Rooster_Ties Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 (edited) Link: http://www.dustygroove.com OK, I've gotta put in an order to Dusty Groove (the bastards!!) by this Friday (Feb 27th -- or by Sunday, Feb 29th at the latest) ----- in order to get a couple Charles Tolliver discs for a cousin of mine, for his birthday in mid-March. So, as long as I'm at it, I wondering what else I can't do without for myself - as long as I'm paying for shipping costs anyway. I can only afford 3 or 4 discs at most, but it's been ages since I've ordered anything from Dusty Groove - and I always feel like there's a ton of stuff on their site that I should be more aware of than I am. Most of you know how my tastes run: Andrew Hill(!), Larry Young, Charles Tolliver, Woody Shaw, Tyrone Washington, almost anything on Blue Note between 1963 and 1970, Billy Harper in the 70’s, Strata East stuff, and more recently: Greg Osby since 1995, Jason Moran, Jeremy Pelt, Dave Holland, etc... So, what might I be overlooking from Dusty Groove?? - that I should otherwise not be without!!!! Oh, one more thing: I'm interested in buying CD's ONLY for this order. Also, note to Free For All, you wanna get in anything on this order, so we can save on combined shipping costs?? Our mutual Kansas City friend Spontooneous is also goin’ in on this order too, so the more the merrier!! (And I'm also probably gonna pick up a couple Charles Tolliver discs for Gerald Dunn too, while I'm at it.) Edited February 23, 2004 by Rooster_Ties Quote
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 I'd consider this one, Barne with Jacky Terrason; it's nearly half the price it was a few months ago, it's got mellow stuff on it but adventurous too in its way. . . It's a great cd I keep coming back to. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Fiery. . . has Mobley and Philly Joe on one track. . . pretty interesting stuff. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Posted February 23, 2004 By the way, suggestions for CD's only. (Modified my original post to say this too, BTW.) Quote
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Hey, it's the best price I've seen on this one, and this is a very cool cd: Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Posted February 23, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions!!! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 You're welcome. I figured this thread would be crowded by now! I'll leave some space for others. . . I could suggest about a dozen more. Lots of good stuff at the groove! Quote
JSngry Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Just browse and add as you go. You can cull at checkout. Yeah, right... Quote
Brandon Burke Posted February 23, 2004 Report Posted February 23, 2004 Those are easily among the best Shepp dates on BYG but I'd start with Blase. "My Angel", the first track, is an all time fave. A brilliant (and totally natural) hybrid of late-60's freedom and soulful female vocals. Quote
Free For All Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I'll probably get in on this, Rooster- I'm curious to see what the board members recommend. I'll be talkin' to ya soon! Quote
JSngry Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 You can't just make "a few" recommendations for a buy at Dusty Groove. You really do need to browse the site, and in all categories. If I ever decide to plunge headfirst into Brazilian music, they'll end up with ALL my money (the BASTARDS!), as they will when I inevitably take the plunge into the whole "neo-soul" trip. But as it is now, I'll stick to looking at the jazz LPs and "Sale CDs" once or twice a month. That's more than enough for me. But tell you what - I've had my eye on that Ted Curson Canadian Concert thing for a while, especially since they now have it on LP for less than the CD. Why don't one of you guys buy it and let me know how it is, ok? Quote
jazzbo Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Yeah, I could spend a cool grand on about six or seven huge box sets of complete blocks of recodings of Veloso, Bethania, and others. . . .Their Brazilain section is da bomba. Quote
chris olivarez Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Rooster before you go online go to the bank first with a semi truck and fill er up . Like JSngry said you can cull at the check out line but to put it mildly that will be a difficult process. Dusty Groove has an incredible selection and its tough to stop at 3 or 4. Good Luck. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 1. Lonnie Smith -- Finger Lickin' Good (original pressing) . . . LP . . . $14.99 (Item: 3456) Columbia, Mid-60's Condition: Good View Cart A monster batch of funky tracks from organist Lonnie Smith! The album's his first ever -- and predates the Blue Note sides by a few years -- issued by Columbia around the time that Lonnie was working for the label as George Benson's organist. Lonnie brings a rawness to the album that you're not likely to hear on a Columbia session from the time -- and he's joined by soul jazz heavyweights like George Benson, Blue Mitchell, Melvin Sparks, and King Curtis. Tracks are short with a hard wailing organ jazz groove -- and titles include "Hola Muneca", "Minor Chant", "Sideman", "Say Stuff", and "Keep Talkin". (Red label 60s mono pressing.) (From the Jazz LP (T-Z and Various) page.) Quote
Brandon Burke Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I was going to mention the Brazilian thing earlier but something came up. Personal faves of mine are: Jorge Ben - Samba Esquema Novo (1969) Jorge ben - A Tábua de Esmeralda (1974) Milton Nascimento - Clube da Esquina (1972) Various Artists - Tropicalia: Ou Panis Et Circenses Gilberto Gil - Gilberto Gil (1968) I'm not pretending that any of these are 'lesser-known' or anything. They're are all no-brainers. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 UNDERSTAND: Dusty, one of my favorite sources. keeps a very small inventory. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered to find the title "out of stock" the next time I logged on. Quote
BFrank Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 GOTTA get it! Gary Bartz NTU Troop -- Harlem Bush Music - Taifa/Harlem Bush Music - Uhuru . . . CD . . . $18.99 Dusty Groove - Gary Bartz Quote
Eric Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Just grabbed this one over the weekend: GORDON BECK QUARTET Experiments With Pops A perfect example of why the British jazz scene of the late 60s was so exciting -- as Gordon Beck works here with a young John McLaughlin, in an album of surprising delights! The format is, as the title states, "experiments with pops" -- late 60s soul and pop hits, given a really dynamic twist! Jazz (CD) PLUS ... I snagged a copy of Don Patterson's first lp on Cadet, "Goin' Down Home". I would guess their "fill rate" over the years has been 90%+. I stopped by their location 4-5 years ago in Chicago. I would highly recommend that anyone passing through town check them out - eclectic doesn't even begin to define their inventory I seem to remember the place is owned by some relatively well off guy who was perhaps subsidizing the operation a bit. True or not, this really is a neat spot for us jazz heads, both online and in person. Eric Quote
sheldonm Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 I shop at Dusty Groove every few weeks (at the actual store). Their jazz selection is actually quite small compared with the other music in the store. I don't know if any other store that I shop at that has a smaller jazz section, but the selection is very, very good at decent prices.. Their jazz LP selection is bigger than the cd selection. I never go to Chicago without stopping there and the Jazz Record Mart! Mark Quote
Jim R Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 If I ever decide to plunge headfirst into Brazilian music, they'll end up with ALL my money (the BASTARDS!) PLUNGE HEADFIRST?!?!?!?! ... no... stop... don't. Quote
JSngry Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Inspired by this thread, I finally sucked it up and ordered the Sharon Jones & the Dap-Tones CD last night, If this stuff is as good as I keep hearing it is... Quote
Brandon Burke Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Inspired by this thread, I finally sucked it up and ordered the Sharon Jones & the Dap-Tones CD last night, If this stuff is as good as I keep hearing it is... It's good. They have the Marva Whitney/JBs thing down pretty well. So if you like Marva then you can be assured that......."It's Your Thing". Quote
JSngry Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Oh $hit. I wa$ afraid you'd $ay that. Quote
Late Posted February 24, 2004 Report Posted February 24, 2004 Tom, as you're a "progressive trumpet" fan, you might want to order the new Wadada Leo Smith box on Tzadik. 1971-1979. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted February 25, 2004 Report Posted February 25, 2004 Yipes! There's a whole boatload of great music in the New Arrivals! From destroyed copies of Black Jazz records to overpriced Burton Greenes... take a scroll, but hold on to your hats! Quote
