Leeway Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 West Wind might have been sketchy, but their Braxton "Coventry" and the Lacy and Potts' "Live in Budapest" capture the immediacy and air of the live performance, whatever their other deficiencies. The Budapest performance strikes me as joyful and relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Boy Elroy Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 I don't hate Chet Baker's singing, but I like it better when he "plays" . . . this was a 2-lp vinyl reissue of "Chet Baker Sings and Plays" and "Chet Baker Sings," both originally issued in the mid '50's.

His Boy Elroy Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 'Don't know anything about this label ("Super Majestic"), but I gather it's a (presumably) French import, possibly a knock-off label. Still, this is a pretty solid collection, with surprisingly clear sound (from '72). Comp includes heavies such as Brownie McGhee, Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry, Lightnin' Hopkins, Leadbelly, Memphis Slim, and Jack Dupree.

jeffcrom Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Budd Johnson -Ya! Ya! (Argo) A trip down memory lane: this was the first jazz album I owned. It was a Christmas gift from my mother - Xmas, 1970. She presumably picked it out more or less at random at a local department store because it was by a saxophonist, and I had been playing saxophone about two months at the time. I still love it, and I also think that Richard Davis' atonal, quarter-tone arco solo in "Exotique" had a pretty profound affect on me. I think my thoughts at the time were something like, "Well that's strange, but kind of cool. I guess you can do that." Thanks, Mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Boy Elroy Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Picked this out of a jazz stack this afternoon for six bucks. Pretty clean, save for one small scratch I was a bit concerned about. Anyway, I took a small gamble, and so far, so good. 'One of those albums I always hoped to eventually stumble across. A pretty good score, I think . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed you've recorded Mr. Bowie a few times. I intend to check those out. I was pretty pleased to see this one sitting in a used bin this afternoon, clean as a whistle. I don't think it's ever been issued on cd. I very much enjoyed Side 1 . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
