What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[sidewinder]

An original would be Liberty blue/white labels.

I recently reacquired a record that I have yet to keep after playing it a few times. I've probably owned it 3 or 4 times by now but this is the first time I've had it on vinyl. Weirdly, I'm enjoying it more now than I ever have in the past. It's not great but it's not as bad as I seem to remember it. I still don't like when Washington hits one of those falsetto notes and I'm not a huge fan of the cymbal work by Chambers.

Tyrone Washington - Natural Essence (Blue Note). I think this is an original pressing.

I must admit I don´t have this. Of course I have seen the cover many many times, and though I never heard how Tyrone Washington plays the participation of greats like Woody Shaw, "Spee", and a fantastic rhythm section , all of them among my favourites makes me want to listen to it.

Don´t know how the cymbal work by Chambers sounds here, but on all other records I have with him and I have many, that´s exactly what I love.

About "those falsetto notes"...... well...... have you read Horace Silver´s autobiography "Get to the Gritty Nitty" , Horace is such a kind person and always speaks in a very kind manner about all fellow musicians, but he has no kind words for Tyrone Washington and that his trips into avantgarde did not fit into the bands conception.

Now I really might give this album a chance, since....though my first love is be- and hardbop, I have listened to and admired a lot of 60´s avantgarde too, love Pharoah Sanders, Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp, so maybe I wouldn´t be too surprised if I´d hear some falsetto screams if it makes sense to me.....

Cossi Anatz - Jazz Afro-Occitan [Digger's Digest], 2017 reissue

I'd like to hear this in a contemporary rendition, maybe. This seems a little forced, but maybe that's me and/or the time/place?

The Naxos series is worth hearing.

 

[JSngry]

with 30 or so years in between, that sounds interesting, thanks for the pointer. The writing on this Phillips date sounds fine, but the playing doesn't sound "lived in"

Globe Unity Orchestra and Guests - Pearls [FMP]

hell of a band on this one

[HutchFan]

The Hampton Hawes Trio - The Séance (Contemporary / OJC)
with Red Mitchell & Donald Bailey

Brilliant. About as good as it gets piano-trio-wise, IMO.

 

[HutchFan]

Spinning this relatively-new-to-me LP again:

John Coates, Jr. - After the Before (Omnisound, 1978)

Coates was jazz's georgic poet.

Lester Young ‘Pres’ (Esquire). Mystery live lo-fi recording and no sleeve. Still, at £3 a good find.

Quick research indicates that this LP has material also put out on Ambrosia from 1952 Birdland recordings with Jesse Drakes and Wynton Kelly. Boris Rose?

This is not a copy of the Charlie Parker Records LP of the same name?

This one's a dance date, iirc, not at Birdland.

[sidewinder]

Looks like it, thanks for that. Strange - those Charlie Parkers were put out by a small label called Egmont in the UK so not sure how this one ended up on Esquire.
