What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Leeway]

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.

Yeah, it takes me back too It's not the album, which is as good as it gets in that genre, but the type of music. It just doesn't reach me anymore. Like falling out of love. Strange, but there it is.

Not really Cohn's best!

But I have been a fan of his for more than half a century and he never let me down!

I listen to way more hard bop now than I have for the past few years, but I never really got into that LP.

Sun Ra - A Fireside Chat With Lucifer (Saturn)

Particularly nice cover there.

[jostber]

Art Tatum - Works of Art (Jazzz Records)

[jostber]

Grant Green - Solid (Blue Note reissue)

[sidewinder]

Herbie Hancock 'The Prisoner' (UK Blue Note, orig)

This is an interesting one, from 1970. US Liberty/UA heavy-duty jacket with a UK pressing Liberty/UA blue/white LP (Van Gelder in runout). This is the only UK Blue Note of this type that I've ever come across - similar to those German Blue Notes of similar vintage. Best sound quality for this session I've heard (time to ditch the Pathe-Marconi DMM ).

[clifford_thornton]

Definitely a fan of those German Liberty Blue Notes.
