brownie Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Wolff, I think you're a bit harsh. Those EW Great Jazz Trio albums are beautiful sessions. And that McLean is really enjoyable. Not MAJOR but really highly enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Anita O'Day & The Three Sounds. That's a really good one. I don't think that made it to CD except for the Mosaic box. Anita sounds really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajf67 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Clark Terry - Duke with a Difference Sweet! Never heard this. Can you give some details? CLARK TERRY Duke with a Difference OJCCD-229-2 (Riverside 1108) ~ $11.98 (CASS ~ OJC-229-4 ~ $7.98) (LP ~ OJC-229 ~ $9.98) Clark Terry's series of late-Fifties Riverside albums covered a very wide range (on one he shared honors with a tuba player; another featured Thelonious Monk), but Duke with a Difference may have been the most unusual. On this occasion he gathered together a number of major artists--notably including Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, and Billy Strayhorn--who had been his colleagues for years in the Ellington orchestra, and enabled them to fulfill a mutual fantasy by performing a repertoire of some of the Duke's distinguished standards (among them "Mood Indigo," "Take the 'A' Train," and "C Jam Blues") in a deliberately non-Ellington vein. C-Jam Blues, In a Sentimental Mood, Cotton Tail, Just Squeeze Me (But Don't Tease Me), Mood Indigo, Take the "A" Train, In a Mellow Tone, Come Sunday with Johnny Hodges, Paul Gonsalves, Britt Woodman, Quentin Jackson, Billy Strayhorn, Tyree Glenn, Jimmy Woode, Sam Woodyard Thanks!

ajf67 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1 in B Flat Minor w/ Van Cliburn. Nice sounding RCA Lp I picked up for $2 a while back. The stores around here practically give classical vinyl away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolff Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Pulled out a nice ARS(vinyl) set I put together a few years ago. Cherry picked a guys collection for nice and unplayed titles. Went through about 25 and kept 6 that had decent vinyl. RVG did stellar job mastering, but the vinyl can be noisy. Roy Eldridge and Benny Carter: The Urbane Jazz of ARS 413 Mulligan Quartet and Wilson Trio at Newport ARS 434 The Flying Fingers of Art Tatum and Buddy De Franco ARS 412 Basie...Swingin' at Newport ARS 435 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajf67 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Tonight has been: A new Gerry Mulligan LP on Crown Records (CLP 5411) I picked up today that has no info on it except the sidemen: Chet Baker, Chico Hamilton, Buddy Collette and Gerald Wiggins. Benny Carter The King Pablo, 1976 with Milt Jackson, Joe Pass and Tommy Flanagan. Nice stuff Barney Kessel: The Poll Winners Contemporary, 1957. With Shelly Manne and Ray Brown. These old Contemporaries really do sound fantastic. I think it waas Wolff who first pointed this out, and man are you right. Stephane Grappelli/Joe Pass/NHOP Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen Pablo, 1979 THis one starts out with a swinging version of "It's Only a Paper Moon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street singer Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Gerry Mulligan - 'The Concert Jazz Band' (Verve MG V-8388) Picked up today for $5! That qualifies as a "Good Find" Yeah, I thought so, too. It was the only "good find" of the day, but one is certainly better than none. The vinyl is in excellent shape and doesn't sound half bad, either. The sleeve, however, is horrid...multiple stains, seam split completely at the top. This doesn't matter so much to me as long as the record sounds good, but it does make me wonder: How can a record survive in such great shape while the sleeve looks as though it has survived a series of natural disasters?! If the job of the sleeve is to protect the record within, well...this one certainly did its job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
