Strange - I got that one in December for $8 shipping included (great album!), but then it was gone at that price and showed only the outrageously priced ones. Then the $8 was back a month ago, and now it's gone again. Maybe $111 is a typo?

Easy Does It is excellent. Highly recommended if you dig Bobby Timmons.

Not a typo, likely an algorithm failure. Notice that the other seller in the marketplace is offering the same title for 112.94. Subtract 1% from that price and you end up with...exactly the price Newbury is asking. So it looks like for a lot of titles they set their system to take 1% off the lowest seller's price, no matter what it is.

Picked up a few discs that I wanted to share here. All latin discs, all excellent music!

The Festival in Havana in particular is a great disc of pre Castro Cuban music.

If you like Cal Tjader and Mongo Santamaria, then the Benny Vallarde disc is recommended, as it is west coast latin jazz.

If only amazon marketplace wouldn't ask such insane amounts of $$ for shipping!

Why can't they make the costs for the second, third etc. discs that are part of the SAME order just 1.5$ more, instead of the full effing amount again? It's ridiculous to order five discs for less than 10$ but the total order sum is somewhere around 50$!
