clifford_thornton Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Coltrane - Impassioned Tenor-Man (Alto) Pretty wonky-sounding bootleg; I assume the tape speed is off because the LP plays "normally." Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Picked up a stack of LPs today, including several cool ten-inchers. Among those were the two volumes of Jamming at Rudi's on Rudi Blesh's Circle label. They were both recorded in 1951 at jazz parties at his apartment. Volume 1 is a New Oreans-style jam built around Conrad Janis's amateurish trombone, but also including Danny Barker, Bob Wilber, Pops Foster, Ralph Sutton, and Eubie Blake. Volume 2 is Kansas City-flavored, and has some great Hot Lips Page. Jazzology owns this material now, and has issued a CD with some previously unreleased tracks, but that CD is missing some of the tracks on these albums. Quote

jeffcrom Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Another of the day's finds: Marian McPartland - At the Hickory House (Capitol) With the great rhythm section she had at the time - Bill Crow and Joe Morello. Quote
jeffcrom Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Yet another of today's (well, yesterday's by now) LP purchases: Ruby Braff/Ellis Larkins - 2 Part Inventions in Jazz (Vanguard 10"). The cover is a little beat, but damn! The vinyl is stone mint - one of the best-sounding 10" LP's I've ever heard. Couldn't find a picture online. Quote

Larry Kart Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Recently picked up a whole bunch of those Bluebird big-band two-fers LPs, filling in some gaps I had there with Goodman, T. Dorsey, Shaw, and Barnet. Working through things, I'm pleasantly reminded of how fine the Dorsey band was -- not always as jazz-oriented as one might wish but the quality of the playing and the (frequent) subtlety/sophistication of the arranging (Weston, Stordahl, et al.) was quite something, in general and even more so in the context of the time.
