So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

[jazzbo]

I've had this "Blow Up" for a long time although it's been in storage about ten years. It was not recorded by Blue Note hence it was not released at the time. I remember it sounding live, all of it. . . but I have heard it in some time. Good music.

In this pile of rare CDs, there was an unusual Hutcherson/Land CD called "Blow Up" on JMY that I had never seen before. Discogs lists it as an "Unofficial release". This is very good stuff. Some of the tracks sound like they were recorded in a studio. Why wasn't this released back then? This is really good stuff. Highly recommended.

And I must be losing it because at one point when I was listening to it, I had to check the discogs listing again because I could swear that the tenor player was Joe Henderson.

Excellent ....

I’m listening to this disc yet again, I’m stuck here for now in this box set.

The dynamics in this 'fifties mono recording keep impressing me. And the music really connects me lately. I’ll move forward in this box set soon.

The Westminster engineers were masters of the so called 'One-point microphone' technology (also used successfully by Mercury at that time) ....

I believe it. . .all that I have heard from Westminster is excellent sounding.

Seldon Powell - Seldon Powell Sextet (Roost). This another one of those Japanese CDs I found in the piles at a store the other day. I was told they were from the estate of a huge jazz fan. It made me a bit sad going through his stuff as I could picture someone else doing this with my collection at some point in the (hopefully distant) future.
