Jimmy Giuffre 4 - Dragonfly (Soul Note)

one of today's arrivals. I'd held off for no other reason that there always seemed to be other Giuffre to investigate but this one I like a lot on first listen. Shouldn't be a surprise that Giuffre should make a group recording where his voice transcends instrumentation that in other hands was less successful. It's so Giuffre

Fontana UK (stereo). Walked right past the Needle today so in recognition of Mr Ross I had a sit at the base :cool:, albeit at the other side. These is some shrapnel damage to the base due to a 1917 WW1 aerial bomb, the first of the war to hit London apparently !

One Night Stand with Duke Ellington: At the Steel Pier, Atlantic City, N.J., July, 1964 (Joyce). I've had this album for at least ten years, but I hardly ever play it, because it was mastered from horribly sped-up tapes. Tonight I thought, "Oh yeah, I've got a variable-speed turntable now." I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes, and hadn't thought to play this LP since I got this turntable. Since I know what key Ellington played many of these tunes in, I slowed down the table to the right speed for the record, and am now hearing these performances correctly for the first time.

There are half a dozen tunes from the then-brand-new Ellington '65 album, and about as many Ellington standards. The taped-off-the-radio sound is not great, but this is a nice, spirited performance.

I was still at school when I bought he Jimmy Giuffre Clarinet when it first came out in the UK on London.  Fascinating music.

This one must be omnipresent here, it seems. I don't have many Giuffre leader records but this is one of the two Giuffre LPs (plus 3 EPs from various other LPs) I have (don't even remember why I bought this one specifically). Must listen to it again occasionally.
