Jimmy Heath - The Quota

A companion to his "Triple Threat" release.

I assume you have "Triple Threat," yes?

[medjuck]

Just got their printed catalogue in the mail. So did my wife! What list were they using? Is there one of women who's husbands buy

too many cds?

Anyway: I'm thinking of buying the 2 Shelly Mannes at the Blackhawk i don't have and then might as well get $50 worth. Soooo..

I like what the catalogue says about the Monk at the 5 Spot twofer. Any one recommend it? Or anything else? Especially the OOPs.

Jimmy Heath - The Quota

A companion to his "Triple Threat" release.

I assume you have "Triple Threat," yes?

"Triple Threat" was my introduction to Jimmy Heath. (along with "The Thumper") That lineup with the french horn really worked for me so when I learned that he used the same lineup on "The Quota", I wanted it immediately. For a long time, I could barely find it being sold anywhere and if I did, the price was way too high. As of this writing, it's being sold on Amazon for $38.95! That's too steep for me so this copy through Concord was a nice deal.

One of my favorites! I'm sure you'll like it, Tom!

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Ordered a bunch of stuff last night

Nat Adderley - Much brass

Nat Adderley - Little big horn

Junior Mance - Happy time

Jim Robinson - Plays spirituals and blues

Little Brother Montgomery - Chicago, the living legends

Elmer Snowden - Harlem banjo (and a big thanks to ChrisA for his advice on those!)

Johnny "Hammond" Smith - Gears

Red Garland - Red's good groove (how could I have missed an album with a title like that?)

Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Afro-Jaws

$27 postage costs isn't bad for 11 CDs - it's even slightly less than I'd pay per CD for UK postage from Amazon.co.uk.

Now I have to see if Customs pick it up. Not optimistic

No, they're dreadful nowadays. I tried to get the order dealt with by FedEx, but no matter how many times I tried, it always reverted to USPS.

Here are four among a couple of batches that I had already purchased some time back on Ebay that I finally got a chance to listen to. I was really pleased with and would recommend each one of them. All of them still appear to be available via the Concord site as of now if you're still looking for something to toss into your cart.

I made an order with them recently and it got shipped by FedEx, turned up about two days later and still no sign of any customs charge so there is at least some hope

How come you got yours shipped by FedEx but it wouldn't accept it - twice - for my order?

"South side soul" is such a beautiful album. Wright has such a lovely touch. I wish there were more than three of his Prestige albums out on CD.

I'd agree with you on that one MG, it's a gem. I was hooked on it from the opening number.

I've got 'South Side Soul' and 'Makin' Out'. Both great! but i like Makin' Out much much more, as it includes a tenor and is just a burner!

Wish I had "Makin' out"!

"Mr soul" OJC and "Nice & tasty" recent cheap reissue by JVC (same release you bought a number of other things from Hiroshi) are both lovely trio albums.

[ejp626]

Made a slightly larger purchase than I intended:

Dizzy Reece - Asia Minor

Jimmy Heath - On The Trail

Johnny Griffin Sextet

Barry Harris - Luminescence!

Barry Harris - Bull's Eye!

Jimmy Heath - The Quota

Gigi Gryce - Saying Somethin'

A couple of these I already had as eMusic downloads (Luminescence and Asia Minor).

Curiously, Saying Somethin' is the only one (of these) that is not available at eMusic.

James Clay's Wide Open Spaces is not available at eMusic either, so I made a point of picking that up last week (and Double Dose of Soul a while back).

I was able to pick up some of the rarer Lem Winchester's at a used CD store (before they repriced on the OOP status), and I agree they are very nice.

While I would love to have gotten all the remaining Barry Harris and Jimmy Heath CDs, I tended to go for those with larger ensembles (at least one horn in the mix). I'll probably settle for downloads of the rest. I did try to focus on the rarer ones they have uncovered.

Actually, it was Winchester Special and Another Opus (both still available at Concord -- but hop on it if you want them!) But due to the magic of the internet, I just found Lem's Beat (not available) for a reasonable price from a charity shop, so I'm pretty much set.

Ah yes, i'll have to get Nice n tasty. could never really find Mr.Soul at the right price at the right time, so i stopped looking. Might as well start looking again.

Nice twofer from Fantasy, just receive it from Concord for a bit less than the offer HERE.

Well at least he only wants $2.98 for shipping. Insurance would be a killer though.

I'll be the voice of dissension here. This album did absolutely nothing for me. Not even the presence of Elvin Jones on session #2 could bring this to life for me. Kenny Dorham sounds bored outta his skull on the first session.

Just my two cents.
