Lenny Hambro----------The nature of things------(Fontana) UK

1956 sessions with Hambro on alto and Barry Galbraith and Edfie Costa doing their usual thing. Hambro isn't massively distinctive but the session has comfortable softer hardbop feel. Not dissimilar to a typical Bethlehem session. Solid recording from Epic and excellent pressing. Nice one.

Plenty o' vinyl to be spun this weekend as I'm on for a pre-amp upgrade. :)

I did this recently. An upgraded Moon phono amp made an enormous difference to my vinyl pleasure.!

Nice one ! Have just re-powered up with the new amp in place (took hours to reconnect everything) and the improvement is not small. Both LP and CD playback are massively improved.

Ilpo Saastoimenen "joujetsen juju" (love, Finland) have not played this record in at least 5 years...bought it because of Edward Vesala's involvement but it still confuses me. An odd record - definitely not "jazz" but it's really all over the map. Anyways, not many albums in my collection leave me scratching my head when I listen to it like this one. Is this a good thing!?

^ yeah, I'm thinking that other than the Japanese pressing on Trio, this is my option for hearing the Hush sessions on LP.

The recent Think! pressing of Angel Eyes is kinda crappy. Wish there was an earlier affordable pressing to compare (as the Polydor is a little out of my league).

Chuck,

You probably know this already, but that Pee Wee Russell Dot LP is also included in this not-difficult-to-find Dedication Series/"Salute to Newport" set:

It'd likely be easier to find than the original Dot LP. :)

Lee Konitz - Very Cool (Japanese Verve/Polydor)

I just played this same record yesterday! :)

Now playing: Bunky Green - The Places We've Never Been (Vanguard). Apparently, this was issued on CD but I've never seen it on a shelf, new or used. It's one drawback is the twangy bass sound of the late 70s/early 80s that just drives me nuts. Twang, twung, twang, twung... ugh.
