What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Mickey Tucker - The Crawl (Muse). Jazz from this era sometimes reminds me of the Johnny Carson Show's music. This LP is one of those times. This is not a bad thing, but it isn't great thing either. Junior Cook is still Junior Cook and that's a very good thing.

Ok, I gotta ask - what about a Mickey Tucker record puts you in mind of Johnny Carson music?

It's just the feel of this particular record. It sounds like something Johnny's band would be playing coming out of a break. It just has that "70's Jazz" sound. Again, not a bad thing, but it's a thing still.

I mean there's some 70's/80's Jazz that sounds like the Bob Newhart intro. There's some that sounds like the Love Boat theme. This ain't that.

Next up, Robin Kenyatta - Beggars and Stealers (Muse). Produced by my friend Michael Cuscuna.

No Jim - this does not sound like something the Carson band would play. Ha ha ha.

And now, what is turning out to be a wonderful LP so far - Clifford Jordan - The Adventurer (Muse). Tommy Flanagan, Bill Lee & Grady Tate. Killer band.

I missed this when 32Jazz put it out with their usual stellar artwork. Do I really have to buy this ugly-looking CD... sigh.

Lucid!

A good, solid, almost definitive "yeah, ok, whatever".

Yes it is! I have that on a Camden Deluxe two-fer called "Highest Mountain": https://www.discogs.com/Clifford-Jordan-Highest-Mountain/release/4046245

Oh shit, this two-fer has "The Adventurer" on it too! Excellent. I have this in digital so I don't have to buy that crappy 32Jazz CD. Thanks for getting me to check this again.

Now playing - Mickey Tucker - Mister Mysterious (Muse).

Now there's a label I'd completely forgotten.  I used to have a couple of them, an Earl Hines and a Claude Hopkins dixieland group IIRC. Very cheap to buy and they seemed to be pressed on something other than good vinyl.

brillant cover art switch!!

[JSngry]

another "not for you" DG record. wonderful music, beautiful recording, and mostly ECM-quiet vinyl. What little odd clicks there are would probably disappear with a treatment from one of those $700 Record Store Shampoo Machines, but I don't need that for this enjoyment.

[JSngry]

coulda used a light show,,,

[JSngry]

Amazingly present recording quality. Would the CD sound this good?
