sidewinder Posted September 7, 2005 Report Posted September 7, 2005 (edited) Also - and this ties into another question I had - the Steve Kuhn on Contact went for $111, and it is now up on Paris Jazz corner for almost $200. I used to bid on this one occasionally, put in $40 and it would go for $41, and had since forgotten to look for it until recently. Why so expensive? ← Just noticed that one. Popsike reported a copy of this sold on ebay for $262 so this seems to be in line with Paris Jazz Corner's price. Not sure why the crazy price - RVG in the dead-wax premium? They also list the MPS 'Watch What Happens' for about 130 Euros. I picked that one up for £12 recently. Footnote - the Goldmine guide lists the Contact album at about $25 in mint !

clifford_thornton Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 (edited) I shoulda bid $50 when it wasn't so hot, I guess. Oh well... Always liked the Lucio Fontana cover on the MPS, but I'm told the music is not that great. Never got into the BYG, but the La Roca factor on "Three Waves" is attractive. Footnote: somebody bought it from PJC, for that price! Edited September 8, 2005 by clifford_thornton Quote

clifford_thornton Posted September 8, 2005 Report Posted September 8, 2005 A never-ending stream of madness, right? Kinda makes $90 for the Byard Lancaster on Palm seem 'cheap.' Quote
Alfred Posted September 18, 2005 Report Posted September 18, 2005 Please excuse my lack of knowledge. But who is Ronnell Bright? Quote
StormP Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Nobody noticed this madness: DONALD BYRD/JAZZ/TRANSITION 5 LP went for $316.20 DONALD BYRD/BYRD'S EYE VIEW/TRANSITION went for $458.00 SONNY ROLLINS DONALD BYRD LP blue note 1542 went for $411.00 Man O' Man Quote
brownie Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Please excuse my lack of knowledge. But who is Ronnell Bright? ← Alfred, Ronnell Bright was an excellent pianist who recorded several albums in the '50s for Regent/Savoy and Vanguard. The French Polydor session was produced when Bright (with Richard Davis and Art Morgan) came to Paris with Sarah Vaughan. That Polydor LP has been reissued as part of the Jazz in Paris series (vol. 61, Piano aux Champs-Elysees). Much cheaper than the original vinyl! Quote

Byrd's Eye View is especially great, but hey, there is a Japanese version... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 19, 2005 Report Posted September 19, 2005 Please excuse my lack of knowledge. But who is Ronnell Bright? ← That's a feeling-hurter, for sure. Never seen a Polydor pressing that early. Quote
sidewinder Posted September 20, 2005 Report Posted September 20, 2005 I believe that Fresh Sound have also done a vinyl reissue of this Ronnell Bright LP. Paris Jazz Corner auctioned off an original a couple of years ago - not sure what it sold for. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Blowing In From Chicago All I gotta say is That does not seem normal for that LP. Quote
slide_advantage_redoux Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Posted September 23, 2005 Here is an album that seems to be rather desirable. Cecil Taylor http://tinyurl.com/83psm Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 I think I've heard of it, but never seen it. Guess it's hot, even for late-period CT. Quote
Alfred Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 CANDIDO - Beautiful (sealed) >$55 and 1 day to go! Quote
couw Posted September 24, 2005 Report Posted September 24, 2005 That Cecil was recently seeded elsewhere... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 CANDIDO - Beautiful (sealed) >$55 and 1 day to go! ← ...and the winner is: $127.50! Ouch! Quote
sidewinder Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 CANDIDO - Beautiful (sealed) >$55 and 1 day to go! ← ...and the winner is: $127.50! Ouch! ← Is that the original? (one would - at the very least - hope so ) Just spotted the Rare Groove for £5 but I was put off by some of the track titles (a tad 'commercial') Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 I'll bet, though likely a blue-black label pressing. Kinda expensive, but I guess it's 'funky' so all bets are off. Quote
brownie Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 A choice (and autographed) item... Jazz Messengers at Bohemia Quote
porcy62 Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 A choice (and autographed) item... Jazz Messengers at Bohemia ← Wow! Brownie have you got any autographed cover? Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 27, 2005 Report Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) Of course, having Doug Watkins's autograph is the coolest of the bunch! Edited September 27, 2005 by clifford_thornton Quote
brownie Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Wow! Brownie have you got any autographed cover? ← Never asked a musician! But I did buy a good number when a former French jazz roadie sold some of his vinyls at a record convention some years ago. Managed to grab several albums that had been signed by people like Hank Jones, Joe Newman, Phineas Newborn, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie among others. One of the vinyl - a bootleg with radio tracks by Count Basie and Erskine Hawkins - was autographed by both leaders! It was a free-for-all scene and I missed albums signed by Dexter Gordon and Chet Baker... Also bought (at one of those NYK flea markets) an original mint copy of a Prestige 50th St. album by Barbara Lea with a very long an personal dedication by Ms. Lea. Asking price was one buck! That Jazz Messengers looks tempting but is out of reach nowadays! Quote
