#NowSpinning No More Water: The Gospel Of James Baldwin by Meshell Ndegeocello

I didn’t really have expectations when I threw this into my last #BlueNote order, but it seemed interesting when I read about it. What a wonderful surprise this has been so far.

Freddie Roach, Good Move!, 1964 on Blue Note

Freddie Roach’s third album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliff with Blue Mitchell (trumpet), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Eddie Wright (guitar), and Clarence Johnston (drums).

Tunes include “It Ain’t Necessarily So” (Gerswhin) and Pastel (Garner) as well as “T’Ain’t What You Do (It’s The Way That You Do It).” Great soul-jazz organ here.

My copy—via Amazon—is the Tone Poet Series reissue from 2024, with lacquer cut by Kevin Gray and pressing at RTI. As you can expect from this series it’s a great sounding pressing with lovely packaging.

Big John Patton, Let ‘Em Roll, 1966 on Blue Note

Patton joined by Otis Finch (drums), Grant Green (guitar), and Bobby Hutcherson (vibes), and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs, NJ. Fantastic Hammond B3 driven mid-sixties Blue Note jazz – can’t go wrong.

My copy—direct from Amazon, which often has deals on these—is the Blue Note Tone Poet series reissue from 2023, with lacquer cut by Kevin Grey and Joe Harley and pressing at RTI.

Lou Donaldson, Midnight Creeper, 1968 on Blue Note

Donaldson joined here by Leo Morris (drums), George Benson (guitar), Lonnie Smith (organ) and Blue Mitchell (trumpet). Very groovy soul-jazz LP from late sixties Blue Note.

Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs and produced by Francis Wolff.

My copy—via Amazon—is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI.

Blue Mitchell, Down With It, 1966 on Blue Note

Another fantastic Blue Note jazz LP, this came out originally in 1966. It features Mitchell (trumpet) with Junior Cook (tenor sax), Chick Corea (piano), Gene Taylor (bass), and Aloysius Foster (drums), and was recorded at Van Gelder Studios in New Jersey.

My copy- via a private sale – is the Blue Note Tone Poet reissue from 2024, cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio and pressed at RTI. Great sound and packaging.

Didn’t place in pub trivia, so will be consoling myself with some #HerbieHancock and a wee glass of Black Label.

Just got this in from the #BlueNote spring sale….

I love all the Herbie albums I have, this is no exception. And it was recorded by Rudy Van Gelder so it already has a leg up.

Herbie Hancock - The Prisoner (1970) (Tone Poet Series)

#Vinyl #RecordCollecting #NowSpinning #Jazz

Bud Powell, Time Waits (The Amazing Bud Powell, Volume 4), 1958 on Blue Note

Powell joined by Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Hackensack NJ, and produced by Alfred Lion. Sleeve notes by Leonard Feather.

My copy is the 2022 Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series reissue, pressed at Optimal GmbH and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent – wonderful pressing.

Herbie Hancock, Inventions and Dimensions, 1964 on Blue Note

Hancock is joined by Paul Chambers, Willie Bobo and Chihuahua Martinez—though it’s not really what you’d call a Latin jazz album so much as post-bop or modal.

Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder at his Englewood Cliffs studio.

My copy—direct from Blue Note—is the 2019 Blue Note 80 Vinyl Series reissue mastered for vinyl by Kevin Gray and pressed at Optimal Media GmbH – sounds great.

Bobby Hutcherson, Montara, 1975 on Blue Note

Vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson’s ~13th album on Blue Note – west coast Latin jazz. Recorded in LA (Record Plant) in August 1975 and produced by Dale Oehler. Hutcherson passed in 2016.

My copy is part of the Vinyl Me Please Anthology The Story of Blue Note Records (2024 edition) which reproduces the mid-70s Blue Note labels.

Wayne Shorter, Schizophrenia, 1969 on Blue Note

Eleventh Wayne Shorter album, with Herbie Hancock, Curtis Fuller, Ron Carter, James Spaulding, and Joe Chambers. Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder, with Francis Wolff producing.

This is transitional between post-bop and free jazz – looser and closer to the edge than my normal taste, but worth a listen for anyone interested in post-bop or Shorter and Hancock.

My copy as part of the Story of Blue Note Records VMP Anthology, 2024 reissue.

Recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in his Englewood Cliffs NJ studio and produced by Alfred Lion.

My copy is part of the 2024 reissue of the 2019 Vinyl Me Please Anthology.

NOT enjoying being back at work today. #NowSpinning some #Jazz to help make work bullshit (of which there was plenty to come back to) a little less blistering.

Also breaking in a new cartridge, a Christmas present to myself. So far it sounds incredible. This being an #RVG recording also helps quite a bit…

Time for some #Coltrane - an #NC native! Add to that one of my favorite trumpet players - #LeeMorgan. Playing one of only a few #BlueNote #TonePoet issues I have…I love the way they sound, but I don’t know that they sound any better than the Classic Vinyl Series reissues…which are also absolutely fantastic. (And were on sale last week…I may have been a bit irresponsible…)

But I’m sure some audiophile with a much more expensive system will claim there is a huge difference…

Tone Poet or not it sounds amazing. Someday I need to get the RVG stereo mix.

Good morning for some #autumnleaves. Have a few copies of this, went with the original mono press which is in remarkable condition. Probably my cleanest OG #bluenote. So great. #cannonballadderly #milesdavis #hankjones #samjones #artblakey #vinyl #jazz #jazzrecords @vinylrecords

This one is new to me, bought it on a whim after reading it was good.

Despite not recognizing the name of the song, I immediately know I played the first song on this when I was in high school #Jazz band.

I’m a minute in and I’m immediately hooked. #NoRegrets

Enjoying a nice early pressing of this classic I found recently.

The Jazz Messengers - At The Cafe Bohemia (Volume 1)

(1959 – US, Repress, Mono, Blue Note – BLP 1507)

#nowplaying #nowspinning #jazz #Jazzcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #jazzmessengers #artblakey #dougwatkins #HankMobley #HoraceSilver #kennydorham #bluenote

Great 1959 session with Clark accompanied by Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey. This Japanese pressing sounds crisp and warm.

Sonny Clark - My Conception

(1979 – Japan, Limited Edition, Blue Note – GXF 3056)

#nowplaying #nowspinning #jazz #jazzcommunity #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #sonnyclark #HankMobley #DonaldByrd #artblakey #paulchambers #bluenote

The second Japanese white label promo of Somethin' Else, which came in a King Record sample record sleeve. This 1977 pressing also sounds superb.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else

(1977 – Japan, Promo, Blue Note – GXF-3001)
