What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[JSngry]

Having seen Sinatra live in Vegas (Caesar's) and in better voice than here, I don't really need the Sands record.

I think it is all up on YouTube.

When I returned it to the shelf I ran across this and will play it next.

[clifford_thornton]

now the Reid I do have. Excellent.

Ordered the Raushiek for a cheap price online, liked the clips I listened to.

[mjazzg]

I checked that Raushiek too, interesting. Sadly not so cheap to here

[clifford_thornton]

yeah, overseas cheapies are best ordered in bulk.

The first and for me best new line-up release feat guitar and electric bass (Chuck Rainey !!) .... nevertheless the magic of the "Jazz Crusaders" era (f.i like Buster Williams could play funky grooves on acoustic bass) is somehow gone ....

They definitely evolved into something different. 

It's hard for me to hear this music objectively because I grew up listening to The Crusaders (Mk II) as a kid.  My dad had several of their albums and played them often.  OTOH, I only discovered the Jazz Crusaders in adulthood.

One of my favorite Crusaders LPs:

Live in concert.  Not at all a studio artifact.

Your guess is as good as mine.  The image seems to have no relationship to the title.

The pink cover & pouring liquid always makes me think of Pepto Bismol -- but I doubt that was their intention!  😜

Next up:

Art Pepper Quartet - APQ: The Maiden Voyage Sessions, Vol. 3 (Galaxy, rec. 1981)
with George Cables, David Williams, and Carl Burnett

❤️  This third volume from the Maiden Voyage, released posthumously in '84, really scratches my itch.  I have & enjoy all three LPs from the gig -- Pepper & his band were really cooking -- but the third gets spun the most.

I enjoyed those records so much I broke down and bought the 7 cd set in February - though I haven't made it through them all yet
