My psychiatrist is achieving the second volume of his book about my obesssion of jazzcollecting. He doesn't want me to quit with my nasty habits, because he still needs me. Your opinion about what kind of jazz music and what record will be collectible in 15 years is useful to him, in order to anticipate the future episodes of my troubles.

well, I saw my first LP on Ebay for $40 so I emailed the seller to tell him it was overpriced - he lowered the Buy It Now and responded to me by telling me so; I don't think he ever realized that I was the guy on the cover -

The entire 101 Strings series on Somerset and anything on Topps. Don't forget the Ames Brothers and the Chordettes. Original mono pressings of the Baja Marimba Band will be hot too. Did I mention Bobby Vinton? More will come later.

Chuck, I won't say anything about Baja, I'll let TTK tell you what he thinks! :D

I'm just trying to boost the value of his collection. :rolleyes:

Monsieur de Norpois a un avis sur tout !

You are very kind as always <_<

CDs, especially "early" pressings, are already being treated as collectibles.

As are MFSL discs, aluminum, gold, whatever. So I suspect all such audiophile issues (DGC Classics) will only appreciate in value.

There are some nice original sessions on the Jazztone label--like, for example, there's a very nice Mary Lou Williams session that has never been reissued, as far as I can tell. Definitely a collectible label, at least as to Jazztone original sessions.

Thanks to all, in fact my question was more regarding PRESENT jazz music or musicians being attractive and ARTISTICALLY valued in 15 years, not on a market point of view, just artistic...

I brought all of my Baja albums back to the thrift store years ago. They just don't have that X factor that the TJB albums have.

That said, Julius Wechter wrote some great tunes, including "Fresh Air" as covered by Cal Tjader on one of his groovy decadent records; and "Oro, God of Vengeance," recorded by one of Martin Denny's ghost lineups.

As for 101 strings, there are a few great records including one with Nelson Riddle, "Que Mango" with the Great Les Baxter, and, of course, "Astro Sounds from the Year 2000," which is ALREADY going for big bucks. The latter album was an instrumental psychedelic master that they bought, overdubbed strings, and ran the whole thing through a phase shifter. There is also the 101 Strings erotic album, featuring sitar and female orgasm sounds. This is also hard to find and commands big bucks. A few of the tracks show up as bonus tracks on the "Astro Sounds" CD.

In fairness to Chuck, most if not all of these 101 Strings albums were on the Alshire label, not Somerset. ;)
