paul secor Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Crossing my fingers that I was fast enough to catch Cecil Taylor - Nailed and Looking (Berlin Version) [not sure which one!] from Reckless. I'll be simply heartbroken if they're gone. $9 & $15, respectively!! Good luck. Quote

colinmce Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 I wish, though there are copies for $80 floating around the retailers so I should think about that. It's not for lack of desire! Still haven't gotten word from Reckless. Not looking good.... Quote

Still haven't gotten word from Reckless. Not looking good.... You get "Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe" yet I love writing that especially since the band is the AALY trio plus KV in its most intense state Quote
colinmce Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 I did, but have been doing that terrible thing wherein I've bought about 25 albums in the last month and listened to them very little. I need to sit down and go through them and stop buying! Quote

I need to sit down and go through them and stop buying! We have all been there. I just received the Blue Notes box, Con Affetto and the Hemingway trio disc with the Cecil 1956-62 bargain box, the 1965 Jimmy Giuffre concert, Very Urgent and Snurdy McGurdy on the way. And maybe the 4 volumes of Remarkable Saxophonists with Eddie Prevost on matchless once the mail works!!! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Now I've retired, I find I've time to absorb more new albums. But there's still a limit and forty in a month is just a trifle past it. (Done that twice this year and twice >35. It's kind of like having a job again ) MG Quote
erwbol Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Cecil Taylor - Looking (Berlin version) Solo New old stock from Discogs (€20). Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 2, 2014 Report Posted September 2, 2014 Fabuloso buy today! On Saturday, I went into the post office and was behind a guy posting what looked like 12" LPs (what else could look like an LP? I ask myself), so I asked him if he sold LPs. Yes, he did, so I asked him to hang on outside the post office for a chat. He gets stuff from car boot sales, mainly. He had some jazz though mainly he sells rock, which is the #1 market around these parts. So he lives on the council estate the other side of the graveyard from us. I said I'd be along when we got a sunny afternoon. That was this afternoon. As expected, there was lots of uninteresting stuff. but I got this little lot. Various artists - African sounds for Mandela - TS Afrika Bennie Moten's Kansas Cith Orchestra 1923-1925 - OkeH (Parlophone UK 1971 issue) Earl Hines - Tea for two - Black Lion (Audio Fidelity USA) (I got the other one, 'Tour de force', a couple of years ago and everyone here said I should get this, so I did.) Earl Hines & Stephane Grappelli - The giants - Black Lion Jazz Crusaders - Southern comfort - Blue Thumb (Movieplay, Portugal) (Never seen a Portuguese pressing of anything before!) All are in good nick. 'Tea for two' is the most pristine LP I've seen in my life, new or second hand. I gather that Audio Fidelity pressings were supposed to be pretty smart. OK, that lot - 5 albums, six records - cost me SEVEN POUNDS!!!!!! He's going to give me a bell if he gets any more jazz. Hope he doesn't learn about the prices of jazz albums before that happens .

xybert Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Fathers day here so as a treat the family took me to a music store and let me spend $60 NZD. I picked up: Charles Mingus - Mingus Moves (excellent! far exceeded my expectations). Tony Fruscella - Tony Fruscella (only skimmed through it but also a keeper). Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk (mono Warner/EU 1000Y version... sounds infinitely better than my old CD with the insane panning). Miles Davis - The Bootleg Series Vol 1 (i only had the single disc 'best of' edition previously as that was what was available in stores here, and i figured they'd eventually get around to releasing the 3 disc edition, but they never did, and i could never be bothered ordering it, but finally it's here!)

sidewinder Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Charles Mingus - Mingus Moves (excellent! far exceeded my expectations). A ridiculously under-rated session IMO. Every reviewer/critic seems to slag if off ! Quote
xybert Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Charles Mingus - Mingus Moves (excellent! far exceeded my expectations). A ridiculously under-rated session IMO. Every reviewer/critic seems to slag if off ! I definitely had significant trepidations, not least of all because i've had my ups and downs with Adams and Pullen. But man, Mingus Moves is strong. All i'll say is that i made the right call in picking this over the David Sanborn album that i was tempted to get (came home and found it on Spotify = dodged that bullet!) Quote
mikeweil Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Was looking for this for decades ... got a copy from Paris Jazz Corner offered through GEMM.com. There are samples on Youtube, for those who are curious - I won't listen to them 'cause I don't wanna spoil the fun of the first spin at home. Wasn't there a "What vinyl did you buy today" thread? If not, there sshould be one in the vinyl forum. Quote

Dan Gould Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 Birthday is next weekend and I was visiting Mom in Naples, FL and asked that in lieu of a gift she fund a vinyl safari to the only two record stores that looked decent: Record Trader and Echo Vintage Books and Vinyl, both in Fort Myers. Came away with: Montreux Blues Festival (Excello) - Lightnin' Slim, Whispering Smith, Jimmy Dawkins are on almost all of the tracks Guitar In My Hands Volume 2 (Moonshine) - all Texas bluesmen, I am guessing I have the Gatemouth tracks but the others should be new Goin to Chicago (Testament) - JB Hutto, Sam Lay, Floyd Jones - EddieTaylor, Billy Boy Arnold - I fear I may have these tracks elsewhere but what the hey. Ray Charles Live In Concert (ABC) - probably should have considered the likelihood that its available on CD but another what the heck purchase Oscar Peterson - Gerald Wiggins - Sessions, Live Best of all I still have $75 left for my south Florida vinyl safari next weekend at Record Rack and RadioActive records.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 My CD of the Ray Charles live doesn't have any bonus tracks. I reckon one's as well of with the vinyl as the CD, except for having to get up and turn it over. Nice buys, Dan. MG Quote

MG Thanks MG but per Amazon, Concord issued an expanded version in 2011 with six more tracks. And there are new copies under $6 through the Marketplace. Way less than what I paid for the LP. Quote

Hell, I'd better get that one. I assume it's this that you're talking about Which I found here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Live-In-Concert-Ray-Charles/dp/B0041KVJZK/ref=sr_1_36?ie=UTF8&qid=1410201368&sr=8-36&keywords=ray+charles+live Reviews say the sound isn't as good on the new stuff as on the original album tracks; that seems to be a drag. This is what someone says - The only downside to the concert is that there are some somewhat audible differences between the original LP selections and the previously unreleased tracks, including a rather obvious crossfade about 3/4 of the way through the running time. I've seen this audio anomaly mentioned elsewhere, but it most likely won't affect listening for most. Not sure I'll bother. If someone else has this, comment would be good. MG Quote
