jeffcrom Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Martial Solal - Himself (PDU) Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Jazz of the Connecticut Traditional Jazz Club 4 (CTJC). Every year the CTJC put out an album with highlights from their concerts. I have a few, and particularly like this one, because the club somehow got the rights to issue two outtakes from the great New Orleans saxophonist Capt. John Handy's second RCA album. Those two tracks, with Kid Sheik and Louis Nelson, are the highlights, but I also like the concert excerpts from the Louis Nelson / Ernie Cagnolatti band, composed of half New Orleans guys and half New Englanders.

sidewinder Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Gearbox 2LP set. Sleeve art and design worthy of vintage prog rock ! Edited February 27, 2018 by sidewinder Quote

sidewinder Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 Personally, I really like it - and I’m no prog fan. Binker Golding also did the Lord of the Ringish inner sleeve graphics with their Middle Earthish maps. What the heck - it’s fun and makes a change from some of the pomposity one sees on some sleeves. These guys are a breath of fresh air in person and this release is reflective of that. Quote
mjazzg Posted February 27, 2018 Report Posted February 27, 2018 well at least it sent me back to this one nice cover Quote
jeffcrom Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 American Folk Blues Festival (Decca stereo). I couldn't resist this mint copy of the US issue of the very first LP documenting this series (from 1962) when I saw it in a suburban Atlanta record store today. Quote

Clunky Posted February 28, 2018 Report Posted February 28, 2018 Lou Levy---------The kid's got ears--------(Jazzizz Records) very fine Ines trio from the master with Shelly Manne and John Heard. Undeserving to be so obscure. Great record. Levy always seems fresh and vital. Like my favourite Martial Solal I've never come across a release that was less than interesting. Quote

mjazzg Posted March 1, 2018 Report Posted March 1, 2018 Marion Brown's comment "You could use this record to heat up the apartment on those cold winter days" seems apt as the UK grinds to a halt with snow and cold temperatures that many other countries wouldn't bat an eyelid at Quote
