Dan Gould Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 I will definitely listen to the Monterose and report before I get to this, latest purchase: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) Stopped by old friends in Lüneburg on our way to the North Eastern German coast and stepped into some antiquarian book and record shop before having dinner at a fine Persian restaurant - bought a German LP from 1975 reissuing some Mat Mathews tracks originally released on Brunswick 78's and EPs: Herbie Mann, Dick Katz, Percy Heath, Kenny Clarke, Max Wayne, Walter Bolden are the sidemen. AFAIK know this LP was a rare reissue - there was a British LP that did not include as many tracks. Someone should have made a CD with Mathews' comlete Brunswick tracks - there are only six more than on this LP. Will have to wail until I get back home in mid-August before I can give it a listen ...

HutchFan Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Ordered these LPs from a vendor on discogs. All LPs in VG+ or better condition. Total outlay $35 -- and that includes shipping. Bill Barron - Jazz Caper (Muse) Features a killer lineup. Along with brother Kenny, the band consists of Jimmy Owens, Buster Williams and Ed Blackwell. Earl Hines - The Quintessential Recording Session (Chiaroscuro) I already have Quintessential, Continued. Looking forward to hearing the sister record. Jasmine - Self-Titled (West 54) Been listening to this rare Latin-fusion band via YT and decided to spring for the whole enchilada. With Bill O'Connell, Steve Berrios, et al. New York Jazz Quartet - Blues For Sarka (Inner City) I collect everything led or co-led by Sir Roland. The music's already in my collection, but I'm upgrading from MP3s to vinyl. Bobby Shew - Outstanding in His Field (Inner City) Taking a flyer on this one, never heard any of it. Interesting line-up with Bill Mays, Bob Magnusson, et al. McCoy Tyner - The Greeting (Milestone) McCoy with George Adams. What's not to like?!?! Joe Venuti & Dave McKenna - Alone at the Palace (Chiaroscuro) I love Venuti's duo album with Marian McPartland. Thought I'd give this one a try. Jessica Williams - Portraits (Adelphi) An early, 2-LP set of solo recordings. Jessica Williams - Nothin' But the Truth (BlackHawk) A trio set from the 80s. Herb Wong's BlackHawk label put out some terrific music back in the day. Another enticement: the LP is still sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have a few imports by Bellaphon with those markings too. It's odd to see "West Germany," but the Cold War wasn't that long ago -- at least for someone my age. (I'm 48.) My wife-to-be was in West Germany visiting relatives in 1990 when Germany was reunified. And all that seems like just "a few years" ago. . . Tempus fugit, eh? By the way, what do you think of Nothin' But the Truth, optatio? Is it a good record? Edited August 15, 2016 by HutchFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeBop Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I love Nothin' But The Truth. Perhaps there's a sentimental "boost", having spent my formative years listening to Jessica and Bud Spangler. But I do think it's a good one. A few years ago, I went to hear Hal Stein who opened with the title tune. We had a nice chat about the recording. Maybe John Wiitala was the link to Stein; he played on Stein's Spirit album.

ejp626 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I've definitely slowed down on the music acquisition front. I did recently pick up a rock CD - Day for Night by The Tragically Hip, and I just ordered Bill Evans's The Bill Evans Album (Columbia). This was mostly since it was the best jazz album I found under $7 (with only moderate searching) to get over the free shipping minimum.

BillF Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) In the age of Spotify my CD buying has dwindled to gems formerly available on Spotify, but now disappeared from their selections. In that category are these which should be arriving anytime now: P.S. Amazon has returned my payment on the first of these. It's looking as if Spotify drops items when they're no longer available on CD. But the Barcelonans are still there with this: Edited September 3, 2016 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted September 2, 2016 Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) Earlier today, I picked up a still-sealed copy of Bunky Green's Places We've Never Been (Vanguard, 1979). I already know & love this music -- but I've only heard it as MP3 downloads. Now, I'm looking forward to hearing it in full, unsullied-vinyl fidelity.

duaneiac Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Went to a Half-Price Books store today to take advantage of their Labor Day sale. There I found a couple of used LPs: The Old Dude & The Fundance Kid -- Budd Johnson & Phil Woods (with Richard Wyands, George Duvivier and Bill Goodwin), a 1984 album and, according to the liner notes, Budd Johnson's final recording session as he died in Oct. of that year. And a couple of new CD items But I also stopped by a nearby Rasputin's store on the way and picked up a handful of used CDs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HutchFan Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I've been on an Art Song/Lied kick for the last few days, so I decided to order these two Elly Ameling CDs: The Early Recordings, Vols. 3 & 4 (RCA, originally released on Deutsche Harmonia Mundi) Vol. 3 features lieder by Brahms & Schumann, and Vol. 4 has lieder by Schubert & (more from) Schumann. I'm particularly looking forward to hearing the Brahms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
