Clifton Chenier: Black Snake Blues (Arhoolie)

Chenier was a new name to me until last weekend, when I picked up at a small record fair, the "Very best of" LP on Arhoolie from '68. Great music indeed , swings like mad.

Glad you discovered Clifton Chenier.

Sadik Hakim Trio: Witches, Goblins, etc. (Steeplechase)

Am I the only person that finds the "etc" in the title intriguing/redundant/lazy? They couldn't think of other otherworldly entities? or they didn't have space on the sleeve?

Blame Sadik Hakim. He titled the tune.

Howard McGhee: The Sharp Edge (Black Lion/Trio Japan)

(Couldn't find an image that matched the cover of my copy)

Some beautiful playing by Howard McGhee on this one.

[jeffcrom]

Roy Eldridge - Rockin' Chair (Verve). A beautiful, noiseless Japanese pressing.

Later: Just looked at an Eldridge discography to pin down the dates and personnel. There really weren't any records Roy made as a leader between 1962 and 1972? Wow - that's an absolute crime.

ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO - Art Ensemble Of Soweto

[jeffcrom]

Humphrey Lyttelton - Jazz at the Royal Festival Hall (UK Parlophone 10"). I no longer remember where I got this record, but I'm glad I found it. This 'Merican has a soft spot for the better European trad bands. They add their own flavor to the basic New Orleans style, and often have a more varied and interesting repertoire than American "dixieland" bands.

Sun Ra "night of the purple moon" (intergalactic, USA)

Hans Reichel/Eroc "kino" (teldec, Germany)

David Durrah "angelic streams" (qpsm, USA)

Played that one thin when I was 17. One of my first records - 10" LP.

Jim Hall - Jazz Guitar (PJ). The rough condition of my copy became easier to take when I learned that the original tapes are gone, and that subsequent issues had edited tracks and overdubbed drums.

This again.
