ejp626 Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I've been fairly restrained these last few months, other than getting the 2-CD Joe Newman on RCA set. Today I dropped by DG and picked up a used copy of Elvin Jones' Youngblood, a cut-out of Taft Jordan's Mood Indigo and Barney Kessel's Feeling Free (Contemporary). I don't think I've ever heard of Feeling Free, but it looks fascinating with Kessel joined by Bobby Hutcherson and Elvin Jones. Looking forward to hearing it later today.

paul secor Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Made a visit to Sally's Place in Westport, Ct. & picked up a number of things, including: Borah Bergman/Roscoe Mitchell with Thomas Buckner: First Meeting (Knitting Factory Works) Muhal Richard Abrams: Vision Towards Essence (Pi) Saw First Meeting there almost a year ago, but passed on it. When I went there today, it was still there. Good news for me, but the fact that it sat there for a year is depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Halfway House Orchestra -- "Complete Recordings: Recorded In New Orleans, 1925-1928" Oscar 'Papa' Celestin and his Original Tuxedo Jazz Band - 1949-1953 Can't find your thread requesting early jazz recommendations, paps, so am adding this one here: I recall the first four tracks as sensational! They are "The Moon is Low", "The Sheik of Araby", B Flat Blues" and "Honeysuckle Rose" recorded in 1939 with John "Bugs" Hamilton, Gene Cedric, John Smith and Slick Jones. As electrifying small-group-with-vocals sides, they perhaps anticipate what Louis Jordan was to a few years later in such hits as "Caldonia", "Let the Good Times Roll", "School Days", etc. But I expect you already know/have those!

jeffcrom Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I'm far from home, in Bellingham, Washington, which is halfway between Seattle and Vancouver. I visited an independent CD store in town and was very impressed by their jazz section. Even after putting half of my original stack back, I walked out with these used CDs: Archie Shepp - Steam (Enja) Don Patterson - Boppin' & Burnin' (Prestige OJC) When I had fewer than ten jazz albums, Don Patterson played on one of them - a Verve Gene Ammons/Sonny Stitt. Albert Ayler - At Slugs' Saloon (ESP) Joe McPhee Po Music - Linear B (Hat Art) Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet - The Year of the Elephant (Pi) Don Cherry - Live at Cafe Montmarte, Vol. 2 My favorite Atlanta CD store always has Vol. 1 & 3, but I've never seen Vol. 2. Coleman Hawkins - Big Band 1940 (Jazz Anthology) David Newman - Captain Buckles (Label M) Recommended by The Magnificent Goldberg. Several of these have been on my want list for some time, so this was a fun afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
