  1. Herbie Hancock, My Point of View, 1963 on Blue Note

    Hancock's sophomore album as a leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in Englewood Cliffs NJ. Hancock joined by Donald Byrd (trumpet), Gracham Moncur III (trombone), Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Grant Green (guitar), Chuck Isreals (bass), and Anthony Williams (drums). Herbie Hancock is a master, and it is wonderful to find the early Blue Note albums - I now have the first five in good vinyl editions.

  2. Tuesday night #jazz #record. The #paulchambers sextet and a it’s a stellar lineup with #johncoltrane #donaldbyrd #horacesilver #phillyjoejones and #kennyburrell. Some killer playing. Wish I had an OG but this the #Kevingray and #stevehoffman 45rpm remaster and it sounds pretty good for a modern pressing. #jazzvinyl #jazzrecords #recordcollection @vinylrecords

  3. Sticking with that smooth #jazz swing & #NowListening to #ByrdInParis by #DonaldByrd with #BobbyJaspar, #WalterDavisJunior, #DougWatkins, & #ArtTaylor - another live offering from the exceptional #SamRecords, based out of Paris.

    This is a typically high quality issue - well presented, very well mastered, & impeccably pressed. The performance is really strong - you can really hear the room & the musicianship is top par.

  4. Next up & #NowListening to #DonaldByrd & #BobbyJaspar live at Cannes in ‘58.

    This is just such a great recording &, while the Miles is evocative, this bops like an insane thing - particular on #BoogieWoogie - the highlight imo.

    As far as I can see, this set is unique to the excellent #SamRecords based out of Paris. If you are into #jazz - definitely check Sam out. Their issues are generally #AAA, well mastered, meticulously pressed, & well presented.

  5. Even more Sunday vinyl ... a pretty expensive but indeed very pretty LP released by Sam Records, containing the Cannes 1958 set (shortened?) by the Donald Byrd Quintet with Bobby Jaspar, Walter Davis Jr., Doug Watkins and Art Taylor.
