Leeway Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Congratulations to Homefromtheforest: How about KOB for a chill pill? Haha thx good suggestion! I got to pick which copy to play though...have a us 6 eye stereo, 6 eye mono, a Canadian 6 eye mono, a Japanese Sony, the Columbia legacy CD AND the SACD! Yes I love this album I'll see if I can get some chill time tonight too but today's been rough...newborns are hard work and I'm just the dad! Edited July 31, 2014 by Leeway Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I have an amazing Steve Potts 4tet CD called "Pearls"...And there's a great Steve Potts performance on a Tchangodei LP called "sans chemin"...with George Lewis...a superb LP that is a must have! Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Potts also recorded a couple of albums with Chico Hamilton before he emigrated to France. And I have a 1979 album by blues harmonica player Sugar Blue that Potts plays on - Cross Roads. It was recorded in Paris, and has appeared on several French labels. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I don't have any of those Lps with Potts but I do have his LP on the "123" French label from the early 70s which is pretty cool...has a nice cover photo of him chilling out at some Paris cafe. I took Leeway's advice and am just finishing side two of my USA 6-eye stereo copy of "kind of blue"...probably the only record in my collection that I own over 5 different versions of. Still haven't played the 50th anniversary box set vinyl of this yet even though I have that too! Quote
jeffcrom Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Muggsy Spanier big band - Little David Play Your Harp (Jazz Archives). Muggy's short-lived big band only made two studio sessions, so this album of airchecks gives a fuller picture of what the band sounded like. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Had a well-worn 6 eye mono for years, finally let it go a few years ago. Need to get a fresh copy, 6-eye or Japanese. One of several classics I no longer own on LP! Potts is a monster - need to grab a copy of that soundtrack LP that Homefromtheforest refers to, though I hear the pressing can tend towards the "off" side. TENOR RISING DRUMS EXPANDING - Sabir Mateen (ts) and Daniel Carter and Davis Nuss (drums). 1995. NYC. 1-sided 12" LP, hand-made and colored LP sleeves. Mine looks a bit different than the one pictured (has more blue); the LP label is the same. About 20 min of mind-altering flat-out, ferocious, wailing, screaming, crashing free playing. I love that stuff. Mine is hand-painted with bits of gravel and sand stuck in the paint. Quote
Clunky Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Thick poly bag, all's fine. Same solution for my copy of 'Sticky Fingers' Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Peter Leitch Exhilaration (Reservoir). Van Gelder pressing. Nice date that I've enjoyed on CD for years. Of course, I got it for Pepper Adams and he doesn't disappoint. Quote
Leeway Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Reissue of the album, "Togetherness" on Durium label. The Inner City is a lot cheaper Don Cherry, Gato Barbieri, J.F. Jenny Clark, Karl Berger, Aldo Romano. Really a very nice album. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 I think I paid $40 for the Durium years ago. Strong session. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I paid around the same for my durium copy too but if memory serves correctly there's a 1st and second issue of that album on the same label with a very minor difference between the two.. I used to have the inner city pressing too...nothing wrong with that issue...sounded fine...just preferred the artwork on the Italian issue. Thick poly bag, all's fine.Same solution for my copy of 'Sticky Fingers'Maybe cuz I'm a bit anal I can't stand weird/awkward LP packages! I like all my records straight up and neatly aligned...even when covers have a slight curve like some old blue notes I get annoyed! Edited July 31, 2014 by Homefromtheforest Quote
paul secor Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Hank Mobley Quintet with Sonny Clark (BN/Toshiba EMI) Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 31, 2014 Report Posted July 31, 2014 Roswell Rudd - Everywhere - (Impulse, mono) my copy of that Durium is definitely a first - small deep groove, etc. There is also a Cicala reissue from the 70s that uses the Durium's placid-looking white cover. Quote
Leeway Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 I think I paid $40 for the Durium years ago. Strong session. Lately it seems to be going for $65 to $105 (on Popsike). Mine was around $5 or $6. Sounds fine too. Too bad Gato left the fold; he plays really well on the early sessions. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Mines the cicala issue...so the DG is on the original huh? Hmm...not sure I need the 1st press but if I ever see it for cheap maybe I'll grab it... Quote
paul secor Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Jaki Byard: Hi-Fly (Prestige/New Jazz Japan) Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Willis Jackson - Grease 'n' Gravy (Prestige silver fireworks stereo label). I like a wide of variety of music, but this is exactly what I needed tonight. Quote

Hmm...not sure I need the 1st press but if I ever see it for cheap maybe I'll grab it... Yeah, super heavy stock jacket - real nice, but not something I'd spend a ton of bread on. There are at least five pressings of this record. Now: Yamashita Yosuke - First Time - (Frasco, JP) w/ Jarman, Favors and Moye Quote
jeffcrom Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Imperial Brass Band - A New Orleans Street Parade Live in Paris (Sandcastle). A fairly obscure New Orleans brass band LP from 1976. The Imperial was (in this incarnation) trumpet player Alvin Alcorn's band. He took a fairly small group (seven pieces, plus a grand marshall) to Europe on this tour, presumably for economic reasons. I would have preferred another trombone and a saxophone or two, but this is still some pretty enjoyable New Orleans street band music. There doesn't seem to be a usable image on the interwebs. Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 1, 2014 Report Posted August 1, 2014 Willis Jackson - Grease 'n' Gravy (Prestige silver fireworks stereo label). I like a wide of variety of music, but this is exactly what I needed tonight. when i saw Pat last year i presented this for him to sign- he smiled and recalled it as his 1st session! he was also like: theres my real name. Flute Flight, prompted by Larry's post. I found this one a little while back, and like it, too. Sure, Mann was never an improvisational genius, but this is a long way from his Shirtless Rock Guy days. I associate Ozzie Cadena with Savoy, but I have several Prestige albums he produced, including a couple of Willis Jacksons and albums by Curtis Fuller, Bud Freeman, and Roy Haynes. my 1st prestige record Quote

Pat Martino must have just about the most elaborate musician signature out there. What he did on the cover of my 'El Hombre' is a work of art ! Quote
