FELA KUTI & EGYPT 80
Original Suffer Head
2024 U.S. reissue

Finally re-adjusted to West Coast time, and it’s a beautiful day outside on the island.

A perfect day to play some Fela.

Jazz, funk, soul, afrobeat, the dude was just simply incredible.

He made SO many albums over his lifetime, and I firmly believe that not only was he the most influential artist on funk and African music, but on music period.
His influence on cultures is surpassed only by a select few, and I fully stand by that statement.

Truly one of the most interesting and fascinating dudes to have ever walked the Earth.
If you don’t know much about Fela… dive in.
You’d be hard pressed to find a more colorful and rich life.

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.

Bill Evans, Behind the Dikes: The 1969 Netherlands Recordings, 2021 on Elemental Music

Zev Feldman of Resonance Records teamed up (as Producer, Liner Notes, and Researcher) with Elemental Music for yet another Bill Evans live set from the 1960s. These were often bootlegged but get official high quality treatment here.

The recordings were made at KRO Studio I in Hilversum March 26th, 1969 and RAI Congrescentrum Amsterdam November 26th, 1969. Evans is joined by Eddie Gomez and Marty Morell. The release was mastered by Bernie Grundman and pressed by Standard Vinyl, with an insert booklet with photos, essays, and interviews. It’s a great package.

My copy—via private sale—is the 3xLP 2021 deluxe edition, numbered, on 180 gram vinyl, which was issued for Record Store Day 2021.

Bill Evans Trio, Bill Evans at Town Hall Volume One, 1967 on Verve

Recorded at Town Hall on February 21st, 1966. The trio here includes Chuck Isreals and Arnold Wise – this being the only commercial recording with Wise on drums.

The second side includes the 13 minute “Solo -In Memory of His Father, Harry L. Evans” who had died in 1966.

My copy—via private sale—is the 2022 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue supervised by Chad Kassem from Analogue Productions.

Clifford Brown and Max Roach, Study in Brown, 1955 on EmArcy

Brown and Roach are joined by Harold Land (tenor), Richie Powell (piano), and George Morrow (bass). Recorded Feb 23rd and 25th of 1955. Fantastic album.

My copy—via private sale—is the 2021 Acoustic Sounds Series reissue on 180g vinyl, supervised by Chad Kassem, cut by Ryan Smith, and pressed at Quality Record Pressing. As you’d expect, a flawless pressing.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Drum Suite, 1957 on Columbia

Art Blakey is joined here (at least on the A-side) by Cuban drummers Candido and Sabu, with Ray Bryant, Oscar Pettiford, and Charles Wright. On the B side, Jackie McLean, Spanky DeBrest, Sam Dockery, and Bill Hardman join as the Jazz Messengers.

My copy—via private sale—is a 1950s Columbia Hollywood plant pressing with the 6-eye label. The artist is credited as “The Art Blakey Percussion Ensemble” on both labels but the cover credits the B side to the Jazz Messengers.

Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan, 1955 on EmArcy

Later reissued as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, this was Vaughan’s second self-titled LP, and her second studio album. The band also includes Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Roy Haynes on drums, Herbie Mann on flute, and Jimmy Jones on piano.

It was originally recorded December 18th, 1954, and released in 1955. What a masterful set of recordings.

My copy—via private sale—is the Acoustic Sounds Series reissue from 2021, on 180 gram vinyl, with a gatefold cover and an inner liner about the series and the role of Quality Record Pressing and Chad Kassem.

Booker Ervin, The Freedom Book, 1964 on Prestige

Sixth full-length with Ervin as leader, recorded by Rudy Van Gelder in 1963, for Prestige. Ervin is joined here by Jaki Byard (piano), Richard Davis (bass), and Alan Dawson (who was a drum instructor at Berklee in Boston) (drums).

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2023 Analogue Productions / Craft Recordings reissue, in the Prestige Stereo Series. It was mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at QRP on 180g vinyl.

Milt Jackson & John Coltrane, Bags & Trane, 1961 on Atlantic

Jackson and Coltrane are joined by Hank Jones (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Connie Kay (drums). Recording supervised by Nesuhi Ertegun, engineered by Tom Dowd.

Great LP, bringing together Milt Jackson (Bags) of The Modern Jazz Quartet and John Coltrane (Trane) who had a year earlier put out Giant Steps. I’m not always a fan of the vibraphone but love how it plays off of Coltrane on this album.

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2017 reissue by Rhino Vinyl, in mono, pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal GmbH. Sounds great.

Thelonious Monk, The London Collection Volume 3, 1989 on Black Lion

Recorded at Chappell Studios in London Nov 15th, 1971 but not released until the late 80s on Black Lion, these recordings are from near the end of his recording and performing career. Monk’s joined by Al McKibbon on bass and Art Blakey on drums.

There are at least 3 volumes in the London Collection as well as a three CD Complete London Collection put out by Black Lion.

My copy—via a private sale—is the 2016 reissue by Org Music on Black Lion labels, pressed at Pallas.

Stan Getz & Bill Evans, Previously Unreleased Recordings, 1974 on Verve

Sometimes just referred to as Stan Getz & Bill Evans, this was recorded in 1964 but not released until 1974. Ron Carter (A side) and Richard Davis (B side) on bass, with Elvin Jones on drums. Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Englewood Cliffs NJ and produced by Creed Taylor.

There’s a whole series of “Previously Unreleased Recordings” advertised on the rear jacket. Beautiful sounding LP well packaged.

My copy—via Worcester Record Riot—is of the 2024 UMG/UMe reissue, overseen by Chad Kassem from Acoustic Sounds.

Indigo Girls, Indigo Girls, 1989 on Epic

Sophomore album from Amy Ray and Emily Sallers, with their massive breakout hit “Closer To Fine.” Michael Stipe guests on “Kid Fears” and Hothouse Flowers guest on multiple tracks including “Closer to Fine” (which recently had a revival as it appeared in the movie Barbie).

My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is a promo copy labelled with WDFH-FM, which is a public radio affiliate in Westchester County. It probably had a hype sticker or inventory sticker on the front cover as well which a previous owner removed. I know some people hate a cover that is “marred” but I think it just adds some provenance and color. :shrug:

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers, Modern Lovers ’88, 1987 on Rounder

Although the Modern Lovers formed in Natick MA, this incarnation formed in California and recorded this album in Grass Valley CA. This became the final album for Richman with the Modern Lovers, as a trio, with Brennan Totten and Johnny Avila.

My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is the Craft Recordings’ 2022 Record Store Day 35th Anniversary Edition on blue vinyl. This reissue itself charted (a first for a Modern Lovers release) at 77 on the US album charts.

The Modern Lovers, The Modern Lovers, 1976 on Beserkley

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers are part of the indie rock canon, especially here in greater Boston. They formed in Natick MA in 1970, and were active from 1970 to 1974, but most of their records came out later – this one in 1976.

Jerry Harrison (of Talking Heads) gets credit for piano, organ, and backing vocals, with Ernie Brooks playing bass, and David Robinson drums. John Cale produced six of the songs. That’s a gig poster for Gloucester High School auditorium on the rear cover.

Some legendary songs here – “Roadrunner” (which you may know via the Sex Pistol’s cover and after which a local venue is now named) and “Pablo Picasso” which has been covered by many people including David Bowie and Jack White.

My copy—via A1 records in NYC—is a later reissue (2009) by 4 Men With Beards on 180g vinyl.

Ike Quebec, Easy Living, 1987 on Blue Note

Though this was first released / issued by Blue Note in 1987, it was actually recorded in 1962 at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in New Jersey, and represents that early 60s jazz era. It was originally going to be issued as BST-84103 – but the tracks on side one did ultimately make it on Blue Note LT-1089 (1981).

Quebec is joined here by fellow tenor sax master Stanley Turrentine and Bennie Green (on the first three tracks) plus Sonny Clark, Milt Hinton, and Art Blakey (on all six).

Unfortunately both Ike Quebec and Sonny Clark died in January of 1963, three days apart.

My copy via Joe’s Albums in Worcester MA.

Various Artists, A Very Special Christmas, 1987 on A&M

Long before Maria’s “All I Want For Christmas” came this wonderful compilation to benefit Special Olympics International with a whos-who of mid-late 80s artists covering holiday songs:

• The Pointer Sisters – Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
• Eurythmics – Winter Wonderland
• Whitney Houston – Do You Hear What I Hear
• Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band – Merry Christmas Baby
• The Pretenders – Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
• John Cougar Mellencamp – I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
• Sting – Gabriel’s Message
• Run-DMC – Christmas in Hollis
• U2 – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
• Madonna – Santa Baby
• Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band – The Little Drummer Boy
• Bryan Adams – Run Rudolph Run
• Bon Jovi – Back Door Santa
• Alison Moyet – The Coventry Carol
• Stevie Nicks – Silent Night

This is holiday music I can get behind – though Christmas in Hollis does have a certain earworm quality I still love it. Artwork by Keith Haring, of course.

My copy via Beverly Coin & Jewelry. Different versions exist with black vs gold lettering on the cover, and with green/red on different side labels.

Chet Baker, Chet, 1959 on Riverside

The labels carry a subtitle of “Ballads by Chet Baker,” and the rear cover suggests “The lyrical trumpet of Chet Baker” but most people just call it Chet. Riverside RLP 12-299 (mono) and RLP 1135 (stereo).

He’s joined here by Pepper Adams, Paul Chambers, Herbie Mann, Bill Evans, and Philly Joe Jones / Connie Kay splitting drums duty, plus Kenny Burrell on two tracks. The liner notes (by Orrin Keepnews) say “Pianist Bill Evans . . . is just beginning to attract real public attention, but has for some time been the object of extreme praise from fellow musicians.”

My copy is a 2021 reissue by Craft Recordings (CR 00359) pressed at RTI with lacquers cut by Kevin Grey – via Beatnick Records in Montreal QC – which sounds fantastic.

Angel Olsen, Whole New Mess, 2020 on Jagjaguwar

Whole New Mess presents new takes on the tracks from Angel Olsen‘s 2019 All Mirrors: though actually the Whole New Mess versions were recorded earlier, in 2018 at The Unknown, a studio in a former church in Anacortes Washington. (It is labeled as “the primer and precursor to All Mirrors“).

It was produced by Michael Harris and mixed by John Congleton, but is just Olsen and her guitar where All Mirrors had a full band.

She performed earlier this year at the Cabot Theatre – great show which I neglected to post about here.

Paul McCartney and Wings, Band on the Run, 1973 on Apple Records

The third Wings album, this time credited to Paul McCartney & Wings. Includes the title track, plus “Jet” and “Let Me Roll It.” This lineup includes Denny Laine, and Linda McCartney (as you see on the labels) but also Ginger Baker and Remi Kabaka on percussion, and Howie Casey on Saxophone.

My copy is a 1973 pressing (the US version, with “Helen Wheels” which was not on the UK pressings), via Vinyl Destination in Lowell MA.

Sinéad O’Connor, The Lion and the Cobra, 1987 on Chrysalis / Ensign

This was Sinéad’s debut album and is still just astonishingly great. The spoken word intro in gaelic by Enya before “Never Get Old” is Psalm 91:

For He will give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee upon their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample […]

Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington, Ella at Duke’s Place, 1966 on Verve

The album is divided between “The Pretty, The Lovely, The Tender, The Hold-Me-Close Side” and “The Finger-Snapping, Head-Shaking, Toe-Tapping, Go-For-Yourself Side.” Recorded by Val Valentin and produced by Norman Granz (those are his black & white photos), this is Verve at its mid-60s best.

In addition to Ellington and Fitzgerald, personnel included Louis Bellson on drums; John Lamb on […]

Michelle Shocked, The Texas Campfire Tapes, 1986 on Mercury / Cooking Vinyl

This was the debut album for Michelle Shocked, purportedly recorded by Cooking Vinyl founder Pete Lawrence on a Sony Walkman at an unplanned performance at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. Shocked herself has called it a “bootleg” and says it was released without her permission:

Sonny Boy Williamson, The Real Folk Blues, 1966 on Chess

This album was first released in the UK in 1965 as In Memorium, (Williamson died in May of 1965). In the US it was retitled to The Real Folk Blues and released in 1966. Later reissues have appeared with either title in different regions.

This is one of my favorite blues albums of all time – Williams is backed here by Willie Dixon, Luther Tucker, Otis Spann, Fred Bellow, Matt Murphy, […]

The Getz/Gilberto Collection: 20 Golden Greats, 1985 on Deja Vu

Joe Cocker, Mad Dogs and Englishmen, 1970 on A&M

Technically the soundtrack to the live movie of the same name, a sprawling live set with a tremendous band including (led by?) Leon Russell, across rock, soul and R&B. If you can only have one Joe Cocker album this probably ought to be it.

Great renditions of “Cry Me A River,” “Bird on a Wire,” “Feelin’ Alright,” and “Delta Lady.”

Howard Jones, One to One, 1986 on Elektra

Howard Jones was one of my first concerts I saved up for and bought tickets to myself. I don’t think he was the first, but he was certainly an early one. I especially loved his early-80s output: Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action.

One to One was his third studio album – for some folks this was where he lost some luster but I think it is still a solid LP. Guests include Afrodiziak, Phil […]

Tim Finn’s better known as one of the co-founders of Split Enz, and later member of Crowded House. This was his debut album as a solo artist, originally on Mushroom records, a large indie label in Australia, but distributed in the US by A&M.

It was a #1 record in New Zealand, top ten in Australia, and top 100 in Canada – but only made it to #161 in the US charts. Vince Gill guests on […]
