Daniel A Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 I had just promised myself not to buy anymore music this month, but I happened to pass by a record store which seems to be closed most of the time. This time it was open, and there appeared to be a jazz sale going on... A lot of CDs and LPs were in the dangerous 2-3€ range; it's all too easy to spend too much! Among other things I found these: LPs Charles McPherson 'From This Moment On' (Prestige pressing, not OJC) Phineas Newborn Jr. 'Please Send Me Someone to Love' (Contemporary) Jimmy Owens 'No Escaping It' (Polydor) Earnie Wilkins and the Almost Big Band (Storyville) - This one is terrific!! John Lewis & Hank Jones 'An Evening with Two Grand Pianos' (Little Davis Records) Stanley Cowell Trio 'Close to You Alone' (DIW) Jimmy Smith 'The Cat' (Verve) CDs Adam Makovicz 'The Solo Album' (Verve) - Recorded in Stockholm and apparently released on Verve for the Swedish market Clifford Jordan / Richard Davis / James Williams / Ronnie Burrage 'Fourplay' (DIW) - Sealed! Buster Williams Quintet 'Somewhere Along the Way' (TCB) Sam Yahel 'Searchin' (Naxos) - The price was 1€! Fredrik Noren Band 'T' (Mirrors) Ron McClure Quartet 'Pink Cloud' (Naxos) Quote
vibes Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Unwanted CD's sent from the the major music distributors are left in boxes where I work. The people that work in music usually take the good stuff first, then throw everything else in boxes. It's usually junk, but today as I was sifting through the hundreds of CD's in these boxes, I stumbled upon a sealed copy of the "A Love Supreme" SACD. I bought the 2-disc release of this album a couple weeks ago, and thus hadn't planned on buying the SACD. I'm listening to it now, and it sounds great - especially the bass and cymbals. Quote
Matthew Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 After years of looking, I finally found of copy of Bobby Hutcherson: Live at Montreux at my local used cd store for $6.50. Nice cd, even Woody Shaw is good on it (he is not one of my favs by any means). To think, I had given up on ever finding this at a decent price. Quote
sidewinder Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Not necessarily 'greatest finds' but not bad either. Managed to get hold of Tony Williams' Blue Notes 'Angel Street' and 'Foreign Intrigue' on vinyl today. I've been looking for copies of these for a while. Quote
Claude Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 (edited) I found a mint LP of Julian Priester - Love, Love (a rare ECM collector's item, not reissued on CD) last week at a local store. It's been there for the last 20 years at least, in a box hidden behind the counter. I got it for 5 Euro. Edited May 26, 2003 by Claude Quote
sidewinder Posted May 26, 2003 Report Posted May 26, 2003 Claude - I remember the thrill I had finding that one in a Toronto vinyl store about 12 years ago. The week earlier I had also found the vinyl of 'Polarization'. Both German pressings and excellent condition, $5-$6 each Quote
brownie Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 Found an LP I had never even heard about: Rufus Jones 'Five on Eight', a 1964 Cameo release in very good condition (and rather reasonably priced). The band includes Tommy Turrentine (wish they were more records of his trumpet-playing, he appears on the B side only), Jaki Byard and one of my favorite unheralded tenor saxophonist Seldon Powell who is heavily featured. Beautiful record that seems not to have ever been reissued. Quote
