clifford_thornton Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 Ted Brown -All about Ronnie - Savoy. Nice. Been trying to score a clean US Savoy pressing of this for years. Quote
mjazzg Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 Bought this album on spec, and it turned out to be way hipper than I expected. Kenyatta, Wolfgang Dauner, Arild Andersen, Fred Braceful (from his Wiki entry, sounds like an interesting figure, but this is the first time I have encountered him on record I think). Recorded 1970. ECM 1008. Strange that this has never had a CD release. Anyone know why? 'fraid not. There seems little rhyme nor reason why a bunch of the earlier ECMs have never made it. Guess we'll have to await Mr Eicher's reply....the vinyls sound very good, mind. It is indeed a fine session Quote
colinmce Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 Ted Brown -All about Ronnie - Savoy. Nice. Been trying to score a clean US Savoy pressing of this for years. Never even heard of that one. Good to know there's more Ted Brown around. Quote
Clunky Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 Ted Brown -All about Ronnie - Savoy. Nice. Been trying to score a clean US Savoy pressing of this for years. Never even heard of that one. Good to know there's more Ted Brown around. apologies as this is lead by Ronnie Ball not Ted Brown. Both of them get a very fine showing of course. My copy is US Savoy - original ( I think ) in very nice condition which I purchased a few months ago. Quote

jeffcrom Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Claude Thornhill - Dinner for Two (RCA Camden). 1949-50 recordings. Not much jazz here, but there are a couple of good clarinet spots by (I think) Hal McKusick. Quote
Clunky Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Harold Mabern - Joy Spring - Sackville, recorded 1985 by our own Ted O'Reilly, I'm not a huge fan of Mabern or solo piano for that matter but this is a nice set of tunes played with played with plenty of soul. Quote
Clunky Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 A mid 60s Czech LP , picked up yesterday in Oxfam, S+H Quintet -Jak Hral Supraphon DV 10200, mixture of styles from this aggregation , varying instrumentations from quintet to nonet all largely hardbop flavoured but with elements of freedom. It's got a mixture of standards and originals. Glad I picked this up. Quote

vinyltim Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Maybe you all can help with this mystery: Prestige 7318 blue label--PRLP 7318 (AorB respectively) and Van Gelder in wax on both sides....but....side B is a different record! It's instrumental blues--a jump blues/jazz guitarist and tenor player along with a trombone and bass/drums. I guess it's a weird pressing error. Thoughts? Edited November 2, 2011 by vinyltim Quote
paul secor Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Richard Williams: New Horn in Town (Candid/Barnaby) I remember reading something that Nat Hentoff wrote to the effect that he had probably recorded Richard Williams as a leader before he (Williams) was ready. Perhaps that's true, but there was never another, so it's good that Mr. Hentoff did record him. Quote
JohnS Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 Always thought that this was a rather odd cover picture. Another thought, both this and Pepper and Knepper have unexpected organ playing. An organ in the studio perhaps or a producers quirk. Quote

The first thing that sprang to mind is that somehow Tiny Grimes' Callin' the Blues got pressed on the other side of yours. Edited November 2, 2011 by paul secor Quote

jeffcrom Posted November 3, 2011 Report Posted November 3, 2011 Did Prestige go out of their way to confuse us? I'm listening to an LP I picked up today: Gene Ammons - The Twister (Prestige 7176 blue label mono). The Twister was a reissue of Jammin' in Hi-Fi With Gene Ammons, and my copy seems to be a mid-60's pressing. But I can't find a single picture online of my cover. The first Twister cover was a very plain yellow-and-red text-only design. Mine has a picture of Gene playing his tenor which takes up most of the cover; his name and "The Twister" are in a groovy '60's typeface at the top. While searching the tubes of the internet, I found that the conventional wisdom on another forum is that none of the Prestige issues after the yellow-and-black label era sound any good. My copy is near mint, with Mr. Van Gelder's stamp in the dead wax, and it sounds wonderful. Quote

The couple I've heard sounded quite good. Quote

I looked it up online and it's great stuff, but that's not it. There is piano on it too...hmmmmm..... Definitely something similar though. Prestige really was trying to confuse us!
