TheMusicalMarine Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Ever since 2004, when various persons started threads predicting the end of the Fantasy labels, I've been playing catch up on titles. Although I still have probably 150-200 titles I'd like, I feel as though I'm finally over the hump. I got ten of the remaining Legends of Acid Jazz titles I had been missing (thanks, Magnificent Goldberg, for the comprehensive thread!), each for 8 bucks a pop: Boogaloo Joe Jones, Vol. 1 Idris Muhammad Melvin Sparks Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers Johnny "Hammond" Smith Don Patterson Houston Person Billy Butler Shirley Scott Taking advantage of JR.com's shipping offer, I also got the following for $7 each: The Billy Taylor trio with Candido Lucky Thompson - Lucky Strikes Barney Kessel's Swingin' Party at Contemporary Barry Harris - Bull's Eye Roy Haynes - Cracklin' Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis - Cookbook, Vol. 2 Steve Lacy - Evidence Yusef Lateef - Other Sounds Yusef Lateef - Cry!/Tender Chuck Wayne - Morning Mist Gerry Mulligan - Mullgan Plays Mulligan Sidney Bechet - Up A Lazy River Gerry Mulligan Quartet/Chubby Jackson Big Band Cal Tjader - Monterey Concerts Finally, I found super cheap copies of the following from Amazon marketplace vendors: Red Holloway - Brother Red Barry Harris - Luminescence! Ahmed Abdul-Malik - Jazz Sounds of Africa Shirley Scott - Soul Shoutin' Kenny Burrell (2fer) - All Day Long/All Night Long Whew! Someone on this board once told me "Don't forget to listen...." I don't know that I've internalized that bit of wisdom completely, but I'm doing my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papsrus Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Rummaging through my wish list at amazon for some bargains: Blues Masters Vol. 11: Classic Blues Women (used copy for around $4) Earl Hines & His Orchestra -- "Harlem Lament" (new copy for under $2) Two more: Dizzy Gillespie -- "Odyssey: 1945 - 1952" Dizzy, Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt -- "Sonny Side Up" Edited May 4, 2010 by papsrus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Dizzy Gillespie, "The Greatest Trumpet of Them All;" and Tyrone Washington, "Natural Essence." Both of these albums left me a little cold when I first bought them (40 years ago? Is that possible?) - they seemed to promise a lot more than they delivered - so I'm anxious to revisit them.

jeffcrom Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 A couple of jeffcrom recs from recent days: George Lewis with Kid Shots Tuba Fats' Chosen Few Brass Band -- "Street Music" Hope you enjoy them. The George Lewis CD also has GL's first (and best) recording of "Burgundy Street Blues," one of the sweetest, most wistful blues you'll ever hear. And The Chosen Few BB was one of the "realest," greasiest brass bands in New Orleans. I love the "Iko Iko/Food Stamp Blues" medley. BTW, the "Vinny Jones" listed on the back cover is actually the great brass band bass drummer Benny Jones, who currently leads the Treme BB.

jeffcrom Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I'm very much looking forward to those. The fella I spoke with at Jazz Crusade while ordering the Tuba Fats disc mentioned this one as well: Do you know it? I haven't heard that album, but four tracks from the same session fill out the Chosen Few Brass Band CD. Thing is, they're my least favorite tracks, so I've never been interested in picking up the full Chosen Few Jazzmen CD. But you'll know whether you want it once you hear the "bonus" tracks of the CD you ordered. Since you are looking for Tuba Fats stuff, I'll mention this obscure CD. I didn't mention it before because (1) Tuba only plays the tuba on a few tracks, although he sings on almost everything, and (2) it's not a great album, although it's a fun one. It's the kind of genial mixture of trad jazz, modern jazz, and R & B you might hear in New Orleans club - enjoyable, but not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmce Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Arthur Blythe - Blythe Spirit (Columbia 1981) Oliver Lake - Gallery (Grammavision 1986) Haven't listened to the Lake yet, but the Blythe is out of sight! Three different ensembles-- a quintet with cello and tuba, a quartet w/ Steve McCall, and another quintet with tuba and organ. I've not yet been all that able to get into Lenox Ave. Breakdown, but this one is much more my speed. What a fantastic record, a shame it'll never make it to CD. I recommend seeking it out.

jeffcrom Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Hank Mobley and John Handy are on their way from Mosaic, but Hank Crawford showed up today. I blame The Magnificent Goldberg for this; his recent blindfold test made me realize how little I knew about Mr. Crawford - kind of embarrassing for an alto sax player. So I ordered this from Oldies; seven of HC's Atlantic albums on four CDs. I'm playing From the Heart right now; I said "Damn!" twice in the first 30 seconds. Better late than never, I guess.
