The Vinyl Countdown # 380

Sonny Rollins, The Sound of Sonny (1957) One of the earlier Sonny Rollins albums – his first for the Riverside label. Well he’d made several albums by this point, and all rather quickly, over a couple of years, but 1957 is a crucial, pivotal year. And I think of this as one of the earliest […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 524

Roy Haynes, We Three (1959) I’ve looked at this album for years – years – always wanted it. Pure and simple Roy Haynes is a mutha! 92 years old and still hitting – still so good, but one of the greatest and most recorded drummers in jazz. A hero. And so much more. And here […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1397

Art Pepper, Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section (1957) I’d heard a bit of Art Pepper and a bit about Art Pepper and then I heard this. And this was just it. Replete with the story: Pepper was nervous – he found out about the session the day it took place. The Rhythm Section refers […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1583

Sonny Rollins, Tenor Madness (1956) It’s the title track that was the selling point – Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane duking it out – but it’s the least interesting track on the album for me (still, it is the selling point). One of my favourite albums of all time – one of the early touchstones […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1600

Miles Davis, Kind Of Blue (1959) I just can’t imagine being without this album – even though I don’t listen to it all that much anymore. I bought a vinyl copy about two years ago. I must have bought a dozen copies on CD. Seriously. Different reissues – but also just to give away to […]
