Last night :

Sun Ra Live in Paris et the Gibus (French Atlantic): I'm not an expert, neither a completist, but this a favourite.

Joe Daley At Newport '63 (RCA, UK mono): According to the sleeve notes, it's the complete afternoon concert filled out wiith a recording of the soundcheck, but I also read (here?) that some of the tracks are studio recordings. Anyway, it's a great set and the mono sound is very sweet.

George Russell Sextet In K.C. (Brunswick): I have the original Decca, but with a water damaged cover. Now I've found a beautiful German mono pressing. I like this one very much. One oddity is that the "Lunacy" track is credited to trombonist Dave Baker, while it's a composition by a very young Carla Bley who was Russell's student at that time.

I have that Sun Ra on French Atlantic too; it is a great album but my copy is a slightly noisy pressing - looks mint but it's crackly in spots :(

solid blowing date with some fine Percy France on tenor - part of today's nice haul, been way too long that I did any digging for vinyl and had a great time ... more info and larger pic* on discogs:
http://www.discogs.com/Oliver-Jackson-Presents-Le-Quartet/release/3108940

the LP is signed by Leonard Gaskin left of his pic, there's more writing on top next to Jackson's pic, but it looks more like a dedication or something in Gaskin's writing than like another signature ... can't really tell though.*)

Miles Davis 'Blue Haze' (Esquire mono, flat edge pressing)

This was Gramaphone Magazine's review copy from 1960 and Charles Fox has initialled the back and annotated the Esquire EPs from which most of the tracks originate (at least here in the UK). Cool !

Moog and/or piano. Pretty good

Chest hair on the cover didn't work for Herbie Mann and it doesn't work here either

David Wertman--------Kara Suite----------(Mustevic Sound Records)

 

picke this up because of seeing Charles Tyler on the credits. It's another odd album of freejazz , grooves and some mysticism to boot. Interesting.

Steve was big into "free love" and had a very timely vibe. Still does. And he could play the hell out of the bass. Spent some fine recent hours listening to master tapes of his late '60s band with Noah Howard, great stuff.
