BeBop Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 The Mal Waldron does look good. It's $22 at J&R. Thanks. FWIW, J&R currently has free shipping on $25+ and a bunch of RVGs @ $5.99. I broke down and ordered the Waldron set fron J&R. The order got cancelled without any explanation. Too good to be true, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third one wound up getting cancelled - initial e-mail was a little weird, but after further investigation it appears to be a simple case of "out of stock". I do notice, however, that the "new price" for "forward delivery" (4/30 or later) is some $6 higher than the price of my cancelled order... Edited April 19, 2012 by T.D.

I phoned the 800 # in my e-mail message (different from above) and was able to renew the order at the original price. FWIW, the dude on the phone was very helpful and competent.

Looks like a new addition to the same series that has straight ports of the pre-Concord Fantasy albums in budget boxed sets. Previous ones included Tatum on Pablo, Evans on Riverside, Coltrane on Prestige... The track listing for the "new" Konitz is here. Also, a search of Amazon.it brings up similar releases for Chet Baker and Eric Dolphy, also very cheap. Again, Universal has track listings for the Baker here and the Dolphy here.

JSngry Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 The track listing for the "new" Konitz is here. I was completely unaware of those two duet albums w/Alan Broadbent on Milestone. completely slipped under my radar...this looks like a good set to get, then, good value and "from the source". The only Konitz Milestone album I'm not too into is Peace Meal. The others range from damn good to great, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've got the two Konitz/Broadbents. Then again, I'm a fiend for sax duos. (Also have Broadbent's Concord live session with Gary Foster. Nice.) The Konitz/Broadbents are nice because Konitz plays well and Broadbent avoids straight comp-ing, so it's more interplay-ful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah, that's why I shop jazz there-- almost always works in your favor save odd exceptions like this. They once sold a Hardee/Quebec LP Mosaic for $20, the Don Pullen Select for $30 ... That $99 Manone/Prima is also a steal. They also never know to price OOP mass market jazz CDs higher than usual so it can be a great place for stuff like that, too. I got the Complete Armstrong RCA set for $12 there. There is a Johnny Smith Mosaic DISCS ONLY at reckless.com for $40. Also some complete sets at good prices. Search 'mosaic' Their price for a USED Bird Benedetti set is preposterous at $275.

I was too lazy to call (and out of the country), so I wasn't worried about the five bucks. But they adjusted the price and I got the original order price without lifting a finger. I'm not much of a shopper, but I'll be dropping by when I'm in New York next week. Support the good 'uns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JETman Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 They really are one of the good 'uns, but they used to be gooder up to a few years ago. Sign of the times I guess. In any case, have fun while you're there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romualdo Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 That Atlantic set looks really nice. Is the audio quality okay with the earlier tracks? I bought the vinyl when these sets came out in the mid/late 80's (7 double LP's) - fantastic music but the sound wasn't the greatest but hopefully there may have been an improvement on the CDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 That Atlantic set looks really nice. Is the audio quality okay with the earlier tracks? I mostly listen to my music on my iPod or computer speakers, so perhaps I'm not the best person to answer that question. I sampled some and they sounded fine.

crisp Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Dave Brubeck Quartet Columbia Studio Albums Collection 1955-1966 is £90.25 at Amazon UK. That's only about £9 less than Popmarket, but if you're in the UK you will avoid the shipping and customs costs you'd otherwise pay. Works out as £4.75 a CD.
