Clunky Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 The Ex------30------( ex records) double let album of the Dutch outfits own recordings from 1979-2009. I don't usualy go for compliations but thought this a reasonable way to acquaint myself with their oeuvre. Picked it up at their recent concert here in Edinburgh. I'm really impressed. I can see why they've lasted this length of time but not why I've only just heard of them ! Quote

niels Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Nice selection I must go to Berlin How's the Shofar? I've not heard either of their releasesGood to know that record stores still exist somewhere.Yes, I think there where at least 10 recordstores within a 15 minute walking distance from our appartment. And if I had more time/money I could have bought a lot more mjazzg-> I think the Shofar is fantastic! A very nice mixture of Klezmer/folk songs and freejazz, which (to me at least) feels very authentic, organic and tasteful. I think sometimes these mixtures of styles can feel a bit gimmicky and/or plastic, but this is not the case here. I think Trzaska handles the old Jewish music/tradition with respect, but at the same time transfers it to the "here and now" with his own (and those of the other players of course) artistic vision.

aparxa Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Marian McPartland - InterplayThat Marian McPartland record is FANTASTIC, imho. And not at all what one might expect from her; it's much more hard-charging and aggressive. In fact, on that particular record, McPartland's playing reminds me a bit of Joanne Brackeen's style in the 1970s. Concord has reissued most of McPartland's Halcyon LP on CD, but I don't think they've ever gotten 'round to Interplay. And that's a shame -- because I think it's one of MM's very best records.I am familiar with multiple Piano Jazz programs upped on Dime, but it's the first record that I have from her and it's warmly recommended.My before-the-week-end treats:Jenkins/Jordan/TimmonsMax Roach - members, don't git wearyZoot Sims - I wish I were twinsCannonball Adderley - 74 Miles Away Comment from a rookie: I have a record, pressed by BBC: Wooden Joe's New Orleans Band at Artisan Hall + Bunk plays the Blue at San Jacinto Hall. It's a 12" (30.5 cm, not 30 cm) and my turntable won't spin. I guess my Denon is not adapted to this type of record! Quote

LP1 contains Side 1&4, LP2 the in-between tracks. Was it a common habit from BN or just a mistake? Great music all the way through! Back in the day, this was fairly common -- and not just with Blue Note. IIRC, the origins of this were multi-LP record changing turntables. Putting sides 1 & 4 on a disc allows you to put two LPs on the turntable at once and hear sides 1 & 2 in sequence. Then you could flip both records and hear sides 3 & 4 in sequence. I've been enjoying this LP: Edited August 30, 2015 by HutchFan Quote
Clunky Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Tommy Whittle ------ Easy Listening-----( Ember ) UK mono DG released 1960All originals in this set. It's not easy listening as most would define that genre. It's got an aggressive West Coast vibe not unlike some of the Zoot and Al recordings ( You n Me etc). Edited August 30, 2015 by Clunky Quote

Esquire outdid themselves with new title , new cover and preposterous liner notes about bringing this record ... " because Jazz is like now" (ouch!!)Ira G's notes from the New Jazz issue remain as does the music from Farmer/ Gryce Edited August 30, 2015 by Clunky Quote

Gotta say "an aggressive West Coast vibe" reads like a Dusty Groove review. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 Lee Morgan "leeway" (blue note, mono 47 w 63rd). A recent score..1st pressing with deep groove on both sides. Cover a bit worn and vinyl is slightly crackly but definitely a serviceable copy at $60Hank Mobley "a caddy for daddy" (blue note, New York USA stereo) another recent purchase..$25 and pristine condition. Really enjoying this one right now..better then I expected from this vintage. Quote
