Jimmie Rowles - Shade & Light

Ahead (a sub of Black & Blue), 1978

with George Duvivier and Oliver Jackson

Surprise find in a local second hand LP shop - very tasty trio date with Jimmie singing in many tunes in his charming manner. Duvivier plays a gorgeous imitation of a bee humming around in "A Sleeping Bee".

Whenever I see a Rowles disc I do not have, I buy it. I never was disappointed.

[jazzbo]

Rowles never disappoints me either.

Right now, Mono

Taking for another spin: John Coltrane - Blue Train (Blue Note/Music Matters). The new 33 rpm mono cut. Beautiful sound on this disc. Quite a nice presentation too. These guys really know how to do it right.

I'd be interested to hear how it compared with an 47W63rd original - and also that 45rpm version (Acoustic Sounds?)

So would I, but I would not be the person with the ability to do it.

Pepper Adams - Julian (Inner City). Not my favorite Pepper Adams date but still worth spinning.

[jeffcrom]

George Girard - Stompin' at the Famous Door (Vik). This supremely talented New Orleans trumpeter was only 26 when he died. Tonight I'm hearing a Bunny Berigan influence I had never really noticed before. And the great Harry Shields, one of my favorite New Orleans clarinetists, is on hand with some fabulous playing.

[kh1958]

Gil Evans, America's #1 Arranger (Pacific Jazz mono), and Eddie Lockjaw Davis with Johnny Griffin, The Late Show (Prestige mono).

[jeffcrom]

Charlie Christian/Wardell Gray - Tribute From Sweden (Fran Staterna). A bootleg (from Boris Rose, I think), purporting to be on a Swedish label. The music is pretty wonderful - mostly Benny Goodman Sextet/Septet broadcasts featuring Christian (from 1941) on side one and featuring Gray (from 1948) on side two.

Later, toward the end of side one - Goodman plays two measures of pure Teschemacher in "Wholly Cats." Very cool.

[sidewinder]

Certainly looks like a Boris Rose boot - typography very similar to some of the Ozone LPs I have.

[B. Clugston]

Maurizio Bianchi, Das Platinzeitalter.

Toru Takemitsu, Miniatur-Art

And two great examples of trumpet-led quartets:

Music Inc., Live at Slugs', Vol. 2.

Tomasz Stanko, Music 81

NAANCORE - Dave Rempis (as), Lasse Marhaug (electronics). Aerophonic LP.

I like Marhaug's electronics because he is so aggressive, so over the top, and so willing to celebrate noise; there is no inhibition about it.

But the real story of this record is Dave Rempis' phenomenal blowing throughout two 20-minute, continuous sides. Rempis sometimes seems like a man blowing a saxophone in the middle of a hurricane, and all the happier for that. Variety, power, and energy mark his playing here. Never heard Rempis at quite this level in KV5
