Extra funky soul-jazz, with Lee Morgan and Grant Green giving it that little something extra. This is the 2021 Classic Vinyl Series reissue, and sounds fantastic. #jazzsky #vinyl

A classic from Miles’ first great quintet in ‘58, and yet another Miles album that shaped the direction of jazz. Original 6-eye mono pressing. #jazzsky #vinyl

Getting down with Grant Green and friends on this funky live date from 1970. This is the ‘73 repress, Van Gelder cut. #jazzsky #vinyl

Nice & funky, and kind of a slow burn.
Just delivering the goods without any fuss. Original 1971 Groove Merchant pressing, Bell Sound stampers. #jazzsky #jazz #funk #vinyl

What a great one. Stanley’s take on “I Told Jesus” is a real stand-out. Original ‘71 pressing, Van Gelder stampers. 🔥 #jazzsky #jazz #vinyl

Bebopping along with a classic early BN album that tends to get overlooked. Doesn’t help that there haven’t been any vinyl reissues for over 40 years. This is the 1983 King Records (Japan) mono reissue, sounds great. #jazzsky #jazz #vinyl

Best version ever of “Son Of A Preacher Man,” hallelujah.
The Queen Of Soul, hallelujah.
Rest in Power.

I still remember hearing Bill Evans Trio for the first time and being amazed with the level of intimacy and interplay. Breathtaking. This is the 2023 Craft/OJC reissue, AAA cut by Kevin Gray. #jazzsky #jazz #vinyl

Face-melting 🫠 From the kaleidoscopic cover to the African percussion textures, from Hill’s off-kilter stabs to Hubbard’s blistering wails, the intensity is turned up to 11 on this date. Original ‘66 Van Gelder cut, All Disc (east coast) pressing. #jazzsky #jazz #vinyl

Herbie bringing the funk! Joe Henderson is just a beast on this date (but when is he not?). Original ‘69 Van Gelder cut. Nice, heavy bass in these grooves. The ballad “Tell Me A Bedtime Story” is a real standout.

Expansive soundscapes to fill the room and the mind. A transitional album, bridging 60’s hard-bop and 70’s jazz-funk. Original 1970 Van Gelder cut. Love how this ends on the strongest track, “The Dude.” #jazzsky

Some of the best jazz-funk to be had anywhere. Beats that get you moving. Love the groovy Fender bass lines and electric piano too. Recorded in ‘71, this is the 2020 VMP reissue. #jazzsky

Cool before cool was cool.
Get an early US pressing, cut when there was still fresh oxide on the tapes. The reissue projects can’t compete.

This one is simply gorgeous ☺️ original 1964 mono Prestige, Van Gelder cut.

One of my favourite Lou Donaldson albums. Nice, greasy soul-jazz. Charles Earland is burning it up on the organ. Original ‘69 Van Gelder cut.

Can’t play John without some Alice. Her debut album, she plays piano on side A and harp on side B. Original ‘68 Impulse pressing. Stunningly beautiful. #jazzsky

Enjoying the 2016 Music Matters mono reissue of this classic. What a group, and what an album!

My first post here on Bluesky. How do you do? Nice to be back on social media since closing my Twitter account in Oct. 2022. I live for great journalism, the arts, and especially jazz, and most especially jazz on vinyl.

Now playing this sultry classic from 1967, mono, Monarch pressing.
