Your post has prompted me to order a copy of this, long overdue. Before it disappears again off the face of the Earth..

The Schwindt is good. The Meinert that he reissued is great. Bertil Strandberg "Cirrus" coming down the pike soon enough.

Now spinning:

Hank Mobley - Hank - (Blue Note 1560, Toshiba Japanese pressing)

The Meinert sounds (to my ears) more derivative - none the worse for that but it has a heavy and obvious Trane-like sound. Both are exemplary reissues. Clearly a label to watch 

 

NP, first spin of......

Julius Hemphill --- Roi Boye & The Gotham Minstrels-----( Sackville )

Lou Bennett et son Orchestre --------Enfin !--------( RCA France)

French edition of this lively album recorded in Paris in 1963. Rene Thomas is on guitar. Curiously Jane (sp) is credited to Arnett Coleman (sp) . I've not previously come across that spelling of Coleman's first name.

It is a bit derivative, at least at first, but like many things it doles out its charms and originality over time.

Red Richards and Friends, In a Mellow Tone (West 54); the friends being Norris Turney and Buck Clayton, (at least the friends in the front line). Sealed copy  just arrived in the mail, (and no warp from being sealed for 35 years or so).

Benny Carter: Jazz All Star Orchestra Live in Japan '79 (Paddlewheel)

An all-star band recorded live at a concert in Japan isn't usually my thing, but this one has a number of beautiful short solos that make it well worth listening to.

Bill Evans "portrait in jazz" (riverside, USA mono) bought this today from a friend who recently found the first "small label" issue so sold me his second (circa 1962?) mono issue for a good price.  Interesting to see the original and second issue side by side.  Besides the small DG label on the first issue there is also the clearer photographs on both the front and rear.  Anyway this second issue is super pristine and I actually have never owned this session before.

Blue Mitchell "out of the blue" (riverside, mono small label DG USA). Great album...a rare discogs bargain from a few months ago.
