What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[HutchFan]

My recent Brazilian jazz bender continues with:

Laurindo Almeida - Chamber Jazz (Concord, 1979)
with Bob Magnusson and Jeff Hamilton

I almost included this LP in my 70s jazz survey.  Excellent music.

How's this? I'm sure it's great but I withheld from buying it and am pretty sure I'll regret that...

I'm really enjoying it. I'm no way near the Harper afficionado that some of our fellow board members are but to my ears this is a storming set, good some quality and production values. Can't believe anyone who likes Harper would be disappointed.

Some may baulk at the short playing time 20:16 and 15:29. The notes mention that the set was completed by a 20' 'Priestess' so I do wonder why they went for the shorter 'Croquet Ballet' for side 2.

[clifford_thornton]

perhaps issues with the tape on Priestess? who knows, anybody's guess. Or there'll be a part two for RSD 2022?

now:

Annette Peacock & Paul Bley -- Dual Unity -- (Freedom UK orig)

packed most of my records for an impending move, but some are still kicking around.

Now spinning:

Roscoe Mitchell gave me a copy back in the late '70s.

My two Impulse! favorites by Sanders

My favourites switch nearly every time I listen to any of his Impulses - such a strong run. I have a big soft spot for 'Live At The East' and that along with 'Karma' are probbaly my two favourites, today 

'Tauhid' is cued up next. 

Since the Floating Points album, which I love, I've been on a mission to plug the gaps in my Pharoah Impulse leader-date vinyl collection. Complete now.

[mjazzg]

Pharoah Sanders - Tauhid [Impulse 1968, reissue]

[clifford_thornton]

all my Pharoah is in moving boxes. Would love to pull one out right now.

[Rabshakeh]

I find my reissue LP copy of Tauhid is very muddy when compared to the digital or CD versions. Sonny Sharrock is submerged complely. How does the original compare?

[mjazzg]

It sounded good earlier, will listen again over the next day or two

 

edit to add: listening again now and I don't really detect muddiness.  Sharrock isn't high in the ensemble mix at times and that mix is quite dense. Burrell's the biggest loser in the mix as I'm hearing it.
