[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Another great Syliphone 2 CD compilation from Sterns, selected by Graeme Counsel; this time featuring Keletigui & ses Tambourinis.

I already have about half of one disc, so I know it's terrific. And the rest, as I listen, is every bit as good so far.

Real excited about that Condon Chronological Classics, above. Anyone know it?

After reading jeffcrom's New Orleans brass bands thread, inspired to order:

Eureka Brass Band -- "New Orleans Funeral and Parade"

Earlier this week I spent a couple hours at the Berkeley Amoeba and picked up a brand new Good Time Jazz title (The Famous Castle Jazz Band In Stereo) that's not even available used on Amazon for 8 bucks, and 18 or so Blues and Rhythm Classics titles for 5 bucks a pop. Compared to the Half Price Books and Cheapo locations in the Twin Cities, Amoeba's prices are damned fine.

18 Classics R&B titles for $5 each! That's a great score.

Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet +1: 3 Nights in Oslo (Smalltown Superjazz; 5 CDs)

I know! Brand new and shrink-wrapped, too. For whatever reason, they're in much less demand than the jazz classics series.

The Woody Herman "Mosaic Select." I'm beginning to think the early '60's was the golden age of the big bands!!

[kh1958]

Three new releases (June 22) pre-ordered:

Jason Moran--Ten

Terje Rypdal--Crime Scene

Manu Katche--Third Round

[papsrus]

Prompted by Bev's interest in the listening to thread, two Ornette albums I've wanted to pick up for some time:

"Something Else" and "Tomorrow Is The Question." Also, John Casimir's Young Tuxedo Jazz Band.

The Hubbard, too. Critics seem to be hard on it, but I think it's one of his best.

Can speak up for three of those. The Parker is great - very well recorded for a live date - and there's a fascinating contrast between Sir Charles Thompson, late in his career, and Red Garland, early in his. The Blue Mitchell date is very nice and it's so good to hear a late example of Victor Feldman's fabulous piano! Many have said this before me, but Roots and Herbs is a remarkably good Messengers album to have seen the light of day so late.

Can't believe Roots and Herbs sat in the can all that time. What a great date! Haven't spun the Parker yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
