jazzbo Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 I too wonder how Redd survived--perhaps he eked out a living playing sporadically in NYC. Wiki calls him an "autodidact" and he does sound self-taught to me (takes one to know one). I never know he played organ on James Taylor's "Carolina in my Mind"!

Rabshakeh Posted December 28, 2022 Report Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) Sex Mob – Dime Grind Palace (Ropeadope, 2003) Haven't heard much from Steven Bernstein recently. I always liked the feel of records like this and Diaspora Soul. Genuinely sleazy music. Edited December 28, 2022 by Rabshakeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I think that Frank Morgan who has top billing here was completlly unknown to me during a time, when Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Mulgrew Miller, Ron Carter and Al Foster were some of my top favourites whom I had seen live in various surroundings. I´ll have to ask Allan more about Frank Morgan..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Urs Leimgruber, Joëlle Léandre, Fritz Hauser – No Try No Fail (Hat, 1997) An absolute personal fav from my younger days (it coincided with my first interest in jazz and improv). I spent a lot of time listening to it in Summer 2020, and it was a kind of soundtrack for when my daughter was first born (headphones only, with all respect to my wife). Always good to return to it.

jazzbo Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 I’m back to serious listening after a hiatus as my wife was off from Thursday last week til today. Started off with “Thelonious Monk Big Band and Quartet in Concert” from a gold disc sold by High Density Tape Transfers, a “gray market” firm that transfers in high density from tapes that are out of copyright, mostly classical and some jazz. Though they will sell numerous download in differing formats from DSD 256 down I don’t do files. . . they also offer Redbook options. Interestingly though this has the same material as the LP I am not sure what tape they use as the drum solos are intact that were edited out of the original release. Never-the-less I must say that the sound is excellent, better than the Columbia (expanded) 2 cd set. I also have Duke Ellington’s “Indigos” from them that sounds quite good, if not quite as transformed as this one. 700×713 52.9 KB I followed that up with the newly released XRCD24 disc from Audio Wave of the Stanley Turrentine Blue Note “Look Out!” Now onto a disc I haven’t played in a long time, Clark Terry “Duke with a Difference” Riverside/OJC cd. 600×592 39.3 KB Like an addict who needed a fix, I feel pretty good listening at length this morning; the system sounds fantastic!

Rabshakeh Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Milt Buckner Trio with Jo Jones – Play Chords (SABA, 1966) Something about young and spruce Milt Buckner's pose on the cover really reminds me of George Costanza from Seinfeld.

jazzbo Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Paul Gonsalves “Ellington Moods and Blues” RCA Victor cd I had to play another Ellington related disc. . .Duke gets under my skin. And I love Gonsalves’ playing! Paul Gonsalves - Tenor Saxophone Johnny Hodges - Alto Saxophone Booty Wood - Trombone Ray Nance - Trumpet Jimmy Jones - Piano Al Hall - Bass Oliver Jackson - drums Recorded February 29, 1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 The Duke Ellington Centennial Edition: The Complete RCA Victor Recordings (1927-1973) disc 21 "The Far East Suite" It has been too long since I cracked open this set, and I'm on an Ellington kick right now.
