Just finished - Red Garland - Red Alert (Galaxy). Noisy pressing. It looks spotless but plays with quite a bit of low-level crackle in spots. It probably needs a good cleaning but I never did buy one of those things.

Now playing: Booker Ervin - Down In The Dumps (Savoy). I found a RVG cut from the late 70s. Record looks unplayed.

Never seen that sleeve, much better than the Storyville issue.  Great album, I love Shepp shouting the time change on Trio during his solo. (Five Five!). Moses dominates on drums. Great drummer who doesn’t have a big discography to his name.

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, Trio is worth the price of admission alone. 

the Storyville reissue uses the International Polydor cover. This is the original sleeve art, which first appeared on a heavy folkways-style sleeve and then was issued in a thin flipback by Sonet.

Sorry for the confusion -- my wording was garbled. What Chuck posted -- the "this" I was referring to -- is the original sleeve art; the Polydor/Storyville art was used starting in the late 1960s.

Got it when I reread, thanks, so I deleted my message. I know I am on the vinyl thread ( and have vol 2 on vinyl) but the Storyville 2CD reissue is recommended, excellent quality.

Great to read that someone gives some love to Moses. Indeed a great drummer who had an unhappy live since I had heard that he had been stabbed which affected his kidneys and he was on dialysis and died very young of kidney failure. 

I love all stuff he played, I think the first stuff I heard was some Dolphy with Woody Shaw from the early 60´s, and some Blue Note recordings, maybe with Andrew Hill. And he was Bud Powell´s last drummer ! His drumming on the sets that survived recorded from Birdland is a highlight, he together with John Ore where a perfect rhtythm section. And I like drummers who really play and stretch out, not just doin´ brushes in a trio context. Play it LOUD !!!! YEAH !

Moses was great indeed. As Al Fielder said to me, "man, there must be something in the water up there in Pittsburgh!"
