Mike Westbrook - Celebration - (Deram, UK stereo original)

one of a few nice records I was glad to pick up at this weekend's WFMU record fair for a not-too-exhorbitant price.

 Nice - one of his best.

[clifford_thornton]

agreed - for whatever reason I'd only ever had it on CD, though most of the other Westbrooks I've found on LP over the years. Since my CDs are mostly in storage I can actually listen to this copy!

Hiho Keitaro, Maeda Norio, Yamaya Kiyoshi -- Modern Jazz Composer's Corner -- (Toshiba, JP stereo orig)

Interesting compilation of postwar Japanese jazz released on Toshiba (dark red vinyl) in 1959. Some of it one could imagine on a Savoy or Debut side, though this is a bit straighter. For an early Japanese pressing the sound is quite good.

Roswell Rudd: Everywhere

I've head this record for 50 years and I heard things listening to it today that I hadn't heard before. That's either a sign of classic music or some poor listening on my part in the past.

It's a classic. One of the first avant-garde jazz records I bought, and still one of the best I've heard.

Lee Morgan: Search for the New Land

[sgcim]

I found a copy of Winners Circle for $3 at Planet 9 in Richmond VA. It has some great playing by Trane, Donald Byrd, Rolf Kuhn, Kenny Burrell, Eddie Costa, Oscar Pettiford,, Philly Jo, Frank Rehak and Gene Quill.

Supposedly, a trio recording of 'Taking a Chance on Love' featuring Costa, Pettiford and one of the two drummers on the session, Ed Thigpen or Philly Jo, came out of this session.

It's available on Pettiford's "Discoveries", but that's a hard one to find.

I also picked up Philadelphia legend's Joe Sgro LP, "A Guitar and a Girl", which features a picture of a nude woman with a classical guitar covering her privates on the cover.

She is looking straight at me, promising me many pleasures of the flesh, yet they have failed to materialize yet...

Sgro, a devout Jehovah's Witness, plays with only vibes, bass and drums. He plays a few standards, and then some of his semi-classical arrangements of things he calls 'Rachmaninoff and You', Tchaikovsky After Hours', Ravel After Hours, Tcaikovsky Sits In, and The Lady Likes Chopin.

He plays solely in what guitarists call 'chord melody' style without any single string improvisation, with the vibes doubling the melody in octaves; a variant of the 'Shearing Style', as if to say, "We don't need no steenking piano".

On Harlem Nocturne, the last number, he finally lets loose with some single string improvisation, and sound quite capable.

Another $3 special.
