First spin this sunday morning 

 

Frederick Roach ----All that's good-------(Blue Note) NYC stereo deep groove

 

 

about 6 six years ago picked this and Mo Greens please in mint condition. Both were immaculate NYC stereo copies with ear, etc. Covers really looked split new. The voices on this album work pretty well , giving a real gospel edge to the playing. Roach seems at his most adventurous. I'm no musician but I quite like Roach's ambition in his playing on his own BN dates. He's less impressive and sounds more 'rinky dink' on Ike Quebec's late BNs.

Next a NYC stereo which is in more obviously used condition but still sounds very nice

 

Horace Silver-----The Tokyo Blues-----(BN NYC stereo ear)

Dropped $1400 Canadian today at my retired friend's house; continuing my dig through his collection.  That got me 21 albums but it included J.R.Monterose on Lexington Blue Note, a black label "giant steps", and many more New Jazz, Riverside, and Blue Notes all in excellent condition.

First spins from the pile tonight are:

Julius Wechter 4tet "linear sketches" (jazz west, DG USA)

Bennie Green "soul stirrin" (Blue Note, 47w63rd no "r" mono)

Tubby Hayes "return visit" (Fontana, UK)

Art Blakey jazz messengers "live at cafe Bohemia vol.1" (blue note, Lexington USA)

Woody Herman Sextet--------s/t-----------(WRC) UK budget edition  of Roulette session (At the Roundtable)

 

Really good all-star line up. Nat Adderley, Charlie Byrd, Eddie Costa (piano and vibes) Jimmy Campbell (drums). Not your average Herman session.

Don't get me wrong it's not some amazing gem but it is pretty nice. Poor cover, although the Roulette original is odd to say the least

for completeness here's the Roulette

David Toop/Paul Burwell - Wounds - (Quartz, UK)

nutty recent grab

Nice one.  Have not played my copy in around 15 years.  Bought it around the same time that I got "whirled music" and the Alterations album on Bead.  All sort of in the same bag if memory serves.  The David Lee album is a good score!!

Posted

yeah, they are all pretty similar and enjoyable in their own weird way. Got Whirled Music, the Alterations on Bead, Choloagogues and a few others of this persuasion.

The Lee is a nice palette-cleanser after all that weirdness!

Now:
Oliver Lake - Passing Thru - (Africa Pub., FR orig?)
