✍🏾 ~ @3rdstreetjazz There is always a special feeling when you are headed to your local record store hoping you find that one album that seems to be eluding you every week, but someone on here seems to be always posting that same record that they found in a local thrift shop. #NinaSimone . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #jazzjunkie #vinylcollector #vinyllove #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Jazz #Vinyldigging #moodindigo (at DMV) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTfCROKj69o/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Think!” by the late #DrLonnieSmith was recorded on July 23, 1968, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Smith on organ, #LeeMorgan on trumpet, #DavidNewman on tenor and flute, #HermanHenry and #MelvinSparks on guitar, #PunchoBrown on percussions and #MelvinBooker on drums. This was his second album for @BlueNoteRecords. The strange thing about hearing of his passing last night I was listening to “The Tennessee Waltz” by #LouDonaldson the other day and scrambled to see how many tunes had Doc played on Lou’s “Pretty Things” and found out it was just that piece and thought I need to get more of his music on vinyl into my collection. I have several of his CDs, but very few on vinyl. This reissue is from the #BlueNoteRecords 80th Anniversary/Classic Series which sounds so sweet. I love this album mainly because Lee Morgan is on it and my favorite tune of this session is the title song which was made famous by the late great #ArethaFranklin, but I also enjoy the Latin flavored tune “The Call of the Wild”. This is an enjoyable session, probably not his best, but very enjoyable. Rest In Peace Doc! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #IgJazzCollector #3rdStreetJazz #JazzLife https://www.instagram.com/p/CUaBfEXgO_o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Only 7 days in but boy, does this #NewYear feel a little weird. Almost like waking up from a dream you thought was really happening. There are so many things popping up, some new and some intentionally 😒 I am definitely looking forward to what this #OneYear has in store, I can feel something big coming, hopefully amazing also. No matter what happens, my optimism will always take over and I will know that everything happens for a reason. Although I'll admit I'd prefer the reasoning sooner than later...😶💜🤷🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♂️#Yoga #Yogini #YogiLife #SpineEnergy #Stretch #YogaFlow #Jazz #JazzJunkie #MusicFreak #OM #AsAboveSoBelow

“Speak Like a Child” by #HerbieHancok was recorded on March 6 and 9, 1968 at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Herbie on piano, #RonCarter on bass, #MickeyRoker on drums, #JerryDodgion on alto flute, #PeterPhillips on bass trombone and #ThadJones on flugelhorn. When Herbie hit the studio in 1968 it was his first session as a leader in nearly three years as this was his last recording with #BlueNoteRocrds. His last session as a leader was “Maiden Voyage”. In the years between these two landmark recordings, Herbie was busy playing with #MilesDavis, Ron Carter, #WayneShorter and #TonyWilliams as part of Miles’ Second Great Quintet. If you read the liner notes Herbie explains his concept of putting this session together as it seems he was heavily influenced by the work of Gil Evans, Oliver Nelson and Thad Jones three heavy hitting arrangers who compose with large groups in mind. His note’s: "All the sounds in these pieces are a product of everything I've learned, particularly in recent work with Gil Evans, and, of course, in the five years I've been with Miles and the other men in the band. I feel I have to go on more and write for horns, explore more possibilities of textures. There are things I hear in my head that I don't often hear in other people's music, and I want to get more of those down. And I keep hearing new things and I have to find out what value they have, how they work out." The first time I heard this album I was intrigued by the makeup of his front line of alto flute, bass trombone and flugelhorn. I’ve always been a Herbie and Ron Carter fan and because “Riot” and “The Sorcerer” were part of this session I wanted to compare with the classics done with Miles on “Nefertiti” and “Sorcerer”. Although these versions were nice, I preferred the versions done with Miles. This is a Liberty pressing that I think you would enjoy. I wish I hadn’t missed out when it was available on the #MusicMattersJazz website, but if they ever get around to releasing anymore this may be the first album I buy. #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #3rdStreetJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYwfJXsK_6/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Brown Sugar” by #FreddieRoach was recorded on March 4, 1964, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Roach on organ, #JoeHenderson on tenor, #EddieWright on guitar and #ClarenceJohnston on drums. This was Freddie’s fourth album as a leader. I wasn’t familiar with this album until I picked up the CD a few years ago for $1.99 at the Princeton Record Exchange in Princeton, New Jersey. Thanks to the folks at @HRRecords this weekend I found this Liberty copy in perfect condition. Not sure where Freddie ranks up there with the great organ players, but on this session he’s on fire. My favorite tune of this session is the title track “Brown Sugar” as Freddie gives that power and Joe Henderson has that usual Joe sound, smooth and funky. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #3rdStreetJazz #jazzrecord https://www.instagram.com/p/CUWQEfMsRcD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spent the afternoon at the @dcrecordfair today and found a new record store @mlwl2809 my daughter and I will be visiting in the next few weeks. I also picked up this gem “That Healin’ Feelin’” by @HoraceSilver which was recorded on both April 8 and June 18, 1970, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Silver on piano, #RandyBecker on trumpet and flugelhorn, #GeorgeColeman on tenor, #BenCranshaw on bass, #MickeyRoker on drums, #HoustonPearson on tenor, #JimmyLewis on bass, #IdrisMuhammad on drums, #AndyBey on vocals, #GailNelson on vocals and #JackieVerdell on vocals. I had been looking for this for quite some time. I have it on CD, but I’ve only been able to find blue labeled UA copies and I’ve decided I’m not purchasing any UA’s again and I’m replacing the one’s I have with Liberty’s when I come across one. My favorite piece on this album is “That Happy Medium” that seems to always make it on a playlist. . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #3rdStreetJazz https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTO6RlPS7C/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today would have been the great #SamRivers 98th birthday, born on this day in 1923 in El Reno, Oklahoma, he moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1947, where he studied at the Boston Conservatory. Up until a few years ago I didn’t own any vinyl recordings of Sam as a leader, only on CD where I have everything he’s done on #BlueNoteRecords and #Impulse from the 60’s and 70’s. I first heard Sam on “Miles in Tokyo” by #MilesDavis which I think was his tryout for the tenor spot for Miles “Second Great Quintet” which eventually went to #WayneShorter. A couple years ago I saw this 2-LP 45 RPM “Fuchsia Swing Song” still available on @MusicMattersJazz website and purchased it. The price at the time was still reasonable as well. This was Sam’s first session as a leader and was recorded on December 11, 1964, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Rivers on tenor, #JakiByrd on piano, #RonCarter on bass and #TonyWilliams on drums. This is my favorite Rivers album as Rivers explained the title “Fuchsia Swing Song” got its name from the brightness of the tune made him think of the bright purplish-red color of fuchsia. The CD of course has a few bonus tracks of alternate takes, but the final cuts on the album were the perfect selection. I’m not sure if #MusicMattersJazz still has any available copies of this classic, but hopefully Blue Note Records will include this in their Classic Series because I highly recommend this piece for your collection. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #3rdStreetJazz #jazzrecord https://www.instagram.com/p/CUPtfvBAftw/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Miles in the Sky” by the great #MilesDavis was recorded on both January 16 and May 15-17, 1968, at Columbia Studio B in New York City featuring Miles on trumpet, #WayneShorter on tenor, #HerbieHancock on keyboards, #RonCarter on bass, #TonyWilliams on drums and #GeorgeBenson on guitar. This was Miles last full recorded album with his ‘Second Great Quintet’ and his first dive into the jazz fusion era. I wasn’t too familiar with this album when I ran across it in Okinawa. I was more intrigued that George Benson played guitar on it. I remember listening to just Side A in the record store before purchasing it. It was part of the “Miles 25” Collection, and I was determined to buy all 25 albums in that series and because this was the 23rd album of this series I purchased it. It wasn’t until I purchased the CD that it became a favorite of mine. A couple years ago I ran across this #MobileFidelity reissue that I had to have it. Although it was dubbed as fusion when I purchased it, I remember listening to it again after purchasing it and trying to compare it to the fusion I was listening to at the present time like #ReturnToForever and #WeatherReport since Wayne Shorter was a part of them, and I couldn’t really find any resemblance other than they were playing electric instruments. I remember being kind of disappointed with this album because it wasn’t the fusion, I had grown accustomed to. Then a couple years later I was in Philly at the Sound of Market Street, and I saw the CD and decided to buy it and I quickly became a favorite as I seemed to listen to this CD over and over. As with all my #MoFi reissues this copy is very clean and sounds superb. My favorite piece on here is “Stuff” with Herbie and that Fender Rhodes piano and that distinctive sound and Tony Williams setting the pace and what I began to realize is Miles’ style is Miles’ style and no one else. I can listen to just “Stuff” over and over again which I seem to do from time to time. #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CUNd4meAILu/?utm_medium=tumblr

On what would have been the great #JohnColtrane 95th birthday today, I tried to think of what album I would post today. As I drove around today, I listened to 6 different Trane albums loaded in my car’s jukebox. I thought about “Crescent”, but my current copy needs an upgrade, and I did buy one of those MCA reissues from 1997 that looks pretty, but I haven’t a chance to actually listen to it. I then thought about “Blue Train” and the fact that I have several different copies of that, and I settled with that. Recorded on September 15, 1957, at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey featuring Trane on tenor, #LeeMorgan on trumpet, #CurtisFuller on trombone, #KennyDrew on piano, #PaulChambers on bass and #PhillyJoeJones on drums. This is a #MusicMattersJazz SRX Series reissue that sounds flawless. As we all know this is Trane’s only #BlueNoteRecords recording as a leader. This session took place at the time Trane was working at the Five Spot as a member of the #TheloniousMonk Quartet and all the compositions with the exception of the standard “I’m Old Fashion” was written by Trane. My favorite piece on this album is the title track “Blue Train” which always gave me the feeling I was actually watching a train riding down this lonely track chugg’n away with the stream pouring out of it’s stack. In this piece a young Lee Morgan is making a statement with his solo that he’s gonna be a star in the near future. Curtis Fuller is my favorite trombonist and his playing on this album doesn’t alter my feeling about him. As with all the titles in the MMJ SRX series this is a very enjoyable listening experience every time, I put it on the turntable. It’s like they are playing right in my living room. So I want to say Happy Heavenly Birthday Blessings Trane! . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife @3rdStreetJazz #3rdStreetJazz #jazzrecord https://www.instagram.com/p/CULeqfqPkYD/?utm_medium=tumblr

“This Here Is Bobby Timmons” by the great #BobbyTimmons was recorded January 13 and 14, 1960 in New York featuring Timmons on piano, #SamJones on bass and #JimmyCobb on drums. It was released on the Riverside label later that year and it was Timmons first recorded album as a leader although he did record “Jenkins, Jordan and Timmons” as a co-leader with #JohnJenkins and #CliffordJordan. The funny thing about this album and how it got into my collection is after I left Okinawa, Japan in the fall of 83’ and arrived in Sacramento, Cali CDs were the hot thing in Northern California and the Tower Records I used to buy my music from, and I couldn’t afford a CD player nor these new discs they were selling for that matter. I did find my first copy of this there, an OJC that I cherished, but somehow it had a long scratch on it that until this day and as careful as I was with my records, I have no idea how it got there. Once I arrived in the mainland of Japan about an hour from Tokyo my first trip to Tower Records there, I saw this current copy. The problem was the Yen rate had changed drastically and this album was now about $27 bucks. This was in 1987 and Reaganomics had hit Japan like a typhoon. I love trios and my love for Bobby Timmons made me fork over the $27 bucks for this album. My favorite tunes on this album are “Moanin’” and “Dat Dere” mainly because I love these two pieces on the Messenger’s “Moanin’” album as well. The only thing this version of “Moanin’” is missing is #LeeMorgan opening solo, but Bobby all but makes up for it with his hi-voltage playing along with Sam Jones deep bass sound and Jimmy Cobb’s uplifting beat. This album is a must for your collection if you don’t have it. . . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #MoneyJungle @3rdStreetJazz #3rdStreetJazz #jazzrecord #riversiderecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CUGwiilMPoA/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Power of Soul” by #IdrisMuhammad was recorded in March of 1974 at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Idris on drums, #RandyBrecker on trumpet and Flugelhorn, #GroverWashingtonJr on tenor and soprano, #BobJames on keyboards, #JoeBeck on guitar, #GaryKing on bass and #RalphMcDonald on percussion. It was released in November pf 1974 on the Kudu Records label. This was one of my favorite albums in high school that I wore out the copy I had, so it was only natural I replaced it with this Japanese copy while I was living in Okinawa in the early 80’s. My favorite piece on this album is “Piece of Mind” with “Loran’s Dance” a close second. I do favor this version of “Loran’s Dance” over Grover’s version on his album “Reed Seed”. But, on “Piece of Mind” Grover’s solo makes you feel like you are gliding in the air. If you don’t have this album in your collection, I highly recommended it if you can find it. Four great tunes. . . . . #Jazzrecords #JazzAlbum #classicjazz #jazzvinyl #Jazz #jazzjunkie #igvinylclub #igjazzvinyl #JazzRecordCollector #JazzVinylCollector #VinylJazz #CrateDigging #Vinyldigging #JazzRecordCollection #OnMyTurtable #MusicaJazz #JazzMan #JazzArt #JazzLife #MoneyJungle @3rdStreetJazz #3rdStreetJazz #jazzrecord https://www.instagram.com/p/CUENauEMYCE/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Cornbread” by #LeeMorgan was recorded on this day September 18, 1965, at the Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey featuring Morgan on trumpet, #JackieMcLean on alto, #HankMobley on tenor, #HerbieHancock on piano, #LarryRidley on bass and #BillyHiggins on drums. It was shelved for two years, but despite the success of “The Sidewinder” in 1964 and “Search for the New Land” in 1966 arguably his two greatest albums, this album didn’t sound stale when it was released in 1967. All tunes were written by Morgan except for the romantic ballad “Ill Wind” as Lee plays his trumpet with a mute. My favorite tune of this session is “Ceora” which feels like a smooth bossa nova type tune with Herbie’s piano gliding over Higgins’ steady beat. This is an original I jumped at to replace my blue labeled UA copy that served me well for many years. I also have a @BlueNoteRecords Tone Poet Series reissue in my collection as well. Not sure if or when #BlueNoteRecords will reprint their sold-out Tone Poet’s, but if they do, I highly recommend this.
