What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[clifford_thornton]

I'm glad there's at least one other Moondoc fan here. He doesn't get a lot of love on this board.

Yes, and perhaps even generally too. I don't really understand that.

[clifford_thornton]

me neither. more for us.

I love what of his I've heard-- need to actually pick up copies of the records.

Ernie Henry: Seven Standards and a Blues (Riverside Japan)

[paul secor]

Billie Holiday: Velvet Mood (Verve Japan)

[JSngry]

Billie Holiday: Velvet Mood (Verve Japan)

Don't know whatever material/session(s) that is by that name/cover...what is it, exactly?

Prices on the first two Muntu LPs are insane lately - don't know why, they're strong but not impossible to find - but it's all worth digging into. The Cadence is easy to obtain and cheap/still in print, and the Soul Notes are also generally cheap and in as-new if not "new" condition. The Eremite CDs are all killer, too. I like the Poljazz pretty well but the pressing is turd-like (unsurprisingly).

Masahiko Togashi & Masayuki Takayanagi "pulsation" (paddlewheel, Japan) I have not played this in over 10 years...a great 1983 duo concert from these veterans of the Japanese free jazz scene.

Marvin Stamm 'Machinations' (Verve, stereo)

I must have got s bit lucky on my PolJazz, mine's not that bad, although it will never be mistaken for an audiophile release. Still, I loved the performance and so would recommend it. As for early Muntu, I really like the Muntu 3-CD box on No Business.

Roswell Rudd - Inside Job [Freedom]

Prompted by a Samuel Blaser discussion elsewhere on the board. i haven't played this for a long time. One word comes to mind "magnificent" - big, bold, grooves like hell but does so with a disguised subtelty and a lot of heart and soul

[paul secor]

Billie Holiday: Velvet Mood (Verve Japan)

Don't know whatever material/session(s) that is by that name/cover...what is it, exactly?

Los Angeles, Aug. 23-25 - 1955

Billie Holiday, Harry Edison, Benny Carter, Jimmy Rowles, Barney Kessel, John Simmons, Larry Bunker

Prelude to a Kiss; When Your Lover Has Gone; Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone; Nice Work If You Can Get It; I've Got a Right To Sing the Blues; What's New; I Hadn't Anyone Till You, Everything I Have Is Yours

Yes, Rudd tops the list for me. An incredible player. I saw him at Vision Fest last year and, even ill, he played extraordinarily well. I might say he is a wonderful musician, whereas others are often "just" fine trombonists (no shame in that, but no glory either).

Curtis Fuller 'Soul Trombone' (Impulse, mono)

Curtis Fuller 'Soul Trombone' (Impulse, mono)

I think that's the first time I've seen a listing for "Jim Cobb".

[Leeway]

A couple of Art Ensemble of Chicago albums:

REESE AND THE SMOOTH ONES - Affinity

FANFARE FOR THE WARRIORS - Atlantic Jazzlore

[B. Clugston]

Nicra, Listen/Hear (Ogun). Nice quintet date led by trombonists Nick Evans and Radu Malfatti (back when he played hot trombone as opposed to staring at his shoe). Keith Tippett, Buschi Niebergall and Makaya Ntshoko are also on board.

Bobby Timmons: Born To Be Blue (Riverside Japan)

If I could only keep one Bobby Timmons LP, it would probably be this one.

[Leeway]

PARADISE SPACE SHUTTLE - George Adams Quintet - Adams (ts, fl, voc), Ron Burton (p), Don Pate (b), Al Foster (d), Azzedin Weston (perc). Timeless - Muse LP.

EARTH BEAMS - George Adams/Don Pullen Quartet with Dannie Richmond and Cameron Brown. Timeless LP.

[paul secor]

Julius Watkins Sextet: Blue Note 10 Inch LP Collection (BN/King)

[Leeway]

HEAVY SPIRITS - Oliver Lake - Arista Freedom LP. A very good album that does not seem to have obtained much status. Joseph Bowie does a nice track here too.
