Just picked these Speaker's Corner Verve Reissues:

Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, & Teddy Wilson - Selections from The Benny Goodman Movie

Coleman Hawkins - Coleman Hawkins and Confreres

VER-6110_LG.jpg

Don't have originals for comparison, but these are both very, very well done.

Next on deck:- Tony Crombie and His Men 'Atmosphere' (UK Columbia mono). A rare late-50s LP with Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott. Can't believe I picked it up for the grand total of £2.50. The flimsy cover is pretty trashed but the vinyl is bordering near-mint, heavy vinyl sound is superb. I have a spare 1980's reissue sleeve so I'm sorted with this one. :D

The Indo-Jazzmen 'Ragas and Reflections' (Saga stereo). Currified version of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen' on side 2. Far out ! :crazy:

Similar band to the Curried Jazz LP?

Not sure ! The only musicians credited on the sleeve are Krishna Kumar (tabla) and Tara (Tambura) Kapur on sitar. The session includes the indian group with bass and drums plus front line of alto/flute and flugel horn. The alto/flute could be Ray Swinfield. The flugel doesn't sound like Kenny Wheeler - my guess is it's Harry Beckett.

Both this and the 'Curried Jazz' LPs are mentioned as 'cash ins' on the Mayer/Harriott fusion albums and were both put out on real cheapo labels (Saga in the case of 'Ragas' and MFP in the case of 'Curried Jazz'). The Saga pressing though sounds truly excellent - and its in heavy vinyl. :excited:

What am I listening to on vinyl today, Memorial Concert for Charlie Parker, recorded Carnegie Hall 1965. This includes Dizzy Gillespie Quintet, a Roy Eldridge Sextet and a solo Lee Konitz.

Jazz Studio One, on Brunswick 1954, just one track each side, Tenderly and Lets Split.

The Carla Bley Band on Watt 1982,

Five Birds And A Monk, on Galaxy recorded 1978.

I have about a 1000 vinyl LPs.

To get over it, I'm gonna have to play my Lou Bennett 45 in a minute.

Take me out to the ball game/Dark eyes - Columbia (UK) DB7296 (1964) (DJ copy) featuring King Curtis (loud tenor sax), Franco Manzecchi (loud drums), as well as Lou Bennett (extremely loud organ).

Yes, yes. I feeel better now! Dark eyes is super-sensational!

I have beautiful memories of going to Scotts, original club 39, Gerrard Street, Soho, I used to go to the all night jazz sessions which started about midnight on a saturday. Ronnie and Tubby played their hearts out. I dont think tubby ever got the credit he deserved. I would recomend to you two vinyls I have aquired reasently, Tubby Hayes, On The Air on Harkit Records also tubby Hayes Introducing Tubbs. He was great on tenor but he was so good on flute,. vibes and anything else he wanted to play. A great talent, sadly missed. The funny thing is I went to the alnight session to see the americans.
