Dan Gould Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) 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. So today I never made it to Record Rack, for just under $73 I walked out of RadioActive records with (in order of mounting excitement) Scott Hamilton/Warren Vache, Skyscrapers (Concord) John Bunch, John's Other Bunch (Famous Door) - with Scott and Warren in the front line, should make a nice two-fer CDR Presenting Harold Ashby (Progressive) Buddy Tate - Harry Edison, Our Bag (Riff) - a 1975 live date in Holland Plas Johnson, Bop Me Daddy (Tampa) Mickey Tucker, Sojourn (Xanadu) - with Bill Hardman, Junior Cook and Ronnie Cuber front line Arnett Cobb is Back (Progressive) Johnny Griffin, You Leave Me Breathless (Black Lion) - with Kenny Drew at Montmartre, I was sure I had this but was surprised when I only found other Montmartre recordings in the binder Billy Mitchell Live, Now's The Time (Catalyst) - seems like this one may be pretty darn rare, a 1975 show at a club on Long Island, seems pretty cool to snag And in addition to being a pretty nice take, I had the smarts not to go for an Affinity repackaging of the Frank Strozier-Booker Little Vee Jay record, nor Junior Mance, Truckin' and Trackin (Beehive) I'm just not so sure on the two records I left behind: Jackie Mclean, Tune Up (Steeplechase, from the Left Bank with Lamont Johnson on piano - I got less interested in Jackie Mac as the 60s went on but I have to admit what I heard at the listening station wasn't bad) Memphis Slim, Born With the Blues - a new vinyl reissue, what caught my eye was that Lowell Fulson plays guitar on this. Still $20 seemed high to me. Any thoughts about the two I left behind? It's not even my birthday yet and I think I've done gooood. Thanks Mom (and Universal Property & Casualty for the $25 gift card)! Edited September 13, 2014 by Dan Gould Quote
JohnJ Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Bought this at the main jazz Disk Union in Ochanomizu. Outer box is rather frayed but seems a bargain at the equivalent of around $40. Quote

Clunky Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 I don't know Fujii, but this one has come well-recommended on this board, so I'm excited to hear it. I saw Fujii in a trio the other night at Pathhead ( a small village outside Edinburgh. Tom Bancroft (drums ) lead the completely improvised set . It was a stunning concert that really defies description. I felt truly privileged . I ended up buying 4 discs featuring her or her husband ( trumpeter Natsuki Tamura ) I think her Ma- do quartet is possibly her best group. Quote

Steve Reynolds Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Looks like carved stone of some sort to me. Plus it's on not two so that usually means stunning audio quality from my past experiences with the label save for 2-3 exceptions - alas they are not the quality equivalent of hat art after all...but the great sounding recordings are truly something Quote

Daniel A Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Not today, but last Monday: Gary McFarland 'Profiles' Dave Mackay / Vicky Hamilton 'Rainbow'. I never really knew there was a follow-up to their first LP on Impulse, which I've always liked for what it is, inobtrusive late 60s pop-jazz with a feeling. In some respects 'Raibow' is the more interesting, in that it is more jazzy and sometimes more experimental. I'm now listening to it for the first time. Apart from Mackay on piano it has Ira Schulman on flutes and saxophones, Joe Pass on guitar and a rhythm section consisting of Chuck Domanico and Colin Bailey. Quote
niels Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 Went to a brick and mortar shop since ages yesterday. Seem to have a love/hate relationship with them, as they never have something that's on my actual wishlist (which is very big), but you can stumble across some great albums you didn't even know you really wanted before entering the store. Ornette Coleman - To Whon Who Keeps a Record [Atlantic] Paul Bley - Ramblin' [Actuel] Charles Mingus Sextet (with Eric Dolphy) - Cornell 1964 (Blue Note) Quote
niels Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 And today I ordered my September "online" batch. Nice mixture of some old and some new I think: The Convergence Quartet - Slow and Steady (2013, NoBusiness) Craig Taborn Trio - Chants (2013, ECM) Fred Anderson - Blue Winter (2005, Eremite) Fred Anderson - Timeless (2006, Delmark) Darius Jones - Man-ish Boy (A Raw and Beautifull Thing) (2008, AUM Fidelity) Mal Waldron - The Quest (1961, New Jazz) Quote
colinmce Posted September 23, 2014 Report Posted September 23, 2014 You hit the motherlode! The Quest is an experience like no other. Quote

niels Posted September 24, 2014 Report Posted September 24, 2014 @Colinmce and Steve Reynolds, I have to say that lately I just feel like a kid in a candy store music wise. Since a year or so, my horizon has expanded to so much more (to me) new music, that in the coming times/years I can spend my budget purely to "essential" albums on my wish list I think. And I have to be honest, this expansion has to be largely credited to this forum. There's so much knowledge and recommendations shared in current topics, but also in the "vaults" of the forum, that my wishlist is just excessively growing with every month. Quote
