jeffcrom Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 The Early Benny Carter (Everest). Wonderful music from Carter's 1936-37 stint in England. This is an inferior, incomplete issue, but it's the way I first heard these recordings back in my college days, so I'm fond of it. And the sound is acceptable if you fold down the fake stereo into mono. Quote

erwbol Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Prince Lawsha - Firebirds: Live at Berkeley Jazz Festival vol 1 [Birdseye] Reminder to self to dig that one back out !That's one of those that never made it to CD? Discogs only shows three volumes of vinyl. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Never on CD.A friend's label was going to do an authorized version on CD (a two or three-disc set, can't remember) but the label ran out of money and the project was scuttled. Ornette had even agreed to do liner notes, if I recall correctly. Quote

Clunky Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Gary McFarland -----Point of Departure-----(Impulse) 1972 reissue but none the worse for that. Still has lovely heavy glossy GF sleeve. I've not played this in a while and it's a very good album. Quote

Clunky Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Bobby Timmons This Here (Riverside Interdisc) UK pressing - very quiet Hand clap you way through the title number , plus Dat Dere, Moanin and others. It's simultaneously a shout and a chant..... Quote
Clunky Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Today's record fair mini haul. Reasonable prices for all. The Bill Dixon side sounds as if it's been recorded under water. It's a CBS Realm pressing ,known for being dodgy in these parts. In fact it's just fine. The original recording is the problem. Good to hear it any way. Quote
kh1958 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Lonnie Smith, The Turning Point (Blue Note/Liberty). Flawless LP and seemingly unplayed, a great find. Quote
Larry Kart Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) Erroll Garner's "Soliloquy" and Johnny Griffin and Lockjaw Davis' "Tough Tenor Favorites." The former, all solo from 1957, Garner very free and inventive, vividly recorded in Columbia's 30th St. studio. The latter nicely recorded too for a Ray Fowler date, Buddy Catlett on bass captured with much clarity and presence (the rest of the rhythm section is Horace Parlan and Ben Riley), Griff and Jaws joyfully intense and not at all pro forma.

I have an original Savoy that sounds murky, but the music is sublime. The score of "Winter Song" (the longer piece - the titles are switched on the record) was printed in an issue of Down Beat in '65 or '66 I believe. Quote
Larry Kart Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Lee Konitz - SpiritsI reviewed that one for Down Beat when it came out way back when. Quote
Larry Kart Posted July 5, 2015 Report Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Re: that Julie London album with the nutty Jimmy Rowles charts (played by an uncredited big band, though Benny Carter was quite identifiable) that I went on about a while ago. Today I put on an LP I had but had never seriously listened to before, “Bobby Troup and His Stars of Jazz” (RCA,) from the same year, 1958, with a big band with Rowles on piano and eight arrangments by him (the other four are by Shorty Rogers), and vocals by Troup (London's husband and the producer of that London album). The collective personnel is quite a gathering of the L.A. studio clan: Pete and Conte Candoli, Buddy Childers, Ollie Mitchell, Al Porcino, Shorty, Ray Triscari, Stu Williamson (tpts); Milt Bernhart, Harry Betts, Bob Enevoldsen, John Halliburton, Dick Nash, Frank Rosolino, Kenny Shroyer (trbs); Benny Carter, Bob Cooper, Chuck Gentry, Bill Holman, Bud Shank, Plas Johnson, Richie Kamuca, Paul Horn (reeds); Rowles, Red Norvo, Barney Kessel, Joe Mondragon or Monty Budwig, Mel Lewis or Shelly Manne. A very relaxed date, handsomely recorded, with great presence on bass and drums. My copy is mono; the stereo version might be nice to hear. "The "Stars of Jazz" BTW was the L.A.-based jazz TV show of the time that Troup hosted. Edited July 5, 2015 by Larry Kart Quote
