What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Clunky]

Joe Henderson ---------Inner Urge--------(Blue Note) NYC mono

 

I think I've mentioned before but this album was a slow grower on me. Perhaps surprising given that I have viewed La Roca's Basra as one of my top 5 BN sessions. Inner Urge gives you a generally modal sound where as Basra is full of eastern mystery ,which is at once different and attractive in equal measure.

Stan Getz, Early Stan (Prestige), and Sonny Stitt, Rearin' Back (Argo)

Sun Ra: Solo Piano Volume 1 (Improvising Artists Inc.)

Three Sounds 'Coldwater Flat' (BN blue/white Liberty stereo) - Dan's old copy.

 

Down to LPs only - power supply to the CD player now away for re-capping. In the process of powering the system back up sans CD there is one heck of a sonic upgrade in terms of soundstage. Astonishing - I can only assume that the CD supply was outputting crap into the rest of the system thanks to its kaput reservoir capacitors..

From a collection of 450 LPs I bought from a man a few weeks ago. Lots of 1980s reissues of "big" albums - OJC, Fresh Sound etc. I'm listening to one a day!

NIce buy, especially if the price was right.

Nice.

I just bought some stuff from a guy from our electrical firm (he'd just installed a ceiling fan for us)  who was selling his late mother's LPs. A fair amount of older classical stuff I didn't have, all in fine shape (a bunch of Novaes' Vox albums, Gigli's "Tosca," "Un Ballo De Maschera,"  and 1938 Verdi Requiem, etc.) but also a bunch of MJR LPs (Earl Hines, piano anthologies, Don Byas, etc. and some Mary Lou Williams). His mom must have been a cool lady.

Tom Harrell - Play Of Light (Blackhawk). Not really digging this one much, especially the guitarist, Poor Eddie Gomez's bass sounds terrible.

Went to Crossroads (local collectors co-op) looking for one of the 2 albums contained herein, now enjoying in the comfort of my own home.

Three seemingly unrelated albums I picked up in Seattle over the weekend. I hear plenty of connections between them.

George Lewis - Shadowgraph (Black Saint). I had always regretted not getting this when it was there to be got. Nice to finally have a good-quality copy.

Gary Burton - The Groovy Sound of Music (RCA Victor mono). Mr. Burton meets Mr. Swallow for the first time on vinyl.

Preservation Hall Jazz Band - Live at Carnegie Hall (Preservation Hall/Rounder 10"). The PHJB's January 7, 2012 concert resulted in the St. Peter & 57th St. CD and this 10" LP, which was in print for about five minutes. I missed out four years ago, but I'm glad to have it now.

Just picked up Shadowgraph myself recently - it's in the 'to listen' pile right now... 

Now:

something I've had (obviously) for many years, Clifford Thornton - Freedom & Unity - (Third World, US private press orig)

[Homefromtheforest]

Shadowgraph is a very fine record; have not played it in over 10 years.  A nice reminder to pull it out one day.  I recall not liking it quite as much as "homage to Charlie Parker" though..

I should pick up those Clifford Thornton records on Third World one day   I only have the BYG and "gardens of Harlem" albums.

Now spinning:

Grant Green "Sunday morning" (blue note, NY stereo ear)

Usually coincides with UK/Europe early morning post time. Special service?

[BillF]

The answer of course, Sidewinder, is get up and get your posting done at 4 a.m.

Shake a leg!

Freedom & Unity is great -- have had a few copies over the years and the one I've got now is in archival condition. Seems like between the small-label cheap pressing and dudes jamming it often, many copies are pretty rinked. Communications Network is a curious artifact though I wouldn't call it a particularly fantastic album. Also, the America is a must-own.
