What music did you buy today?

[BruceH]

Finally bought a CD compilation of British Invasion songs. Have tons of this stuff on analog (vinyl and cassette) but very little on CD.

[BillF]

Bob Florence Limited Edition, State of the Art (BBC/USA)

[save0904]

Sonny Rollins East Broadway Rundown

[ejp626]

Stan Getz Reflections

Barney Wilen Dreamtime

(this is Wilen near the end of his life returning to straight-ahead jazz -- pretty nice but I need to listen more closely. DG still has a few copies in stock.)

[Aggie87]

Found a couple of interesting titles at that big box store that starts with a "W" today:

Jackson Browne - Running On Empty cd + dvda

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go cd + dvd

Bob Dylan - MTV Unplugged

Each of these were $5! I think they're remaindered or something, which is odd to find in a big retailer.

[BruceH]

You Heard It Here First! (Ace)---26 classics from the 50's and 60's heard here in their original, pre-hit versions.

A great idea, and someone could easily fill 3 or 4 (or more) CD's with original versions of hit songs. I didn't know that "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & the Comets was the SECOND version of that song. The first was by Sunny Dae & the Knights.

[NaturalSoul]

Charles Mingus Mingus Ah Um (Legacy Edition)

[BruceH]

One of those EMI 2-fers: This Is June Christy/June Christy Recalls Those Kenton Days

And....

The American Roots of the British Invasion (another "dig the originals" compilation)

[paul secor]

Varese: The Complete Works - Chailly/Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra/Asko Ensemble

Elliott Carter: String Quartets No. 2,3,4 - Pacifica Quartet

[jeffcrom]

Varese: The Complete Works - Chailly/Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra/Asko Ensemble

That's a great album, even if some of the unfinished stuff is kind of disposable.

Looking forward to listening. Probably won't have the time for concentrated listening til next week.

I just dropped way too much on a 9-CD collection from the Swedish Metronome label. It's called, Jazz in Sweden, 1949-1961, The Legendary Years, a Rhino Japanese-only release. For a fan of Nordic jazz, it's a genuine treasure trove. Among others it includes artists like Ake Persson, Harry Arnold, Rolf Ericson, Gunnar Johnson, Georg Riedel, Jan Johansson, Arne Domnerus and two full CD's of the great Lars Gullin. In addition to the "locals", there are generous appearances from visiting Americans the likes of Stan Getz, Benny Bailey, Roy Eldridge, James Moody, Freddie Redd, Jimmy Raney, Tommy Flanagan, Quincy Jones, Ernestine Anderson, Teddy Wilson, Zoot Sims and last, but not least, Clifford Brown.

The packaging is first rate, as nice as I've seen. A hard shell case with a beautiful booklet. Only problem is it's mostly in Japanese, but this is a minor negative considering the overall quality of he music and the presentation. I couldn't be happier. An easy 9 out of 10.

Up over and out.

"Dr." Lonnie Smith: Rise Up
