What vinyl are you spinning right now??

UK Jasmine issue

[jeffcrom]

Jesper Thilo/Clark Terry - Tribute to Frog (Storyville). My copy is not in great shape, but since this session has not been reissued in full, I'm keeping it.

I wish folks would take care of their records when I'm going to buy them years later!

Gene Ammons - Got My Own

Could there be a more accurately titled Gene Ammons album?

[Clunky]

Gigi Gryce- Rat Race Blues (New Jazz) -

[jeffcrom]

Louis Smith - Prancin' (Steeplechase)

[JSngry]

A Trenier-ish piano/bass trio with Al Harewood on drums, whose presence answers the question,"how DO jazz musicians make a living?"

A family remembrance from the daughter son of Mr. Chiles can be found here: http://mybrownbaby.b...ny-rollins.html

Those who get pissed off about historical inaccuracies daring to be served up in family remembrnces, just...stay away. But it's kinda nice to find out what happened to at least one half of this duo, just because, ya' know, there's a lot of people go into the factory, and more often than not, you never hear how they end up, or even if they make it out.

Tony Scott - Boomerang

Tony Scott playing with a Czech Trad band in 1977 (yes, there's banjo, and yes, the "swing" is more often than not indeed "swing", although sincerity of intent is never an issue). There's more than a few moments where Scott channels the spirit of Lester Young in his phrasing unlike I've ever heard anybody else do it...eerie. Then there's times when he applies his more extreme clarinet techniques to the tenor and sounds not too unlike Albert Ayler taking over the body of Bud Freeman...equally eerie.

All in all, it's a curiosity, albeit a weirdly fun one. I got mine for forty-nine cents, and would gladly have paid 10x that for it.

Max Roach 'Drums Unlimited' (Atlantic red/purple mono)

Haven't heard that one since Ed Dipple lent me it in the 60s, but I still remember an amazing rendition of "Mop Mop" where Max plays the melody on drums.
