I've had it for a while now. Well worth having, a strong follow up to the first quartet album which I love.

Just need them to play London after the madness subsides...

A couple LPs that I just ordered via Discogs:

R-4505419-1366793391-4056.jpeg.jpg

Evans' Priestess came out in 1983, but it was recorded six years earlier in 1977.   I didn't know that particular fact, so I inadvertently overlooked the LP when I was compiling my 70s jazz survey.  Argh!  ... Someone -- don't remember who! -- said I should give Priestess a listen.  They liked it better than my Evans-in-the-Seventies choice, Svengali.  We shall see!

I've been enjoying Nightwings, Turrentine's 1977 LP arranged by Claus Ogerman.  So I decided to go back to the well and get West Side Highway.  I think it's their second and final collaboration.

First trip out for some physical record shopping, all LPs. It was a good feeling to chat with the staff and flick through the racks again

HJ at Kings X. They have a nice second hand selection at the moment. I could have bought as many again

Just been there, and I can see that. They have redone one whole side of the shop so that it is all second hand jazz vinyl. Reasonable prices too.

I also ordered this and I’m into it just as I am the first one.

I’m still angry I missed their 2 set shows @ Jazz Gallery last year. It will NOT happen again. As much as I love Mary, Tomeka might be on a different plane. Last time I saw her with Taylor Ho Bynum’s 9 piece, she was a highlight among highlights within that extraordinary band.

Not at Kings X, they tend to be at Portobello. They're website has recently listed a lot of second hand cds. Look for 'one off' listing

Oh yes. I was my birthday, so guilt free stuff.

I picked up How Deep / How High by Warne Marsh and Sal Mosca, In Sommerhausen by Marion Brown,  a tatty but decently priced Have No Fear by Von Freeman, Unpredictability of Predictability by Jerome Cooper and Tenor Conclave. 

As you say, it would have been easy to have bought that much again. Impressive for such a small shop.

The guy at the desk said that a lot came from the founder of the original shop's own collection, and that they'd made the decision to change the focus of the King's Cross shop because rare jazz vinyl is selling again. 

They had some fairly serious stuff up on the walls. Early Wadada Leo Smith / Alabama Feeling, etc.; records I was surprised to see.

Nice. Sommerhausen is a great album, as is the Cooper. I was trying to convince the staff member when I was there that the Marzette ESP was worth the prices ticket.

Thanks for not buying the Braxton/Roscoe for which I hope to return this weekend!

Interesting to hear about the source and also the reorientation - I remember the downstairs Portobello shop which had tons of secondhand vinyl in the 80s.

Happy Birthday+1
