No wonder it is worn out - obviously used for dance practice ! You never find such things on Braxton's cover, I presume. Quote

HutchFan Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Frank Foster & Frank Wess - Two for the Blues (Pablo) with Kenny Barron, Rufus Reid, and Marvin "Smitty" Smith IMO, the two Franks are right up there with the legendary two-tenor duos: Lockjaw & JG, Stitt & Ammons, Cohn & Zoot.    15 hours ago, paul secor said: I'm not a Hal Galper fan, but Lee Konitz does some very good blowing on this one. Lee does sound good on that one. He's such a consistent musician, especially in a duo context. I like Galper's playing too though.   Edited January 19, 2019 by HutchFan Quote

HutchFan Posted January 19, 2019 Report Posted January 19, 2019 Max Roach - Chattahoochee Red (Columbia, 1981) with Odean Pope, Cecil Bridgewater, and Calvin Hill Vital music from a killer band. I think I'm repeating myself, but ... it's so strange that this LP has never been reissued. Even if Sony/Legacy sleeps on it, it seems like somebody should have/would have licensed it by now. ... Wounded Bird? BGO? Where are you guys? For heaven's sake, it's Max Roach!!!  Quote

I'd rather deal with Max's heirs than some giant multi-national corporation. ... Then again, I know NOTHING about the business side of things.  Anyhow, I enjoyed that Max LP so much that I've queued up another by the same quartet: Max Roach - Pictures in a Frame (Soul Note, 1979) More great music!    Quote

And somebody has to want to license it to begin with. I don't know how many "friends in the record business" that Max left behind, other than Bruce Lundvall? And I'm not 100% sure about the ownership thing. 98%, probably, but that's not 100% Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019   A friend who is a real estate agent in Atlanta called me this afternoon; he had just listed a house. It was empty except for some stuff in the basement that the family was going to take to Goodwill. Among the "junk" was two boxes of records. My friend noticed a good bit of jazz, along with R & B and blues - would I like to take a look before they went out for donation? Well, yes. I came home with about thirty records, although because of the widely varying condition I probably won't keep them all. The first three: Cecil Taylor - Stereo Drive (United Artists stereo). About VG: quite listenable, but with consistent low-level hiss. Ronnie Scott/Tubby Hayes - The Couriers of Jazz! (Carlton mono). Solid VG+, and excellent music I had never heard. Lightnin' Hopkins - Lightinin' Strikes (Verve Folkways stereo). Strong VG, almost VG+. A nice 1965 date recorded in LA, with Jimmy Bond on bass and the great Earl Palmer on drums. Quote

jeffcrom Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Â The next round of my real estate freebies: Cannonball Adderley - Why Am I Treated So Bad (Capitol mono). I chose this next because it appears to be in the best condition of all the records I picked up today - VG+ approaching NM. But I dislike the distant recording quality, and Cannonball in this period has always been somewhat disappointing to me, considering what an interesting band he had. Aretha Franklin - Soul '69 (Atlantic stereo). VG+, and the music is excellent - no surprise there. I wasn't familiar with the album before now - it's more jazz/blues oriented than most of Aretha's Atlantic output. Quote
