six string Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 This morning I listened to some solo piano recordings. Randy Weston (PA/USA) WLP and Kenny Drew's Everything I Love (Steeple Chase) then I woke myself up with Charles Mingus' Blues and Roots (Atlantic) Red/Purple Mono copy. Quote

Silva, Alan - Luna Surface (180g Get Back re-issue) Sound was a little muddy and distant ROVA - Beat Kennel (Black Saint) Henry Threadgill - Easily Slip Into Another World (Novus) Edited June 5, 2008 by J.H.

Silva, Alan - Luna Surface (180g Get Back re-issue) Sound was a little muddy and distant Yeah, my orig clean as it looks is muddy. I'm not convinced that that doesn't add to it, though. It is meant to be dense with very little instrumental separation - a morass more than a field, yet one that still can wash over the listener. That's always been integral to Silva's intent. Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 Just finished: Wisely - fun rocker out of California. Very limited pressing. Now: The Eagles - Hotel California - My old, original LP. One of the very few I saved when I exited the land of LPs (the first time ) Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Must get around to buying a bit more Peggy Lee. MG Get "Black Coffee" on Decca. It's one her jazziest ever, and it's her most easy to find album from her Decca period (a few years in the mid 50s). Nearly all of her Capitol albums from the 50s up to at least the mid 60s are really solid. Also, I always loved the live album with George Shearing, "Beauty and the Beat." Yes - I have "Beauty & the beat" - it was one of the first albums I ever bought and I'm on my third copy now I also had, in those days, a two LP set called "The best of Peggy Lee" on UK Brunswick, from her Decca period. The track that always got me - and I still can hear it over 45 years later - was "Lover". Is that on the "Black coffee" album? MG Quote

sidewinder Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Grant Green's birthday today - in case no one's noticed Visions - BN UA orig I hadn't - but 'Visions' will be going on a bit later. Now playing John Coltrane 'More Lasting Than Bronze' (Prestige 24000 series twofer). Wow - 'Straight Street' sounds pretty damn good on this 70s twofer ! Quote
sidewinder Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Pepper Adams 'Critics' Choice' (Japanese World Pacific) Yes, great! With the little-heard-of, though highly talented, Lee Katzman Good point - never come across him before. The rest of the band is incredible too - Jimmy Rowles, the great Doug Watkins and Mel Lewis !

michel1969 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Andre Hodier; Essais (Savoy/BMG France). An overlooked gem? Hodeir ? Yes and no. Yes for the quality of the music (sometimes), no for the intellectual pretentions of the guy and his books. Here in France Hodeir is regarded as the ultimate jazzcritic, musician, thorician. It is the typical " european know it all" jazz analyst : "you can't understand what i'm saying" Quote

There's a Lee Katzman thread which you can find by putting his name into the search box under "Artists". Quote
