[Chuck Nessa]

Too complicated to list everything. I placed 2 massive orders during the Concord dump and have placed countless small orders since then.

[montg]

My approach has been similiar to Chuck's. My most recent small purchase was picking up Blue Mitchell's 'Sure thing" and Clifford Jordan's 'Mosaic'. Some other small ojc purchases (looking at my purchase history over the last 6 months from amazon) include:

McPherson's Mood [Limited Edition] [Audio CD] Charles Mcpherson (a very nice session, nice to hear Buster Williams)

Long Night/March of the Siamese Children [Audio CD] Strozier, Frank

Workin' Out [Audio CD] Timmons, Bobby

Swinging Sounds [Audio CD] Shelly Manne & His Men (still ambivalent about this one)

The Freelance Years: The Complete Riverside and Contemporary Recordings: Sonny Rollins (pretty good deal,30 bucks, considering I didn't hav WOW, Freedom Suite, and one or two sessions on this set)

Music to Listen to Don Ewell By [Audio CD] Ewell, Don (good music, good sound too)

Far Cry (20 Bit Mastering) Eric Dolphy (I love Dolphy more and more every time I hear him)

Guitar Groove [Audio CD] Thomas, Rene (outstanding!)

I'm on the same page with Chuck. Last order was a lot of George Lewis.

Do any of those George Lewis dates stand out Lon? Hard for me to judge which, if any , is essential. I enjoy the Atlantic and Blue Note George Lewis sessions, I've been meaning to pick up one of the OJCs. Now's the time I guess.

[jazzbo]

Well, I like them all fine. . . they're each a little different. I guess I like "Jazz in the New Orleans Tradition" and the Beverly Caverns discs the most.

Thanks. I see both of the Caverns sessions are oop. yikes, it's impossible to keep up

No kidding. I could give you a link to my amazon "recently purchased" page ...

Regardless of motive, I have discovered some real gems along the way

[mikeweil]

I knew you'd all be too lazy to list them all ..... I, too, was afraid of looking at the sheer number of them, but wanted to be honest to myself, at least.

So, how many, do you estimate?

[mikeweil]

p.s. I was real mad that Concord would not ship to Europe during their sellout - it probably was (and still is) against their distribution contract with Universal in Europe. I depended on what Zweitausend offered or threw in their sellout bins or what amazon sellers offered at reasonable prices.

Got about 10 discs from Newbury Comics ebay auctions during the last two weeks - still real cheap, although shipping is not.

Crazy! But still, so many more to get!

And several I've given up hope on finding (Lucky's "Happy Days", Woody Shaw's "Song of Songs", Don Patterson's "New York Dues", for instance), and many that are probably tough to find (stuff such as Lennie Niehaus' series on Contemporary).

and also the RVGs of Wes Montgomery's "Full House" and the Cannonball Quintet - though these (as the Garland Prelude) are likely not going OOP too soon... but I got them cheap (and the Garland I got since I just wanted some by him, got it with Groovy).

As Lon writes, the Beverley Caverns sessions are quite good. From the historical point of view, "George Lewis of New Orleans (Eclipse Alley Five and Original Zenith Brass Band)" is of interest. It was one of the most "noble" attempts at the time to do an authentic recreation of the New Orleans sound around the turn of the century.

[Eric]

I knew you'd all be too lazy to list them all ..... I, too, was afraid of looking at the sheer number of them, but wanted to be honest to myself, at least.

So, how many, do you estimate?

50 - 60, about 2/3 of which came from the sale last summer.

[Face of the Bass]

I've been systematically going through trying to pick up every Paul Chambers session I don't already have. I have all the Chambers Riversides now, and most of the Prestiges, but there are still a few I need to get.

[Niko]

Since the Zweitausendeins Sale (where I got almost 200 i think) i got relatively little (but nice ones)... will not get started again before i come back from my holidays i decided

Mal Waldron - Mal - 1

Legends of Acid Jazz - Melvin Sparks

Legends of Acid Jazz - Don Patterson / Booker Ervin

Sonny Criss - Sonny's Dream

Walt Dickerson - To My Queen

Eric Dolphy - At the Five Spot vol. 1

Rusty Bryant - Returns

Yusef Lateef - Other Sounds

[king ubu]

Also all the missing Lateefs, the four Randy Westons, the Patterson/Ervin Legends of Acid Jazz, too...

[Clunky]

My panic buying has come gone in waves, I bought loads when Chuckk first flagged this up three years ago. The very real recent disappearance has had me filing orders regularly form amazon market place sellers as well mainly UK vinyl titles of various ages ( Esquires, Vogues, Transtlantics, OJC etc). Recently added around 20 in the last 3 months. The closure of Fopp in UK has been quite a blow as I tended to pick up ZXY OJC when went there. They were always £3 to £5 , whilst their finish isn't quite as good they're not bad.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Of course, it depends on when you think the panic started. I guess with me it would have been about March 2004, when I saw a note of the sale on the Fantasy site. But probably, I didn't think about it seriously until 2005. And I've always bought Fantasy records in large quantities; Fantasy had been the biggest company in my collection since the 1970s. So that's why I haven't needed to go quite so nutty as some. This is (date order) what I've bought since then; it comes to 75 albums on 61 CDs (I've excluded a couple that have been issued by Lonehill etc, but have included some issued by Japanese Victor and UK Ace).

JFK Quintet - I'd put off buying that for about 40 years, didn't think I should wait much longer...

[riverrat]

Recent purchases, in addition to my $100 order during their sale last year:

Clifford Jordan Mosaic

Elmo Hope Trio

Ted Curson Fire Down Below

Joe Gordon Lookin Good

Hal Singer Blue Stompin (Thanks to Chuck for suggesting this one.)

Woody Shaw Song of Songs

[paul secor]

Probably have bought about 100 since the first "disappearing OJCs" thread. Too many to list, but here are a dozen or so favorites:

Gene Ammons: Live! in Chicago

Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate: Buck & Buddy

Johnny Griffin: The Kerry Dancers

Zoot Sims: Quartets

Shorty Baker & Doc Cheatham: Shorty & Doc

Louis Cottrell Trio: Bourbon Street

Dynamic Sound Patterns of the Rod Levitt Orchestra

Al Haig: Trio and Sextets

Elmer Snowden: Harlem Banjo!

Jimmy Knepper Quintet/Mingus Octet: Debut Rarities Vol. 1

Scrapper Blackwell: Mr. Scrapper's Blues

Prestige Blues Swingers: Outskirts of Town

Thanks to a number of members for recommending some of these and other OJCs in various threads. My listening experiences have been fuller and livelier because of your recommendations.

[mikeweil]

I've still got a bloody long list!

MG

I'm glad I had paid OJCs more attention than most members - I already had all the Don Patterson, Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria, Blue Mitchell, Kenny Burrell, Herbie Mann, Sonny Rollins (Riverside and Contemporary) and many other single and twofer CDs, Yusef Lateef, Abbey Lincoln, Ernie Henry on LP, as well as the Monk (both), Modern Jazz Quartet, Wes Montgomery, Joe Henderson, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Bill Evans Riverside, Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins Prestige box sets - that helped quite a bit.
