Thanks! Arrived today so gonna give it a spin tomorrow

Buyers beware of Japanese shipping options like EMS. I have paid an extra 25 euros for that option. Promised to arrive within 2-3 days. Now I did calculate that clearance and handling would take more than that but after 4 days, the package haven’t even left the country. chose this option because another package got lost and another took 1,5 month to arrive. I feel a bit ripped off...

I’ve got the Japanese version but shipping costs to the US are ridiculous.... sorry Felser!

Philly Joe on Archie Shepp French recordings for America.

Just out pure curiosity: why?

According to the Norwegian seller, shipping to USA is 5 euros without jewel case and 8 with one. That’s not unreasonable!

Sorry to have missed that. Would have liked to read what she had to say. My wife hates jazz from the bottom of her heart. But hey.... practice makes perfect. After listening for a good ten years to my music she could accept stuff like Adderley, Bean, Prez, Oscar Peterson, Grant Green and so on. She loves Lady Day. Well, it was enough for me to ask her to marry me. But free jazz stays a no go. When I am listening to it and she enters the room I even feel some kind of misplaced guilt... Like I am watching dirty porn or something... She really has the worst taste in music possible. My wife likes everything that's in a Top list of popular music. And the very worst thing she likes: lame solo piano versions of popular songs. Elevator music you know. But hey: I still love her.

Hope it's just a cold! My 1.5 year old son had a fever two weeks ago. Wanted to get him tested but they warned us that the test was really an awful experience for such a young child. So we stayed at home for a week and then it appeared to be the sixth disease, or Roseola as some people call it I thinks. Anyway, nothing bad fortunately. My boy can see his grandparents again

Yeah there is of course the chance of getting taxed on top of it. I’ll make up the total costs ordering this way trough Buyee and ordering them seperately trough the regular shops. But for now I am going to have a lot of patience!

Still not available for pre-order. Anyone who knows more?

Well I’ve placed a pretty big order. If I would have ordered trough Amazon.de, eBay and Discogs I would have paid more than 200 dollars more plus not every item was availble there. But still: most of the time what seems to good te be trough...... I keep you guys informed if this is recommendable or not. So when the order has arrived ( which is probably going to take a very, very long time) I share my experience. I have used Buyee btw. Kupiku will never be my choice again as they are more expensive, offer less options, and still have a defect website.

Was listening to that yesterday! Beautiful tribute indeed. The version of In A Sentimental Mood is beautiful and show some signs of the style he played in in his later days.

I do hope so Brad. Been waiting for 6 weeks now for mine!

Yeah OP always manages to surprise me as well. Sometimes in a bad way but also sometimes in a good way

Two Dutch websites mention august as the month of releasing The Kicker and Its Time....

i did it....

That’s crazy! No I’ll support my local record store with new releases

Up till now I wasn’t really interested in the releases of these series but McLeans’s It’s Time and Hutcherson’s The Kicker got my attention. And they are both scheduled for release this month...

Anyone who knows if the June releases are postponed or something? I would think that around this time they must be available for per order. Or am I just a bit impatient?

Seems like a very appropriate playlist for this coming week!

That’s a great one!

Have two orders from Japan. One was shipped on the 24th of April and still has not arrived. The other one was shipped on the 25th of May and arrived today. Now that’s weird...

With Mal Waldron, Fred Braceful and Raoul Walton. Did not knew this guy but I am pleasantly surprised. Nice funky modal playing. Braceful is in prime form!

Nah I don't do that stuff. I can name plenty of examples. Just to name a few: the Maturity series by Mal Waldron. And more recently I found a copy of Thierry Bruneau's Live at the Kave. Also, sometimes they are to be found on Discogs but for ridiculous prices. 60 euros, 70 euros or even 100 +. These proxy sites count multiple shipping costs and of course a fee but then still the items are way cheaper. Plus those sites also give access to for example Rakuten and Yahoo Japan. Anyway, apparently I am the only one on the board who has used these kind of websites? Did not expect that!

I’m really talking bout the stuff you can’t find nowhere else. Also not on Discogs.
