Leonard Cohen, "10 New Songs"

neobop · « **Reply #7643 on:** 18 Aug 2016, 03:14 am »

1966 Columbia

Miles Davis — Trumpet
George Coleman — Tenor
Herbie Hancock — Piano
Ron Carter — Bass
Tony Williams — Drums

This was recorded live at the Philharmonic in '64. George Coleman is smokin on tenor, sounding like Trane. This is a killer live album, not to be missed. Where Kind of Blue is moody and lyrical, this flies.

1957 Atlantic

Bill Hardman – trumpet
Johnny Griffin – tenor
Thelonious Monk – piano
Spanky DeBrest – bass
Art Blakey – drums

This album really is a pleasure. Monk sounds great and his sense of humor lightens up this session of his tunes, and 1 by Griffin.
This is a 180g DMM reissue on Wax Time. Quiet pressing, at $17 (Amazon) - seems like a bargain these days.

Love this album - first pressing!!

Donald's best LP, IMO. Another great Byrd performance is on this Dexter LP:

1965 Blue Note

Dexter Gordon - tenor saxophone
Donald Byrd - trumpet
Kenny Drew - piano
Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen - bass
Art Taylor - drums

Only 2 tracks w/trumpet on "One Flight UP", but both LPs have a lyrical, soaring quality. Solid swinging and great tunes leave you wanting more.

I've got a copy of "One Flight UP" on the way... blue label; the first pressing was just too pricey

One of the best progressive rock records of all time.

1978 Galaxy

Johnny Griffin (tenor sax)
Ronnie Mathews (piano)
Ray Drummond (bass)
Keith Copeland (drums)

This album swings. They really nail it - great fun.

1967 Black Lion

Johnny Griffin - tenor
Kenny Drew - piano
Nils Henning Orsted Pederson - bass
Albert "Tootie" Heath - drums

This is a live session recorded at the Jazzhuis, Copenhagen. It's a current reissue on 180g vinyl. Nice pressing of a good session of standards, including Griffin's Blues for Harvey.

Dvorak "Rusalka" on Supraphone. Not the cleanest recording, but good music.

Well, it's not a bad recording, and the record is in decent shape, but I guess I was hoping for more yodeling. Either that or I made the mistake of hitting Ebay after wine!

Oh, and I bought not one Slim Whitman record, but two!

Was that Thunderbird wine? Remember the movie Mars Attack?

It was Slim Whitman's song "Indian Love Call" which made the Martians heads explode.

Bob Dylan recently received a Nobel prize in literature for his contributions. My FAVS:

Well, truth be told mebbe it was Manhattan(s) instead of wine

I vaguely remember the film, but not the Whitman song. Will have to see if Indian Love Call is on either of the LPs I got--can't be too careful defending against aliens!

Saw this in the Washington Post written by the person that first nominated Dylan...

Gieseking playing Beethoven's Emperor Concerto w/Bruno Walter conducting.
This is a 1938 performance re-issued by Vox/Turnabout Historical Series. Normally I hate Vox lp's as noisy, full of imperfections, and crap in general. This one is nicely done, with good if slightly bright sonics. Great pianist in his prime.
