In the US, themusicresource.com is pretty reliable. I picked up one recently from there with no problem.

Has anyone picked up any from the latest batch?

I picked up Wycliffe Gordon's "Dig It" and Ralph Petersen's "Tests of Time". The Wycliffe album is quite good. He's one of the most exciting tromboists out there IMO and this album is no exception. However, his last one was "United Soul Experience", and that's a tough one to follow. While not as good, "Dig It" is still quite a solid effort. "Tests of Time" didn't quite make a great initial impression, but after a few listens, I have come to the conclusion that its Ralph's best album on Criss Cross. It stays in the spirit of "Art of War" and "Subliminal Seduction", but this one feels more mature, like the band is finally finding the sound that they've been heading towards. Ralph's quintet is one of the most exciting in jazz right now.

I haven't gotten Adam Roger's "Allegory", but I heard it being played at a record store near my house, and I think that one might be the best of the bunch. I can't wait to get it.

so far i have 13 criss cross releases.

among them, i would recommend Anthony Wonsey "Open The Gates", Kirk Lightsey "Isotope", Walter Blanding "Olive Tree", and Orrin Evans "Justin Time" & "Listen To The Band".
