jeffcrom Posted August 2, 2011 Report Posted August 2, 2011 Your post spurred me to pull this one off the shelves: Charlie Parker: Apartment Sessions (Spotlite) That's a great one, although I have the material on a Philology "Bird's Eyes" CD. Quote

Your post spurred me to pull this one off the shelves: Charlie Parker: Apartment Sessions (Spotlite) That's a tremendous record! There's some of the most astonishing Bird I've ever heard on that one!

jeffcrom Posted August 3, 2011 Report Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) Kid Howard and His New Orleans Jazz Band at Zion Hill Church: Great Spirituals (Nobility) Music of New Orleans: The Brass Bands (Jazzology). Side one, which reissues the first recording of the Olympia Brass Band, made in 1962 and issued on a 10" LP on the MONO label. Later: I just have to comment on one little moment I've always loved in that first Olympia session. The band is playing "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" in slow funeral march style. At one point, the two trumpet players, Ernie Cagnolatti and Kid Sheik Colar, choose passing notes that are a half-step apart - a half step being arguably the most dissonant interval in western music. Each one plays his note loudly and sustains it for two full beats. It's so wrong and so raw, and nobody even thought of doing another take. I just love New Orleans music.

brownie Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) Duke Ellington 'Live from the Hotel Sherman, Chicago' (Jazz Supreme), vol. 1 Volume 2 to follow... A mystery is how come those September 1940 broadcasts have not been reissued since their appearance on that Italian bootleg label? Audio is not really high but the band was in top form!

hard bop head Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Today, The New Oscar Pettiford Sextet OJC-112 Unusual and wonderful instrumentation. Pretty good sounding OJC from a Debut Records 10 inch. Wes Montgomery-Movin' Along Victor Japan SMJ-6199M Nice tonal changes by Wes, the very underrated James Clay on flute and the always stellar Sam Jones. Very good sounding Japan pressing. Jimmy Smith- Greatest Hits BST-89901 1969, rvg. "The Sermon", tremendous, great solos by Tina Brooks and Lou Donaldson, Lee sounds a tad reserved to me,and the Art Blakey shuffle to boot! Fabulous sonically. Quote

hard bop head Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 Right now, J.J. Johnson "JJ! in Person" Columbia CS 8009 six-eye 1959. Live recording, Nat Adderley on cornet, Tommy Flanagan on 88's. Pretty good sonics for a live show in 1959. Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Willie Guy Rainey (Southland/Jazzology) The Georgie blueman's only album. He lived in Rico, south of Atlanta. An Atlanta female vocalist with whom I perform sometimes did a singer/songwriter type gig with a guitar back around 1980, and Willie Guy was in the audience. She said that Mr. Rainey called her over and said, "Girl, we could make pretty babies. I'd even marry you." She turned him down, and missed her chance to be Mrs. Willie Guy Rainey. Quote

As well as Louis Hayes, who is still going strong. I caught him at Jimmy Mak's in my town recently, great show and a great ambassador. Quote

Leeway Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Love that 60/70s expat free jazz. Here's what I'm talking about: Quote
Leeway Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Paul Flaherty and Bill Nace, AN AIRLESS FIELD, Ecstatic Peace LP. I love Flaherty. Saw him and Wally Shoup (another fave) at The Stone a few months ago. Great, kick-ass performances. Does this album cover go in the sexiest LP cover category, or not? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 Yeah, those are fine ones you've been listening to today! Have had the Murray for many years and love it... got that Flaherty/Nace pretty recently. Quote

Have had the Murray for many years and love it... got that Flaherty/Nace pretty recently. Cool. Flaherty is disgracefully neglected. I especially dig his albums with Shoup and Chris Corsano. I like the earlier ones too with Randall Colbourne. Recently was able to buy a bunch of Flaherty's titles on the Tulpa label. Grab them if you see them!. Quote
