What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Otis Rush - Tops - Blind Pig

MG

[Clunky]

Clunky - the sound of the Helen Merrill on the Mosaic Single CD is probably a lot better than the Milestone LP (..gets hit with bolt of lightning..). Really excellent music !

listening again having adjusted azimuth on the fly and the background is now nice and quiet. Sound good and strong , more importantly "Deep in dream" has to be one of the best ballads I've heard.

[kh1958]

Milt Jackson, Statements IImpulse, red and black), and

George Braith, Extension (Blue Note, NY USA).

[jeffcrom]

Some trad/New Orleans jazz on 45 RPM EPs, four tunes each. The Johnny Wiggs is actually a 7" 33.3 PPM EP.

Edmond Hall - With Gustav Brom Orchestra (Czech Supraphon). Recorded in 1960 in Prague.

Edmond Hall (Argentinian Columbia). Recorded in 1957 in Buenas Aires while on tour with Louis Armstrong. The sleeve of my copy is inscribed by Hall to his doctor.

George Lewis and Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband (Danish Storyville). Got this one in Copenhagen, where this was recorded in 1959.

Herb Morand and His New Orleans Jazz Band (UK Special Release). Dubbed from 1950 78s. I have one of the 78s; if I find the other one, I'll probably sell this EP.

Johnny Wiggs and His Bayou Stompers (Jazzette). A fabulous little 1968 record by a four-piece band: Wiggs, with his cornet style influenced equally by Bix and King Oliver, the great Raymond Burke on clarinet, my man Danny Barker on guitar, and bassist Chester Zardis, who was in Buddy Petit's band in 1915,

I'm doing a blindfold test in a couple of months (you should check that section out, it is alot of fun), so I've been playing some stuff I haven't heard for awhile to find some music. God that is an awful sentence. Anyway, this is a really good album. I will certainly listen to it more often.

Oho! We'll all guess every track is Pino Manafri

Right now I'm not using it but by tomorrow the whole thing might be changed. You probably know how that goes.

Barry Guy, Howard Riley, John Stevens, Trevor Watts,- " Endgame"- (Japo)

rec. 1979 and it's just as good as you'd expect. Recommended.

[jeffcrom]

Le Jazz en France, Volume 1 - Paris 1919-1923: Premiers Jazz Bands (Pathe Marconi). Some very enjoyable not-quite-jazz-yet, at least to an antiquarian like me. This is the stuff that influenced Ravel and Milhaud.

[JohnS]

One I'd forgotten I had. Lacy hasn't been on my turntable for a while.

Al Cohn 'On the Saxophone' (Dawn reissue)

Japanese pressing

You inspired me to have a listen and yes it is as good as you would expect. Another one I should listen to more often.

[jeffcrom]

Ben Tucker - Baby, You Should Know It (Ava mono). So long, Ben.

[Clunky]

Bennie Maupin, Mike Nock , Cecil McBee, Eddie Marshall---- "Almanac"-----(IAI)

issued 1977 but sleeve says recorded NYC 1967, wonder if this is correct ?? Any which way it's a very good as you'd hope with Maupin sounding excellent. His playing here reminds me of Sam Rivers. Excellent.

He was releasing (very good) fusion LPs like the ones below around 1977 so I would suspect that the 1967 date might be correct. I suspect also that by 1977 Mike Nock would no longer have been resident in NYC and returned home across the Pacific.
