clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 John Gilmore/Clifford Jordan Blue Note 1549--deep-groove flat-edge "New York 23" original. DAMN this is one smokin' record!!! I'm not as much of a hardbop conoisseur as some of you all, but that is probably one of my top five modern jazz records. It's insane! Of course, I only have a King mono pressing... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Another in the "top five" - Jackie McLean - New Soil - (BN Toshiba stereo) the first Jackie Mc that I bought; years ago as a Manhattan LP, now on the audiophile version. Hopefully will be able to score a W. 63rd someday... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) Dizzy Reece - Asia Minor - (New Jazz, recent Japanese pressing) I always find myself reaching for the Blue Notes, but this one is a fine session that should not be missed. Cecil Payne, Joe Farrell, Charli Persip, Hank Jones and Ron Carter round out the band and Jones is in great form. Not to mention Persip's solo on the last track...

Allan Songer Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Tina Brooks - True Blue - (BN King stereo) no slouches here! Another hard bop gem. Is Duke Jordan the PERFECT piano for Tina Brooks or WHAT? Quote
Parkertown Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Tina Brooks - True Blue - (BN King stereo) no slouches here! Ya know, I recently got the Classic Records 200gm MONO version of this and I have to say, I much prefer the stereo mix over the mono one. Just something about how Teena & Freddie blend their horns but then make little statements outside of that blend that the stereo mix just makes 'em jump out of the speakers. The mono just doesn't do this... Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Is Duke Jordan the PERFECT piano for Tina Brooks or WHAT? Agreed. They have a similar quality of light-yet-earthy lyricism... Finally found the moving box where it (and a lot of other hardbop) was packed, too! Quote

clifford_thornton Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Sunny Murray - s/t - (Shandar original) amazing concert recording from '68, with Tusques, Guerin, Terroade, Portal, Vitet, Ambrose Jackson and poetry by Hart Leroy Bibbs (who acted in the first scene of Round Midnight, with Dexter Gordon). Similar band recorded for Pathe a few months later (Big Chief), another beautiful session commingling American and French players. Quote

patricia Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) The Kings Of Swing - Usual suspects on one of those Reader's Digest compilations on RCA. Say what you like about low-end compilations, there are few better ways to introduce someone to the jazz of a particular period than through these. They are much better than individual vintage albums by artists that a newbie has never heard. They also narrow down what individual albums such a person might want to start with. Even better are the ones on which each artist has only one or two tracks, I think. I introduced my young assistant to jazz by playing my Jazz Tone discs while we were working. I became interested in Dixieland and jazz from the forties and fifties through those Jazz Tone compilations and still collect them. This 2 record RD set devotes each side to one artist. They are Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. There are also nice little thumbnail bios on each of the men involved when you open the gate cover. Pristine condition, so whoever had them didn't play them much, which seems typical. Nice collection. Edited February 14, 2006 by patricia Quote
brownie Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Philly Joe Jones 'Round Midnight' (Lotus) Italian bootleg of a PJJ concert in the beautiful city of Pesaro. Philly Joe had Dizzy Reece and Danish tenor player Bengt Jaedig (listed as Ben Jedig in the non-existent liner notes) with him. Quote
Clunky Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 Ornette On Tenor- Atlantic (mid 60s UK issue)- dark set really Easy Living- Ike Quebec- BN ( 1987 issue- sounds pretty good , unclear if BNs of this vinatge will inevitably have been mastered from digital tape) Quote
