What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Michael]

Going through a pile of LPS I purchased at an estate sale probably last spring,  Lots of Duke Ellington, Ella and Satchmo were in the pile I got to first that day but probably listened to just some of the Duke stuff since then   Decided to correct that today so its Louis and Ella the rest of the day.  Currently spinning side two of a mono  6 eye of Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five Vol 1

The Tubby Hayes Orchestra - Tubbs' Tours [Fontana]

from 'The Fontana Albums' box set. I don't have an original to make a comparison but the sound on this is just fabulous.

Like it very much  and have it as most stuff of the Contemporary label which is  my favorite label for the west coast style as is Pacific Jazz

Pat Martino ‘Joyous Lake’ (Warners). Really like this - one of today’s nice finds.

Another nice find.

Believe it or not, I’ve still to crack my vinyl box open and do the comparison. The CDs are too good !

[sidewinder]

I’m a fan of this one by Herbie with Kimiko - it also sounds better than the CD version in the Herbie box.

The only one of her LPs I have is with Mal Waldron on Japanese Victor, but I like it quite a bit.

Never even heard of that one. On my list !

Impressed with this ‘Butterfly’ reissue. On BeWithRecords - never even heard of them but apparently they are from these islands.

Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody

This album always reminds me of West Virginia because its were I lived when I first heard it and of course the mountains on the cover. My young mind thought they we're the only other minorities in West Virginia and I felt a connection that they were singing to my family. Ahhhh to be young and naive.

No as far as I know as new member. Have added some David Stone Martin covers ----> cover art.

I do remember that Pacific Jazz once had some domestic artists from the west coast on their LP covers in a short lived series.

As far as the big names in the art world go, the only others, apart from De Stael, I can think of who refer specifically to jazz are Stuart Davis:

and of course Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie

and the unfinished Victory Boogie Woogie:

Inspired by this thread, original mono pressing. Can't imagine a better sounding issue.

BTW I paid a fair amount of $$$ to one of these big sellers down in LA for this one, never regret. You can't go wrong with a DuNann mono pressing.

I have an original Contemporary stereo and the Vogue mono. That will do me fine ! No interest in getting hold of the new Masserati Edition or the Craft Slices box.

I agree, I am too old to loose my time looking for the best sounding of every records out there.
