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!
