What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[Teasing the Korean]

Jack Jones - Our Song (Kapp, stereo)

Arrangements by Ralph Carmichael, Bob Florence, Don Costa, and Marty Paich.

IMO, all of these albums so far are mixed bags in terms of material and, to a lesser extent, arrangements.  But they all contain gems.  

Maybe I'll write to Kapp's free catalog address and ask them if I can sequence a Jack Jones CD box set.  Let's see how long I have to wait for a response.  😺

Outstanding Rhythm Section aka Armen Donelian (p) + Gregg Maker (great still unsung bassplayer) + Malcolm Pinson (dr) ....

Donelian still plays here in upstate New York. I should probably find a time to go see him.

Jack Jones - Dear Heart (Kapp, stereo)

Arrangements by Don Costa, Jack Elliott, or Harry Betts.

I remember very well this one being heavily promoted in the record stores.  I wonder if it was his best-selling album.

No idea.  Like the others I spun yesterday, it is a mixed bag, but it is one of the better ones also.  The version of "Something's Gotta Give" on here is good.

Just wish I had an original Mercury pressing.  The AQ of my Trip reissue vinyl is pretty darn scruffy.

 

This record, on the other hand, sounds AMAZING -- both AQ-wise (and more importantly) musically:

Me too now but streaming not LP. Just looked at the band, absolutely ridiculous line-up.

And what a version of 'Troubled Waters'

Yes!  I love how Quincy elevates/brings out the GOSPEL elements that are inherent in that song.

And Valerie Simpson's singing!!!  So beautiful.

Weird that they title this compilation "Farmer's Market" and yet only include 2 of the 6 tracks from that LP.

The early days of the 24000 series sometimes saw compilation LPs. The had not yet settled on the full-album reissue concept.

I have Farmer's Market as a New Jazz LP, very nice one.

I heard Farmer´s Market the tune almost each time Farmer was in town, he lived here but most time was touring, but at least 2 times per year he played some nights at Jazzland, and so often "Farmer´s Market" was the first tune of a set.

James Newton - The Mystery School [India Navigation, USA 1980]

James Newton - Water Music [Gramavision, USA 1986]

James Newton Trio & Quartet - Binu [Circle Records, Germany 1978]

A morning of Newton as part of an exercise to see what can be weeded from my collection - none of these, that's for sure

😁 it's touch or go, this or the studio recording by the same band I think. 5 DeJohnette leader dates down to 3 is the aim but may not be achieved

Change of tack now, welcoming a new arrival
