What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Kevin Bresnahan]

All of this Bossa Nova talk with the passing of Astrud got me to pull this one off the shelf...

Coleman Hawkins - Desafinado: Bossa Nova & Jazz Samba (Impulse!). My copy is a 1972 pressing from ABC but still used RVG's stampers. This isn't my favorite Bossa Nova record by any stretch, but it is Hawkins.

I really like that quartet Hawkins had at this time. I have this on SACD. I like it!

Makoto Terashita Trio - Ihatov (Tokyo Sound City). I have no recollection of when I bought this. Decent enough trio record. I seem to remember it being on clearance at one of the on-line stores like Acoustic Sounds so I decided to give it a shot.

Now spinning on the turntable: Joe Temperley & Jimmy Knepper - Just Friends (Hep Records). Derek Smith on piano, Michael Moore on bass & Billy Hart on drums. Billy Hart playing drums on a swing-styled LP seems weird to me but what do I know?

Bob Hodes & the Red Onion Jazz Band

lunch break find, an original RIverside 10in LP in excellent condition for 3Euro... guess it helps that it's dixieland and that even the biggest name in the group, Joe Muranyi, is not that big...

Dexter Gordon - One Flight Up (Blue Note/Cisco). This 2007 LP sounds very nice to my ears so I have no reason to update it with the latest Kevin Gray cut for Blue Note. I like the music on this but the echo plate RVG added is an audio minus, not a plus. I've always wished there was a dry master laying around in some lost tape box so that I could hear it.

Chico Hamilton - Peregrinations [Blue Note, 1975]

finally tracked down a nice copy of this great album. Lovely and sunny in London today and this album is the perfect soundtrack, it's so well put together.

Johnny Hodges - The Complete Johnny Hodges Sessions 1951-1955 (Mosaic). Spinning LP6, which contains the session that produced "Creamy" (Norgran/Verve). Great stuff. I don't play this set enough.

Are these the same Red Onions who were on the Shel Silverstein record?

I think Jabali is on so many records because he can play in ANY style.  🙂

Yes, i really didn't know what I was buying but did read up on them yesterday evening ... A very long lived band even though Robin "Bob" Hodes was its leader only for a relatively short time...

From the same stack of 10in albums, mine has a different cover that may or may not be selfmade... A 1957 live recording from Poland, the first concert by west German Jazz bands since the war... I got this for the band on the b side which has a Frontline if Emil and Albert Mangelsdorff as well as Joki Freund ... Or so i thought... Turned out that for this part of the concert Emil switched to clarinet, Joki to piano and Albert to rhythm guitar for three tracks a la Benny Goodman...

Your description sounds like one that I have as well: MUZA L0159 feat. the Emil Mangelsdorff Swingtett on the B side playing "I Got Rhythm", "Blue Room" and "After You've Gone". My copy has a generic Polskie Nagrania Cover, as do several other 10" LPs from the Sopot (Zoppot) 1956, 57 and 58 festivals that I have. So this seems to have been common practice.
Emil Mangelsdorff playing ina  style reminiscent of the Benny Goodman small groups wasn't uncommon (or to put it another way - it was something to expect ). See his "Swinging Oil Drops" LP from 1966 on CBS (later reissued on L+R).
The cover you show above seems familiar. I may have seen it before. This must be the "export" sleeve. Contrary to the generic Polish label sleeves.

[Niko]

this is my copy, don't know what the yellow vs blue labels mean... the sleeve seems at least partly selfmade, i.e., the red insert in the middle looks rather selfmade... but the words Zopot, Muza, Live as well as the album's catalogue number seem to be printed  at least - so the design seems generic (even though I haven't seen it elsewhere) but the sleeve itself isn't... a previous owner wrote his name and "1959" on the sleeve, suggesting an early issue...
