TheMusicalMarine Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Just curious. I know for many of us the 'to buy' list is far beyond what we can spare financially. My apologies if this belongs in another forum. I'd probably buy a number of OJCs and the Jazz Oracles that I'm missing. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 If I had an unexpected $1000 to spend, I think I'd go nuts and try to blow it all on one artist that is severely underrepresented on my shelves. Right now, I'd say it would be Sun Ra. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 If I had to spend it on CD's, you know The Bastards™ would probably get a big ol' healthy chunk of it, maybe upwards of $400, or $500 even. (Maybe not all in the same order -- but over a couple months time, sure!!) Quote
Big Wheel Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Yeah, if I had $1000 right now to spend, at a time when the Fantasy catalog appears in limbo, I'd probably pick up: Jimmy Woods--Conflict Jaki Byard--Experience, Hi-Fly, Here's Jaki, Freedom Together Hal Singer--Blue Stompin Roy Haynes--We Three Harold Land--The Fox Walt Dickerson--To My Queen At least one of the Randy Weston Prestige records Sonny Criss--Sonny'd Dream At least one Curtis Counce Contemporary record At least one Booker Ervin record with Jaki Byard Bobby Timmons--Trio in Person At least one Shelly Manne Blackhawk record Tommy Flanagan--Overseas One of the early Cal Tjader records Gigi Gryce--Rat Race Blues Kenny Drew Trio Machito--Mucho Macho One of the Memphis Slim albums Two Elmo Hope albums Roland Kirk--Kirk's Work At least one Phineas Newborn record Frank Rosolino--Free For All Rene Thomas--Guitar Groove After all that I'd probably have about $600 left. Much of it would go toward much more recent stuff. Quote
Free For All Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Why, I'd buy 76.982294 copies of Boogaloo Sisters! Whatever else could one possibly want? .........................................................................Jim, can I borrow 20 bucks? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Don't tell me you ain't got a copy yet?! And yes, you can borrow $20. Quote
Free For All Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 ...of course I have one already!! ..................................................................couldja make it $50? Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 To answer the question, I'd buy 28.57 copies of Danilo Perez's Live at the Jazz Showcase Cd for $35 a pop! Quote
sidewinder Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 The whole 'Free America' series and a copy of every in-print Mosaic set (except the Frosch) ! Quote
Free For All Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 ...or you could buy 5 Evans Verve boxes and keep the least rusty one. Quote
jazzbo Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 Now let's see, what DID I spend that last grand on. . . . Quote

bertrand Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 For $1,000, you would barely make a dent in the Braxton discography!!! 3 words: Mosaic, Mosaic, Mosaic. Bertrand. Quote
mikeweil Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 I'd buy all the Mosaic Selects I want (haven't got a single one of them so far!) and spend the rest on my Fantasy catalog wish list. Quote

The guy can play and that's a great album worth at least one tenth of that price. Quote

I've searched their site many times, and there's so many treats. :rsmile: ---------------- Jeff / formerly AfricaBrass Quote

John Tapscott Posted March 25, 2005 Report Posted March 25, 2005 No doubt about it. The folks in Stamford Ct. would be hearing from me. Mostly black boxes, but a few Selects, as well. Quote
