What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

Not too common - only seen it a few times and each one has been trashed (for obvious reasons). Nice find!

Yeah, I've found some nice, ususual vinyl lately. My copy is in really excellent condition, much to my surprise.

Now, another new find, also in excellent shape:

Onzy Matthews - Sounds for the 60's! (Capitol mono)

[jeffcrom]

Dewey Redman - Coincide (Impulse)

Herbie -- Fat Albert Rotunda (1969)

Solo Monk (CBS/Sony Japan)

From Martin Williams' liner notes: "He can take the simplest note and make it count in every way because he knows the musical worth of each sound he makes and each silence he allows. In the passion of the moment, he may even strike a note in mistake (as did Schnabel playing Beethoven), but we all know none of this detracts from his greatness."

Bob and Ray Throw a Stereo Spectacular (RCA Victor). A truly bizarre 1958 stereo demonstration record, featuring impressive stereo tracks from the RCA catalog interspersed with tracks documenting Bob & Ray's visit to the mysterious castle of Dr. Akbar. Of course, at Dr. Akbar's castle, various stereophonically striking events happen.

Miriam Klein 'Ladylike' (MPS/BASF)

[Clunky]

Grant Green - Am I Blue (BN- Toshiba)- got this yesterday, I quite like it, sure it doesn't quicken the pulse but it's not soporific as some here have suggested.

Really regretting passing on a copy of that one for £7 a couple of years ago !

Grant Green - Am I Blue (BN- Toshiba)- got this yesterday, I quite like it, sure it doesn't quicken the pulse but it's not soporific as some here have suggested.

It certainly gets my vote !

Not mine. I find this date boring and one of Joe Henderson's few bombs.

Branford Marsalis' latest (Record Store Day) release, "Four MFs Playin' Tunes"

[jeffcrom]

Clare Fischer Orchestra - Extension (PJ stereo)

[paul secor]

Jesse Price: Jump It with a Shuffle (Jukebox Lil)

Wonderful r&b with a strong jazz influence. Musicians include the well known - Snooky Young, Red Nichols, Gerald Wilson, Paul Quinichette, and Red Norvo, to name just a few (not forgetting the vocals and fine drumming of Jesse Price) - and lesser known musicians who play a lot of great music.

Miles Davis/Gil Evans Mosaic. Record 1 side 1

[clifford_thornton]

An old favorite:

Archie Shepp - Yasmina, a Black Woman - (BYG Actuel)

Side two is what gets me going these days, though there was a time when I couldn't get enough of the title composition. I still think it's one of the better-organized (rehearsed) BYG large group sessions. But the track with Mobley and the version of "Body and Soul" are great.

Blakey and the Messengers - Mosaic LP set - March 6, 1960 and August 7, 1960 sessions

The Three Sounds, Out of This World (Blue Note, NY USA)

[clifford_thornton]

Leo Wright - Flote und Alto-Sax - (Amiga)

I seem to remember the franc was about 13 to the pound at the time, so I did OK! Wonderful album, which I believe was issued in the U.S. as Mirage. On mine all the tunes are listed as Blakey compositions, which they clearly aren't. A bit of research came up with the far more convincing Gryce, plus some by Draper. There was a Ray Draper who played tuba, but would this have been him?
