Back in the early 90's I had few (20 or so) good Blues albums on cassette most of which consisted of Albert Collins and Robert Cray.
I had the great pleasure of seeing Robert Cray at Merriweather Post Pavilion in DC back then, too.
A V enjoyable show, that one.Last edited by wkhanna; 17 October 2009, 08:59 Saturday.- Bottom

Latest lot.
Miles Davis 45 RPM boxset of Prestige Recordings. Doesn't get better than this. Miles, Coltrane, Chambers, Philly Joe Jones & Red Garland.
Clifford Brown Japanese Import title
Trio of Mingus titles. And the sadly forgotten bassist Doug Watkins. He was only 28 when he died. He was Paul Chambers' Cousin. Chambers died at 33 too. Watkins played on Sonny Rollin's Saxophone Colossus among other great albums.
My favorite poet/spoken word lyricist, Gil-Scott Heron!

I picked up that very same ‘Art Pepper meets the Rhythm Section’ just a few weeks ago.
Beautiful music, and terrific sonics, my only complaint was the hard R/L stereo mix.
But I got over that after about ten bars. :W- Bottom

Bill Evans - Quintessence
Harold Land, Kenny Burrell, Ray Brown, Philly Joe Jones
I just lucked into this one.
Absolute demo quality. It’s as if they are all in the room with me.
If it did not sound this good, you would say it was a SeeDee. Not even one C or P (click or pop).
I’ve spent $50 on new limited run pressings that don’t stand up next to this LP (Fantasy Stereo F-5295).
$4 well spent at Jerry's
Sometimes it’s better to lucky than smart.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

I have not figured out why ‘Debby’ get all the glory, this one is better IMHO.
You’re half way through the LP before you realize it is a live recording.
Not to say the ambiance of a live session is not there, but this one is absent of the extraneous clinking of glasses and crowd chatter while still having the ‘presence’ or ‘air’ of a live performance.- Bottom

Hadn't been to Jerry's in a while and maybe got carried away. But this time I decided not to leave anything behind in the hopes that it will be there on my next trip (and invariably they never are).
I saw this 10" Beethoven and just had to get it.

Looking good, I think I may be jumping into vinyl soon. Looking at a Pro-ject RM9.1 that I may grab. If I do then I'm going to be taking lots of trips to PGH just to go to Jerry's lol. Your collection has grown tons since I was last there!- Bottom

It has... I remember when it was less than 100 LPs... now's its well towards the 600 mark....
My how the collection has grown. And now that he's got a new laptop, he can finally catalog all of them (I think he was at 83 LPs when he left off), so that's alot of work he's got to do. I bet though it only takes a few months, maybe even before the end of the year! ha ha
Amazing how many LPs you can enter in when you are listening to them. :TDigital Audio makes me Happy.

Thanks to Dan’s expert advice and help I finally have a laptop. It’s no Ferrari, but more like and Audi, and has all the power I need for now. BTW, I like Win 7 so far. Thanks Dan!- Bottom

I just got a Pro-ject RM 5 SE. It is my first turntable and I have really enjoyed it! I'm sure the RM 9.1 would be totally boss!
To keep in the spirit of the thread - I'm listening to AC/DC "Back in Black."

You can say I have a bit of a problem with my vinyl expenditure. It's like crack! Listening to the 45 rpm version Power of the Orchestra now, and WOW!! Mostly 45 rpm stuff.
Here's my latest haul.

Happy New Year folks. :T
Got some new 45 rpms in.
John Coltrane Quartet - Crescent (ORG)
Little tidbit. The pic in the gatefold insert was used as the cover for the A Love Supreme album.
Jackie McLean - Swing, Swang, Swangin' (Music Matters)
Ben Webster - See You At the Fair (Analogue Productions)
Oliver Nelson - The Blues And The Abstract Truth (Analog Productions) - The lineup speaks for itself here, look at the names on the cover! Talk about a dream team of talent.

Got a few records. Before I go further, I just want to make a quick note about Christian McBride & his band, Inside Straight. These guys are consummate pros and are the real deal! I've seen McBride a few times, and he never disappoints. His latest album, Kind of Brown is great. I picked up the 210gram double lp version naturally. It's a limited run, so once it's sold out, that's it.
I took some pics of him performing on Tuesday. To say he killed it is an understatement. His bass playing on the Freddie Hubbard song, "Theme For Kareem" was amazing.
The sax player was incredible.
On to the records.
Christian McBride - Kind of Brown
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me - 45 RPM - Classic Records (Clarity Vinyl)
Gil Evans Orchestra - Out of the cool - 45 RPM (Analogue Productions)
Hank Mobley - Roll Call - 45 RPM (Music Matters)
Horace Parlan - Spur of the moment - 45 RPM (Music Matters)
Freddie Hubbard - Open Sesame - 45 RPM (Music Matters)

As always, btf1980, your latest additions are superlative, IMHO.
I'm just glad the holidays are over so I can devote time for my personal passion.
On the platter tonight:

This one starts with a calypso style on the lead track, then reverts to a more standard Ellington sound, but with more of an improvisational and free feel than typical for Duke’s iron fisted adhesion to the set score.
Coleman’s sax is full and sensual with a burlesque quality while still maintaining the feel of a serious man in control of a high-powered weapon. He just uses it with a less aggressive intent. The both of them seem to have been in a playful mood.
I'll have what their drinking, please.- Bottom

Just got the John Coltrane Heavyweight Champion boxset. These are his complete recordings on Atlantic.
Booklet is pretty informative.
The titles.
Double lp of outtakes from his various Atlantic sessions.

Aside from being a phenomenal double LP, this Gillespie/Getz 1977 French pressing Polydor issue on the Verve label holds great sentimental value seeing as I hand-carried it back from a trip to Paris two years ago after spending a delightful time introducing myself and getting to know the proprietor of that town’s best used vinyl store, Crocojazz.
With contributions from the likes of Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, Max Roach, Sonny Stitt, Stan Levey & John Lewis, this mid 50’s era recording has it all. The right time, the right place, the quintessential style that defines a milestone in jazz history; it’s all here along with surprisingly good sonic quality. Credit Norm Granz & Bob Ludwig for facilitating what I consider a Masterwork.

Reason I ask is I have bought a few of the DVD-A Crimson remasters lately, and have a British Polydor import of Lark's Tongues and an American copy of Court of the Crimson King on vinyl, both about 28 years old and in good shape to unload. Not looking for much for them, basically just looking for someone who will appreciate them.- Bottom

Originally posted by Brandon BI'm a Moody's fan as well. In fact, my wife's dad was manager of their label for a while.
I would wager he has few interesting stories to tell about his time in the music business. That time was an era like no other.
I would gratefully welcome your classic pressings into my well cared for library.
Shoot me a PM & I am sure we can make a mutually agreeable arrangement.- Bottom

I already have the OPT Night Train, but sadly it is in poor condition and needs replaced. A real favorite with all the Duke Ellington tunes. I keep it in my rack for what I call a 'Place Holder'. Those are LP's that are of poor condition but rather than sell or trade them, I keep them as a reminder that I must get a new copy in better condition.- Bottom

Very interesting.........From Wiki:
The Budos Band
Origin Staten Island, New York, USA
Genres Afro-beat, Funk, Jazz, Soul
Years active 2005 – present
Labels Daptone Records
Associated acts Antibalas, Menahan Street Band, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, El Michels Affair, Lee Fields & The Expressions
Website http://thebudos.com
The Budos Band are an "Instrumental Staten-Island Afro-Soul" outfit recording on the Daptone Records label. The band has eleven members (up to thirteen members at times) who play instrumental music that is self-described as "Afro-Soul," a term and sound which - in a recent interview - baritone saxophone player Jared Tankel elucidates as, being drawn from Ethiopian music the band had been listening to that had a soul undercurrent to it, which the band then "sprinkled a little bit of sweet 60's stuff on top" of.[1]
Jazz, deep funk, Afro-beat, and soul influences can be heard in the Budos Band albums, both of which are Daptone Records releases recorded at the label's own studio, Daptone's House of Soul, in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Numerous other funk and soul outfits appear on the same label including: The Mighty Imperials, Sugarman 3, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, plus others.- Bottom
