Great Finds (CD version)

[ejp626]

Dusty Groove has a very limited amount of used CDs. I don't think they put them on-line like they do with the used vinyl.

Probably the best I've picked up there was Krzysztof Komeda Astigmatic (the version with the video interview with Zofia Komeda) for $6.

The last time I was there (last week) they still had Patton's Memphis to New York Spirit for a low price. They might be willing to dig it out and sell it over the phone.

I don't know how difficult it is to find, but I picked up Urbie Green's Blues & Other Shades of Green at the Borders on State & Randolph yesterday. Anything with Freddie Green is alright with me!

my favorite finds were probably all mosaic sets that went out of print before i started buying jazz:

count basie - the complete roulette live recordings mosaic (no box/book) for $20

nat king cole - the complete capitol recordings of the nat king cole trio for $120

duke ellington - the complete reprise studio recordings for $30

[Alexander Hawkins]

I LOVE that Ellington set - especially the Mary Poppins and Afro Bossa albums.

[AndrewHill]

remember one time at the Exchange a couple of years ago a bunch of jazz cd's were in their dollar bin:

Don Cherry/Ed Blackwell-El Corazon-ECM

Don Cherry-Dona Nostra-ECM

Henry Threadgill and Makin' a Move-Where's Your Cup?-Columbia

Henry Threadgill-Makin' a Move-Columbia

William Parker-Peach Orchid-AUM Fidelity

New York Ear and Eye Control-ECM

Tony Williams-Spring-BN

James Newton-Suite for Frida Kahlo-Audiophile

And there was nothing wrong with these cds! Someone really goofed there.

Just picked up a copy of SF Jazz Collective Live 2006, the two disc limited edition for 7.99.

An online find, but for some reason Allegro had a new copy of the out-of-print first Ivie Anderson/Duke Ellington Hep last week (RAISIN' THE RENT) for $12. I came across it on Amazon Marketplace--got the CD in the mail today, and the listing is gone. Haven't checked the Allegro site, but I know it's OOP and that vendors usually want a steep sum for it. Been on my wish-list for awhile, even though I have a fair amount of the material already... a nice tide-me-over until the Ellington Mosaic finally comes out (fingers still crossed on that one).

Found the Clark Terry/Tubby Hayes New York Sessions on Columbia cd for $5. Long out of print.......

Nice job and great music too. Found my copy for $6 at Half Price a few years back.

Hello,

I scored a couple of audiophile versions a couple of weeks ago:

Bill Evans "Portrait of Jazz" DCC (GOLD CD)

Bill Evans "Interplay" DCC (GOLD CD)

John Coltrane "Blue Train" MFSL (GOLD CD)

Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" (Longbox Gold CD)

Bill Evans "Sunday Night at Village Vanguard" (XRCD)

Bill Evans "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" (XRCD)

All for $80

Pretty good score me thinks.

Scott Wenzel reassured me fairly recently that the Ellington Mosaic will be out next year.

Glad to know I'm sitting on a goldmine - apart from the music!

Glad to hear it--my most recent contact with them had left me wondering. Listened to the Ivie Hep V. 1 last night, and it's great...now, if I can only track down V. 2.

V.2. (All God's Chillum...) is available as a download from Rhapsody. For some reason v.1 is listed as a single and hence costs 99 cents.

I saw the download version, but I'm a finicky 20th-century physical-artifact kind of guy...plus I generally like the Hep liner notes.

found some goodies in the used CD store yesterday...

James Newton - African Flower (Blue Note)

Ray Bryant - All Mine... And Yours (EmArcy Japan)

Kenny Burrell - Soulero (GRP)

and also the OST of "Round Midnight" (not sure how rare it is, only had the Dexter Blue Note disc so far)

Thanks. I had to pass on a whole bundle of Sonny Stitts, Don Pattersons and Montreux 1975 reissues. There might have been some Ray Bryants too - wish I'd gone for them now.

Stitt and Patterson sure did well on the reissue front from Prestige in their last few years of reissues. 'Market saturation' - in a good way !

Thanks for the heads up Sidewinder on Fopp's fabulous £3 offers! Just come home with these two:

Nice one, Bill !

Fun topic - a few things I picked up for a buck each at our town library yard sale last week:

McCoy Tyner - Reflections

Dr. John - Television

Putamayo's Cuban Lounge

Dan Hicks - Beatin' the Heat

You never know what you'll find at yard sales - 99% of it is Madonna and Kiss - but every once in a while...

I remember the good ol' days spending hours at Le Marche du Disc in Montreal where they had a ton of vintage r&b and blues for under $5 Canadian - things like Wynonie Harris, Little Willie John, Ruth Brown, Lee Andrews, etc.

Strangely, the best deals on vintage collections I've found have been overseas. In a little shopping mall in Portugal I found 'Cuban Legends' (2 cds), and a Big Joe Turner 4 cd collection, 4 euros each.

Warne Marsh Quartet - Ne Plus Ultra (hatology).

A little over $2.00 seemed a pretty good price for this rather wonderful CD.

[John L]

Andrew Hill But Not Farewell for $2.50

Great score! For some reason, that Andrew Hill CD is very hard to find. It is a good album as well.

Thanks. Still can't believe I found this one for cheap. I think I shouted out holy sh#t! in the store if I recall
