sidewinder Posted February 16, 2019 Report Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) 19 minutes ago, porcy62 said: I have sweet memories of this and other twoofers Yeah - I kept all of them, the Milestones, Prestiges, Savoys, Blue Notes and Vogues. They are invaluable - and the sonics can be very good indeed. Surprised how decent the sound on the Milt Jackson is. Some very nice Melba Liston and Ernie Wilkins arrangements and Hank Jones tinkles away in the background to great swinging effect. Lovely ! Edited February 16, 2019 by sidewinder Quote
porcy62 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Posted February 16, 2019 And they were cheap too: a full price Lp was around 6000 liras, the twoofer 8000. So much great music: Monk, Trane, Miles, Dolphy, Rollins, Mingus and dozens of marvellous musicians. They were my real introduction to jazz. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 16, 2019 Report Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) £2.99 at special price over here mid-70s, then £3.50, £3.99... as the oil crisis took hold. Still a good deal. Forgot to mention the Atlantic ‘The Atlantic Years,,,’ and the Impulse twofers too. All great ! Edited February 16, 2019 by sidewinder Quote

Sounds right - ‘The Atlantic Years’ twofers were W. German imports here and very good pressings too. The ‘Re-Evaluations’ Impulse series put out by M Cuscuna were cheapo green label US imports, usually with cutout, which often sounded implausibly excellent. I hung on to those too.. I suspect that many of those Impulses came over here as cutout ballast in US cargo ships. Edited February 16, 2019 by sidewinder Quote

jeffcrom Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Dixieland Way Down Yonder in New Orleans (GHB). One of my favorite New Orleans trad albums of the 1950s, found at the late, lamented Magic Bus record store on Conti Street in the Quarter. One side is trombonist Jack Delaney's band, with young Pete Fountain on clarinet; the band on the flip features Lee Collins, recorded during what I believe was his last trip back to his hometown in 1953. This was originally issued on Southland as a 10" LP; when Jazzology bought Southland, they reissued a bunch of 10" LPs as 12-inchers, without any additional tracks. So there are only twelve minutes of music on each side. No matter - I still love this one. Quote

Niko Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019  Jimmy Raney - Here's that rainy day With an excellent rhythm section of Hank Jones, Pierre Michelot and Jimmy Cobb Quote
Niko Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 and two more new acquisitions, both from the stack of cheap tradjazz albums every store here still has, and I think I picked very very well... Jack Teagarden Memorial a French incarnation of the Urania album with Lucky Thompson... and Edmond Hall - Petite Fleur a British version of his UA album... Quote
HutchFan Posted February 17, 2019 Report Posted February 17, 2019 Ben Webster - At the Renaissance (Contemporary, rec. 1960) with Jimmy Rowles, Jim Hall, Red Mitchell, and Frank Butler One of Ben's best, IMO. Quote

Music Matters has a 33 rpm version too: https://www.musicmattersjazz.com/Andrew-Hill-Point-of-Departure-Blue-Note-33-rpm-p/33bst-4167.htm It sounds very good to my ears and it's cheaper than the 45 rpm version, even on the used market.
