Clifford Browne
Brownie Eyes



Well I made another trip to the used record store, this time to actually sell records (it was the first time I remember ever selling records, but I'm running out of room, and it doesn't make any sense to hang onto stuff that I'll never listen to).  Well, the sales piece was disappointing--they would only buy 11 of the 40 or so records, and only got $3.00 each of store credit for them, which stung a bit since I'd bought about half of them at the same shop for 4x that just a few weeks ago.  But I digress...

So, determined to be more selective in my purchases, I debated picking this up for $8 since it is a reissue from a label I didn't recognize. It had great liner notes, however, so I thought it was worth a shot. Anyway, I'm glad I did.  Great music, well recorded and pressed. 

Glad I took a chance, as I won't need to worry about selling this one back--it will get quite a bit of play from me.

AllMusic Review  by Scott Yanow:
The great trumpeter Clifford Brown is heard in several settings on this LP, all of whose titles have since been reissued in a box set by Mosaic. The songs find Brown with a quintet featuring altoist Lou Donaldson and pianist Elmo Hope ("De-Dah" and "Brownie Speaks" are the most memorable). There is an alternate take of "Get Happy" with a sextet headed by trombonist J.J. Johnson, and the remaining five titles have Brown teamed in a sextet with altoist Gigi Gryce and tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse. Of the latter, "Easy Living" and "Cherokee" are classics. Although superseded by later reissues, this set has more than its share of superb music.

Blue Genes
The Three Sounds



Gene Harris Piano
Bill Dowdy Drums
Andrew Simpkins Bass

This is the first Rudy Van Gelder recording that I've felt "eh".  I'd never heard of these guys, but since Rudy recorded it, and I've got such a great track record with his recordings, decided to take a chance.  Well, someone certainly loved it, as it's pretty well thrashed.  The music is ok, but I'm having a tough time getting past the pops and clicks.

The cover is cool & has an hardcore appearance but actually it's kind of laid back (for a Monk lp) with a full Orchestra arranged & conducted by Oliver Nelson. Get's funky on side two.

Sarah Vaughan
Linger Awhile

Japanese 1979 reissue

A bit bright--not sure how or if it was remastered, but Sarah's voice, while still amazing, is missing that liquid magic.
