connoisseur series500 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Order placed yesterday for: Reuben Wilson, "Groovy Situation" Richard Groove Holmes, "Book of the Blues" vol 1 Duke Pearson, "The Phantom." ...the bastards! Quote
jazzkrow Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 They get my money probably 2 or 3 times a month. Those damn "New Arrival" lists they send out every Wednesday night are so enticing... Plus they get your orders out real fast. I also get a real kick out of their descriptions-every new week's arrivals are always "the best ever" or "beyond belief." The only thing they do not offer are "music samples." Oh, wait....Wednesday again Gotta go.. Wonder what is new this week. Quote
Eric Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 anybody know this one? WES MONTGOMERY/ JON HENDRICKS/ MASTERSOUNDS Good Git-Together (plus Kismet -- A Jazz Interpretation By The Mastersounds) An obscure set of tracks -- but some really wonderful material from the catalog of Pacific Jazz Records! The first 10 tracks on the CD are from the album Good Git Together by Jon Hendricks -- a rare early non-LHR session by the jazz vocalist -- and the last 8 tracks feature The Mastersounds! I am wondering about the "Wes content" ... ? Quote
Pete B Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I just sprang for Manny Albam Jazz Greats of Our Time (who can resist that lineup?) and Hans Koller Exclusiv (which includes a hard to find Oscar Pettiford leader session which I have only as a cdr of a tape dub from a noisy vinyl. Koller is no slouch in his own right) Quote
Joe G Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 What's the meaning of the whole "bastards" thing? Or is it one of those if you have to ask... Quote

I am wondering about the "Wes content" ... ? I have the LP of this. It is a great record. Wes is at the top of his game. So is Cannonball and Nat Adderley. Quote
Matthew Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 What's the meaning of the whole "bastards" thing? Or is it one of those if you have to ask... It's a "JSngryism" that he always uses when talking about Dusty Groove. Quote
JSngry Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 What's the meaning of the whole "bastards" thing? Or is it one of those if you have to ask... It's a good-natured poke at a quality retailer whose site is impossible to visit w/o dropping some bucks. As to who originated the phrase, I haven't a clue... Quote
jazzbo Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I've stayed away lately, which is good. . . but if they would get those CBBB cds in. . . .! Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Posted June 24, 2004 What's the meaning of the whole "bastards" thing? Or is it one of those if you have to ask... It's a good-natured poke at a quality retailer whose site is impossible to visit w/o dropping some bucks. As to who originated the phrase, I haven't a clue... Sangry definitely originated it, but I've purloined it. As soon as I first saw Jim refer to Dusty's in that manner, I instantly recognized the message. Dusty's is a great place to visit and empty your pockets (the bastards!) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Yup, whatever anyone said. They be a GREAT source for a bunch of stuff we like. All need to understand, nomatter the hippness of the "site", their inventory is small. Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Yeah but obviously not small enough. Quote
sheldonm Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I will actually be there plus the Jazz Record Mart on Sunday !!! Quote
Peter Johnson Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I will actually be there plus the Jazz Record Mart on Sunday !!! You bastard!!!! Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I will actually be there plus the Jazz Record Mart on Sunday !!! Small inventory or not may your pockets be deep. Quote
sheldonm Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 The great thing about those bastards is that with the limited cds they have, many are difficult to find elsewhere without a lot of digging. Prices are good on some items, not so good on others. That said, I still seem to always leave there with a handful !!! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Please say "hi" to both JRM and DG people for me. They both get bucks from me. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted June 25, 2004 Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 I will actually be there plus the Jazz Record Mart on Sunday !!! Be sure to ask them when they plan to copyright their name as "Dusty Groove (the bastards!)" B) Quote
sheldonm Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Please say "hi" to both JRM and DG people for me. They both get bucks from me. ...will do! By the way, you recommended Car City Records on my recent trip to Detroit. I did pick up several items; thanks for the tip! Quote
sheldonm Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I will actually be there plus the Jazz Record Mart on Sunday !!! Be sure to ask them when they plan to copyright their name as "Dusty Groove (the bastards!)" B) Paul, I'm sure they will look at me like this , but I'll be glad to ask! Quote
Brandon Burke Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 I order this kind of stuff from Turntable Lab waaaay more often than Dusty Groove. Their reviews are hilarious and they offer audio samples to boot. Look for the "Funk in the Trunk" section along the left-hand side. These guys are definately more hip hop-centric in their view of things but they know their stuff.... Quote
jazzbo Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Okay, I went there yesterday and ordered the two new Water releases (they have a killer price!) and two Brazilian cds (again, well priced!) Quote
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Car City Records..........Detroit. Too bad they ditched their old website with the bold-looking burlesque lass w/sax as a logo. Quote
sheldonm Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 I stopped in to see those bastards yesterday and picked up a few new ones. ~Illinois Jacquet/Desert Winds ~Sonny Stitt/Personal Appearance ~James Moody/James Moody ~StanGetz & Chet Baker/ Live at the Haig 1953 and one by Woody Shaw on 32Jazz. The funny thing about his one is that is had two cds in it (although it's a single cd recording) and count em....two sets of liner notes....how weird is this ? Mark Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Posted July 29, 2004 Just ordered: Donnie Hathaway, "Live" Roland Kirk, "Live in London, 1964" Roy Brooks, "Beat" Jack McDuff, "Moonrapper" (I can't vouch for the exact titles, but I think that's it!) Quote
