Cecil Taylor--------Live at the Cafe Montmartre--------(Debut) mono Danish LP. Not sure if this is the original issue but the sound is very clear.

Yes, Danish Debut is the original issue.

My deck is ready for collection.

Kyoto Imperial Court Music Orchestra - Gagaku: The Imperial Court Music of Japan (Lyrichord)

[sidewinder]

Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Quartet (Artists House)

[sidewinder]

Followed by today's nice s/h finds:

Miles 'In A Silent Way' (Mobile Fidelity, numbered edition)

Mike Westbrook 'Love/Dream and Variations' (Transatlantic). Been after this one for a while..

[paul secor]

Chico Freeman: Morning Prayer (Trio/WhyNot)

[RogerF]

actually listening to the Italian I Giganti Del Jazz series version. Just as good as the Supraphon - this really should be reissued on CD but sounds amazing on the turntable.

Love that one, the trombones especially...my first Westbrook album back in late '76. Due a CD release - my vinyl suffers badly from distortion as each side progresses (post-oil crisis thin vinyl!). Might have been out in Japan at some point (most things have).

This one doesn't have a mark on it, zero distortion and sounds great. LP weight surprisingly heavy for the vintage as well - these Transatlantics are OK. Must get hold of that other one he did around that time for this label for the Brass Band.

Side 2 particularly good - quite groovy.

With the LP deck now back up to scratch the CDs will be taking a secondary place..

Glad you got a decent copy. I really like start of side 2 - the lamenting trombone (Rutherford?) sliding into 'Creole Love Call' (first heard that tune on this record...one of the things that made me want to explore Ellington). A nice Latin thing with electric piano at the end of Side 1; and a well paced climax at the end of 2...your groovy bit?.

Was the other Transatlantic 'For the Record'? That one has eluded me too.  

[sidewinder]

Yes, the other one on Transatlantic was 'For The Record', with the red cover.

Indeed it is Paul Rutherford featured on the first track of side 2, leading into the 'Interlude' of 'Creole Love Call.' The final track 'Finale' is a very catchy riff - something that Mike W. has a particular knack for.

Next up on UK CBS - got slated when it came out but I like it. Nice punchy sound on vinyl too..

Jimmy Giuffre ------1961--------( ECM)

 this album has intrigued for years but I found the dry thin sound very distracting. However with my current cartridge/phono stage ( upgraded over the past 18 months ) the whole set has now come alive at last so I can hear what's going on.

The cover above is taken from discogs. It is hard to scan. Here is my attempt - with the dedication to Bill Evans:

Now spinning!

[paul secor]

Yes. Your image is true to the LP cover. I should have looked further before I posted.
