Dan Gould Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Well, I just won a copy of 'Lavender Sax' off of ebay for a grand total of $1.99 + shipping. Looking forward to it! If I remember correctly, this one is the more "late night" mood album. Big Hits at least had "Sack O' Woe" and a couple of other decent tunes on it ... Quote

I wasn't going to pay much it (8.99 max) but at 1.99 i figured i couldn't pass it up. Quote

NaturalSoul Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 10.50, actually. And based on the comments here i figured it wasn't worth that much. Quote
motown_jazz Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Out Front and Lavender Sax come to mind. Out Front has a nice mix of Latin-tinged soul-jazz and straight ahead. Lavender Sax has more of a old school rhythm and blues feel. Both of them are well worth it. Since I've got them, I've put them on CD and they have not left my car. Quote

Dan Gould Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 "not all that special", yes. Your Mileage May Vary. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 Indeed - I have four or five "Midnight slows" and luv 'em! So I guess "Lavender sax" goes higher in the priority list. MG Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 22, 2007 Report Posted September 22, 2007 Thank you, MG. Milt Buckner is a player that i've never heard. Must check those out! (Great sleeves, too. ) Milt was a great organist - in the pre-Jimmy Smith vein, of course. Applied his "locked hands" method of playing piano to the organ. Was so short, his feet couldn't reach the bass pedals when he was sitting on the stool. Two heavily recommended examples of Milt from here are Illinois Jacquet - Go power (live trio, Jacquet, Buckner & Alan Dawson - play very loud) - Cadet, not too hard to get I imagine. Milt Buckner - Green onions - Black & Blue (with Roy Gaines - blues guitarist from Texas) MG Quote

Where's the easiest place to find Black & Blue albums? I dunno 'bout Arizona, man. Surprisingly hard to find. I tried a number of US on line stores - Amazon, Barnes & Noble, CD Universe, Dusty Groove, Jazz record mart - zilch. It's not at Amazon.uk or .fr or at Blue Moon (the firm that distributes B&B) or at my other usual French ports of call. But I've found this at FNAC http://www4.fnac.com/Shelf/article.aspx?PR...96e8d7&Fr=0 The trouble is, the image is too small to see the title - but I think it's the second reissue of "Green onions" and there's no track list. However, you can listen to the tracks - if the first one is "Green onions", that's it. But when I tried to listen, Windows gave me some spiel about not knowing what the thing was, so I gave up. If you've got some other kind of software (I alway have problems listening to samples), you might come up trumps. Otherwise, there's e-bay. Ah! The one at FNAC is the right one, but it's also on e-bay France http://cgi.ebay.fr/MILT-BUCKNER-GREEN-ONIO...VQQcmdZViewItem It's also on the UK e-bay - same disc. Auction ends 25 Sep. Price, at moment, is excellent for a deleted album. MG Dunno why the uK link didn't come out. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MILT-BUCKNER-GREEN-O...1QQcmdZViewItem Edited September 23, 2007 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 Just noticed there are two copies of "Green onions" in the e-bay auction. And the seller is in UK, so that's probably the place to deal with. If there are two copies, then I suppose you get a record even if you DON'T win? SO the strategy is to come second, and get it a bit cheaper than the winner MG Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 23, 2007 Report Posted September 23, 2007 cdconnection.com was a nice source for Black & Blue releases a while back. I used to go to a French website that had pictures of the front and back of the Black & Blue CDs they had in stock - it was a great informational source. However the last time I went they had reorganized the site and all that was gone. If you go to Advanced Search on Amazon, you come up with a huge number of hits, most of which are in fact Black & Blue releases. Quote
