sidewinder Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Acker Bilk/Stan Tracey You can't believe it, can you? An unlikely but very good combination (I guess Dennis Preston facilitated it). Stan's arranging of this vintage was hugely under-rated (as any of the Big Brass albums demonstrates). Funilly enough, Acker was on that BBC4 Top Of The Pops repeat the other night from 1976. Top 20 no less (along with the Bee Gees and Elton/Kiki Dee ) Edited September 20, 2011 by sidewinder Quote
Leeway Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Cecil Taylor, Raphe Malik, Jimmy Lyons ("James" on the sleeve!), David S. Ware, Marc Edwards. DARK TO THEMSELVES. Inner City LP. June 1976. Weird, but I dreamt last week that I went to a CT concert held in some obscure little performance space. That was a crazy dream. Anyway, another fiery album. Quote
jeffcrom Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Dixieland Way Down Yonder in New Orleans (GHB). This is a 12" straight reissue of a 10" Southland LP - four tracks on each side. There is no leader listed, but it consists of two dates led by trombonist Jack Delaney - one from 1953 featuring the great Lee Collins, and one from 1955 with Pete Fountain. This has long been one of my favorite New Orleans albums from the 1950's; the 1955 session is the one I would play for anyone doubting that Pete Fountain at his best was a great jazz clarinetist. (I say "was" because I saw/heard him last year, and his abilities are greatly diminished.) Quote
