What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Leeway]

Realm was a CBS label. Had some other reissues in the label - Rex Stewart, Don Redman, etc.

Thanks Chuck.

Also did the New York Contemporary Five/Bill Dixon split LP as a Savoy reissue.

Thanks for the info! Did not realize that.

I think this is a pretty interesting band. Pettiford on cello, Mingus on bass, Phil Urso on tenor, Julius Watkins on Frnch Horn, Walter Bishop, piano, Percy Brice (who he?), drums.

It's fine if a bit tame considering the calibre of players and the presence of Mingus.

Percy Brice - All Music.

Think I first heard him on a Billy Taylor lp.

Looking for a few smiles tonight, so I listened to "Save The Bones" by Danny Barker.

I know that I mentioned this in a post last night, but one of the great mornings of my life was one spent in Danny and Blue Lu's living room on Sere St. in New Orleans. One of the songs he played and sang for my ex-wife and me was "Save the Bones." What a great man.

A. C. Reed and His Spark Plugs - Take These Blues and Shove 'Em! (Ice Cube/Rooster Blues). A very entertaining blues album by the long-suffering Mr. Reed.

[jeffcrom]

One last, very fun blues album before going to bed:

Cousin Joe of New Orleans (ABC/Bluesway). "It takes two to tango, but only one to mess around."

Clifford Jordan 'In the World' (StrataEast)

Percy Brice - All Music.

Think I first heard him on a Billy Taylor lp.

Looking at his bio makes you realize there are a lot of ways to make a living in the music biz.

Vienna Art Orchestra, CONCERT PICCOLO, 2LPs, HatArt:

Sun Ra - Nuits de la Fondation Maeght, Vol. 1 (Recommended). I picked up Recommended's beautifully produced 45 RPM reissue of the original Shandar album about 30 years ago. "The Cosmic Explorer," the synth/organ improvisation that takes up all of side two, is monumental.

The Fabulous Banjo of Danny Barker (Period). A not-particularly-profound late 50's album, with Joe Muranyi, Don Frye, Wellman Braud, and Walter Johnson. Danny's music always makes me feel better.

The World of Cecil Taylor (Candid, mono)

Music can affect us in a lot of ways but you can't beat "feeling better".

Enjoyed your earlier comments on Mr. Barker.

I have to admit, I've completely fallen out of love with hard bop stuff like this:

[jeffcrom]

Sun Ra - Unity (Horo)

[jeffcrom]

Lord Kitchener - Kitch '67 (Trinidadian RCA) "Take You' Meat Out My Rice...."

[BillF]

I have to admit, I've completely fallen out of love with hard bop stuff like this:

Now that takes me back! I last saw that album in the early 60s, but never heard it. But I did get to see the two hornmen on it - Williams in a package with Thad Jones/Mel Lewis and Leo Wright with a local quartet - both here in Manchester in the late 60s.

"The Cosmic Explorer" is a favorite of mine as well! Both vol.1 and vol.2 of the Maeghts are real great Ra.

The World of Cecil Taylor (Candid, mono)

This is a beautiful and intense album. Love the first song "Air".

Williams in a package with Thad Jones/Mel Lewis and Leo Wright with a local quartet - both here in Manchester in the late 60s.

I remember seeing him on TV in the mid-70s with Clark Terry's Big Bad Band (rare BBC aberation to show jazz) and even recorded it. Still have the C-60 somewhere !
