king ubu Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 Yeah, the Tea! Marvellous one! Definitely look for it! The Ray Brown is fine, too (by far better than the one in the LPR series or anything on the 2CD set w/Milt Jackson & Cannonball) The Washington was, with the Schifrin, the final ones I got. Learned to like the Washington a lot. The Schifrin is of course kind of cool, if only for the title and the allusion to Peter Weiss and all... but musically it's rather slight. The Peterson/De Franco I always found kind of lame, but before I got on my The Band-trip, I played a ton of Peterson and that one is up on top of the pile for once I'll feel like more Peterson... I have a hunch I might like it better by now... Quote
jazzbo Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 The only one I don't have is the Dinah Washington. I threw out the outer sleeves as well. That was a stupid idea! I also don't have the Washington either - unlikely to go for it too I guess. Once my latest 'presciouses' arrive, I'm only missing the Peterson/DeFranco, Ray Brown and the Teagarden I think. Any movers and shakers amongst that batch? I keep the boxes though ! I didn't go for the Washington when I saw it because I had all the material. I have all the Mercury box sets, so I'm a big fan just haven't gone for the single releases . . . . Get the Teagarden (you can get it on iTunes if you do downloading) Quote
Ken Dryden Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 I have all but three or so. I don't have the organ release, I sold my Art Farmer after it was reissued in a Mosaic box and I think I'm missing one other one. I saved my outer sleeves. Awhile back I found the Hank Jones online for a ridiculously cheap price new at Tower, so I snapped it up and resold it. Had I held onto it, it would have brought a lot more today. Quote

Yeah, I probably should have grabbed that $9.99 used copy of Alan Shorter's 'Orgasm' that I saw last week to flip. Too bad I had just paid $29.99 for my eBay copy two months earlier! Eh, it's just money. Edited July 15, 2009 by peterintoronto Quote

I have all the Mercury box sets, so I'm a big fan just haven't gone for the single releases . . . . That's what I thought at first too, but then I discovered that the VEE includes her 1943 debut session for Keynote (Evil Gal Blues etc), which isn't on the Mercury box sets (which I have too). So then I decided to get the Dinah Washington VEE after all. Quote

Eh, it's just money. Yup. I grabbed a copy of Orgasm on line last year for under $20. I've seen sellers asking a $100 for it once in awhile. Great album but not that great! Concerning the Defranco/Peterson, I can get that one now for $8, but after hearing samples, I was turned off by the strings. If its still there the same store also has the George Russell for $8 too. If any one is interested, pm me and I'll check to see if its still there. PS: the Russell is excellent! Quote

Must have the booklet ! Quote
BruceH Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 BTW, I don't remember ever seeing the Schifrin anywhere. They must have put out an extra small run of that one. Quote
marcoliv Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 The sticker on Schifrin one mentions that 5000 copies were made MCO Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 The sticker on Schifrin one mentions that 5000 copies were made MCO Doesn't mean they made that many. It might have been the plan but the real market intrudes. Quote

Must have the booklet ! I played the Peterson/De Franco again some days ago, and I enjoy it quite a bit better than I used to! And I also like the Ray Brown a lot, just in case I haven't said that before (I think I have though)... it's much superior to the "Jazz Cello" album (LPR Series) and to the stuff on that 3-on-2 Ray Brown/Milt Jackson(/Cannonball) set.

peterintoronto Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Found a used copy of the 'Collector's Edition' locally last week for $7. What a great disc! Quote
sidewinder Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 Found a used copy of the 'Collector's Edition' locally last week for $7. What a great disc! Nice find. And it is indeed fantastic. Where else can you find prime Satchmo, Jimmy Smith and Tal Farlow on one disk? Quote

Where else can you find prime Satchmo, Jimmy Smith and Tal Farlow on one disk? AND that great jam track where Johnny Hodges sits in with the band of Dizzy Gillespie (Have Trumpet, Will Excite session) - I was so delighted to find that one there! It was also released on Hodges' Jazz Masters compilation on Verve (or whatever that series was called), and me no likee buying such comps... Quote

AndrewHill Posted August 4, 2009 Report Posted August 4, 2009 You know it! There's a time and a place for a "hell yeah" and finding a rarity is one of those times! Quote
