Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Warne Marsh & Lew Tabackin - tenor gladness (Inner City). Nice date. Quite the contrast between the two tenors. Night and day, as they say. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 Cannonball Adderley - Jazz Workshop Revisited (Riverside). A decent sounding blue lable pressing for $4. Sounds OK. CD is probably better sounding but it cost a lot more than $4. Quote

jeffcrom Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 George Girard - Stompin' at the Famous Door (Vik) I've mentioned my love of George Girard's music here before, but I'll bet that a lot of folks don't know anything about him. He was a fiery New Orleans dixieland trumpeter whose short career was spent entirely in the Crescent City. He first recorded at the age of 19 with drummer Phil Zito's band for Columbia in 1949; Pete Fountain was also in the band. The next year, he and Fountain formed the Basin Street Six, an excellent little group, although they did occasionally venture into corny "novelty" territory. Girard made some very strong recordings in the 1950s, for Imperial, Vik, Southland, and Good Time Jazz, often with the great New Orleans clarinetist Harry Shields in the band. Girard's style was in the New Orleans trumpet tradition, but I also hear a strong Bunny Berigan influence. He had a big fat sound in the low register and flawless technique. Late in his short life he got a weekly CBS radio broadcast from the Famous Door, and he seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough to a larger, national audience. But he became ill, and died of cancer at the age of 26. Quote

jazzbo Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) Haven't heard this LP is so long it's pitiful (been listening to cds of this instead for a few decades). The LP is a trip to listen to! Edited June 12, 2012 by jazzbo Quote

jeffcrom Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 George Girard and His New Orleans Five (Imperial 10") A really nice album from 1954 and 55. I can't find a picture online, and no discographer seems to know who is on this on, besides the brilliant, ill-fated trumpeter himself. Lord thinks it might be Raymond Burke on clarinet, but it ain't. It sounds like the great Harry Shields to me, and on one track Girard encourages "Brother Harold" before the reed solo. Another spin of this great little record. Quote

robertoart Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 Johnny Copeland - Copeland special - Rounder MG Alert! MG is listening to avant-garde musicians: George Adams, Byard Lancaster, Yusef Yancey, Garrett List! Have you heard this yet MG? Hank Marr with a very young James Blood Ulmer and George Adams. It defines the word 'raw' . Apparently this band played the clubs in Germany. A very kind man named Arthur Shoulders made a needle drop of this LP for me over ten years ago. I promised to send him a fiver for his generous gesture, but never got around to it. Dear Mr Shoulders, if you read this board, please PM me and I will send you a tenner instead. No - I've wanted that one for YEARS! Playing vinyl this afto Stan Seymour - Everyone loves Bermuda - Edmar Pharoah Sanders - Black unity - Impulse (MCA Germany) Leon Spencer - Where I'm coming from (From whence I'm coming?) - Prestige now Earl Bostic - Jazz as I feel it - Earl Bostic - King Mine's stereo, with a blue label. Very heavy pressing. Groove Holmes & Joe Pass had much fun on this. Well, everyone did. MG Here is a link to a youtube upload of the Hank Marr Lp. Any idea who the drummer might be MG? Or anyone else. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks, I'll try that in a bit. MG Quote
