Bill Barron-Ted Curson 'Now Hear This! Audio-Fidelity, stereo)

Was just listening to this the other night. Fine one indeed.

Chuck said something a while back about the Riker's Island LP being much, much better in mono. Does that hold true for other Audio Fidelity LPs?

[Clunky]

I forgot this was a Nessa LP! Lucky Thompson, Tete Montoliu, Eric Peter, Peer Wyboris (don't know the last two). Nessa n-13:

two interesting quotes about that record:

"Damn, that's a real bebop rhythm section" - Roscoe Mitchell

"Oh yeah, you got the real tapes" - Eli Thompson

Lucky is cross eyed here. Great date, not with standing facial asymmetry.

Trevor Watts Moire Music Sextet Saalfelden Encore Cadillac , 1986, music much better the cover might suggest

The Alternate Blues (Pablo)

After listening to this, I completely understand Jim Sangrey's feelings about Bobby Durham. Too bad he didn't get lost on his way to the studio. A drummerless session would have worked just fine.

A hot session:

World Saxophone Quartet: WSQ (Black Saint)

[sidewinder]

A hot session:

That Atlantic 'That's Jazz' series was excellent. Around 1977/78 if I remember right - I picked up quite a few of them (including that one).

[Clunky]

I thought this dreadfully sacharine when I first got it, but it has some merits and enjoyed playing it late last night . I think it's the synth that troubles me. Prefer Dark Warrior.

Khan Jamal - Thinking of you- Storyville

I wouldn't be surprised...

But I never saw the mono editions of these! When given the choice, I always picked the mono copy back in the vinyl times

Now listening to:
