Record Store Day Jazz Album Preview (Part One)

[@PensivePoet97]

Great collection. Bill Evans is always top tier and is an inspiration as a pianist🎶🙏🏾

[@musiconrecord6724]

Every year I look forward to your RSD jazz preview videos. Is Zev trying to bankrupt us?!!! Thanks so much for these detailed breakdowns.

[@mazzysmusic]

Thank you for watching ✌🏼

[@djvinylvertigo]

Most of these weren't even on my list, Mazzy!! What a conundrum. So many terrific releases this time!!

[@MovieCurator13]

Interesting reviews. I like the honesty. That Sister Rosetta Tharpe album looks cool. There is a preview track from this album available on Spotify. It sounds amazing. Her guitar playing and singing are on point! I hope you are able to review the Brother Jack McDuff RSD release on another video. I have my eye on that one too. Definitely getting the Bill Evans and this Tharpe, as well as the Band X release. All four LPs I'm interested in are RSD firsts but I'm still going on RSD.

"You never know what you are going to get with SUN RA". I agree. Today I happened to look at the hype sticker on a reissue of a Terry Adams Solo release. Sun Ra appeared on it. Here is Sun Ra's quote on the sticker. "He may not speak the same language as most people but he can reach them anyway". Was that about Terry Adams or was it third person? lol

[@dg723254]

I see some money being spent on some of these! Saw Sun Ra in Boston in 1977. Haven't seen anything like it since. Great review Mazzy!

[@jimmccloskey4254]

Art Tatum - for me he has been a revelation. I too purchased, $25 for the 14 vinyl box set.

[@jimmccloskey4254]

It’s bought this. When something gets a MAZ ‘buy this, it works for me. BTW - I did the same when you highlighted Ry Cooder. Keep the finds going.

[@hurkamur1]

Mazzy, that is a beautiful porkpie hat. 💯

[@jaz1doc]

I have the excellent Owen Broder "Hodges" LP Vol 1 which I still think is available on Bandcamp. He often plays with Anat Cohen

[@jansonkyle255]

You may get to these in part two, but the ones I'm most looking out for this RSD: Cannonball Adderley - Burnin' in Bordeaux '69/Poppin' in Paris '72 (they must be keeping these tapes in wine cellars over there) Brother Jack McDuff - Ain't No Sunshine Manu Dibango - Manu '76 Pharoah Sanders - 7" edits from the 1977 "Pharoah" (India Navigations) (Also, I think the R Crumb, Cheap Suit Serendaders qualifies as "jazz".) And one last thing. There's yet another Charles Mingus comp, "Reincarnations", from his Candid sessions. To my knowledge there's never been a complete Candid Sessions collection, but, by god, we're due. Can we end this constant recycling and just put it all out on a couple of LPs?

[@robertwood2490]

Please mention your hat source?

[@diamond_marimba]

feels like the graphic design doesn't match the love and attention to detail that is present on the recordings, agree?

[@mazzysmusic]

The Tharpe and the Tatum are the best.

[@diamond_marimba]

@mazzysmusic agree the others are dreadful

[@Vlekistan]

Here’s a question for you. I’m an old fart who has seen everybody imaginable up yep about 1990. I also need a walker now. But I am DYING to start going to some cool small jazz clubs where they play the kind of music you showcase, even though those cats are sadly all dead.not looking to see big stars or anything, probably just good local blokes in a nice cozy joint. ……. Signed, Maynard G. Krebb’s twin sister. In Berkeley CA

[@mazzysmusic]

It all depends where you live. In Seattle here there’s a club called the Royal Room. Lots of new jazz arts and smaller known ones play there. It’s great.

[@Vlekistan]

@@mazzysmusic Berkeley CA or SF.

[@2WheelsGood]

regarding the bill evans, completely agree on the 33 vs double 45. the flow to me is waaaaay more important than whether not if I A/B'd them and noticed the 45 being better. life is too short to flip so much, not to mention, if you have a woman's company, you're definitely not putting on a double 45 ; )

[@ivansbacon]

Ommm, eye Gawd. Rosetta Tharp is Fu k ing fantastic. "Didn't it rain" - Top of my list. Not sure it will be available here in anchorage. (such a small market) Pick me one up mazzy. I wlll come to seattle and get it. I will be in line all night here and then get on a plane for the Neil Young tour opener in San Diego. I am with you on Sun Ra. Technically someone from Saturn would be an alien. Space IS the place Thanks, i got my Dizzy records. Bonus !

[@robertwood2490]

JAZZ YES!

[@CLIVOTA]

Beautiful hat ! Where did you get it??? Great jazz preview!

[@mazzysmusic]

Many years ago. Don’t recall. But seek out Pork Pie hats.

[@birdy1numnum]

*I have a question, why do you get these vinyls in advance!? Are you a certified "influencer"?*

[@mazzysmusic]

I think it was my magnetic personality 😵‍💫😎

[@williamcardina89]

Hey I just figured it out! You, Mazzy, are the 21st Century Ralph J Gleason incarnate. What a great tradition you have carried on. Jack Sheldon was really funny on Merv.

[@mazzysmusic]

Ralph knew way more about jazz than I will ever know. And he was a great writer too. And his love of the psychedelic Bay Area bands.

[@williamcardina89]

@@mazzysmusic You have heard about the new biography right?

[@tgh2048]

A friend saw Sun Ra and Sonic Youth together in Central Park, 1992. Drummer Steve Shelley told me that day was amazing for the band as well. The Arkestra is still going with 99 year old Marshall Allen leading!

[@user-wc5gi2lz3n]

Great selection Mazzola - got to get that Sun Ra thing ....

[@richardp.341]

Loved the Maynard reference. Hats off to Dobie as well.

[@Vlekistan]

I changed my whole dress code for Maynard and never went back.

[@Vlekistan]

Great episode! My horizons are definitely broadening. I know all these names and have a few like Sun Ra and YL but more to look for. goodies!

[@Davidicus-m8c]

bet that bill evans album will sound great!!

[@VinylDan]

Everybody's Sister! Rosetta Tharpe. Getting her due. and Mighty Warriors! You continue to cause me cash hemorrhages...Thanks Mazzy. You vocabulary spans many generations.

[@duckbrew]

I'd like to get into Sun Ra. Where do I start??!

[@mazzysmusic]

Maybe this one www.discogs.com/release/24649922-Sun-Ra-The-Futuristic-Sounds-Of-Sun-Ra-

[@mikel5582]

Trust Mazzy's advice first. After that maybe check out the album "Space Is the Place".

❤❤❤

[@Davidicus-m8c]

had to notice, its cool you have that duke ellington and johnny hodges record too, norman,, !!

[@jonathanergueta]

Was hoping you would talk about sun ra ‘pink elephant on parade’ that’s also spectacular.

[@mazzysmusic]

I’ll pick that up myself on RSD

[@spectrum_archives]

Looking forward to that one!

[@4-dman464]

Hello there. I'm a *subscriber* here since about *4 years* ago. In all that time I never requested any particular video. I'm about to. Not yet - - but take daily vitamin supplements in preparation - - Vit. D, Magnesium, B, C, the whole ballgame.

[@chrisnicol1644]

Mazzy.... I'm going to have to cut lawns this spring... But Sister Rosetta looks interesting...

[@mazzysmusic]

You should do that anyway 🪵🌿🌱

[@chrisnicol1644]

@@mazzysmusic Just to raise money to buy your recommendation's...

[@maxhirsch7035]

'Saturnian' would be the proper demonym for Sun Ra. First saw them at Bard College in December of 1986- a peak musical experience! Then several times after that in NY and MA (a great Disney Tunes show there at the Iron Horse, Noho). Some wonderful/treasured albums of his IMO- Sound of Joy, Strange Celestial Road (a rather singular recorded manifestation of him to my ears), Blue Delight, Purple Night, Live at the Pit-Inn, Tokyo, 8/8/88; Destination Unknown; and then rarer, less-produced live recordings like Cosmo Sun Connection.

[@glenmoon]

I can’t handle Sun Ra. Just like later day Coltrane is a little too out there for me. I already have a good copy of a 1980’s reissue Original Jazz Classics of Everybody Digs Bill Evans so I may just get Yusef Lateef album or maybe nothing. I actually am curious about the Brother Jack McDuff album

[@mazzysmusic]

He is an acquired taste but has sone very accessible albums too. You just need to know.

[@simonvaughan7325]

'The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy' had the Babelfish as a translation device.

[@mazzysmusic]

Of course. I think Star track had something similar too 🤷🏻‍♂️
