Clare Fischer - Easy living - Revelation (Jazz Workshop London)

My sleeve isn't anything like this one. Good job too; I might not have bought it seeing Clare looking so much like a pratt in that little beard :) He had better beards on Pacific Jazz. Maybe Bock was in charge of the barber shop.

I suppose you've got the same cover as I have:

Never seen a 'Jazz Workshop London' pressing of any other title. This has very heavy vinyl, but not too good sound.

His worst beard must have been on 'Great White Hope', though:

Joe Sample 'Try Us' (Sonet, 1969) with J.C. Moses and Red Mitchell.

Huh - didn't know of this J.C. Moses appearance. Interesting.

He plays fine in this setting, although it is perhaps more conservative than some of his other appearances. I find Sample more enjoyable here than with the Jazz Crusaders; he gets opportunity to stretch out a bit.

Sound clip available here: http://www.recordmania.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=f4b7f0b55c1010629e7eb4923c71a818&query=joe+sample&ref=search_records

This is also available as a cheap CD reissue under the title 'Fancy Dance'.

Paul Barnes - Portrait of a New Orleans Clarinet Player (CSA). A wonderful 1973 record by the New Orleans Creole clarinetist, who recorded with Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver, and Oscar Celestin in the 1920's. The rhythm section consists, in its entirety, of pianist Sing Miller and drummer Louis Barbarin. Side one pairs Barnes with longtime Fats Domino alto saxist Joseph Harris; on side two his front-line partner is the great Louis Nelson on trombone. This record makes me smile.

Later: Whatever the opposite of "slick" is, that's what this album is. I love it.

Again. This music really made me feel good.

And again. Still can't find a picture online.

Yes, that's the sleeve I've got. Couldn't find it yesterday. Sometimes the internet ain't your friend...

Actually, I like that sleeve very much. I like his beard on 'Thesaurus', too. But the one on 'Easy living' is totally wimpy.

Neither could I, so I put up a photo of my copy. Feel free to use the link! :)

Now playing: Jimmy Smith 'Plain Talk' (Liberty pressing). McLean's appearance makes the whole album for me.

Yeah, sounds like a nice record - not earth shaking, but not everything has to be.

I could never understand what was up with the Plain Talk jacket, by the way. So strange!

Yes. It's probably the only BN sleeve which was IMPROVED when Applause issued it :D

I got my copy cheap (4 EUR) because someone has painted the cover all blue and then just written "Jimmy Smith, Plain Talk' with a white crayon!
