jeffcrom Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) 10" LPs tonight: Miles Davis - Enigma (Blue Note) Henri Renaud - Modern Sounds: France (Contemporary). Jimmy Gourley is great on this. Jonah Jones - Jonah Wails (Angel) Jimmy McPartland/Dizzy Gillespie - Hot vs Cool (MGM). A 1952 "battle of jazz" recorded at Birdland. Louis Armstrong - New Orleans Days (Decca) Wooden Joe Nicholas - A Nite at Artesian Hall (American Music) The first is new - the "Black Friday" issue from a few months ago. The rest are originals from the 1950s. Edited January 19, 2015 by jeffcrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Those Brit EPs look very cool, Clunky. Now playing: The Original Tuxedo Jazz Band (Scepter). This 1966 album represents more or less the halfway point for the longest-running band in jazz history. Banjoist Albert French is the leader here; his grandson Gerald French now leads the band.Cor! Scepter didn't half produce some albums you wouldn't expect! I used to have a James Moody LP ('Running the gamut') on Scepter and the form also owned Hob, on which the Swan Silvertones, Thompson Community Choir and James Cleveland appeared (and which also reissued Harmonizing Four material from Gotham). All funded, I guess, by Chuck Jackson, Maxine Brown and Dionne Warwick.MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bresnahan Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Coleman Hawkins - Accent On Tenor (Urania). Nice enough date but nothing I haven't heard from Hawk before. The cover is beat up and held together with yellow masking tape and the record has a few scratches but surprisingly doesn't play like it does. What do you want for $2? Edit: Weirdly, this 1955(?) record is listed as Stereo when it sounds to my ears like Mono. Is this (US 41201) a later reissue where they said it was stereo when in reality it was actually mono?

Leeway Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) I'm an Urs Leimgruber completist, otherwise I probably wouldn't be picking up the OM's, although they have their virtues.

mjazzg Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) I bought 'Twine' by Leimgruber and EP yesterday in the Clean Feed sale solely on Leeway's enthusiasm for UL. I've often wondered about Om (out loud on this board I suspect). And now I have Reflexion to wonder about too Now playing Eberhard Weber - The Following Morning [ECM]. paid very little for this one a couple of days ago and I'm wondering how three tracks can be NM and one alone be completely trashed (and look fine)......weird.

Leeway Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Do you have the Reflexion Lps? I recall having one on Enja and Urs is on that album... No I don't. I'll keep an eye out for them.

Music's enjoyable once you give it some time I hope you will find my support of "Twine" well-placed. It's an album that works unexpectedly well. Might take a couple of spins. I enjoyed how they set each other off. I might even argue that Urs comes off a bit better. Would be interested in knowing your thoughts on UL. There are better albums of his (love the Hats) that show him off more, but this is very much OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've been coming across Pacific Jazz albums at what seem to me to be very low prices. This one, in nice shape, was $5. Not exactly my main thing, but could not resist at that price. Is that about the going rate for them now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 The Dorham will still set you back some change. The Earl Anderza on red wax sometimes gets pricey, surely there are others. Amy's records are excellent but not all that rare, so they probably can be found cheaply.

Big Beat Steve Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 At any rate, this cover looks VERY much like a later pressing to me, particularly that centered STEREO typeface at the top looks looks VERY 60s-ish (or even 70s).. The original LP number was UJLP 1201 and the cover shown here ... http://www.popsike.com/COLEMAN-HAWKINS-ACCENT-ON-TENOR-SAX-URANIA-UJLP-1201-OG/140651071950.html ... looks much more like a 50s cover. Anyway, thanks for the reminder. Might as well spin the LP later myelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG I know that Shirley (Owens) Alston performs at oldies shows over here. And back to MG's first post - I have a nice Art Farmer album on Scepter. The Tuxedo Jazz Band album was recorded in Germany while the band was on tour in 1964 and originally released on SABA there. Don't know the details of how Scepter got their hands on it.

Anyway, thanks for the reminder. Might as well spin the LP later myelf. What throws me off is that this newer "STEREO" pressing shows all the signs of being old itself. It has a deep groove. So if it's a later pressing, I'm thinking it's still late 50s or very early 60s. Now playing: Woody Shaw - Lotus Flower (Enja). For some reason, this record never really resonated with me and still doesn't to this day. It's very good but I just can't put it in the elite category. It may be the recording itself, which seems thinner than most or maybe it's that early 80s bass sound which is its usual anemic twang.
