doubleM Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Cedar Walton--Spectrum (w/ Blue Mitchell). It burns!!! Quote
Z-Man Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 (edited) I forgot to mention that the recording engineer on this gig was Rudy Van Gelder, which kinda suprised me. (Bob Thiele produced). I know Rudy did work (and still does) for a lot of labels, but I don't really associate him with Impulse, especially its "New Thing" artists. Did RVG do a lot of work for Impulse and/or Thiele? Every Bob Thiele session I could find in my collection (about 50 - up to 1966) was recorded by Rudy, except the Mingus sessions which were recorded by Bob Simpson. I wonder why Thiele and/or Mingus didn't want to use RVG for those...? Edited October 6, 2004 by Z-Man Quote

Maybe Rudy didn't want to deal with Mingus rather than the other way around. That combination might have been too combustible. Quote

paul secor Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Byron Allen Trio (ESP) - Jacket has stereo crossed off and mono stamped on, but the LP is stereo. Quote
Clunky Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Jazz Europa- Stan getz with Martial Solal 1958 4tets and 5 tets, all recorded very nicely, live, not sure of the real provinence of these recordings. There is also a stray track by Bobby Jaspar/Donal Byrd 1958 Quote
brownie Posted October 6, 2004 Report Posted October 6, 2004 Quincy Jones 'This Is How I Feel About Jazz' (ABC-Paramount) So many superb solos in that album (Phil Woods, Charles Mingus on 'A Sleepin' Bee', Zoot Sims, Art Farmer, Milt Jackson on 'Evening in Paris', Paul Chambers and Lucky Thompson on 'Walkin''. All Lucky Thompson solos on that album are outstanding. So are Quincy Jones' arrangements. Quote
Leeway Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Someone I haven't listened to in quite a while, plucked this off the shelf, thought the title was apropos, as I've been doing a fair amount of "looking back" myself lately: London PS-562. I've always had mixed feelings about Mayall as a bluesman, but his sincerity and love of the form is apparent. Plus he had many of the best British musicians; it's great to hear the fiery young Eric Clapton, among such others as Jack Bruce, John McVie, et al. Quote

ajf67 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Sides 3 and 4 of Mal Waldron's Moods These are the solo sides of this double LP from Inner City Records, 1978. Relatively quiet, contemplative pieces, particularly titles like "Thoughtful" and "Lonely." Very nice stuff. Quote
Noj Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Out of the clear blue sky my Aunt Sharon from St. Louis dropped off two containers of records that belonged to my late Grandmother. For the most part I'm not all that interested in the titles. However, what there is is in fantastic condition. The prize of the batch is playing now, "Satchmo," Louis Armstrong's Greatest Hits. Produced by Armstrong himself, this accompanied his Signet Book autobiography. I'm not all that excited about getting a greatest hits compilation, but what's cool is the record sleeve was still turned sideways inside and revealed a brand new record. I'm the first to ever play it, but it must be over 30 years old! Catchy batch of tunes, some funny spoken moments from Armstrong. Really weird stuff in these crates, totally bizarre. Volumes 1-12 of "Golden Records Library: A Musical Heritage For Young America." The Harmonicats. Dancing At El Morrocco. Boston Pops Orchestra. A General MacArthur speech. The United States Bill Of Rights. Dan Dailey "Mr. Musical Comedy" (I shit you not)... 78s - Waltzes Of Vienna, Three Suns Moods, Bud Roman, Les Anthony, The Rhythmaires "Ballad Of Davy Crocket w/ Sheri Lynn "It May Sound Silly." Earl Sheldon...very cool to me to see Grandma had records, I never knew her. Anyway that's my fun for the evening, a bunch of dusty records. Quote
ajf67 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Anyway that's my fun for the evening, a bunch of dusty records.

ajf67 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Now playing a 1982 Discovery Records re-issue of an Interplay Records date: Warne Marsh Group with Sal Mosca, Sam Jones and Roy Haynes. Side one is in the studio in 1979 and side two is from a Sarah Lawrence Concert in 1977, where they play "Background Music" and "She's Funny That Way." Quote
sidewinder Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 Sonny Simmons 'Rumasuma' on Contemporary. Group includes Barbara Donald and Billy Higgins Quote
Leeway Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Continuing my Dolphy interest. A Prestige "2-fer" with "Outward Bound" and "Out There," remastered by Rudy Van Gelder. Good sound at a good price. Rummaging about in my shelves, came up with: Electric Flag-- one of those great psychedelic names. Mike Bloomfield, Buddy Miles, Nick Gravenites, et al. A spirited attempt to fuse rock, soul, blues, and even a little bit of jazz. Columbia CS9597. Quote
wolff Posted October 9, 2004 Author Report Posted October 9, 2004 Finally, set the stylus on my new(to me) Tristano, Konitz and Marsh Mosaic!!!! Quote

brownie Posted October 9, 2004 Report Posted October 9, 2004 Warne Marsh 'Ne Plus Ultra' (Revelation) It's always a pleasure to return to the sounds of this extraordinary musician. For the added tracks, will look for the HatArt reissue when it comes out. But I love the sound of this vinyl. Main engineering by Pete Welding! Quote
