Crikey, that's quite a mix (mind you I had the Ohio Players alternating with Helmut Walcha playing Bach Partitas earlier). The definitive Marlena album IMHO, is "Who is that Bitch Anyway", which is worth getting for the spoken intro alone. Awesome, as is the very wonderful Marlena herself.
This weekend has seen some new old vinyl hit the deck:
Helmut Walcha - Bach Italian Concerto in F Major,Partita in B Minor on groovy red Angel vinyl.
Booker Ervine - the song book an absolutly AWESOME Victor pressing of an awesome album. AWESOME.
Moscow State Symphony Orchestra under Kyrill Kondrashin - Mahler 9th in D Major This is a USSR pressing and vry nice, too. This orchestra seems to get the rhythm and texture thing right, to my ears at least... VG recording and lovely pressing IMHO.
Miles - In a Silent Way Totally mind Blowing early Sony pressing. Amazing if you're coming off a CD version. This was an electric album, but it was also Glorious Analogue. Beautiful.
Eric Dolphy - Far Cry A supreme Quintet seesion featuring Booker Little, Jaki Byard, Ron Carter and Roy Haynes. This is a solid pre-Fantasy Prestige pressing of a wonderful album.
Billy Paul - Got My Head on Straight a minor album by a major artist. Doesn't quite scale the peeks of his earlier work, but I have time for anything by Gamble and Huff that's "Made in Philly".
Paul Chambers Quartet - Bass on Top is a beautiful album featuring Chambers, Hank Jones, Art Taylor and Kenny Burrell (BN1597 Tosh EMI super pressing)
Kalyani Roy - The Virtuoso of Sitar Vol II Another superb Denon recording from the seventies. Is Dev back from lunch yet?
Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Going on Hopefully a *really* good clean will bring this seemingly atrocious pressing up to scratch! Classic album from the great funk-rock band.
Milton Banana Trio - Samba e Isso Another slab of so-fis-ti-cated Braz Jazz fusion from the wonderoulsy named and very talented Milton Banana.
Ohio Players - Ecstacy classic 70s soul from one of the great bands. The album cover still works for me
Rostropovitch - Brahms Sonata no 2 in F Major in Mono on Angel red vinyl. Stunning sound.
Alexis Weissenberg - various Chopin things Sounds good to me, but the time keeping sometimes seems a bit leaden. I know nothing, though. Genuione white label on red vinyl in a pristine 1968 pressing.
Jaki byard - Freedom Together! Jaki's most "out" album with the ever presnet and ever awesome Richard Davis and Alan Dawson, as well as Jr. Parker singing!!!! Jaki also makes his debut on tenor sax on this album. Slightly Iffy Fantasy pressing, but I'm unlikely to find an OP anytimne soon.
Franco - joue avec Sam Mangwana more in the endless stream of Congolese Deep Rhumba. Awesome. If you think Buenavista are good, give Franco a listen: he'll blow your mind.
Human League - Dare Dig the eye shadow, the synths, the Nihilistic lyrics. An album that really was before it's time. Great fun, if you Dare.
