Homefromtheforest Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Jackie McLean "one step beyond" (blue note, NY USA mono with ear) a stone mint and dead silent record...amazing fidelity!

Homefromtheforest Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Steve Lacy "stalks" (Columbia, Japan) Perhaps my favorite Lacy album...at least in my top 5 for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunky Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Lennie Hambro Quintet--------The nature of things---------(Fontana UK) Session mainly interesting for the excellent piano of Eddie Costa and guitarists Sal Salvador and Barry Galbraith. Well worth hearing. Hambro isn't the most fluent of players - sounds quite "jerky" on alto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 UJ&RE 'United Live - Opus Sechs' (Mood) Signed by Jon Hiseman, Barbara Thomson and Eberhard Weber Nice record. Good band. Bought mine at a Barbara Thompson gig. Yes, have it on CD but couldn't resist a vinyl copy when I saw it today. This one also came with a really neat Contemporary Music network colour tour brochure. Not bad for six quid ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this band so much...killer music. Too bad (at least imo) that Jackie McLean went back to more conventional hard bop. Perhaps he felt that was the better way to make a living, or perhaps he had other reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he felt that was the better way to make a living, or perhaps he had other reasons. I'm inclined to agree; to me this band was his artistic pinnacle even though I still enjoy "right now", "it's time" and many of his other mid to late 60s Blue Notes. They're just not as adventurous as this group that made this album and "destination out"(albeit different rhythm section). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) The Beatles Anthology 3, I always thought the Beatles are just perfect for sunday mornings. There are a lot of radio stations here (U.S.) that run "Breakfast with the Beatles" shows on Sunday mornings, and you're right, it's a good fit.

Homefromtheforest Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Wendell Harrison "an evening with the devil" (tribe, USA) a recent score..$30 for an original in excellent shape! Kenny Drew "undercurrent" (blue note, music matters 33rpm reissue). So far so good...had a few previous MM discs with noise that I had to return.

BillF Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Emcee 5 'Let's Take Five' (UK Columbia mono EP) Newcastle hard bop's finest hour ! (or 15 mins) Just revisited that one on Spotify. Remarkable product for an English provincial city! Some ambiguity online about the lineup though. Do you know who's exactly on the record, Sidewinder?

sidewinder Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Emcee 5 'Let's Take Five' (UK Columbia mono EP) Newcastle hard bop's finest hour ! (or 15 mins) Just revisited that one on Spotify. Remarkable product for an English provincial city! Some ambiguity online about the lineup though. Do you know who's exactly on the record, Sidewinder? Bill - it is a remarkable artefact of British modern jazz. From a time when 5 guys from the jazz outpost that is Newcastle came from nowhere and blew the Londoners off the stand (Messrs Hayes and Scott excepted). Dennis Preston heard a demo disk and brought them down to Lansdowne ASAP for this Columbia EP. The band is Ian Carr (trumpet - his first major record date), Gary Cox (tenor), Mike Carr (piano), Spike Heatley (bass) and Ronnie Stephenson (drums). Hence the track 'Stephenson's Rocket' (also a local railway 'project' ). Side 1 has two of Mike Carr's originals (including aforementioned 'Rocket'). Side 2 has Gary Cox's 'Preludes' - which was apparently commisioned for an arts show on Tyne-Tees TV and to my ears is reminiscent of Rendell-Carr. I've read that the great front sleeve design was done by one Eric Burdon Esq. but the credit on the back of the sleeve is to some other name. Must have been Eric working under an alias I guess. I'm pretty sure that the line-up is as stated on the EP. This also lines up with the details in board member RogerF's Ian Carr discography and also the details on the 'Emcee 5 - Bebop From The East Coast' compilation.

Bassist Danny Padmore who came from Newcastle and was at university with me in Leeds in the mid-60s used to speak of the Emcee 5 in tones of awe. Incidentally, he didn't do too badly himself, as he's on this one along with John Bunch and Jon Eardley: Edited September 2, 2014 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
