What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Gheorghe]

Oh what great records I have heard last days: 

1) The Lee Konitz Nonet (I don´t have much Konitz, I think I have 2 albums co-led with Miles, and one with Tristano) is typical fine acoustic jazz from the late 70´s , partially using electric keyboard. Sy Johnson´s arrangements are great ! 
I always have the impression that Konitz had a vibratoless sound, else than Jackie McLean but also a bit sharp, maybe Konitz´ sound is a white sound, and Jackie McLean of course a black sound.

2) Tyner McLean is just one of those ideal records with favourites of mine. They all sound so great, and besides Ron Carter you have Marcus Miller on some tracks, and that´s also very fine ! 

3) Maybe this was one of my favourite editions of the Jazz Messengers with Donald Harrison and Terence Blanchard. I think Donald Harrison should have been the next thing after Jackie McLean, he is great. And I love those drum intros Blakey plays here ! Anyway, the drums is my favourite instrument to look at and listen to.....

While watching Bama vs. Tennessee (with the TV sound muted):

I don´t have much with Joe Farrell, I saw him once in 1983 but I was a bit disappointed because it was scheduled to be Chet Bakers gig with Joe Farrell, and Chet didn´t appear, it was told he was locked in a hotel room in Roma since he had lost the key or some stupid story like there was so many. 

But I couldn´t watch nothin with such a personnel (Chick, Buster, Elvin) !!!!! 
In general if I listen to a record, I close my eyes.

Id say every single recording this group has made is essential but this one might be my favorite.

The Stinson thread made me want to listen to him again. I think his solo on My Joy is a perfect example of what he was capable of.

I still can't figure out why Blue Note re-did this 2005 cover art for the Tone Poet LP release. This cover was first used on the 2005 RVG CD and that cover art was more in line with the title. This is oblique:

Intentionally blurred so it is oblique. Re-doing it in focus totally ruins the point of the initial cover design.

Disc 1 of a three record set. 

[JSngry]

Blurred and oblique are not synonyms.

Ask Google.

Sounds interesting. 

I have some certain pre-bop favourites, one of them is Lester, the other might be Roy Eldrigde and from piano, of course Art Tatum.....

From what period is the Savoy Ballroom ? It´s live, isn´t it ? 
I have only one live Lester that is from the Roost I think......
