ralphie_boy Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Been on a Proper Box kick lately - just picked up the Nat Cole set in additon to the Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray. Quote
Alexander Hawkins Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Just got the Complete Bill Evans and Complete Monk Riverside boxes. So they shouldn't take me too long, then. B) Quote
SEK Posted May 19, 2003 Report Posted May 19, 2003 Today I received, from Dusty Groove, Randy Weston's "African Rhythms" ("African Cookbook" and "Niles Little Big") CD, a very nice recording on the French "Comet" label from 1969. Two other recent acquisitions are very recent releases on Michigan's "Entropy Stereo" label: "Ashirai Pattern" by Faruq Z. Bey w/ Northwoods Improvisers (I'm really enjoying this one) and Griot Galaxy's "Live at the D.I.A. 1983" (I think I'd like this better with a little editing/fading of the crowd noise, but, as it is, it documents a good Griot Galaxy concert with decent sound. Also I think that with the continuing resurgence of Sun Ra's popularity and with certain current Chicago trends that get a lot of buzz, having some Griot Galaxy in print is great and should be eye-opening for many.) Faruq Z. Bey continues to grow, creating compelling music with the support of the Northwoods Improvisers and some longer-time musical collaborators. I've heard that the Faruq and Northwoods concert last weekend in Ferndale (which included 3 additional saxophonists in the ensemble) was rather spectacular and very well received. Unfortunately, I could not attend... Quote

wulfman Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Picked up Fathead Newman's Under a Woodstock Moon for $3 from a clearance bin. Excellent session from 1996. I really need to get some more Fathead...any suggestions welcome. Quote
slsmcgrew Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 Coming in the mail: Phil Coulter--Lake of Shadows Trick Pony--On a Mission Quote
catesta Posted May 20, 2003 Report Posted May 20, 2003 The last few would be... John Coltrane - Stardust Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster Charles McPherson - Be-Bop Revisited Quote
BruceH Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 (edited) Picked up Fathead Newman's Under a Woodstock Moon for $3 from a clearance bin. Excellent session from 1996. I really need to get some more Fathead...any suggestions welcome. There used to be a budget double-CD that had two albums on each disc----four records-worth, supposedly his best Atlantics. I'm not getting anything til that comes back into print, damnit! Also got the three new Columbia Armstrong Hot Fives&Sevens w/liners by Giddins. Forgot about that. (Had the music on vinyl for decades.) And "Hard Drive," an early Blakey with Johnny Griffin and Junior Mance. Not bad, but not great. Edited May 21, 2003 by BruceH Quote
Jazzmoose Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 J'Moose, I don't think I'm the only one who see The Essential Sly Stone and Tear the Roof Off in your future soon. One disc anthologies simply aren't enough with these men. You could be right with Sly, but I'm afraid I've developed a SERIOUS Parliament/Funkadelic jones that NO compilation can cure; I see a major buying spree on my horizon... Quote
Claude Posted May 21, 2003 Report Posted May 21, 2003 (edited) Today's pickups from the second hand vinyl bin: James Newton - Romance and Revolution (Blue Note, 1986) A brilliant set, comparable to the better known "African flower" Andrew Hill - From California with Love (Artists House, 1978) A solo recording. Haven't listened to it yet. A gatefold LP with an 8 page booklet Edited May 21, 2003 by Claude Quote
Templejazz Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 (edited) Scored a host of new CD's with some B-Day money last week! Herbie Hancock - Thrust Horace Silver - The Tokyo Blues Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' Art Blakey - Indestructible! Art Blakey - The Witch Doctor ( I like this one better than Roots 'n Herbs ) Bobby Timmons - Soul Time Blue Mitchell - The Cup Bearers Edited August 12, 2003 by Templejazz Quote
ralphie_boy Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 I also just picked up Moon Rappin' and I'm liking it quite a bit! I just ordered Horace Tapscott's DARK TREE Vol 1and 2 and I'm looking forward to hearing this highly recommended session. Quote
sidewinder Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 Just picked up an original NYC vinyl pressing of Grant Green's 'The Latin Bit'. £3 in the bargain bins no less ! A few OOP Mosaics on LP as well to devour. Taylor/Neidlinger, Desmond/Hall and Quebec/Hardee. Quote
vibes Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 After a dry spell, I've bought quite a few CD's in the last month: Art Blakey Mosaic Illinois Jacquet Mosaic Jack McDuff - Moon Rappin' (great AOW choice!) Art Blakey - Indestructible Sonny Rollins - Vol. 1 Horace Silver - The Horace Silver Trio Dexter Gordon - Our Man in Paris Sonny Stitt - New York Jazz Dorothy Ashby - Afro-Harping (really digging this one, too) Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges Jimmy Giuffre - The Easy Way Stan Getz - Reflections I've been really impressed with the recent BN and Verve reissues. Lots of great albums out there. Quote
Peter Johnson Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 Just placed an order (thanks, Cheap-CDs.com!) for McDuff, "Moonrappin'" Gene Harris and the Three Sounds, "Live at the It Club" v. 1 & 2 Bob Belden, "Black Dahlia" Can't wait to get them!!! Quote
pryan Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 Just got back from purchasing: Art Pepper: MEETS THE RHYTHM SECTION Gene Harris Quartet: LISTEN HERE! (SACD) Quote
catesta Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 Art Blakey - Indestructible Sonny Rollins - Vol. 1 Horace Silver - The Horace Silver Trio Pepper Adams - Urban Dreams Quote
lukrion Posted August 12, 2003 Report Posted August 12, 2003 I just upgraded my Collectors choice of Art Blakey, Indestructible. Haven't cracked it open yet. I also bought the Blue Note SACD Blue Train. Have to check that out with RVG looking as if he had his hand in the DSD process. Non-Jazz. Captain Beefheart and the Magic band, Grow Fins Box-set and Dust Sucker, Bat Chain Puller, which was some major chump-change. Quote
jacknife Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 (edited) Horace Silver - Silver's Serenade Donald Byrd - Blackjack, Fuego Les McCann - In New York Jimmy Smith - I'm Movin' On Art Blakey - Indestructable, Ritual Sonny Rollins - V1 John Coltrane - Blue Train Konitz Meets Mulligan Dexter Gordon - Our Man In Paris Lou Donaldson - Everything I Play Is Funky Roland Kirk - We Free Kings Whew, and I think I'm forgetting a few. At this pace I'm quickly running out of storage space (and money)! Edited August 13, 2003 by jacknife Quote
DrJ Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 Found something kind of interesting this weekend - an advance, promo copy of the Thelonious Monk COLUMBIA YEARS 3 CD boxed set. It has all the music as well as the liners, but they are on tray cards that you have to read through clear CD holding trays, only a minor annoyance. Best of all was that it cost only $14 used. Normally would not have gone for the box, but easily worth $14 to get the few odds and ends tracks not readily available elsewhere (although most are now appearing on the new Legacy reissues of his Columbia dates).

Normally would not have gone for the box, but easily worth $14 to get the few odds and ends tracks not readily available elsewhere (although most are now appearing on the new Legacy reissues of his Columbia dates). You can get this box set from BMG club for about $4.50/cd when you do the 12 for 1 enroll deal. The sponsor (5 free) / new enrollment (12 for 1) is even better, since you get 17 CDs for the price of 1. I bought the Herbie Hancock 4-CD clear box set thru BMG with this membership deal.

Gary Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 I,ve picked up over the last couple of weeks JJ Johnson- Mosaic Sam Rivers - Mosaic (from Ebay) Lee Morgan- Infinity AEC box Phil Grenadier - Playful Intentions Quote
WD45 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Posted August 13, 2003 This week: Tal Farlow - Complete 1956 Private Recordings on Definitive. [Evil, I know, but I had to have them.] $16.99 at Dusty Groove. Eddie Costa is the man. Last night: Grant Green - His Majesty King Funk /Donald Byrd - Up with... This is killer. Interesting to hear Larry Young and Grant with Ben Dixon rather than Elvin. Harold Vick kicks some ass on this too! $5.98 Lester Bowie New York Organ Ensemble - Funky T Cool T on DIW. James Carter, Steve Turre, and others. Smokin'! Only $5.98! Quote
