wolff Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Posted February 16, 2005 Wolff, are you saying that you bought the Lee Morgan, new, thirty years ago and were keeping it mint, but opened it a year ago?? No. I bought it a year ago and it was still sealed. Quote

patricia Posted February 16, 2005 Report Posted February 16, 2005 Wolff, are you saying that you bought the Lee Morgan, new, thirty years ago and were keeping it mint, but opened it a year ago?? No. I bought it a year ago and it was still sealed. Sorry for the confusion. I just couldn't picture anyone here having a mint Lee Morgan, without being tempted to play it. I don't know about you, but I buy vinyl to listen to, not just to have. Am I unusual among vinyl heads?? Right now I'm listening to Jonah Jones' "Jumpin' With Jonah" which will be followed by a collaboration called "Jonah Jones / Glen Gray and the Casaloma Orchestra", both of them very swingin'. I think that Glen Gray and his orchestra albums are some of the not widely known treasures of the records out there. Quote

mikeweil Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Don Patterson, Soul Happening (Prestige/Saba, 1967) with Vinnie Corrao and Billy James. This deserves a CD reissue - gladly my second attempt to get a used copy on eBay was successful. This includes one of his grand ballad treatments, Love Letters. Quote
mikeweil Posted February 17, 2005 Report Posted February 17, 2005 Cal Tjader, Puttin' It Together (Fantasy, 1973) Nice live recording from Concerts by the Sea. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 You know, it took me a long long time to dig Weather Report's Heavy Weather. I just played it last night, 10 times straight, I think it's starting to get to me. After long hours of 70's fusion, I had to just let my Joe Pass spin for a while. The synths got to me, too much.

patricia Posted February 18, 2005 Report Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) A Tapestry Of Dreams - Charles Aznavour [Remember how popular he was during the seventies?? Nothing like his stuff, with dim lights, a nice glass of wine....] A Tribute To Glenn Miller Vol II - Bobby Krane and his orchestra [it's interesting to me that so many Miller "tribute" albums are out there. Few are bad and many are excellent. In this case, there is no greater compliment to that era than younger musicians carrying on, evolving the Miller band's sound without really changing it.] Symphonic Soul - Henry Mancini This is one of my favourite Mancini collections. It has a new version of the Peter Gun theme with an organ solo by Joe Sample that is amazing. Could someone tell me what an african finger piano is?? I hate to betray my ignorance, but there is a solo on one on the "African Symphony" track and I'm curious. Edited February 18, 2005 by patricia Quote

Patricia, all you need to know about African pianos... http://www.nscottrobinson.com/mbira.php Also if you happen to have the album, Jack DeJohnette also plays some thumb piano on the Wayne Shorter BN date 'Super Nova' Quote

sidewinder Posted February 19, 2005 Report Posted February 19, 2005 Mike Westbrook 'Citadel/Room 315' (UK RCA original). Featuring John Surman and one of British Jazz's finest hours. An interesting contrast after the live solo Westbrook I saw last weekend. To be followed by more Westbrook - 'Metropolis' (RCA Neon). Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 20, 2005 Report Posted February 20, 2005 The Great Concert of Chas. Mingus (America), LP 2. You'll be pleased to know, Sidewinder, that this follows a cranked-up jam of Surman's "How Many Clouds Can You See?". Traded my Westbrook RCAs; maybe I should find 'em and give 'em another shot.
