sidewinder Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 (edited) Mal Waldron Prestige double 'One and Two'. This has the 'Mal-1' and 'Mal-2' sessions. Great sound ! And interesting to hear Gigi Gryce on the first session, having just finished Mike F's book. Edited November 7, 2004 by sidewinder Quote
porcy62 Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Today is Trane time, started with some Atlantics, it will end with Ascension. Ascension? Nahh, my wife will kill me before that! Quote
sidewinder Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 'Live In Seattle' should do the trick within 2 minutes... Just spinning a Fresh Sound copy of the Barclay 'Bobby Jaspar' session. Very nice vinyl reissue. I have my eye on a whole bundle of second-hand Fresh Sound Jaspars and will probably now take the plunge. Quote
Leeway Posted November 7, 2004 Report Posted November 7, 2004 Today is Trane time, started with some Atlantics, it will end with Ascension. Ascension? Nahh, my wife will kill me before that! That's an awful lot of Trane, but great, great music. I've been totally digging my vinyl set of "Heavyweight Champion." I love Trane's Atlantic period. I also love the Village Vanguard set with Dolphy. Listening to the Trane Atlantic LPs in succession is akin to having a spirtual experience Quote

"Heavyweight Championship" should have called "Spiritual trip"! Quote
Leeway Posted November 8, 2004 Report Posted November 8, 2004 Another miscellaneous listening session: SAVOY BROWN-- "RAW SIENNA"-- Parrot LP, 1970. From the underbelly of the British Invasion Impulse A-5. I love Dolphy's subversive solos on this record. Also, Bill Evans is wonderful here, just as he is on "Kind of Blue," and it makes me wish he had played in such band settings more often. BTW, why should they have changed the cover illustration for the CD version?-- certainly a change for the worse. Pablo LP. Geffen Records, 1980. Released less than a month before Lennon was shot and killed (in Dec 1980), the back cover shows John and Yoko standing on what looks like Central Park West, perhaps near where Lennon was killed (?). A candid, and often lovely, album. Quote

Leeway Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Sun Records-The Rocking Years. 12 LP set, in excellent condition. Rockabilly Heaven. and i paid $35. That qualifies as a top-list "Great Find" Maybe we need to hang around Beldam (not Bedlam?) and Squalor more to find such great deals. Quote
Leeway Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Gene Ammons & Sonny Stitt - Chess LP. Big, fat-toned, swinging tenor playing. BTW, the liner notes by Nat Hentoff are pretty vague. NH states that these performances are from 1950-51. No mention of location(s). Also, no mention of the sidemen. Can anyone help on this? Quote
wolff Posted November 10, 2004 Author Report Posted November 10, 2004 Elvin Jones: Poly-Currents (Blue Note) Nice music with warm, natural sound. The flute and Bari are to die for. Maybe, a fellow board member will not be getting this one. Quote
jacman Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Maybe we need to hang around Beldam (not Bedlam?) and Squalor more to find such great deals. LOL. i didn't think anyone paid attention to the location. FWIW. the LPs are scuff/scratch free. and the book(lette) that came with the set is in NM condition. Quote
sidewinder Posted November 10, 2004 Report Posted November 10, 2004 Sam Rivers 'Contours' mono - just getting in the groove.. Quote
Leeway Posted November 11, 2004 Report Posted November 11, 2004 (edited) All about beginnings and endings: Both Blue Notes are blue label, white "b"- "Van Gelder" in the deadwax on "Beyond". I recall that the Pepper album came up on this tread before, and AJF67 offered me a burn. Thanks Drew, but I found (stumbled across) my copy at last A fine Pepper session. Hurts to think how many years Art spent in jail after recording this gem. and Bob Dylan, "New Morning"- Columbia LP Edited November 11, 2004 by Leeway Quote
Leeway Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 One step beyond, giant step, or even giant steps? If Hendrix made us want "electric ladyland," Taj made us want to get our lady, take to the land, and rusticate. Columbia LP. Speaking of beginnings and endings, Pharoah Sanders told us what he thought: "the Creator has a Master Plan"- MCA Impulse LP. Quote
DrJ Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 Mosaic COMPLETE BENNY MORTON AND JIMMY HAMILTON BLUE NOTE SWINGTETS. I just lucked into this one at an auction recently. It sounds fantastic, far better than the Japanese reissue of this stuff on a CD from 1999 called SWING HI, SWING LO. No comparison. Even my CD-R burn SMOKES that one. Ah, the joys of pristine vinyl, a tube amp with a great phono stage, and a burner... Quote
brownie Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 Vinyls spinning this evening: - Warne Marsh 'Warne Out' (Interplay), with Jim Hughart and Nick Ceroli, - Johnny Hartman 'Live At Sometime' (Trio) with Roland Hanna and George Mraz, - Joel Futterman 'Inneraction' (JDF) with Jimmy Lyons, Richard Davis and Robert Adkins I have cleaned my ears and ready to enjoy all three! Quote
Leeway Posted November 12, 2004 Report Posted November 12, 2004 (edited) A rainy day off gave me a bit of extra time to listen: Blue Note, Blue label, white "B" Country Joe-- minus his "Fish"- I saw Country Joe and The Fish back in the late 60s at the Fillmore East, and yes, we did the F-cheer! And it's 1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for? I don't give a damn, next stop it's Vietnam." Maybe now it's Baghdad or Fallujah? Anti-war songs based on the poetry of Robert Service. All-too relevant, alas. I prefer Joe with The Fish. Vanguard LPs. I've heard a lot about Graham Parker- sounds to me like a mix of Bryan Ferry, David Bowie, and especially Elvis Costello-- but without the inner fire: Back to some jazz: Atlantic SD 1572 Some terrific 70s organ jazz/funk: With Freddie Hubbard, Joe Henderson, Eddie Henderson, Mark Elf on guitar, smokin! Prestige double-LP. Edited November 12, 2004 by Leeway Quote
Leeway Posted November 13, 2004 Report Posted November 13, 2004 (edited) Wanted to hear some Dewey Redman, so checked out: Can't say I'm much of a Keith Jarrett fan, but this is a very good outing. Jarrett's "vocalizing" makes Glenn Gould sound like Pavarotti. A dreaful wheedling sound Impulse! LP Edited November 13, 2004 by Leeway Quote
