Tom Storer Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) I recently ordered Craig Taborn's solo CD on ECM, Avenging Angel... and a new one by Aaron Goldberg with Guillermo Klein that looks promising... Edited July 11, 2011 by Tom Storer Quote
JohnJ Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Tower Records in Shibuya actually had a decent sale, but not unfortunately for jazz. Anyway, bought the following CD's for around $3.50 each. David Bowie - Aladdin Sane Todd Rundgren - Faithful Big Star - Live Quote
B. Goren. Posted July 13, 2011 Report Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) 5 CDs set with the music of Francis Poulenc. Edited July 13, 2011 by B. Goren. Quote
DMP Posted July 14, 2011 Report Posted July 14, 2011 Monk, "Live At The 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival." An Amazon reviewer noted that the concert ends with 2 big band arrangements that feature inappropriate, over-blown trumpet solos by Bobby Bryant. That clinched it! Quote
BillF Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 In view of the prohibitive price of this rarity, I made a CD from a purchased download. Sensational stuff! Is that a hint of patriotism I detect in my left-wing soul? Quote
alankin Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) I stopped by Newbury Comics in Northampton, Mass. after my wife's concert in Amherst. Picked up some 3.99 OJC overstocks -- Gene Ammons - Late Hour Special, Booker Ervin - Exultation!, Freedom Book and The Trance, Sonny Stitt - Night Letter, Lucky Thompson - Happy Days, Bobby Timmons Trio - From the Botton, Dizzy Reece - Asia Minor, and a few more.

BillF Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Missed that one. Amazon.uk's lowest prices are £35.61 (new), £19.99 (used) and £7.49 (download). Quote

When I think that at the time we longed to hear American musicians and thought we were being served inferior stuff by the locals! We must have had cloth ears! Quote
BillF Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) The price of this one was more like it: £3.38 new including shipping Edited July 20, 2011 by BillF Quote
ejp626 Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I've been pretty good lately (with far more outgoing than incoming CDs!). But I couldn't resist this for under $3: Jim Hall Concierto (CTI) I will probably see if I can use up my soon-to-be-worthless Borders cards on CDs that are actually in stock, since I have had no luck with their on-line shopping.

Chuck Nessa Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 I finally got around to ordering the digipak remastering of Coltrane's Interstellar Space. Quote

Re sound, I spend quite a bit of time listening to bop sides from the 40s in comparison with which the Tubby is super hi-fi Quote

Re sound, I spend quite a bit of time listening to bop sides from the 40s in comparison with which the Tubby is super hi-fi No qualms about the sound on the LP. Both the mono and stereo versions are great ! I thought the concerns re: CD sound were with '100% Proof' and 'Mexican Green' but it sounds as if the whole lot must have been compromised. I suspect that the Japanese Digipacks are better - the one I have of 'Tubbs Tours' is fine. Quote

The soloists haven't been sufficiently "foregrounded" to make them properly audible with the band roaring behind. Edited July 24, 2011 by BillF Quote
EKE BBB Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 Duke Ellington Treasury shows, vol.14, and a couple of additional volumes from the DETS series that I was missing. Quote
