Listening to the second LP from this 1970s 2-fer, originally released as All Mornin' Long. 

The original LP is one of my favorite covers:

There's just a RIGHTNESS about Red Garland's playing that always gets me. 

 

😁 👍

 

 

Now playing

Kirsten Edkins - Shapes & Sound (Cohearent). I picked this up mainly after listening to a few sound samples. It's OK but I'm not sure about all the hype it got just because it was Kevin Gray's new label.

I still scratch my head on that title & cover.

Now spinning, prompted by this thread:

Sal Mosca - For You (Choice, 1979)

 

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Doug Watkins - Watkins At Large (Transition/King). Nice Japanese pressing of this bluesy date. Phil T McNasty's Blues is one of my favorite jazzy blues tunes.

I had an original of that - injection molded styrene plastic pressings with glued on labels.

Joe Farrell - Penny Arcade (CTI). This sounds like 1974 with the required whacka-whacka guitar/drums. Not my favorite style of jazz for sure, but after Herbie struck gold with "Head Hunters", it was inevitable that others would try to copy that success.

I have a copy if that King pressing too - supplied by Mr Tanno and graded by him as 'N--', looks immaculate. I wouldn't be surprised if this one is reissued in the Tone Poet series. More than happy with the King.

I saw a styrene copy in a shop in London once - knackered with only one label and that was hanging off. They wanted a small fortune for it too.

Oh yeah.  Outstanding LP!  

 

 

Great thing, and I think the first thing is a slo blues or it is on some of those Garland Prestige things with Trane and Byrd on it, anyway. 

But I have learned a lot from Garland about piano voicings. He was a master in that. And actually, he was the first jazz pianist I ever heard in my live, on my first LP (Miles Davis "Steamin´"  when I was maybe 13 or so, I knew all his solos on that LP, was very impressed by those chords on the two ballads, yeah !

There exists a complete series from Newport 1957 on Verve I have. Includes also some traditional sounds.

I don't mind the cover but the title is a bit odd, considering...

Swinging with Zoot Sims, Prestige 10”.

Just friends, Bill Perkins, Art Pepper & Richie Kamuca, Pacific Jazz. A Toshiba reissue but such a great recording, puts similar period Blue Note recordings in the shade.

Red Garland - Strike Up The Band (Galaxy). Red with a pretty good band: George Coleman, Julian Priester, Ron Carter & Ben Riley.

If you find this in a cheapie bin, give it a try. About the only negative is the lousy bass recording quality, which you'll get with most recordings from 1979.

Oh, those Garland albums on Galaxy came out when I was playin already , so maybe I didn´t have the time anymore to buy many records or might have thought I already have one or two 50´s Garland LPs, whatever. 

But now I regret I didn´t buy them. Sounds like a dream team with that line up, all of them favourites of mine. 
In that year 1979 I had seen Ron Carter with Ben Riley and Kenny Barron !!!! 

The "lousy" bass recording sound you describe, may have been just Ron´s style, he was THE acoustic bass player of the 70´s and that bass sound was the sound a bass had . Acustic purists might have found it ugly and would prefer let´s say Ray Brown, but that was the times and I must admit I still like it on those 70´s records. 
There were many Galaxy albums that would have interested me. I think it was also some Sadao Watanabe with Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, and so on....., the only Galaxy I have is "Return of the Griffin".

I'm pretty sure that most jazz recordings with an acoustic bass that were recorded in the late 70s-mid 80's used pickup with a direct patch to the soundboard instead of a microphone. This gives the bass a twangy sound that just doesn't sound right.

oh this is very interesting and might be for more discussion on the topic I have opened about Ron Carter in the Artists category.
