Thanks!

[JSngry]

That's a good record!

[greggery peccary]

I snagged one. Thanks for the tip.

I don't think of oldies.com as the Bargain Central it used to be, but this weekend their minimum order for free shipping is only $35.

Oldies is bad about selling CDRs without labeling them as such.

It's good; very enjoyable.  Discussed here: https://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/84730-neil-swainson-49th-parallel/

When I got Neil Swainson to sign my copy of the original CD, he said, “Oh, you’re the one who bought it!”

Excellent!

Not CDs -- but for those who are amenable to downloading music -- Qobuz is offering CD-quality and High-Res downloads of their entire MPS catalog at 30% off thru 03/18/22.  

Most albums are $4.54 for CD-quality and $5.94 for High-Res.

I prefer LPs and CDs, but at those prices I expect I'll be plopping for a few.  Especially since many items in the MPS catalog are expensive as LPs or CDs.

 

As an aside, I'd recommend all of these MPS albums without hesitation:

• Albert Mangelsdorff Quartet – Never Let It End (1970)
• Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis & Johnny Griffin – Tough Tenors Again 'n' Again (1970)
• Eddie [Eddy] Louiss – Our Kind of Sabi (1970)
• Anita O'Day – Anita O'Day in Berlin: Recorded Live at the Berlin Jazz Festival (1971)
• Attila Zoller & Masahiko Sato – A Path Through Haze (1972)
• Joachim Kühn – This Way Out (1973)
• Jimmy Raney – Momentum (1975)
• Hannibal & the Sunrise Orchestra – Hannibal (1975)
• John Handy & Ali Akbar Khan – Karuna Supreme (1976)
• Martial Solal & Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen – Movability (1976)
• Albert Mangelsdorff, Jaco Pastorius, Alphonse Mouzon – Trilogue: Live! (1977)
• Martial Solal – Suite for Trio (1978)
• Stephane Grappelli – Young Django (1979)

These are all listed as favorites on my 1970s jazzblog.  

 

I have no commercial connection with Qobuz, by the way.

They got that Moody/Cohn...

For five bucks, a "fascinating failure" like Alto Summit is not an automatic "no"?

Looks like Dusty Groove got in a bunch of Delmark CDs priced at $3.99 or less.  Chris Woods, Chicago Underground Trio, Exploding Star Orchestra, George Lewis, Roscoe Mitchell, Zoot Sims, Keefe Jackson, Kalaparush, Eric Alexander, Rob Mazurek, Flip Phillips, Junior Mance, and more - do a search for Delmark.

Is this a new batch of inventory or the same inventory they've been having?

There's definitely some bargains to be had. Carpe diem!!!

[jazzbo]

Seems to be a number of newly added titles since last I looked.

[JSngry]

Yeah, I found a few things that either weren't there or have seen a restock since the last time. I picked up 4-5 things, all under $5.

[HutchFan]

Speaking of Dusty Groove, they have several LimeTree label CDs on sale.  Most are $4.99.

I ordered these two:

 

and

The latter disc, Bamboo Madness, is an MP3 to CD upgrade.  Y'all remember emusic.com?!?   

 

The two Great Jazz Trio titles and the Ben Webster set are also easily recommendable.
