I spent a few minutes on a Disc Collector´s Fair in Recoletos, Madrid.

Not much of interest for jazzers, unless you´re a vynil collector.

Anyway (and as expected ^_^ ) I picked this three CDs, € 14.00 in total!:

-Ornette on tenor

-Italian Instabile Orchestra: European Concerts 1994-97

-Horace Parlan: Up and down (Spanish Time Life edition)

It's Whitsun Monday. A legal holiday here. All shops (or almost) are closed but the good people at Jussieu Jazz not far from my place were open. With plenty of new arrivals (brand new secondhand copy at friendly prices).

Today's purchases (CDs only) include:

- Eric Dolphy 'Left Alone' (the Gaslight Inn gig with Ed Armour, Herbie Hancock, etc.), the Japanese Smash copy. They also had the Lonehill version of this much cheaper but I went for the Japanese copy,

- Borah Bergman/Peter Brotzman/Andrew Cyrille 'Live at the Knitting Factory' (Soul Note),

- Dick Twardzick Trio 'Complete Recordings' (Lonehill),

- Maurice Vander Se Joue Nougaro (Phonogram),

- Saskia Laroo Meets Teddy Edwards 'Sunset Eyes 2000' (Laroo), a Dutch release which I am enjoying right now!

The lot for 45 euros (about $50) :)

And I refrained from buying some more interesting items.

So far NONE! Again, a minor miracle! (Though I did try. . . but I discovered that I can't buy the SEVENTH disc to the Jerry Garcia studio recordings box set that www.jerrygarcia.com is only offering with the box sets bought through them!)

Posted

Jackie McLean --- Let Freedom Ring RVG

Cecil Taylor --- Conquistador rvg

Grant Green --- Complete Quartets

Eliane Elias --- Plays Jobim

Miles --- Filles (upgrade for old 90's disc, the last of the quintet's that I 'needed' to replace)

N.E.R.D --- Fly Or Die

All for £45.

New Fopp store opened in Edinburgh to complement smaller store in the old town.

Brownie, I picked this up today used for a mere $4.00. I like what I have heard of Teddy Edwards and at that price it was an easy choice

Based on all the positive comments on this board about Rashaan Roland Kirk, I also bought a used copy the 2 CD Rhino Anthology 'Does Your House Have Lions'. I have to confess that I own no Kirk and I hope this is a good introduction (also it was only $10).

Ordered three Guy Lafitte's from Dusty Groove. Should have them no later than Friday. And, although this is severely off task, I'm going to pick up Velvet Revolver's debut CD on the way home. "Slither" is an instant hard rock classic.

Up over and out.
