clifford_thornton Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 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'. 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! Quote

It's probably the only BN sleeve which was IMPROVED when Applause issued it 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!

jeffcrom Posted October 3, 2012 Report Posted October 3, 2012 Wayne Shorter - Moto Grosso Feio (BN UA). I've always loved this album - it might be the Wayne Shorter album I would take to a desert island, even over Speak No Evil or Adam's Apple or the similar Odyssey of Iska. Quote

I've always loved this album - it might be the Wayne Shorter album I would take to a desert island, even over Speak No Evil or Adam's Apple or the similar Odyssey of Iska. Not played in a while so prompted to get it out. Probably not one for my desert island. Quote

I've always loved this album - it might be the Wayne Shorter album I would take to a desert island, even over Speak No Evil or Adam's Apple or the similar Odyssey of Iska. What's the draw for you here, Jeff? Are you actually going to make me rationally defend my late-night enthusiasm for an album I originally bought on eight-track tape? Okay - it's probably not really as good as it seemed to me last night. But I love the tunes, the atmosphere, and the great examples of Shorter's c. 1970 free style on "Antigua" and "Iska." I used to play "Montezuma" with a couple of bands - maybe I should dust that one off. And I was heartbroken when that 8-track broke. Quote
JSngry Posted October 3, 2012 Report Posted October 3, 2012 I used to play "Montezuma" with a couple of bands - Hey, so did I! Atmosphere, yeah, it's got that for sure. For me, Odyssey Of Iska has a lot more focus, but I can dig where you're coming from. And I was heartbroken when that 8-track broke. I felt the same way when my On The Corner 8-track bit the dust.

jeffcrom Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 When my wife is out of town, I usually take at least one night to pull out the boxes of 45s and crank them up too loud. I just finished the jazz portion of the evening: John Graas - French Horn Jazz, Volumes 1 & 2 (Trend EPs). Really wonderful music from 1953. Bunky Green - By the Time I Get to Phoenix/Sweet Inspiration (MET). I've mentioned this before - a very mysterious single, produced by Paul Serrano and not listed in any discography that I've seen. Ken Colyer - Ken Colyer's Jazz Men (Storyville) Louis Armstrong - The Beat Generation/Someday You'll Be Sorry (MGM) Louis Armstrong - Someday You'll Be Sorry/I Still Get Jealous (Kapp) On to blues and R & B!

jeffcrom Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) R & B 45s; trending toward New Orleans toward the second half: Israel "Popper Stopper" Tolbert - Big Leg Woman/I Got Love (Warren) James Carr - You've Got My Mind Messed Up/That's What I Want to Know (Goldwax) Syl Johnson - Take Me To the River/Could I Be Falling in Love (Hi). It's often forgotten that this was the hit version back in the day, rather than Al Green's recording. Syl Johnson - Steppin/Suicide Blues (Shama) O.V. Wright - That's How Strong My Love Is/There Goes My Used to Be (Goldwax) Jackie Moore - Precious, Precious/ Willpower (Atlantic) And down to New Orleans: Aaron Neville - Tell It Like It Is/Why Worry (Par Lo) Big Boy Myles -Gray Bonnet/New Orleans (Ace) Roland Stone - Just a Moment/I Can't Help It (Ace). I love Roland Stone - one of the great, forgotten blue-eyed New Orleans R & B singers. Shortly before his death he put out a great CD, Remember Me. Johnny Adams - A Losing Battle/Who's Gonna Love You (Ric) Johnny Adams - I Won't Cry/I Want to Walk Through This Life Life With You (SSS) Johnny Adams - Reconsider Me/If I Could See You One More Time (SSS) Johnny Adams - Hell Yes, I Cheated/I'm Afraid to Let You Into My Life (Paid) Professor Longhair - Big Chief, parts 1 & 2 (Watch) Eddie Bo - Every Dog Got His Day/Tell It Like Is (Ric). The B side is not the same song that Aaron Neville sang. L'il Queenie and the Percolators - My Darlin' New Orleans/Wild Natives (Great Southern). Allen Lowe doesn't like the sound on this one. I don't care - this is an amazing record. Edited October 4, 2012 by jeffcrom Quote
