I Accidentally Got Addicted to OG Jazz Vinyl Records!

[@hunnawhite247]

Also guys I found an OG Grant Green “Street of Dreams” recently at goodwill for 79 cents, it is still possible to find these in the wild if you can’t afford resale!!

[@rocktheclock240]

Just ran across your channel recently. Not only are you really informative, you have a very genial, trustworthy personality that goes a million miles in promoting your vinyl interest. Well done. You've found your Life Niche, clearly. Lucky guy.

[@xentakis]

There is something really special about getting a near mint copy of a jazz record from the 50s. It’s a feeling of holding a piece of history or being transported in time. That said, I like to focus on more under the radar stuff like old Clef and Moodsville records. OG Blue Note, Riverside, and New Jazz are just out of my budget unfortunately.

[@greghawkins229]

Don’t give up. Bought an OG Kenny Burrell minty record

[@Jamko1970]

The OG Blue Note's and Impulse are incredible sounding. Nice collection you have.

[@noblerecords]

Thanks!!!

[@randomsuper]

I’ve developed a crazy jazz addiction lately. Wish I had the funds for some og presses but the blue note classic and tone poets have kept me satisfied for now.

[@JimmyV1530]

Agree !

[@stevecasey6126]

randomsuper, if you look for some of the less super-popular titles and artists, you can still find plenty of cool OG Riverside, Prestige, Candid, Blue Notes, etc. in VG+ condition for pretty good value, especially late 60s and 70s LPs and reissues. They sound good! I discovered some great artists I didn't know about by looking deep.

[@randomsuper]

@@stevecasey6126 for sure! thanks man!

[@ab3000x]

Very nice collection! I'm on the look out for Elvin Jones & Richard Davis "Heavy Sounds" like the one you showed a few weeks ago. I have a little collection of Elvin's LPs but not that one yet. Lately Ive been listening to Art Blakey , Elvin, and a few other of the top drummers because that's what sounds best out of my speakers.

[@garysvinyldungeon2764]

I started listening to jazz about 3 yrs ago, I've picked up about 100 or more albums over that time.

HUGE fan of Ronnie Laws on Blue Note, owned three of his vinyls in the 80's. Cried when it scratched. First heard his music on late news, they rolled NFL and NBA scores over his music.

[@jamesjackson2766]

I thought I was a Hard Rock fan forever, then I heard Dave Brubeck Quartets Time Out...... Yeah hooked!!!!

[@alexmelisz7724]

Perfect timing! The shop I work at just brought in a big collection of OG jazz pressings, Mobley's Message, Tenor Madness, Jutta Hipp with Zoot Sims, Blue Lights Warhol cover, etc. Should give us a ring if you fancy any of em :)

[@go4celerity413]

Been on an original jazz buying spree myself lately. Picked up a clean original of St. James Infirmary by Louis Armstrong and his Ballroom Five, 1927 press, four Jimmie Noone records, three Johnny Dodds, five by Fess Williams, three by Frankie Trumbaur, a 1924 pressing of Jelly Roll Morton on Gennett, all clean and from the same era. If you happen on a vintage (20s-30s) jazz collection you’d prefer to move in bulk rather than piece out I’d be interested.

[@gregshelt1187]

Great stuff in this video. I partially hold you to blame for my new obsession into jazz. One of your early videos about starting a jazz collection opened the flood gates. Budget does not allow tracking down OGs, but the hunt is awesome.

[@noblerecords]

Oh no! Haha well I hope you’re enjoying it!

[@henricusinstitoris2325]

Lmao same here

[@stereo999]

Good stuff. A few of my favorites and a few I've never seen before (like most of your videos lol). The Empty Foxhole is an interesting record. The first album with Ornette's son playing drums (at age 10), and Ornette himself trying instruments he didn't usually play (trumpet, violin).

[@richardfeaster864]

Look up some of reviews of the Empty Foxhole if you want a good laugh…

[@robertyeoman1057]

An amazing selection. Here in Australia OG copies are outside my budget. Later pressings and quality reissues offer listeners an alternative to an amazing American contribution to the music world.

No need to apologize. Jazz Vinyl is LIFE! Out of 44 cubes of vinyl, 43.5 of mine are jazz. Also don't worry about keeping any of those Blue Notes, you can just send them my way.

Covid - - Got me - - while on lock down 2 - 3 years ago & watching all the KZbin vinyl guys - - Jazz kept coming up - - so what the hell i figured I would give it a try & then Blue Note started endlessly re-release all this so called classic & Tone Poet albums. Dam - - just like you, now I have another genre to spend $$ on. Ugh ! 🙃Lee Morgan is my favorite along with John Coltrane / Blue Train was my 1st - - got me hooked.

[@designago7958]

Love that Ike Quebec. Needs another reissue.

[@mikeables]

Ha Ha When you get a good stereo that acoustic stuff starts taking on a new life. A bunch of my stereo test track are jazz files because if they don't sound good you know right away something in the system is off. I like it sometimes but I am still a rocker at heart. One of my favorite test tracks is Walking on the Moon by Yuri Honing Trio on Star Tracks. The drums have to bang and the horns have to sound smooth as silk. I bet it sounds great on those speakers you have.

[@christianoliver3572]

Collecting jazz can become addicting. The best jazz challenges you to figure out where the musicians are going next. It often doesn't follow any kind of musical pattern that would make sense in other types of music. That's why it's great but that's also why it's not for everyone. I love putting on some great jazz, pouring a snifter of a brown alcoholic beverage neat usually bourbon, putting on my smoking jacket and indulging in a really good cigar. I just turned 50 this year so maybe now I might come across a some type of stereotype but I've listened to jazz and enjoyed it at least 35 years so maybe not so stereotypical as some might think. I inherited a vast jazz collection from my grandfather with some even going back as far as 78s of some very well known jazz and also some fairly obscure stuff. I listen to and collect everything but country but I prize my jazz collection.

[@JohnMacRae23]

[@mattlupu152]

I only have three OG 50's jazz albums but OMG do they sound amazing. Can't really afford most of them. A little jealous of your collection though.

[@richardsteele3272]

Jazz like other music definitely sounds better on a good HI FI, and you do appreciate it a lot more. It's like as your music collections grows, then you upgrade your stereo. Then your music collection branches out into different genres because of how much better music sounds. Now you are collecting more, and you like more music (It's a vicious cycle) lol. It's like discovering something new, and like myself you discover Led Zeppelin and you are surprised how much of their music you like.Then you listen to an album all the way through and you are hooked. Led Zeppelin becomes your favorite group. My Sister who is two years younger than me in recent years Zeppelin became her all-time favorite. So I have bought her the new Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin remasters on Cd. I remember when she was young her boyfriend owned Led Zeppelin 2 and In Through The Out Door but she never indicated Zeppelin were her favorite. But I know back then she heard me jamming to all of their albums i had on cassette. I did order Japanese Led Zeppelin 1 & 2 on Album and played them once and gently put back in their sleeve. Now my Sister's favorite group is Led Zeppelin but she is not so open minded about music as I am. In fact she really did not listen to music in her car or in her home. So I got her to order a new stereo for her car so I could install it for her. Plus she had a bookshelf stereo with Wharfdale speakers setting next to it. The stereo was not set up to play so I hooked it up. So every chance I made a reason to buy her Led Zeppelin cds. I got her Black Sabbath one too because she had a couple cds and one was Paranoid, so I got her Master Of Reality. All of the Zeppelin cds she has I got them for her. I am trying to get her to listen to more music. I just don't understand how a person does not have music in their life.With that being said I'm really a little envious of you because your job is in music, and you really do have a dream job.

Ike Quebec is one of the most magical saxophonists that Blue Note has ever released. He has the restraint and soul of the big band era and BN was generally not a label that fostered that kind of sound. The way Van Gelder captured him was unique and it was some of his best engineering (not mixing or mastering necessarily, but just the actual mic-ing of wind instruments in particular, but the rest of the band as well).

Ugh. You're scratching that jazz itch I have. My jazz collection is not too big but it is good. I just keep thinking about the lost opportunities. I started collecting before prices started going thru the roof. 3rd Street Jazz & Rock in Philly was considered one of the best jazz record stores ever (especially for Sun Ra, he living here and all). I don't know. I do know I met Sonic Youth there once. My point is, I only did a jazz deep dive there once. Unfortunately, they closed in 98. Your knowledge & collection is second to none.
