I've been needing some spirituality in my heathen, atheist self... This is as close as I can get...

The Chris Potter is really good...

I received my annual bonus, so I'm celebrating.  

Yesterday, I went to a record show & found some jazz LPs.  

Today, I ordered a bunch of classical stuff from philadelphiamusic on Discogs:

- Copland: Symphony No. 3; Quiet City / Bernstein, NYPO (DG, CD)
- Copland: Sextet; Piano Variations; Piano Quartet / BSO Chamber Players, Gilbert Kalish (Elektra-Nonesuch, LP)

- d'Indy: Symphonie No. 2 / Plasson, ON du Capitole de Toulouse (La Voix de Son Maître, LP)

If you look in the right places, you can find used classical music for remarkably low prices.  

This entire lot only set me back about $80.  That's nuts!

😍😍😍 ....

[T.D.]

Yeah, I'm way late on the first two, but there are so many good reissues these days it's difficult to keep up.

[HutchFan]

I just ordered a couple fun LPs that are a bit off-the-beaten-path:

The Alegre All Stars - Way Out, Vol. 4 (Alegre, 1965)
with Charlie Palmieri !!!  And Chombo and Kako and . . . 

 

Association P.C. - Erna Morena (MPS, 1973)
with Pierre Courbois (d), Toto Blanke (g), Jasper van 't Hof (el p, org), Sigi Busch (b), and Karl-Heinz Wiberny (ts, as)

The "P.C." stands for the drummer/leader, not Paul Chambers.  😜 

Typically outlandish MPS cover art.  Echoes of the Beatles' butcher cover, drowned instead of dismembered?

For those who aren't fans of German cinema, Erna Morena was a German film star who made her first movie in 1913.  I had no idea. . . . Is that her -- figuratively speaking -- in the sand?

That's still on my to-get list too.  So much interesting stuff out there.  It's impossible to keep up.  A delightful problem.

Guess I was napping when the , Connoisseur of Head On with the extra music was released. 

Remedied today, but for a much higher price than it would have been if I wouldn't have been napping back then.

I remember finding the bonus material on that release to be much stronger than the original album, so I think you'll be well pleased with your purchase! 

[JSngry]

I got the LPs of both it and Cirrus at about the same time. Same photo shoot, totally different records!

Liked both (for different reasons), so didn't bother to pay attention for any additional tracks when the CD came out. DOH!!!

I like Head On  as a tie-in of sorts to Iapetus, so anything extra will be welcome. Bayete was into something a little different there!

And with it being left out of the upcoming BH Mosaic ang left of the Select...sorta seems like "now or never" .

I like his two Prestige albums from that era a lot.  And he was really young then, 20 years old when Head On was made.  Wish some recordings of his even earlier work with John Handy were available.   Have always been very disappointed that he seemed to give up or else not be given  opportunities to continue on his path.  The Automatic Man album in the group with Michael Shrieve and others a couple years later was a musical (and commercial) disaster, then he disappeared from my musical radar.

new Nicole Glover & Marta Sanchez CDs.

Mine too, but he has been quite active!

Those Hills are great, if they had been on BN they'd be so much better known and regarded.

I just ordered this used 13-LP set of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau singing Schubert Lieder:

VG+, VG+ -- and silly inexpensive. 😃

Is that the complete repertoire of those pieces?
