rdavenport Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) From a charity shop today, a couple of out-of-the-ordinary LPs, 50p each (!) Roland Kirk - "Hip!" - a compilation on the UK Fontana label Charles Bell and the Contemporary Jazz Quartet - "Another Dimension" (1962) on Atlantic/London. I'd never heard of this group. Had a very quick listen, but needs cleaning up. Edited June 13, 2011 by rdavenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlitweiler Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Interesting LP I found last week for $10: "Initial Visit" by E. Parker McDougal from 1975 on Grits records. I'm not familiar with him, but it was still sealed and it is subtitled "Chicago Hard-Core jazz" and why not take a chance? The main players are (there are some personnel changes on a few tracks): Jay J. Peters - Tenor Sax E. Parker McDougal - Tenor Sax Willie Pickens - Piano Dan Shapera - Bass Steve McCall - Drums This is my first listen, but it is a nice, straight-ahead jazz session. Nothing fancy but good playing. I wish some of the songs were longer, because it seems like they fade out before they get really going. I've got a 45 RPM single from that session - picked up at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. I agree with your assessment: good, but not earth-shattering. A shame the tracks are abbreviated on Initial Visit - slightly longer tenor solos on McDougal's other LP, Blues Tour. McDougal was a very melodic post-Pres man who liked to stretch out and he was a joy to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 and I thought I was the only one with a defective copy That's the only Patton vinyl I'm missing - and going by the comments here it will probably stay that way (unless I luck out with a fluke find - zippo chance). Looks like the most reliable listening option on that session would be the Mosaic Select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the most reliable listening option on that session would be the Mosaic Select. The defect is a minor one. The groove skips at the start of Jimmy Ponder's intervention on 'Early A.M.'. All that is required is to lift the cartridge one groove away to continue to enjoy the music. Good exercise for elderly BN groovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Get the Trombones album if the condition (and price) is good. Love the music! The sound on the vinyl was superb, better than on the Mosaic set! Don't think this is really going to be "my thing" exactly, but DG had the trombones LP for $2, so I figured why not...

king ubu Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 not sure if any of them qualify as great finds, but I got them all in good to very good quality (that means "good" as in "good", not as in "unplayable" in that silly merikin vinyllingo which I don't get - good is good, dig?) and for very fair prices: Duke Ellington Presents the Dollar Brand Trio (Reprise) The Woody Herman Quartet - Swing Low, Sweet Clarinet (Philips) Jess Stacy and Friends 1938-1944 (London/Commodore Classics) Willie "The Lion" Smith - Composer-Entertainer (Commodore Classics) Keith Jarrett - Concerts (ECM 3LP) Jimmy Rushing - Rushing Lullabies (Philips UK) Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert (ECM 2LP) Keith Jarrett - Hymns Spheres (ECM 2LP) Sidney Bechet Sessions (Storyville) Dixieland with Ben Pollack and his Pick-a-Rib Boys featuring Jack Teagarden (Savoy) Art Hodes - Someone to Watch Over Me ("Live at Hanratty's") (Muse) Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (Impulse AS-30) as well as a 2LP set of Swiss jazz from 1935-65 with a few interesting cuts (and lots of amateur dixie bands that I could happily live without).

king ubu Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Can someone maybe help me determine if my "Duke Ellington & John Coltrane" is indeed an original pressing? There's a deep groove roughly where the outher black "frame" on the label begins. In the dead wax on side 1 are the following stamps: "AS 30A", "...? Sound" (very small, can't read the first word, it's in a tiny curly type) In the dead wax on side 2: "VAN GELDER", "AS-30 B" (originally handwritten), "STEREO", and "LW" (vertically, L on top of W), like: L W What's the meaning of that anyway? Seen it before... Further, on the labels as well as the back cover: "A PRODUCT OF ABC-PARAMOUNT RECORDS, INC." and "PRINTED IN U.S.A."

brownie Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Ubu, the label on your LP should look like this one (commonly referred as Impulse orange label) to be an original: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks - that's exactly how it looks! I guess around 10€ for this WAS quite a find, after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king ubu Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 today's haul: Jazz at Preservation Hall 1 - The Eureka Brass Band of New Orleans (Atlantic SD 1408) Barbara Donald and Unity - The Past and Tomorrows (CJR) Dizzy Gillespie - Vol. 1/2 (1946-1948) (Jazz Tribune N° 2) Illinois Jacquet - Genius at Work! (Black Lion) Kid Ory - Creole Jazz Band 1944/45 (Good Time Jazz L-12022) The Atlantic looks splendid, and the cover photo is great! #3 of the series was there, too, but cost about twice as much (I ended up getting a huge discount, so I should have taken it, too... but how could I have known...) The Gillespie is all on the 2CD set, but that one's very no-noised - except for a the Teddy Hill tracks, the Lionel Hampton track, the alternates from the Metronome All Stars, and a few cuts with Johnny Hartman, all of it is on the French double LP and I'm sure it will sound much better. The Donald I've seen elsewhere several times, but it always was a bit too pricey... and the Ory, finally... now I've got two of these Good Time Jazz LPs, already have the one from 1954 with Barney Kessel aboard. Oh, forgot the Jacquet... smokin' hot stuff in trio with Milt Buckner and Tony Crombie - played the first track and had to absolutely buy!

If I could only keep 10 albums, this might be one. It's been a while that I took that Mosaic out of the shelf, but if only for the cover, I had to get this one! It was marked 16 CHF (about 14$ currently, but it feels a lot less to me) but I ended up getting it for 10! today's haul: Don't, whatever you do, head over to the Vocalion thread... I'm rather out of danger as I'm more or less up to date there... excepting the new releases which are understandably not part of the sale...
