Peter Cusack, Guus Janssen, Evan Parker, Terry Day et al. - Groups in Front of People 2 - (Bead, UK)

Aha, more weirdness ?

Good stuff. Fine label.

[clifford_thornton]

Yes, very weird and I prefer this to the first volume. Weird is not a bad word.

Frank Strazzeri-----View from within-----(Creative World) reissue of Revelation LP

A tougher sound than one might expect from Candoli/Rosolino etc. 

[Royal Oak]

I'm sure it wasn't intentional. There was a surprising innocence in those days about what now would be suggestive names. Remember this was when Uranus was pronounced with the stress on the second syllable. 

From 1963. I like this album, FWIW 

[clifford_thornton]

Depends where the accent falls on "gay."

Nice one, Richard.  I remember a book on my student reading list called The Gay Couple in Restoration Literature and everybody in it was straight!

Herb and Lorraine Geller: The Gellers (Emarcy Japan)

[Clunky]

 

Various artists -------Loaded--------(London/Savoy) UK

 

Vido Musso gets plenty of space here. The tracks have an interesting swing to bop feel but Musso is really too vulgar a player to make it truly enjoyable. Boots Mussulli or Lem Davis would be more interesting but get much less space. Denzil Best is the drummer on most of the tracks. So interesting but nothing incredible on these less well know mid forties titles.

Lucky Thompson----------- plays Jerome Kern -----(Moodsville) mono

I never did understand why they messed with the playing order of this LP when they reissued it on CD as "Happy Days".

Solo Monk

Wonderful music with some of Martin Williams' finest writing in the liner notes.

[Clunky]

Listened to a fair amount of Monk today the Black Lion sessions and now .....

Monk/Coltrane ----at Carnegie Hall -----(Mosaic/Thelonious Records)

Cedar Walton 'Eastern Rebellion 2' (Timeless)

Just re-levelled my deck. It was sounding a bit off and I was a bit worried that I might have needed a new cartridge (10 years +). I needn't have worried...

Howard McGhee -------Nobody knows you when you're down and out.....-------(UA) 

two quartet sessions one with organ the other piano. The whole thing has an appropriately melancholy air . Maggie's tone is suitably poignant. It's clearly one off date for all concerned but Howard sounds more alert than other sessions of this vintage . (Unlike some other UA vinyl no 'ear' in the dead wax)

Introducing Carl Perkins (Dootone/Boplicity)

Strange that no credits are given to Leroy Vinnegar and Lawrence Marable on either the cover or the liner notes, dated 1984.

Don Friedman-------Metamorphosis-----------(Prestige) mono edition bought sealed a few years ago. 

 

A really top drawer release. The only thing not to like is  Prestige's less than perfect pressing.

I guess Boplicity/Ace didn't feel it was necessary.
