What vinyl are you spinning right now??

Now spinning - One of the few LPs that is being reissued by Blue Note that I never bought before (CD or LP) - Ruben Wilson's "Love Bug". Typical funk record of the time. Not a bad thing, but it is what I expected it to be and is the reason I never bought it before. I find these dates to have a bit of sameness to them.

You could say it's pretty similar to this album, which also features Leo/Idris & Lee Morgan in the same horns/organ/guitar/drums format with hits of the day.  But it's no more samey to me than any number of hard bop dates with standards and tunes borrowed from bird 'n Diz.  Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, in either case.  And while I own and enjoy both albums, I think they both did better (and worse) elsewhere.

Only seen The Sea&Cake once but that was great

 

I think The Sea & Cake are better/more consistent live when it comes to that crew (5ive Style weren't around long enough). Seen them quite a few times as well. But Tortoise will always hold a special place... first few times I saw them knocked my socks clean off.

I remember gazing at that album with its striking image in a shop window in Chorlton, Manchester in 1959 when I was 19-year-old student. It was probably brand new. American music took a year or two to reach the UK in those days.

Music must have been a lot harder to obtain those days. Do you still own all the records you bought back then Bill?

Of course, there was far less available in those days, but it didn't matter as records were very expensive. An LP cost about a third of a student's weekly income! A typical collection might have a dozen items in it, so of course, you got to know every note! That's why you would put up with bad radio reception to hear other jazz from the Voice of America or American Forces Network in Europe. (The BBC didn't like jazz and at one time had bans on both boogie woogie and bebop!)

No, I no longer own the records I bought back then. Keeping pace with the times in the last decade I've been using streaming. So my jazz listening career stretches from 78s to Spotify!

Too early for me. I saw the Carla band 20 years later - with Lew Soloff, Gary Valente and Andy Sheppard.

Same here. Saw them a few times. Also around that timeframe, the duet tour of Carla Bley and Steve Swallow.

Saw the band around 1978 and Phillip Wilson was the drummer.
