Kevin Bresnahan Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I'm eyeing a couple - can anyone recommend the Green, McBride, Redman/Taylor/Jones, Crawford/McGriff, Lovano, Coltrane and Hargrove titles? Or steer me away from them if they not worth $1.99? Lovano's "Celebrating Sinatra" wouldn't stay in my CD rack even at $4.78 ($1.99 + $2.79 s&h). Yuck. Shim's "Turbulant Flow" on the other hand is well worth that. Later, Kevin Quote
Parkertown Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 (edited) I've always been curious about that Mark Isham-Silent Way Project. Can anyone offer recommendations on it, pro or con? Thanks. Edited April 9, 2003 by Parkertown Quote
BFrank Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 I had the Isham tribute once. I liked it at first, but repeated listenings didn't hold up for me. It might be worth picking up at this price, though. The one that I would recommend from this list is Tom Harrell - "Time's Mirror". An excellent big band session that is very contemporary sounding. I grabbed it from here several months ago - WELL worth the $$. Quote
Aggie87 Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 Thanks for the steer-clear on Lovano. I'll steer clear. I already have both the Shim and the Isham, and like both. Wish I had picked them up for $1.99... The Shim album is similar in spirit to the last few Osby/Moran albums, and includes Stefon Harris on a few cuts. I don't think Shim is even with BN anymore. Not sure why - too many young lions at BN right now? And thanks for the Harrell rec, I may end up picking up both of his. The Isham album is very interesting - it's live, though I didn't notice that upon first listen. I haven't listened to it enough to decide if it holds up to repeat listening yet, but I definitely think it's worth that price. Others I can recommend include Re-Animation Live, Go (of course), Songbook (great album for this price!), the Konitz/Meldau/Haden album, and Global Warming. Antiguo is kind of an odd album for Rubalcaba. I've got the TOCJ (picked up cheap at a record show), but it's got alot of electronic keyboards, and not quite as rooted in Latin/Cuban as some of his other albums. Quote
Aggie87 Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 "One Day" Sale: 60% Off with no Shipping/Handling Promotion Code: R3P2 ...not much new at BMG lately Quote
Joe G Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 I wish I would have waited until today to order that Armstrong CD. I'm waiting for the newest Scofield and Shorter to show up at BMG. It could be a while. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted June 9, 2003 Report Posted June 9, 2003 "One Day" Sale: 60% Off with no Shipping/Handling Promotion Code: R3P2 ...not much new at BMG lately Here's another one for 60% off with no shipping that lasts for the week of June 9-16. Code: F3PZ Too bad I already blew my budget Quote

This one's a good deal if you're stocking up on a number of items - they get pretty cheap if you order around 10 Quote
Jazzdog Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Good call. I've just ordered exactly 11 Radiohead, OK Computer (1 CD(s)) D120057 Bobby Timmons, The Prestige Trio Sessions (1 CD(s)) D146699 Sonny Rollins, Saxophone Colossus (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D132357 Miles Davis, Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D132356 Miles Davis, Volume 1 (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D145179 Miles Davis, Volume 2 (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D145180 Thelonious Monk, Genius Of Modern Music, Vol. 2 (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D145186 Thelonious Monk, Brilliant Corners (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D142801 Thelonious Monk, Monk's Music (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D142802 The Clash, Super Black Market Clash (Remastered) (1 CD(s)) D133090 The Clash, Sandinista!

Aggie87 Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Not too bad choices there. I ordered the following: Dave Douglas - Infinite, Freak In, A Thousand Evenings Stefon Harris - Grand Unification Theory Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Domino Joe Lovano -52nd St. Themes Thelonious Monk - Monk's Dream Wes Montgomery/Milt Jackson - Bags Meets Wes Horace Silver - The Jody Grind Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds of Fire Bjork - Greatest Hits (don't know any of her stuff, but if both Osby & Moran can cover her, there must be something worth exploring) Average price of this purchase was $6.23, If I had ordered a few more, it would've gone down below $6 per disc, including shipping & handling! Quote
J Larsen Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 21 cds for $116 is a pretty good deal. Thanks for the heads up. Quote
slsmcgrew Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Classical?!?! Do people actually listen to that shit? That's a good idea... although the wife idea is better. That way she won't kill me for spending money we really don't have! :rsly: Classical music, I love it. Wagnor played when angry is great. Crank up the sound and run with it. And Bach is good to sooth the wild beast. But then I listen to just about everything. Quote
RDK Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 In case nobody's mentioned it, check out the 8 disc Mercury Blues box. $16 + shipping! D207312 VARIOUS ARTISTS - MERCURY BLUES Quote
Jazzdog Posted June 24, 2003 Report Posted June 24, 2003 Looks like they have also just added the Essential Dave Brubeck. If only I hadn't blown my wad before I found out it was added. Yes, very excellent selection of titles there at BMG! Quote
J Larsen Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 Since I know you're all dying to know what I picked up in this sale, here's my list. I actually own about half of these on vinyl or as pre-remaster cds. At about $5.50 a pop, I figured it was a good time for some upgrades. Mose Allison Mose Chronicles v. 1 and 2 Louis Armstrong Satch Plays Fats Black Eyed Peas Behind the Front Black Sabbath Vol 4 Clash London Calling Dave Douglas A Thousand Evenings Bob Dylan Empire Burlesque Duke Ellington Money Jungle Remaster Bill Evans/Jim Hall Undercurrent remaster Stan Getz And the Cool Sounds Woody Herman 1963 Charlie Parker Jazz at the Philharmonic 1949 Thelonious Monk Genius 2 RVG, Genius 1 RVG Radiohead Amnesiac Scolohofo Oh! Wayne Shorter Alegria Koko Taylor S/T Muddy Waters Fathers and Sons, Woodstock Album Weather Report I Sing the Body Electric Yes Yes Album, Close to the Edge Neil Young After the Gold Rush, Everybody Knows this is Nowhere, Rust Never Sleeps Quote
Parkertown Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 Jan, If the London Calling disc has the good sound of the new "Essential Clash" 2 disc set I picked up, you are in for a rockin' good time! This set POUNDS!!! Surely they're the same Vic Anesini remasters... Enjoy. B) Quote
J Larsen Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 Thanks. I'd like to upgrade my scratchy 3 LP set of Sandinista as well, but you sort of get gyped if you order a 2CD set in these deals, as they charge you full price for the most expensive item and their 2CD sets are way overpriced. I used to have every Clash LP, 7" and 10" record. I've found that London Calling, Sandinista and the b-sides to the associated singles are all I really need these days. Quote
Tjazz Posted June 25, 2003 Report Posted June 25, 2003 If there are any David Bowie lovers - BMG has several remastered Bowie CD available. Country fans? Some Derailers CDs are listed: Here Come & Geniune Quote
White Lightning Posted June 30, 2003 Report Posted June 30, 2003 They now have: Duke Ellington - Never No Lament: The Blanton - Webster Band for 19.99$ (26.76$ inc S&H) Quote
Tjazz Posted July 12, 2003 Report Posted July 12, 2003 Joan Armatrading 2-CD anthology - LOVE & AFFECTION is available. Also Rosanne Cash's latest: RULES OF TRAVEL. A bunch, maybe all of Lenny Kravitz CDs are available. I'm getting his GREATEST HITS. Pink's UNDERSTANDING (her latest) is there too. Quote
