jeffcrom Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Three seemingly unrelated albums I picked up in Seattle over the weekend. I hear plenty of connections between them. George Lewis - Shadowgraph (Black Saint). I had always regretted not getting this when it was there to be got. Nice to finally have a good-quality copy. Gary Burton - The Groovy Sound of Music (RCA Victor mono). Mr. Burton meets Mr. Swallow for the first time on vinyl. Preservation Hall Jazz Band - Live at Carnegie Hall (Preservation Hall/Rounder 10"). The PHJB's January 7, 2012 concert resulted in the St. Peter & 57th St. CD and this 10" LP, which was in print for about five minutes. I missed out four years ago, but I'm glad to have it now.

clifford_thornton Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just picked up Shadowgraph myself recently - it's in the 'to listen' pile right now... Now: something I've had (obviously) for many years, Clifford Thornton - Freedom & Unity - (Third World, US private press orig) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homefromtheforest Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Shadowgraph is a very fine record; have not played it in over 10 years. A nice reminder to pull it out one day. I recall not liking it quite as much as "homage to Charlie Parker" though.. I should pick up those Clifford Thornton records on Third World one day I only have the BYG and "gardens of Harlem" albums. Now spinning: Grant Green "Sunday morning" (blue note, NY stereo ear) Edited March 22, 2016 by Homefromtheforest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom & Unity is great -- have had a few copies over the years and the one I've got now is in archival condition. Seems like between the small-label cheap pressing and dudes jamming it often, many copies are pretty rinked. Communications Network is a curious artifact though I wouldn't call it a particularly fantastic album. Also, the America is a must-own.

rdavenport Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Joe Maini plays alto on this. I read Lenny Bruce's biography many years ago - he and Joe Maini hung out together for a while IIRC. I'd not heard him until I played this record., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thornton was an odd one to rip off, but I guess he was pretty well-known in the scene at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunky Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Marion Brown----la Placita ------(Timeless Jpn) comments on another thread prompted getting this one out again. On the whole I'm pretty positive about the session although I can see why the guitarist is singled out for criticism. Ross' solos are pretty dull and don't quite seem to fit. As a fan of Brown I wouldn't be without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
