What music did you buy today?

[sal]

I'm on business in Miami.....didn't bring any jazz with me, was going crazy, so I headed to a Border's yesterday after work and picked these up:

Roland Kirk - "Kirk in Copenhagen"

Tomasz Stanko - "Suspended Night"

Cannonball Adderley - "Fiddler on the Roof"

Gustav Mahler - "Symphony # 1"

All four are !!!

[SEK]

Ritual Trio with Billy Bang - "Big Cliff"

Gary Bartz - "Libra/Another Earth" (my old LP of "Another Earth" is worn out)

[EKE BBB]

Just ordered Ornette´s OOP Blue Note "Love call" from a member of this forum.

[brownie]

Bought a number of stillsealed recent Fresh Sounds releases at a recordshop which specializes in recycling CDs. They were on sale at €8 each (about $9).

I have yet to these CDs on sale at regular stores here.

What I don't understand about these items is that many of them bear pricetags from Tower. The Sonny Criss With GeorgeArvanitas CD has a $14,99 tag.

Strange that Spanish releases make their way into Paris discounts stores viw the USA. I'll let others figure it out! I'll enjoy the music.

I'm spinning the Monk right now, and I'm already wondering how I got along without it. I expect to have the same reaction to the Silver disc. Any bets?

[clifford_thornton]

quirky indie rock from a new band called White Magic and the first two Will Ackerman LPs on Windham Hill, which are great. I'd always blown him off because of the way his label went, but he's a brilliant guitarist and was paying homage to Takoma way before it was cool.

Dave Liebman "Return of the Tenor"

plus 10 more

I saw Dave Liebman perform Coltrane's Africa with some of the faculty at the Jazz Workshop Thursday night. Rufus Reid and Lynn Seaton on bass, Steve Davis and John Reily on drums, David Hazeltine on piano, three saxes (don't remember who), Dave Stryker on banjo. One of the most moving pieces of music I've ever heard in my life.

[BFrank]

Curtis Amy - "Katanga!"

Joe Henderson - "The Kicker"

Stan Getz/JJ Johnson - "At the Opera House"

Andrew Hill - "Passing Ships"

FZ - "The Grand Wazoo"

Patti Smith - "Trampin'"

"Floored Genius - The Best of Julian Cope and The Teardrop Explodes"

[Traded in a bunch of stuff at Amoeba today]

[gdogus]

BFrank - Floored Genius is a good collection, for sure! That, and Cope's very great album Peggy Suicide, are pretty much all one needs by him, IMO.

gdogus - Actually I like pretty much all of his stuff up until "Peggy Suicide" and have most of them on either vinyl or CD.

Marissa Marchant's first cd, only $950.00! Can you believe it?

Marissa Marchant's first cd, only $950.00! Can you believe it?

Did you misplace a decimal point?

I'm proud to report that I bought NO records or CDs this weekend. I did go to a live show. But, I repeat, no music purchases. After buying several big Mosaic sets, a couple of Mosaic Selects, a bunch of LPs, and some CDs, over the last couple of weeks, I figured it's time to take a buying hiatus.

[LAL]

Mongo Santamaria - Watermelon Man

Easily one of my worst buys from the last 4-5 years. The first 12 tracks consist of what to me are mainly commercial tunes infused with Latin rhythms which become boring after a few listens. Granted Watermelon Man is a funky boogaloo worth its weight in salt but that's it. The saving grace for this CD is Mongo's percussion works and the 'bonus' 6 live titles which include his composition, Afro Blue.

Thanks for the inspiration to give this a spin!

I dig Mongo very much and find these tunes to be "commercial" in a much more appealing and musical way than today's efforts. And the band with Marty Sheller, Bobby Capers and Pat Patrick swings them nicely.
