What's Spinning

Dexter Gordon - Soy Califa - Live From Magleaas Højskole 1967 (Gearbox Records, 2014 Limited First Pressing)

In the early 60's Gordon moved to Europe and was met with open arms and kindness (he was leaving America as coming out from a dark place personally with heavy drug use). To give thanks back to the people he would regularly set up free live events and workshops at schools and colleges. This session is from an adult learning school in '67 and its stunning (the live video is available on youtube!)

Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane - Kenny Burrell & John Coltrane (New Jazz, 1962 First Mono Pressing)

An absolute killer release on the New Jazz label. I still can't believe I picked this up for the price I paid. I managed to get this late last year at Honest Jon's in London for a ridiculous price, along with some other vinyl goodies. Such a good day.
