What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[kh1958]

Gene Ammons--Twistin' the Jug (Prestige Black and silver N.J. stereo). This looked a bit battered but was only $9 and cleaned up nicely, the result being amazingly vivid sound.

Jimmy Giuffre Dragonfly Soul Note, I remember thinking that this was complete rubbish when I first played it about 20 yrs ago. I'm not sure I've played it it since but I'm really impressed spinning it now . Not sure how this stacks up compared to the other JG Soul Notes . I like the synth, the whole package. Nice one Jimmy, even if I didn't realise it the time.

I think that was the Giuffre album that I had in the late 70s - a double if I recall - that completely mystified me. I sold it at some point in the 80s.

Would be intriguing to hear again given how much other music I've since listened to. Might make sense now.

Dragonfly is a single LP . Mosquito Dance is a double from 1975

Ah! It was Mosquito Dance!

Getting my flying insects muddled.

This is really quite a good album, with Oliver Lake, Lester Bowie, C. Bobo Shaw, and what must have been a rather young Marty Ehrlich at the time.

INTERface, with John Fischer, Mark Whitecage, Phillip Wilson, and Rick Kilburn. Recorded in 1978, I think at Environ, the loft space founded by Fischer. A really fine album.

DJM - That was a strange UK label. I remember when they issued a Stanley Turrentine LP with Laurel & Hardy type cover art. Back in the day their prices were just about the lowest for any jazz LP out there - apart from Embassy, MFP etc.

Roswell Rudd: Blown Bone (Philips Japan)

Not my favorite Roswell Rudd - always sounded like a bit of a mess to me. But at least this listen it sounded like a fun mess.

Is that a combination of the two Choice albums?

AEC minus drummer for this 1969 Paris session. Sounds beautiful and vital to me.

Ella Fitgerald Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book (Verve/Speakers Corner) - LPs 1 & 2

I finally found a decent copy of the first pressing of LOVE CALL at a reasonable price:

[jeffcrom]

Steve Lacy - School Days (Emanem). A wonderful record, as anyone who has heard it knows. My copy has the original one-page Emanem catalog inside - nine albums were available in the fall of 1975.

Monk: Straight, No Chaser (Columbia)

Cedar Walton 'Mobius' (French RCA)

A much funkier Cedar to the one I am used to.

Strange funky album. I had it when t first came out and found it very disappointing. Didn't keep it too long.

Yes, first listen through I wasn't that over-impressed. It improves on subsequent listenings though - and anything with Cedar listed on it is worth hearing. By 70s jazz-funk standards this is actually a pretty good album ! The 'Eastern Rebellion' albums are better though.

I think Cedar and his record company must have been trying to get US FM airplay.
