What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Clunky]

Sun Ra———-Of abstract dreams——-(Strut)

 

this has sat at home unopened and sealed for a month or more. I should not have delayed as it is superb. A quality small group radio session from Philly circa  1975.

This is such a good date for Big John.  I've the CD , it was my first encounter with Patton.

 

Two things are odd. Firstly why did it stay unissued for such a long time and secondly why such a dull generic title? Perhaps Patton had a hand in the latter if not the former.

I think this was one of those which were kept in the vault - the vinyl didn’t appear until the ‘Rare Groove’ series, to my knowledge.

Great music and John Zorn’s sleeve notes are full of insight.

Lexington 10” DG mono. Signed by Horace on one label !

Edmundo Ros - New Rhythms of the South - London (mono)

Thurston Knudson - Primitive Percussion:  African Jungle Drums - Reprise (mono)

[Teasing the Korean]

Chief Bey and His Royal Household - Congo Percussion aka Taboo aka Jungle Percussion

This percussion LP was a recorded for a budget label and issued three times with three different covers and under three different artist names:

I am currently spinning:

Chief Bey and His Royal Household - Congo Percussion - Pirouette (stereo)

It also came out as:

Cawanda and His Group - Taboo - Promenade (I have this in mono)

and

Sabu and his Jungle Percussionists - Jungle Percussion - Clarity (I have this one in mono too.)  This is apparently not THEE Sabu.

Luiz Bonfa - Jacaranda - Ranwood (stereo)

[Teasing the Korean]

Paul Desmond (with Jim Hall) - Bossa Antigua - RCA (70s Japan release with yellow/orange label, stereo)

I sometimes wonder if it had been Desmond/Gilberto instead of Getz/Gilberto how that album would have turned out.

[Teasing the Korean]

Elmer Bernstein - Toccata for Toy Trains - Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection Records (not the best name for a record label, IMO, stereo)

This is the score to the film by Charles and Ray Eames. 

[kh1958]

Bill Evans, Further Conversations with Myself (Verve)

The Best of Django Reinhardt, volume 1 (Capitol)

Duke Ellington, Ellington 55 (Capitol)

[Teasing the Korean]

John Dankworth - The $1 Million Collection - Fontana (stereo)

These 1960s Dankworth albums typify space-age bachelor pad music, for me at least.
