Parkertown Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Ella Fitzgerald - Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! - Verve - Classic Records 200 gm Stereo Lp. (this, coming from someone who doesn't normally listen to jazz 'vocals'.) Quote
Parkertown Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 But it was marked down to $9.98...down from $34.98. I figured I'd take a gamble... Glad I did! Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity - (Impulse white-label) strange they didn't list all the various ethnic instruments that the group plays; I'm hearing koto and harmonium, but they're not listed anywhere on the LP. Quote
Parkertown Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Miles 5-tet - Cookin' - Prestige mid 70's two-fer with Relaxin'. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) Pharoah Sanders - Black Unity - (Impulse white-label) strange they didn't list all the various ethnic instruments that the group plays; I'm hearing koto and harmonium, but they're not listed anywhere on the LP. I don't think you're hearing a koto; I think you're hearing a kora, a West African harp/lute, which Pharoah always calls a balapone or bailaphone, because he was confused. (He made the same mistake n "Thembi".) The bala or balafon is a West African marimba-like instrument. So that's accounted for in the sleeve notes; Pharoah and Larry are both credited as playing that. Thembi says in the sleeve notes that Pharoah sometimes includes a koto in the band, but he doesn't actually go so far as to say they're used on THIS album. (And he avoids mentioning balafons ) I wonder if the harmonium-like sound is the two basses bowed in a strange way. It's a while since I listened to this LP.

clifford_thornton Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Kora - that works for me. Balafons are great instruments, but there surely isn't one on that record. I'm pretty sure it's harmonium, though the pitch is a little high. Definitely not anything from the basses, as they're vamping away underneath. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 Now, side two of Albert Ayler - In Greenwich Village (Impulse, red-black stereo) always thought the better music was on the Village Concerts posthumous twofer, but this disc is no slouch... Quote
Parkertown Posted July 15, 2006 Report Posted July 15, 2006 halfway thru Side 2 of Relaxin' now...from the aforementioned Prestige 2-fer... Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 Richard "Groove" Holmes - Soul power - Prestige 7543 blue label - preview copy autographed by one "John Edwards". Anyone heard of John Edwards? Good sleeve note by Chris A - only organ sleeve note in all of time to mention Frederick Longshaw. I hate it when they reissue two LPs on one CD and leave off one track. You have to keep the LP in circulation. I'd rather buy two separate CDs, frankly. MG Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 Gil Evans - Into the Hot (Impulse mono original) always wondered why they had to split up the programs so... Quote

wolff Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Posted July 17, 2006 Jimi Hendrix - 'Axis: Bold As Love' (Classic Records Mono) Wooow..... Yep! Quite possibly, the best reissue I've heard, ever. Charlie Parker: Complete Savoy (5LP) Interesting to listen to this while reading a Bird bio. Quote
