GA Russell Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 With 15,000 albums available, I don't often look through what BMG has to offer. I just check out the new releases list every week. I would enjoy seeing what everyone else plans to receive in the next few weeks, along with a brief explanation of what you have heard about the album that makes you want it. I'm sure that I will get an idea or two from your selections. And not just jazz. For example, somebody (maybe JSngry) pointed out that Jerry Orbach's one album is now available. That would make a great birthday gift for my sister. Anyway, up next for me is Stan Getz's Captain Marvel. There was a thread about this album three weeks ago, and it made me want to move it up my queue. But when I went to the website, I found that it was already at the #1 spot! I have plenty of Stan Getz already, but I like Chick Corea's playing from this period, and since I have heard only good things about the album over the years I thought now would be a good time to pick it up. What's #1 on your queue? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 My next shipment will be the Fats Waller Centennial set. For some odd reason they listed this as a single cd. Quote
GregK Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 The Charlie Haden Montreal Tapes on Verve, newly available Quote
GloriousBlues Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Aimee Mann - Bachelor No.2. But I have a few days to change my mind, and I may go with McCoy Tyner's Illuminations. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 That Fats Centennial is GREAT. My next one is Dylan's "New Morning." Been on a kick of this period Dylan lately and dug out my lp and it's non beuno. . . Quote
MartyJazz Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 (edited) Just joined up after jazzbo clued me in that my fantastic winning bid of $61 (+ shipping) for the Miles "Seven Steps to Heaven" box set resulted from the fact that the seller probably purchased it himself from yourmusic.com for $41 in change and no shipping. In any event, my first CD will be Andrew Hill's DANCE WITH DEATH. (What am I bid for the Blue Note LT series original LP?) Edited March 5, 2005 by MartyJazz Quote
Tjazz Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 My next shipment will be the Fats Waller Centennial set. For some odd reason they listed this as a single cd. You must have selected this Centennial Collection before yourmusic revised their website and priced the Centennial Collections @ $9.98. I placed a few 2-CD or CD/DVD combos that were priced at $4.99 into the queue and luckily, I'll be charged for a single, instead of double price. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Posted March 10, 2005 My Captain Marvel has been shipped, so I have a new number one on my queue: Jackie McLean - Jackie's Bag I'm not the biggest fan of Jackie McLean. I bought A Long Drink of the Blues because it got good reviews, and it left me underwhelmed. I've picked Jackie's Bag because Tina Brooks is on it. I had never heard of Brooks before Mosaic issued its set of him, and I've only heard a cut or two from one of his albums (I think Back of the Tracks, maybe). I have read that Brooks has a featured place on this album, so I thought it would be good to give it a shot. Quote
Chalupa Posted March 11, 2005 Report Posted March 11, 2005 The Carl Stalling Project- Music From the Warner Bros. Cartoons Quote

GA Russell Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Posted March 14, 2005 Chalupa, I hope you'll let us know what you think of the Carl Stalling album. Quote
MartyJazz Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 Charlie Rouse: Bossa Nova Bacchanal Jacqueline Du Pre: Brahms Cello Sonata, Bruch Kol Nidrei Patricia Barbera: A Night in Paris Don Byron: Ivey Divey Quote
jazzbo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 Sergio Mendes, "Equinox." Wasn't going to pay full price for this one! Quote
Uncle Skid Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 Got me some FRANK comin' next!! B-) Quote
GA Russell Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Posted March 15, 2005 (edited) Jazzbo, Equinox was for many years a desert island disc of mine! I've owned three LPs and a CD of it. I'm pretty much out of my lounge phase (which lasted decades, apparently!), so I'm not as high on it as I used to be. But for what it tries to be, I think it's one of the best! Edited March 15, 2005 by GA Russell Quote
jazzbo Posted March 15, 2005 Report Posted March 15, 2005 I'm sure it's great, I'm excited to hear it, I just didn't want to pay a lot for a short cd so I'm glad yourmusic.com has it. The real treat for me on yourmusic.com is the MULTIPLE cd sets for 4.99 a disc. I've spent way too much on some of that action! Quote

If "Appointment in Ghana" from JACKIE'S BAG doesn't make you a bigger fan of Jackie, then you never will be. Regardless, this is a much better album than A LONG DRINK..... Quote
wolff Posted March 17, 2005 Report Posted March 17, 2005 Jack Wilson: Easterly Winds on the way. Lee Morgan: The Sixth Sense on deck. Quote
GA Russell Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Posted April 11, 2005 My Jackie's Bag arrived today, so the new number one on my hit parade queue is The Beach Boys - Friends and 20/20 Each year in mid-May I break out my surfing and surf guitar records and get psyched for the summer. I think I'm getting a little too old to do this, as I just don't enjoy the music of my youth as much as I used to. Still, at YourMusic's prices, I thought it would be worthwhile to pick up a couple of Beach Boys albums I haven't heard before. This is a two LPs on one CD deal, and includes one of their last hits, Do It Again. Quote
.:.impossible Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 Man, I just got Home Cookin' in the mail today. It just doesn't get much better than this right now. Anyone else watch the ring ceremony at Fenway today? To come home and find this in the mail just caps off a great day! Wasn't there a "similar to Midnight Blue" thread? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 I received notice Peggy Lee's Black Coffee was shipped on Friday. Quote
Ron S Posted April 11, 2005 Report Posted April 11, 2005 I received notice Peggy Lee's Black Coffee was shipped on Friday. That's in my queue--unless you got the last one. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I bought that one the minute I read, on this board, that yourmusic had it! What a great reissue (for five bucks!) I also have a twofer European copy that has Seashells on it. . . but I wanted to have this remastered version; both sound really good but it is nice to have as a single. I love the original session; the second session is very good but the first session KILLS. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 My monthly choice, the Mendes, has shipped! Quote
