When you get the chance to listen to this a few times, please post your thoughts here!! — in a thread I made a while back for the entire CD.

 

Sure, if I can remember...😄

Not sure I recall that thread, but the disc was also recommended in a thread on the Vampi Soul label.

I recently picked up another Vampi Soul disc from DG for $5.99

and liked it so much that I resolved to buy Fetén in the next order, same vendor / price.

I'm filling in Commodore gaps (or at least what is possible to fill in on CD) and grabbed the three Giants of the Tenor Sax volumes, one with Chu Berry and Lucky Thompson, one with Coleman Hawkins and Frank Wess and one with Ben Webster and Don Byas, along with Boogie Woogie and the Blues - Piano Solos by Albert Ammons.

I had wanted the newer Hawkins/Berry compilation with alternates but knew I'd miss the orphaned Thompson and Wess sides.  I then won a four-disc lot with these four albums on eBay for less than $14 after shipping.  The Ammons disc was a happy bonus.  From the name, I expected all solo piano, so the fantastic session with Page, Byas, Dickenson, Crosby and Catlett was a welcome surprise.

Got the disc. Sounded very good on a first listening. Unfortunately, the CD arrived scratched and has to go back.😢

Hope to say more if / once a replacement copy is received.

Such a bummer when that happens!  :( 

 

Because it's such a low-priced item, they (DG) are crediting my account rather than sending a replacement. So I plan to throw a copy (if still in stock) in my next order. The scratch is at the end of the last track, so I can listen to around 95% of the disc straight through.

In the meantime, I ordered this from elsewhere

One of my favorite Discogs vendors is having a half-off sale on selected inventory.  . . . and I kinda went bananas.  I just ordered 40 CDs.  :crazy:

You drop word of a 50% off sale by a (I assume) predominantly jazz seller on discogs and don't give out the name of the seller so others can see what is left?

:P  That would be philadelphiamusic.  

https://www.discogs.com/seller/philadelphiamusic/profile?sort=listed%2Cdesc&limit=250&q=Half+Off+-+Marked+for+Removal

Note: Only some inventory is half off.  About 1,700 jazz CDs.

I guess I ordered from them a little too early.  And right now not having too much extra cash with a septic tank pump out and wife's truck a/c on the fritz. But thanks for the link.

And I thought I went mad with a recent 7 item order to Honest Jon's 😃

:g  Yeah, I can pump the brakes on the buying for a while.  I've got plenty of new-to-me stuff to dig into.  

 

So what did YOU order from Honest Jon's???   Out with it!   Don't be shy.  ;)

OK, very familiar with the Philadelphia record store, gave it a quick whirl.  $31 (including tax, S&H) bought me this.  Pretty hard-boppy in retrospect, but hey, that is my go to.  Particularly looking forward to the Von Freeman Chicago CD:

Robert Mazurek With Eric Alexander - Green & Blue

Joshua Breakstone Featuring Tommy Flanagan And Jimmy Knepper - Evening Star

Doug Raney Sextet - Meeting The Tenors

N.Y. Hardbop Quintet - A Mere Bag Of Shells

Joshua Breakstone Trio - No One New

The Jodie Christian Trio - Reminiscing

Brad Goode, Von Freeman - Inside Chicago Vol. 1.

Sir Charles Thompson - Robbins' Nest

Jim Rotondi - Dark Blue

Christian Winther - Blue Function

Ryan Kisor - The Sidewinder

Tardo Hammer - Tardo's Tempo
