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?

  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.   

 

[Eric]

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

If I am going to hop on the Philly music sale I think I have to get into that list tonight ... it was already down around 1500 in the jazz category.  But I don't have time at the moment.

Telepathy - Cindy Blackman $1.90

Deep Purple - Arnett Cobb $5.07

That Philadelphia site is chock full of jazz records by female vocalists who do their damnedest to make alluring cover photos. How good they actually sing. I couldn't tell. 

Fortunately there were also a buttload of Sue Rainey sides. Known quantity on all counts!

Harold Danko: Trillium (Steeplechase preorder)

Someone here on the forum was discussing Raney a while back -- it might've been you, Jim -- so I snagged one of her CDs.

Both of these are full-on FIVE STAR discs, imo.

Ha ha.  I had the same reaction (to the first half of your post).

Sue Raney has serious skills. She's one of those singers who makes everything sound easy when in fact what and how she sings is anything but easy. You know, she comes off as all sunny and bright and non-threatening, but really listening to her is like DAMN, that woman is dealing! 

I also noticed that that site had a lot of the Audiophile label, which had a lot of records by really good singers who were jazz-adjacent, at the least. Being on a fixed income these days, I resisted the temptation to load up, but if anybody likes that sort of thing, hey, carpe diem.
