I once made a Slint "tweez" t-shirt in college art class because I needed to fulfill a demand the market was not meeting haha.. Uniqlo was making them several years ago for some unknown reason. Quote

paul secor Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington: Recording Together for the First Time/The Great Reunion (Roulette/Mobile Fidelity) At first I wondered why Columbia didn't do a session like this one, but it looks like Louis left Columbia right around the time that Duke returned to the label.

clifford_thornton Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 CS Yeh - Transitions - (De Stijl) Recent, electronically-focused indie rock from a few years ago, and a striking record to boot. Yeh is probably better known as a sound artist/improviser than a songwriter, and this is his only full-length 'pop' album. Quote

clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Nice. Now: The Vaselines - Enter the Vaselines - (Sub Pop) 2009 3LP compilation of pretty much everything this Scottish post-punk duo ever recorded, much more thorough than the 1993 release (which I had on cassette way back when).

The Count Meets the Duke. In return, Columbia "loaned" Ellington to Roulette, where he recorded two LP's worth of material with Armstrong's band: Together For The First Time and The Great Reunion. (Or something to that effect.) I wish they would have recorded Louis with Ellington's band -- instead of the other way around! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy - (Earthforms, US) partial to the overdubbed solo voice piece but overall this is an excellent record with a well-applied ensemble cast (Sam Rivers, Gunter Hampel, Steve McCall, Mark Whitecage et al). Quote

Please enlighten... Yes, it did. My copy of Sart is spineless. We might need an uber nerd (preferably from Japan) to help us here... No, seriously: I think 1015 might actually have been the last one. "Sart" and "Triptykon" are the only Garbarek ECM's left in my collection. It's not that I disliked the later albums, but I felt no urgent need to keep them. 7 hours ago, clifford_thornton said: Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy - (Earthforms, US) partial to the overdubbed solo voice piece but overall this is an excellent record with a well-applied ensemble cast (Sam Rivers, Gunter Hampel, Steve McCall, Mark Whitecage et al). It's a great album by a terrific singer. I recently found an original Seeds pressing in its original cover, which, to my surprise, is slightly different from the Earthforms cover. Quote

I Staying with ECM .... how many releases were issued as first edition - like the first issue of Mal Waldron`s "Free At Last" ECM 1001 - with a Foldout Cover .... ?

Yes, I think so. There are several pressing variations of "Free At Last", but the first came in a fold out cover with a sheet music booklet inserted in one of the "flaps" inside.. Quote

I have this first issue of the Waldron. I think the "rarest" ECM I have is the pre-release version of the "just music" album in an art cover and red(!) ECM label. I think some of these early "spineless" issues are quite hard to come by, for example, I've never seen a spineless issue of "output". Corto you should at least add "Afric pepperbird" to your Garbarek collection! Quote

Corto you should at least add "Afric pepperbird" to your Garbarek collection! Don't worry, I just forgat that one. It's "Witchi-Tai-To" (not a bad album by any means, but I don't have room for it) and the later ones that had to go. The trouble with first pressings of those early ECM's is that not many people seem to know or to care. Of course, it's perfectly fine (and understandable) not to care about such details, except for sellers who ask premium prices for so-called "1st original pressings" when they're actually just offering a pre-1977 pressing (without label code). The Just Music you have is indeed very rare. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Been looking for that pre-release Just Music for many years. Alas, it hasn't appeared. The music is quite good, and the scene around Just Music and Harth in Frankfurt around that time is pretty interesting. Quote

I remember the first edition of the Penguin Jazz Guide describing the Just Music album -en passant- as a "thoroughly forgettable session" or something to that effect. Now, I've learned a lot from that book, but the British bias of the authors in covering free music was all too obvious. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah, probably true. There's a strong transitional JuMu/EMT LP by Harth and pianist Nicole Van Den Plas (among others) called 4.Januar.1970, privately released, which is also a corker. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Ivan Lasso Quintette - Snowsnake - (Dragon, US) knotty Chicago-based modern jazz outfit, I assume the LP was recorded in the late 70s. Lasso is, by all appearances, a strong tenor player and the group is quite fine. Never seen or heard of anything else under his name. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Today's mail brought: Stanley Turrentine "jubilee shouts" (blue note, king Japan) Kenny Burrell "K.B.Blues" (blue note, King Japan) Two strong unissued dates with excellent sidemen. Quote

That's funny: not so long ago, I was talked into buying this as a private press free jazz album. I was hesitant because of the electric bass, but decided to give it a try (the price was reasonable). To be honest: I didn't even get to the end of side 1. I like to think I don't have many musical prejudices, but an electric bass in a (free) jazz context... Quote
Clunky Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Harry Beckett---------Still Happy---------(My only desire) Short (28 mins) August 1974 BBC broadcast in fab sound. Some highly cheesy electric piano and electric bass shouldn't put anyone off. It's a great date and sounds wonderful. Highly recommended. Hats off to My Only Desire for licensing this from Auntie and getting it sounding so good. Pressing is perfect on medium weight vinyl - shows how it can be done. Quote

The electric bass is something of a sore thumb here but, as with Odean Pope's "Almost Like Me" and Prime Time, it's also texturally intriguing. At least to me. Quote

Not being a fan of electric bass in jazz context either, but do have a weak spot for Odean Pope`s "Almost Like Me" .... listening to Gerald Veasley`s performance on the title track reminds me always of one reviewer`s quote " ... the best album Jamaaladeen Tacuma never recorded" .....
