What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Homefromtheforest]

Anima (Pilz). German improv from Limpe and Paul Fuchs, with Austrians Friedrich Gulda and J.A. Rettenbacher sitting in.

Nice!

It's a pretty uncompromising album that's for sure...have not played my copy in nearly 20 years!

Wardell Gray - Way Out Wardell (Crown). My copy has the same price tag as the one in the picture. I thought for a minute it must be the same copy, but my price tag is positioned differently.

Duke Ellington, Black, Brown and Beige, The 1944-1946 Recordings (Bluebird)

Art Ensemble of Chicago, Fanfare for the Warriors (Atlantic)

[mjazzg]

Amina Claudine Myers Trio - The Circle of Time [black Saint]

[soulpope]

[kh1958]

The Sounds of Jimmy Smith (Blue Note W. 63rd). Unfortunately a beaten copy.

Jackie McLean, One Step Beyond (Blue Note NY USA). A nice copy, found yesterday for $15.

Keith Tippett Septet - "A loose kite in a gentle wind floating with only my will for an anchor" [Ogun]

thanks Bev!

[Clunky]

Lennie Tristano------- Descent into the maelstrom ------( East Wind)

Odds and ends from Lennie. Quite interesting but a hard listen given the recording quality which is fair at best.

Jack Duff -------The Enchanted Isle-------(Avenue)

A 1971 hard bop album with the late Kenny Wheeler adding immensely to the attractive themes. My copy looks clean but has quite a few rough spots which don't really detract too much from the driving music .

I used to have this LP years ago but sold it because it did not really grab me much. I bought it because of Wheeler's presence but unfortunately the music struck me as rather so-so.

Steve Reid "rhythmatism" (mustevic, USA)

Embryo "rock session" (brain metronome, Germany) some guy named Mal Waldron on keyboards

[mjazzg]

Keith Tippett - Blueprint [RCA]

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Jane Ira Bloom - Second Wind (Outline Records). Beat up record with the cover almost separated, but I've never seen it before, I like Bloom's playing and it was only $3, so I took a chance. So far, it's very nice.

Oh hell - I just realised it's not Jack McDuff but Jack Duff. What a duffer

Andrew Hill - Dance With Death (Blue Note). This is another rainbow LP that just doesn't sound very good, which is why I think a lot of them sat in the can until Michael Cuscuna rescued them. Trumpeter Charles Tolliver sounds like he's playing in the other room. There's clearly something wrong with this recording and it's much more noticeable on the original LP.

Edit: The more I listen to this, I have to wonder if RVG accidentally left a microphone shut off. Listen to the drum solo on the second track, "Partitions".

Duke Pearson, Sweet Honey Bee (Blue Note Liberty). Not a great copy of the LP, but still it is amazing how much better it sounds than the CD.

I bought my copy years ago from J.I.B. and still enjoy listening to it.

Wasn't that one of those where the master tape was lost?

Yes, apparently so.

Amancio D'Silva "integration" (lansdowne, UK stereo). Amazing album and every time I listen to it I still feel it's a stronger session then "hum dono" but for some reason doesn't get the same hype.
