What's Spinning

McCoy Tyner ‎– The Real McCoy (Blue Note, Jazz At 33⅓ rpm 2016 pressing)

Finally got around to listening to this. I believe it was @Mr Moore who first brought the series to my attention (always looking for me to spend money that guy!) and its just mind-bogglingly good for the £10 price it goes for. I picked up 2 that I knew I wouldn't be getting the first presses of any time soon (so McCoy and Lee Morgan - Indeed!) and I will certainly be thinking about picking up some more if they are all of this quality.

Gigi Gryce Quintet ‎– Saying Somethin'! (New Jazz, 1960 first Mono Pressing, Deep Groove)

This has to be my 'discovery' of the year. I was aware of Gigi Gryce (he's on Lee Morgan - Vol 3 & Clifford Brown - Memorial Album) but this is the first time I have heard him as the lead. It's just a breathtaking hard bop session, with all sidemen killing it with some hard and fast solos. Give this album a listen and I bet you won't be disappointed!

This was going to be my third week of clues for the November ROTM. I had planned to do a crossover of clues between here and the AOTM thread. Let's see if you can guess the common theme between all of these(although now that you know what it is, you'll probably guess it right away...)

First up...
