Morganized Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 The Fantasy warehouse clearance sale at Oldies.com was so good I had to go back for more. Fortunately, I was able to tack these onto my previous order so I didn't have to pay a shipping charge again. Various - The Birdlanders, Vol. 1 (Al Cohn, J.J. Johnson, Kai Winding, Milt Jackson, Henri Renaud, Duke Jordan, Percy Heath, Gene Ramey, Charlie Smith, Lee Abrams.) Various - The Birdlanders, Vol. 2 (Al Cohn, Kai Winding, Oscar Pettiford, Henri Renaud, Tal Farlow, Gene Ramey, Max Roach, Denzil Best.) [ I picked both of these up myself. Looking forward to hearing them. Did you have any trouble adding to your order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to hearing them. Did you have any trouble adding to your order? No, I had no problems finding additional CDs to add to my order! Actually, I placed my initial order online July 5th. On the morning of the 7th I called customer service directly to see if I could add to my initial order. I thought I'd give it a shot but I had already resigned myself to placing a 2nd order if they said no. The call was kind of weird. At first the rep shot me down saying it couldn't be done because I placed the initial order online and now I was calling in. I said, "OK" and then she told me to wait while she checked on something. She then shot me down again saying it wasn't in a place where she could add on to it. I said, "OK" and then she asked me to wait again while she checked on something. She then came back on and said that she would be able to add onto the order. I gave her the titles, she confirmed what I gave her, she gave me a new total and said it would be under the same order number. Now I'll have to wait and see what happens because orders that are called in apparently don't show online. I don't see that they've charged my bank card anything yet and the site shows my order is still processing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) A Pete La Roca rec from save, and also, I really dug Elmo Hope's Trio and Quintet, so I went noodling around for a couple of the sidemen, searched the recs threads here, and came up with a couple of discs featuring Harold Land that I'm pretty excited about. Pete La Roca -- "Basra" Harold Land -- "The Fox" Curtis Counce -- "Complete Studio Recordings: The Master Takes" Edited July 12, 2009 by papsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 imho the next elmo hope you need is home-coming (which is also on the all-star sessions twofer but without alternate takes and with one master take exchanged for a slightly shorter alternate... excellent cd anyway) bought some used cds Philly Joe Jones - Mean What You Say (Sonet) Gene Shaw - Breakthrough Chris Woods with Georges Arvanitas - Chris Meets Paris Meets Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fox is a masterpiece, of course. All you need now is Harold in the Land of Jazz! The "Complete" is a Gambit. I was originally looking at "Carl's Blues" (ojc) but "Complete" included the tracks on that title, and I wanted to cut a fairly wide swath as a way of introduction. I have put "In the Land of Jazz" on my save-for-later list, thanks. imho the next elmo hope you need is home-coming (which is also on the all-star sessions twofer but without alternate takes and with one master take exchanged for a slightly shorter alternate... excellent cd anyway) Thank you for recommending that one! "Homecoming" is now on order. Also: "Introducing Johnny Griffin" Edited July 12, 2009 by papsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Spent the past two weeks in Budapest - great city! Not much jazz though, and CDs as overprized as elsewhere in ole yurp (that is, in the real, offline, world). Scored lucky though and found the Ellington 40CD box for roughly 65€ (new and sealed): Also picked up these three: Attila Zoller - The Horizon Beyond (w/Don Friedman, Barre Philips, Daniel Humair - Act CD reissue, rather pricey...) Ted Curson - Plenty of Horn (Fresh Sound) Bobby Hutcherson - Montara (Blue Note) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Found the Verve Elite album The Kid and the Brute for only 10 bucks. It's quite good, too! But now I have to go searching for another slimline case. One thing I hate about those Verve Elites is the dimwitted packaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelz777 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 If you live anywhere near a Half-Price Book store, you should really get on their mailing (or email) list. A couple of times a year they offer coupons good for 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% off an item. Over the last couple of days I picked up some great deals on some still-sealed CDs. Billy Taylor Trio With Ed Thigpen & Earl May Elmo Hope Trio - Complete Studio Recordings: The Master Tapes (4-CD, includes "New Faces, New Sounds", "Meditations", "Elmo Hope Trio", "Homecoming", "Sounds From Riker's Island", "Here's Hope", "High Hope", "The Final Sessions") I've had my eye on this one and it's been sitting on the shelf at Half-Price Books for the last several months. I couldn't pass it up at 40% off. John Benson Brooks - Folk Jazz U.S.A. (Contains "Folk Jazz U.S.A. and "Alabama Concierto" featuring the likes of Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Art Farmer and Cannonball Adderley) Grant Green - Organ Trio And Quartet (Contains GG's "Iron City" and Sam Lazar's "Space Flight") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
