jazz - a 1920 shot of the legendary Buddy Petit's band. He died three months after I heard him that night. That night changed my life - New Orleans jazz became a living thing to me, not just a sound on old records. The 504 label was something like a latter-day American Music or Icon - they documented the traditional jazz of the city in 1970's, '80's, and '90's. They're still active, but I haven't been as thrilled with their later offerings. Jeez, I haven't been to New Orleans in 16 months - that's the longest dry spell I've had since 1990. I'm going in September, come hell or high water. Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Olympia Brass Band of New Orleans (Audiophile). New Orleans is on my mind tonight. This is the best-recorded New Orleans brass band album ever. Quote
