John L Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 And from Amazon.com Now this is really interesting. I’m about three quarters through disc 1. This is VERY restrained jump music which sounds to me like it might have been a big influence on the early R&B jump band leaders like Jordan, Liggins and Milton (but they weren’t restrained). Very enjoyable! MG An interesting observation. I agree. The recordings that Stuff Smith was doing with Jonah Jones at the time are less restrained, and sound even more like proto-Louis Jordan. Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Postman was a bit late today, but brought me two CDs from Hiroshi. Charles Kynard Charles Williams I forgot to order these when they came out a couple of months ago! MG Quote
AndrewHill Posted August 22, 2007 Report Posted August 22, 2007 Things that I've been meaning to get for quite some time... Gnu High: Kenny Wheeler A very good one. Will have to pull my copy out as I haven't played it in years. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 24, 2007 Report Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) Two grandsons overrunning us for the last couple of days! So yesterday, along came Etta Jones – My mother’s eyes. This was reissued by Savoy Jazz a few years ago. Great to have this, as my LP was bought exceptionally 2nd hand! King Britt – When the funk hits the fan Someone posted that they were playing this a few days ago. Can’t remember who it was, but thank you whoever! This is music. This is good music! This is good music that is consistently interesting. Well, it’s a decade old, so it doesn’t tell you where we are, but it certainly tells you where we’ve been recently. And today, this one turned up Harlem Art Ensemble – Live in New York – Explore EXP0027 – Harold Ousley, Lonnie Smith, Jimmy Ponder and Bruno Carr. This is as good as you’d expect it to be, plus a little bit more. It came out three weeks ago, apparently for the first time. It was recorded live in August 1990, produced by Teruo Nakamura, probably for the Japanese Cheetah label – Lonie guested on some albums produced and led by him in the late seventies. But according to Doug Payne’s Lonnie Smith discography, this is the first release of this material – it sez that on the sleeve, too, but you know what they say... (The Harlem Art Ensemble made another album, for the Japanese label Ninety-nine, in May 1992, with Teruo Goto instead of Harold Ousley, and Harry Whitaker on synths. I haven’t got that one.)

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Postman was a bit late today, but brought me two CDs from Hiroshi. Charles Kynard Charles Williams I forgot to order these when they came out a couple of months ago! MG Hey MG, how much were these? I've never ordered from Hiroshi. These aren't cheap releases - they were 5460 yen for the pair including post. On Paypal's currency conversion, that was £25.46, which is not much more than you'd pay in the shops here for one Japanese CD. I reckon he's a good deal for British customers where pretty well everywhere sells Japanese CDs for the same price. Perhaps in the US there are better deals available than over here - I should think so. I see Dusty Groove have these at $24.99 each, plus post, which isn't a lot more expensive than Hiroshi - when they can get 'em; they're out of stock at present. MG Quote

MG Happened to stumble over this today and couldn't resist. This label makes nice reissues, ordered a Hummel pianoforte disc by Malcolm Binns along with it. And bought an Estrado Brothers CD on ebay. So much for my buying hiatus to save money for our new car ..... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 25, 2007 Report Posted August 25, 2007 Not much in the way of images on the web for today’s haul Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis & Johnny Griffin – Tough tenors back again – Storyville Thanks Shawn! It turned up just before I left for a sweltering shopping trip to Pontypridd, so I listened to it on the way. Wow! Even hotter than the bus! In Ponty, my man Terry had this for me The complete recorded works of Rev J M Gates vol 9 1934-1941 This completes my set of all Gates’ work, which I started buying in February 2006! MG Quote
