What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[vinyltim]

The BNs are tight soul-jazz, quite airplay-ready, with Wilkerson as the only horn. That said, I like them, though they are quite different from the Riverside date (which I only have on CD). Seems like you scored a nice copy.

Nice, I'm sure I'd like them--this is more harp bop. Grant Green is on the BN dates right? This is a nice copy--shows some wear but sounds great.

Ben Webster 'See You at the Fair' (Impulse organge/black mono orig)

Great find for £2

[jeffcrom]

I got 'Rippin' & runnin'' when it came out and was disappointed in it.

I played my rather battered copy this afternoon and really enjoyed it. I can see/hear how some aspects might not be your thing, like Freddie Waits' drumming.

Now playing:

Muhal Richard Abrams - Lifea Blinec (Arista Novus)

[sidewinder]

Gordon Beck + Two 'Half A Jazz Sixpence' (Major Minor DG mono)

You oculd be right, there, Jeff, though I don't usually have a problem with Waits. But, as I recollect, the time seemed all wrong.

This morning

Earl Bostic & his alto sax no 2 - King (Parlophone UK 10")

A bit small that image, so here's a bigger one of the first one

Gene Ludwig - Now's the time - Muse

Now

Jimmy Forrest, King Curtis & Oliver Nelson - Soul battle - Prestige (Ace UK)

Fabulous session I never get tired of!

Earlier today:

Illinois Jacquet - Swing's the Thing (Verve)

Marian McPartland - At the Hickory House (Capitol)

[jeffcrom]

Bud Shank & his Brazilian Friends (PJ mono). The main Brazilian friend is Joao Donato. I had this album on at my apartment about 16 years ago when my wife and I were dating; she characterized it as "bachelor pad" music. Well, she was wrong - it's way tougher than that. It gets into some depths. Shank will make you cry on "Once I Loved."

I don't remember if the album "worked" that night or not.

[jeffcrom]

Chicago Ain't Nothin' But a Blues Band (Delmark). Different from the CD issue - missing some tracks, but with some tracks which aren't on the CD. In any case, fabulous blues from the Atomic-H label.

[jeffcrom]

Sam Musiker - Jewish Wedding Dances (Tikva) I added this to my growing stack of cheap klezmer LPs from the 50's and 60's today. Sam Musiker had played tenor and clarinet in Gene Krupa's band and in the band of his musical hero and father-in-law, Dave Tarras. I wish I could find a picture of the cover online; it's odd and cool.

Again. And I still can't find a picture, at least not in jpeg format.

1959/1961 sessions (produced by Herb Abramson...was this material ever released before this?). Used to like all of this type stuff, now like just some.

Interesting is the frequent use of James Moody & orchestra, written (and tuned) to resemble the Ray Charles group of the time.
