Something's going on in the Jazz LP reissue market that y'all should be hipped to. I've recently picked up a tidy number of reissues of phenomenal late 50's, 60's and early 70's records that have been out of print for decades. These records were originally from many different labels, have all original style packaging, and give no indication of their more recent origins. The vinyl is of good quality and the pressings are flat and without stamper defects. I've been buying them for $7 a piece from my local record store. Many of these are records that collectors have been searching for for decades. A few tasty examples:
ÂDave Burns - Warming Up (Vanguard) - This guy was one of Diz's favorite trumpet players in the late 50's and early 60's. He has great tone and intonation. His solos are compact, and imaginative but not showy in the Lee Morgan sense of things. He is also a very fine composer as the two originals, "Slippers" and "Rigor Mortez" attest. The supporting cast is stellar; Al Grey, Harold Mabern, Bobby Mitchell, et al. This is as fine a slice of post-bop as you are likely to find.
ÂRoy Haynes with Booker Ervin - Cracklin' (New Jazz) Booker Ervin has to be one of the most underrated tenor saxophonists in Jazz history. Everyone worships Coltrane (justifiably) but who out there really sounds like him? I hear Booker Ervin in just about everybody. Roy, of course is well recognized as the percussion deity that he is. "Scoochie" should be essential listening for all modern practitioners of the art.
ÂWild Bill Davis - At Birdland (Epic) This one will be a big surprise to everyone that thinks that modern Jazz organ began with Jimmy Smith. This guy could burn! Although clearly more closely tied to Swing than Jimmy, some of Jimmy's more frequently used phrases turn up here. Hmmm. I'm guessing that Jimmy "borrowed" alot from Wild Bill. This is a live set, and Wild Bill's clearly intent on pleasing the crowd (a la Jazz at the Philharmonic), so some things sound a bit corny. Its happy music that I play alot. |
Ralph, I love your eclectic tastes! To move from Gorilla to Palestrina to Bola reflects broad horizons. Thanks for the lift! |
Tonight:
Low "The Great Destroyer" (their latest is also their best)
Porcupine Tree "Deadwing" (Dude!)
the Gorillas "Demon Days"
Thomas Tallis Scholars "Palestrina Masses Missa Benedicta Es" (Gimell Records) - simply the best series of Palestrina Masses yet recorded...
Bola "Soup" a modern electronic classic...
the *new* Sigur Res I can't read Icelandic but this stuff rules! Gorgeous. |
Frank Zappa. live at the roxy
Tom Waits. rain dogs
Johnny Cash. American manIII (i see a darkness x2or3 times)
Elliot Smith. From a basement on the hill
Willie Nelson. Stardust, just got this on classic, and have been driving my girlfriend a little mad with too many replays. |
Mahler "Symphony No. 1" Solti/LSO (London CS 6401) |
tonight:
Leroy Jodie Pierson (APO 005) New release from Chad Kassem's Blue Heaven Studios, recorded direct-to-disc.
Bill Evans "The Tokyo Concert" (Fantasy F-9457)
Oscar Peterson Trio w/Milt Jackson "Very Tall" (Verve V-8429)
Beethoven "String Quintets Opp. 4 & 104" Suk Quartet/Karel Spelina (viola) (Supraphon 1 11 2128) |
Albert,
I bought the Jodie Leroy Pierson disc from Chad in NY myself. Stunning realism, and a lot of fun to listen to.
Both releases highly recommended! |
Emmylou Harris and Daniel Lanois, "Wrecking Ball", Cost me plenty to get this on LP, BUT I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE IT ! Also, just bought the two new direct to disc releases in NYC (Stereophile Show) from Chad at Acoustic Sounds. Amazing recordings and superb music. New Direct to Disc from Chad |
Wow..I came back to find no postings in almost a month?? Okay, Ill get this going again guys!
Tonight is a Steely Dan night... Katy Lied..orig MCA 1975
Aja..ABC 1977.... and Pretzel Logic MCA 1980.. Last is Diane Schuur's Collection on GRP. |
Thanks Rush...Ill be looking for the Waterlily as well. Well... Joe..what else tonight but the aforementioned "Songs my Mother Taught Me"..and Acoustic Alchemy's "Natural Elements" on the MCA 42125. Webb and Carmicheal let loose with a mix of upbeat and somber melodies on this digital recording. |
If you enjoy Delmoni's playing, you may also enjoy his recording on Waterlily 05 performing works of Bach, Ysaye and Kreisler (wonderful sonics, too); his recording of the Franck and Faure Sonatas Violin and Piano on Northstar DS0015; and his collaboration with Nathaniel Rosen on "Glass Bead Game" (John Marks 15, CD only unfortunately).
And, if you like Delmoni's playing style, you may also enjoy the cello playing of Nathaniel Rosen (who partners with Delmoni on Glass Bead Game). A recording of Rosen's that is well worth looking for is "Oriental - Various Short Works for Cello" (NorthStar NS 0027).

Ken,
You are so right! when I first acquired this, the first few plays were good, but I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about. The more I listen, to his technique and the emotion he puts into a work, regardless of who he is playing with, the more this disc has grown on me. |
SlipknotI -- I really like "Songs my Mother Taught me" by Arturo Delmoni(1986). When I first found this copy used a few years back..I chuckeled to myself and thought...Okay, what the heck! $2.00 is no big loss.... I didn't know Id be playing it so often and how wondeful this guy plays. He was a child prodigy born in NYC and entered Julliard as a Naumberg Scholar as you probably know. What a delightful recording and Violin playing genius exhibited here, with this recording dedicated to his Mother and father. |
Tonite it looks like Return to Forever "Romantic Warrior" Japan 25AP 55, followed by Chicagos Greatest Hits (Columbia USA) then Toto Farenheit, and if theres still time left I just found a copy of Glenn Frey The Allnighter QuiexII Promo. That should do it! Maynard Ferguson "Storm" Nautilus CD in the transport right now. |
Arturo Delmoni "Songs My Mother Taught Me" (North Star DS0004) Arturo Delmoni, violin and Meg Bachman Vas, piano. A collection of short works by the likes of Kreisler, Smetana, Dvorak, Mendelssohn, etc. Simply recorded with two microphones at Holy Trinity Church in NYC.
F.J. Haydn "Harmoniemesse" Mass in B flat. Academy of St.Martin-in-the-Fields/Choir of St. John's College Cambridge (Argo ZRG 515) This is another one of those recordings you come across that are surprising. I have come to discover that recordings from the Argo lable have a lot to offer. The two I have been listening to; this one and the Holst "Savitri" are both works for voice and both feature great artists and wonderful performances that capture the acoustic space in which they were performed.
Arthur Salvatore has several Argo works on his list, and while I find myself in disagreement with his choices in equipment, more times than not I find that a lot of his music recommendations are in my collection, and I find myself searching out those I don't have. |

Carole King / Tapestry 45 rpm LP
.
. Midori / Zukerman - Bach/Vivaldi Violin Concertos - Philips - LP

Conte Candoli "Sincerely Conte" Bethelehem BCP-1036
And later ...
Donald Byrd "Byrd's eye view" Transition TRLP-4
Then maybe a little Hank Mobley ... maybe it's time to hear 1568 again. |
"Gershwin- An American in Paris..Leonard Slatkin" Marvelous recording! Another great example of the exceptional work done by the Aubort/Nickrenz team for Vanguard and Nonesuch. These Vanguard recordings that were reissued by Reference Recordings are well worth seeking out. Agree with Ken completely.
. |
RR recording(Rm-1005) of Gershwin- An American in Paris..Leonard Slatkin & St.Louis Symp....light and easy with exceptional soundstaging and wonderful full bass.
Next up is Classical Records(LSC 2298) Borodin..Symphony No.2
Rimsky-Korsakoff...Capriccio Espagnole March from "Tsar Saltan" LSO. Very nicely done.
Phoebe Snow(self titled) Shelter records SR2109. Love that Harpo's Blues and Poetry Man.
Ending with: Allison Krauss + Union Station Rounder/Diverse 2001...Great stuff indeed!
I just upgraded all my IC's to RSA Poiema! what a sweet, dynamic IC with the best bass Ive yet heard from the Aries2/JMW10/ ZYX FS |
Thanks gents! I have a coupla more titles on my shopping list. KOB and Sketches really get it done for me, so I am likely to stick with that style. I guess it's the pre-electric acoustic Miles I am after... |
Actually, KOB, Sketches, and Bag's Groove aren't much like each other either, and that's a defining aspect of Miles' body of work overall. Neither would I consider BOTC to be particularly similar to any of the above for that matter. I'm not much of one for the electric material from In A Silent Way going forward, but briefly would recommend the titles Miles Ahead, Cookin', and E.S.P. if you don't have any of them already. Each one of those also represents a different period and group, with Miles Ahead being more like Sketches, Cookin' more like Bag's Groove, and E.S.P. representing the post-KOB, pre-Bitches Brew acoustic Miles. Check out Sdcampbell's posts on this general subject for a detailed examination. |
Joe,
Birth of the Cool is a good title similar in many ways to the ones you've mentioned.
However because it's not at all like them, you've also got to check out Bitches Brew. It's the jazz equivalent of Dylan going electric in '66. A chaotic, mesmerizing tornado of sound with many of the later era electric jazz icons: Corea, McLaughlin, Shorter, Lenny White, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette.
It ain't no easy listen, but it's something to behold. With the volume way up! Cheers,
Spencer |
Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue" (Columbia CS 8163) Listened to two different Classic Records reissues tonight. first the 200 gram, then the 45 rpm reissue.
I never tire of listening to this masterpiece. The line up of performers and the selection of music for this album are first rate and perfect for lower volume late night listening. This recording introduced me to Miles Davis, and I have added to my collection "Sketches of Spain", "Bag's Groove" and a few others.
I would ask the more enlightened and experienced posters here to please recommend other Miles Davis recordings similar in style to the above. I also have the better known Coltrane releases as well as almost all of Bill Evans' work as well, but would like to explore Davis a little more. Thanks. |
Getting an early start on a rainy Saturday in the East:
Roger Waters "Radio KAOS" (Columbia 40795) Interesting work. A bit of a spill over from some of "The Wall" in that Waters continues to explore the numbing effects of the media, in particular radio and television. Shades of what is to come in the now legendary (for sonics) "Amused To Death" Side 2 opens with a large dog barking off to the left as a transistor radio DJ voice begins in the right speaker and moves to the center. Some will argue that Water's solo works are over-indulgent drivel, but his production values are second to none. No excuse if the music is lousy, but sometimes sonics are fun in and of themselves.
Pink Floyd "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" (Columbia 40599) Too many have dismissed the post-Waters Pink Floyd efforts.
I would invite you to give a listen this LP. "Learning To Fly" and "Sorrow" show some of the spark of the DSOTM and WYWH years.
Supertramp "Paris" (A&M SP-6702) Great live LP, with quiet surfaces and good dynamics. Supposedly the one to get your hands on of this LP is a Canadian pressing. They are alleged to best the excellent Japanese pressings.
Next up:
A Polycarbinate: Pink Floyd "Division Bell" Only because I don't have the LP. The most underated and oft-dismissed of the post-Waters era. I enjoy it's rather cynical look at human relationships. A nice break from the Big Brother, government, media, nihlism Waters is so famous for. |
ÂSharon Jones and the Dap Kings - Dap Dippin' etc.: Brooklyn based funk outfit with FAT bass lines and great horn-based groove. Clearly inspired by JB but they also have their own greasy, funky thing going on. Sharon is a hurricane of a front woman. The louder the better.
ÂAudioslave - Bought this on my son's recommendation and like it better than I thought I would based on what I heard on his system and the radio. Absolutely murders the CD, which has not been the case with Rage Against the Machine's LPs. The mating of Chris Cornell with the RATM rhythm kings doesn't always work, but creates a fatter, deeper groove than RATM when it does. Show Me How to Live is a good example.
ÂJoy of Cooking - A San Francisco hippy group from the early 70s that played a gently cooking bluesy-jazz-rock hybrid. Songs are quite good but the reason to listen to this one is the awesome Terry Garthwaite. Had vocal qualities that were reminiscent of Janis Joplin but without that center-of-the-earth power. Because of that she used a more nuanced approach. Brownsville Mockingbird is a great tune. |
All this talk of Roland Kirk has me playing The Jaki Byard Experience (Prestige), with Kirk on reeds. It's a terrific LP (also now on CD). It also features Richard Davis on bass. I was lucky enough to catch Kirk at the Village Vanguard back in 1973 when I was right out of college. It was around the time he released "Bright Moments," and he used a lot of those songs to really stretch out. Incrediable musician. I had to catch a train so couldn't stay for the end of the second set, to my lasting regret. |
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way
Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin (Japanese Pressing)
Joni Mitchell - Hejira |
Patrica Barber Cafe Blue 45rpm and Alica Keys LP |
Mingus and me are tight :-) |
Zaikes,
Roland Kirk's The Inflated Tear came out in 1967, selling 10k copies in the first year(pretty big for a jazz LP then). It was his first LP for Atlantic.
Check this link for a nice synopsis on his discography:
http://www.mp3.com/albums/55944/summary.html
Their summary of The inflated Tear - "This is Roland Kirk at his most poised and visionary; his reading of azz harmony and fickle sonances are nearly without peer. And only Mingus understood Ellington in the way Kirk did. That evidence is here also. If you are looking for a place to start with Kirk, this is it."
I also own "Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata", but wouldn't recommend it nearly as much.
The Domino re-issue is near the top of my shopping list.
If you haven't already, I strongly suggest digging into Charles Mingus, an obvious influence on Kirk, and a genius in his own right.
Regards,
Spencer |
Rushton: You're welcome, and likewise on your own posts, even though classical obviously isn't (and I'm afraid never will be) my main bag. I never did see much point in simply enumerating disks listened-to without also commenting on them to some degree if possible.
Spencer: Have you heard the other Kirk titles I listed? For whichever you have, what is your opinion on those? And when was "The Inflated Tear" recorded and for what label? |
Zaikesman, as always, I'm continuing to enjoy your posts with such great background information on the music and artists. Thank you!
. |
Alex,
"The Inflated Tear" is another excellent title by Roland Kirk. Unfortunately, my cheapo reissue is pretty noisy. I keep hoping that somebody does a nice quality reissue of this. The 45rpm treatment would be great on this album.
Cheers,
Spencer |
Roland Kirk - Domino [Verve Master Edition expanded CD reissue 2000, orig. Mercury stereo LP 1962] Considering how tough it would probably be to find a copy of the original record, unless you're very knowledgable or very fortunate, this could be one of the best classic jazz albums you've never heard. That's certainly how it struck me when I discovered this recently - I already owned a two-LP compilation of some of his later stuff on I believe Atlantic that never grabbed me all that much, but this set is a different story altogether. Kirk is perhaps best remembered for his astonishing ability to simultaneously play three horns at once, a tenor and two unorthodox instruments I gather he basically made up out of modified old saxophones, which he called a "manzello" and a "stritch". Ian Anderson fanatics also take note, Kirk was apparently the first to gain notice playing flute mixed with voice; a nose flute and siren whistle round out his stable of noisemakers here. Kirk, fresh off a stint with Mingus, is accompanied by a band including pianists Andrew Hill, Wynton Kelly, and Herbie Hancock from different recording dates, plus drummer Roy Haynes and others. Kirk alone handles all the wind instruments, changing over within songs at a flash, and playing unison lines himself on two or three together. Sometimes dismissed as a 'gimmick' player for his multi-horn and circular-breathing techniques, this record offers powerful evidence to the contrary; it's melodic, swinging, energetic, succinct, distinctive yet varied (from modal to funky to sweetly reflective, with the occasional brief embellishment of raucous free form), and above all greatly enjoyable music made by an artist with a clear, purposeful vision. Highly recommended to fans of post-bop small-band jazz, the remaster sounds great, and several of the bonus cuts are worthy additions to the ten originally included. This was Kirk's second record as leader (first with his regular band), and I fully intend to check out his debut ("We Free Kings") and subsequent releases ("Reeds And Deeds", "Rip, Rig, And Panic"), as listed in the updated liner notes. |
Level 42, World Machine last night. A classic. |

Recapitulating some recent spins...
Gloria Jones - Come Go With Me [Uptown mono LP, 1965] Pop-soul singer best known for the original version of "Tainted Love" (an international smash for synth-wave duo Soft Cell in the early 80's), here in her album debut, produced and written-for by the versatile Ed Cobb, who's known more for his work with garage rockers The Standells and The Chocolate Watch Band (and had once been a member of the easy listening vocal group The Four Preps!). Jones later married glam-rocker Marc Bolan of T. Rex.
The Isley Brothers - Soul On The Rocks [Tamla stereo LP, 1967] They were only associated with Motown for several singles and two LPs, the other being the hit-single-entitled "This Old Heart Of Mine". This one features "Got To Have You Back", covered in the early 80's by Ireland's The Undertones.
Esther Phillips - Set Me Free [Atlantic 2LP compilation, 1986] Collection spanning 1964-1970, presented in original mono and stereo with unreleased bonus tracks.
Tyrone Davis - Can I Change My Mind [Dakar stereo LP, 1969] His debut preceded big hit "Turn Back The Hands Of Time".
The Manhattans - Dedicated To You [Carnival mono LP, 1965] Long-running soul stalwarts' debut. Any record featuring "The Boston Monkey", "Manhattan Stomp", and "Teach Me (The Philly Dog)" is A-OK by me.
Little Junior Parker - Driving Wheel [MCA reissue LP, orig. Duke label LP 1962] Outstanding rhythm & blues from the "Mystery Train" man, with fantastic sound to boot, was re-ished more than once, snag on sight.
Andre Benichou - Jazz Guitar Bach [Nonesuch mono LP, mid-60's] More like 'Surf Guitar Bach' with all that reverb and twang, plus groovy supporting group The Well-Tempered Three. Hey, if it was good enough for Edward Tatnall Canby to write the liners, who can turn up a snooty nose? Love the transcriptions and this record.
Memphis Slim - Rockin' The Blues [Charly import CD, 1992] Collected late 50's Vee-Jay sides of the pianist/singer featuring the smokin' guitar of Matt Murphy, who you might recall from the Blues Brothers movie.
Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye [Blue Note reissue CD 1994, orig. 1965] With Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, and Ron Carter among others. Nat Hentoff's liners state that the title refers to God looking over the universe before His act of Creation (but isn't that a logical contradiction?). By turns thematic and free-form, more cacophonous and less obviously song-oriented and swinging than most of Shorter's contemporaneous work, can be challenging or even irrating but has its rewards for the patient and adventuresome.
Milt Jackson - Statements [Impulse! expanded reissue CD 1993, orig. 1962] With Hank Jones, Paul Chambers, and Connie Kay from one session; Jimmy Heath, Tommy Flanagan, and Richard Davis plus Kay from another. This is certainly a nice record, but overall I think I prefer his Atlantic sides.
Dinah Washington - What A Diff'rence A Day Makes [Mercury CD reissue 1984, orig. 1959] Those who hold that CDs made so early in the game will invariably sound unlistenable should avoid this one, which although it doesn't sound like an LP, does sound like it probably offers a pretty good view of the mastertape.
Get With The Beat - The Mar-Vel' Masters/A Lost Decade Of American Rock And Roll [Rykodisc CD, 1989] Amazing collection of hillbilly obscurities from the 50's and 60's recorded by producer/honcho Harry Glenn for his Indiana-based Mar-Vel' ("Hits Of Tomorrow, Recorded Today") and associated labels, and originally compiled on the Cowboy Carl label in the mid-70's. Highly recommended for all fans of raw'n'rural rockabilly and honky tonk, with great, honest small-studio high fidelity sound in the manner of Buddy Holly's New Mexico sides.
Wynder K. Frog - Out Of The Frying Pan [Edsel/Island reissue CD, 1995, orig. 1968] Brit session organist Mick Weaver's public alter ego - funky, jazzy instro covers and originals, produced by Gus Dudgeon and Jimmy Miller. Good fun.
The Rolling Stones - Metamorphosis [Abkco reissue CD, 2002] The first of the DSD remasters that I've tried, so of course I decided to start with the oddest duck in the catalog. I don't have an SACD player, and I haven't yet had a chance to compare this to the LP.
Jason Falkner - Author Unknown [Elektra CD, 1996] I was never a big Jellyfish fan, but I do dig about a good half of what's here (mostly the first half). One-man-band post-everthing power-pop of some considerable musical ingenuity and accomplishment, if not necessarily emotional impact.
Outkast - Stankonia [LaFace/Arista CD, 2000] This is about as 'down' as I get with rap today.
Ralph Vaugh Williams - Film Music/RTE Concert Orchestra (Dublin)/Andrew Penny [Marco Polo CD, 1995] Themes and cues from the presumably British movies "49th Parallel", "Story Of A Flemish Farm", "Coastal Command", and "Three Portraits From The England Of Elizabeth". Never seen any of 'em, though apparently the composer scored music for 11 films in all, and I haven't seen or heard any of the others either. Hey, if it's not on Turner Classic Movies...but I have a feeling that this is the better way to enjoy the music. |
Loggins and Messina "On Stage"...love that Angry Eyes. |
Yep, Esoxhntr, these bad habits are hard to kick. ;-)
And my turntable complains for lack of exercise on these nights. Cheers! |
Rushton:
Slumming with live musicians again, huh? Pathetic.... |
|
Nothing on the turntable, resorted to the Philadelphia Orchestra, with Christoph Eschenbach conducting, live at the Kimmel Center:
Smetana: Dances from the Bartered Bride
Grieg: Five Orchestral Songs (with Barbara Bonney, soprano)
Dvorak: Symphony No. 7
Well played tonight! Some of the best music making we've yet heard Eschenbach and the Orchestra make together since his arrival as music director. (OK, the Mahler 9th a few weeks ago was pretty good, too.) Barbara Bonney was in great voice on the Grieg songs. One of those concerts you just don't want to end...
And the Curtis Institute of Music students return from spring break next week with a full slate of free evening recitals - oh, that music lovers can be so lucky!
