Now:

 

All of this material is on the Art Pepper 4 CD set, "Blues For The Fisherman". According to Laurie Pepper, the track on this LP that is titled "Y.I. Blues" was called "Untitled #34" when they recorded it at Ronnie Scott's that night.

FWIW, that is a really good box of music if you don't have it & at only $22, it's a steal.

I liked those Strut Malombo Jazz reissues but I thought the one on Tapestry Works is the best

Thanks.

Bill Perkins - Journey To The East (Contemporary). I'd never heard of this one but in general, I've enjoyed Perkins' dates so I figured for $6, I'd give it a try. It looks like it's never been out on CD.

[Kevin Bresnahan]

As I listen to this Perkins LP, a few things stick out. Perkins seems to have a few instances where it sounds like he was having embouchure issues, as his held notes wafer in places. The second one is very weird... it sounds like the engineer varied the way he recorded the bass. Several tunes have the dreaded twang that's usually a sign of bass direct whereas others sound like the bass was mic'ed.

Verdict - worth the $6 for a spin every now & then but maybe not worth recording to CD.

I know we don't talk much about equipment on this thread but I want to bring up an interesting point about this Perkins LP and why I like the Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. This Perkins LP has a light but visible surface scratch across most of side 1. I could see it but couldn't feel it so I gave it a shot, the reason being that the Ortofon 2M Black stylus seems to go deeper into the grooves and surface scratches like this are not heard. I was right. This LP played perfectly. I like that this nude Shibata stylus design seems to avoid many surface scratches as if they are not there.

That’s how it should be poured Mark  check out google images and the Duvel website. The foam has much taste itself and the combination of a little of that with some of the beer is very nice. And it’s actually gone pretty soon….

A little off topic!

Over there at SHF you can read and see sooo much about beer. Its different what people  think is "beer" and the way they drink it. scroll back and forth  for good pictures too.

Andrew Hill - Andrew!!! (Blue Note). This original BN is probably the last record I bought from Stereo Jack. I do miss that place.

❤️  Outstanding.  Even better than the more well-known Black Talk, IMO.

Kell(e)y Great- Wynton Kelly. Veejay. There are some wild solos on here by Wayne Shorter particularly on Wrinkles and Mama G. 1959. Wayne is way out there.

Great record. I can remember when these Esquire issues used to be well thumbed, cheap and generally passed over in London record shops in favour of US issues or UK reissues. I can also remember a massive dump of Esquires, 10”, 78s etc in Rays, a lot sleeveless, going for peanuts.
