What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Is there a way of searching for the posts where this has been said in the past? I'm not the only one to have found this album disappointing. We have four masters who have appeared on albums that draw me back time and again, but somehow this one doesn't catch fire. Anyone out there agree - or rather, who was it who said this last time?

There is a dedicated "Hampton Hawes" thread started by forum member "catesta" on March 9th, 2004 - but all mentions of "For Real" are positive .... nevertheless its ok to have different valuations .... for what it's worth, I did have different expectations from Harold Land's "The Fox" (probably based in Dupree Bolton's fantastic playing on "Katanga") but over the time learned to appreciate the platter for what it is ....

I forget the name of the ballad (and of the clarinettist) on that LP, but it is a beautiful-sounding thing

You may be talking about "Fantastic, That's You", a quartet piece with Hines, Jimmy Hamilton, Aaron Bell, and Elvin Jones.

Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster

While I trust and hope it was the right decision for her personally, I for one am really sorry that Esther Satterfield decided not to pursue her musical career longer than she did.  She's probably best known for her singing with Chuck Mangione's band (particularly "Land of Make Believe").  Mangione produced this, her first album, and some associates of his are heard here:  Gerry Niewood, Don Potter, and his brother Gap.  The material ranges from the title track to "For Once In My Life' to "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to a Miriam Makeba song to this soulful (and perhaps prophetically titled) song:

Among the cast of actors playing various bit parts in this 1972 play was Susan Sarandon.

Wow .. this ...

I wouldn't have thought I'd see you go on a rockabilly binge. And then with such a connoisseur disc.

Hats off to your eclectic tastes.

(FWIW, if I am in the mood for Charlie, I pull out this one below - have seen the ZuZazz LP countless times in the record stall bins back in the day and thinking about it now don't even know why I passed it up - maybe because of duplicate alternates?)

I love Charlie Feathers' music!  I used to have a copy of Jungle Fever, but it went in the midst of cutting back my collection. I'm sure that I have everything on it among the Feathers LPs and CDs I still have.
