Some more miscellaneous buys from BMG freebies, B&N coupon and other internet finds:

Just got this and have to say that this is excellent. If you're into electric blues/rock you should check this out.

After Bluesbreakers, you might want to get the expanded reissue of A Hard Road--it's even better than Bluesbreakers (in my opinion).

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check it out. I see that it features Mayall with Peter Green so I have few doubts that I'd probably like it. I've really enjoyed Peter Green's version of Fleetwood Mac in the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions box set I purchased recently.

I look forward to hearing the AEC/Fred Anderson set. Guest artists with working bands don't always come off, but I hope that this one does.

Bennie Moten: Band Box Shuffle 1929-1932 (Hep)

Bruckner: Symphony No. 3 - Tintner/Royal Scottish Nat'l. Orch.

Against my better judgment, I bought three Mosaic Select sets today. Found them used at about the last place in town I'd ever think to look for such a thing. Picked up Randy Weston, Duke Person ($35/each) and Cooper/Shank ($19). It wasn't a huge savings, but they had a buy five get one deal and the wife had some DVDs she wanted, so it evened out.

I don't even know if the Cooper and Shank set is my bag, but for $19, what the shit?

[paul secor]
