Oh nice thread. My current fave is Hank Mobley Soul Station on vinyl reissue.

Listening to Holly Cole Trio Don't Smoke in Bed
Wish I could find it on Vinyl....

Shaun, Great shout!! Hank Mobley's 'Soul Station' is just a bloody fantastic record.
Hank Mobley – tenor, Wynton Kelly – piano, Paul Chambers – bass, Art Blakey – drums... all on their A game, great playing and wonderful tunes.

A heads up for the ultimate SQ reissue of this title is the Music Matters 45rpm cut, a work of art, reproduced with passion and love..of course at a price (£50) but it's a classic record that warrants it IMHO,
arguably better sounding and certainly cheaper than an original Blue Note W63rd copy, which in good nick will set you back a cool £2,000 !

Adam, loving your quote "Lack of passion is fatal". Personally I think without passion there is no point.

Also, another of my absolute faves, Lee Morgan 'Sidewinder', again, on vinyl reissue.

Shaun, the "lack of passion is fatal" quote applies to all things Matey, I constantly have to remind colleagues in the work place of that quote, as they mutter "nearly Friday" on Monday morning!!

Lee Morgan's 'Sidewinder' is a cracking date, Tenor giant, Joe Henderson is on fire! Coincidentally check the link on this post...enjoy!

Oh yeah, Joe Henderson, what an absolute genius and what about his album 'Double Rainbow' again, on vinyl.

Yes Adam, it is amazing how something you used to be so passionate about can become so sodding tedious.

Prompted by your post Adam I went and got the 2013 remaster of this. Really good, alive and 'present'. Whatever they were recording this album with in 1960 was just right. Would love to hear what this album sounds like on your 45 and 33 albums. You have both in that little LP collection of yours?

Was trying to find out if for the 2013 remaster the engineers had access to the original master tapes or was it an LP rip? To my ears it sounds like the masters.

In anticipation of this new “Jazz and Blues” area, I’ve been spinning the following:

First the Blues, as it was my first love

Elmore James – ‘The Sky is Crying’


Son House – ‘The Original Delta Blues’


[B]Big Joe Williams – ‘Sings the Blues’


and the Jazz:

Bix Beiderbecke – ‘Riverboat Shuffle’


Jan Garbarek – ‘Visible World’, ‘Legends of the Seven Dreams’ and ‘Twelve Moons’


Nina Simone – ‘Released’



and in memoriam

Fats Domino – ‘Blueberry Hill’

(OK, so it’s not blues nor is it jazz, but it was the start of Rock ‘n’ Roll, and ‘fats’ Domino took the sobriquet 'Fats' from the boogie-woogie pianist Fats Waller.)

RIP Fats.
