What music did you buy today?

He mentioned that he "played a bit of guitar". 

I'm such a fool.

Well, I'm not sure he's been very high profile recently so I think you can give yourself a pass.  I used to see him play regularly with SHJ and EP 15-20 years ago

A few discs I ordered today.  More stuff to fuel my ongoing vocal jazz kick:

Mel Torme Sings Fred Astaire (Bethlehem)

 

Helen Merrill - Clear Out of This World (Antilles/Gitanes)

 

Nancy Harrow - Secrets (Soul Note)

❤❤❤ !!!

Mary Halvorson: Amaryllis

[Rabshakeh]

Not a purchase, but I've just found a massive box if my late father in law's records. Some great stuff in there, that will be finding its way to a new home. As someone who grew up with no music in the house I can't really imagine what it would have been like to have been surrounded by it.

Riki - Gold (Dais). During one of Bandcamp's sales, I liked the samples of this synth-pop singer so I picked up the vinyl. Reminds me a bit of an 80's rock band.

Both the new ones are interesting I think

[Rabshakeh]

From Richmix Records in Brixham. First time I'd visited it. The owner, Roger, is a fan of 70s rare groove type jazz and, oddly, collects Mainstream. I'd recommend it to anyone finding himself/herself in South Devon.

Dave Rempis: Scylla

[BFrank]

Picked these up from a small local record store here in SF. Mostly sealed between $3-10. Supposedly from Orrin Keepnews' estate.

Nice score.

I hit another Toronto record store yesterday -- Playa de Record on Spadina.  Picked up these LPs:

French RCA version

 

 

[HutchFan]

After kicking around in a few shops today, I brought home these titles -- all used, all vinyl:

2 LP set

 

The STEREOPHONIC version, oh yes 

 

with Harold Vick and Freddie Waits

 

Konitz sans drummer

Nice ones. Are you still in Canada?

alrrqdy had these on cd. But still wanted these vinyl reissues

Cy Touff – His Octet & Quintet

I cleared out a lot of records today; over thirty. Short sharp and brutal. My four year old son had tears in his eyes thinking that I might sell Jump Up Calypso by Harry Belafonte, but I took pity.

Then I took myself to Alan's on the Finchley Road, and bought myself this as a consolation prize. I've been going through a Kamuca phase for a while and this is the first time I've seen a record of his in the wild other than the Shelly Manne live set.

One of my favorite West Coast groups.

I came very close to buying this the last time someone brought this up and I found it darn hard to find. It's also very short (~28 minutes). Never on CD that I'm aware. Take a listen to it here and see if you think it's worth paying the current asking prices for it:

Yes. 

There are many record stores in Toronto. ... It's dangerous.

Rab,

If you're on a Richie Kamuca kick, you might want keep an eye out for this LP:

The Richie Kamuca Quartet - Richie (Concord, 1977)
with Mundell Lowe (g), Monty Budwig (b), and Nick Ceroli (d)

The Concord LP is actually a reissue.  Originally, it was issued on the tiny, L.A.-based Jazzz label as Richard Kamuca: 1976.

Like a slug of good whiskey, it goes down smooth and makes you feel warm.

I know that one, and am definitely on the lookout for it. Kamuca records (other than the Shelly Manne set) are hard to find.
