SEK Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Today I received, from Dusty Groove, Randy Weston's "African Rhythms" ("African Cookbook" and "Niles Little Big") CD, a very nice recording on the French "Comet" label from 1969. Two other recent acquisitions are very recent releases on Michigan's "Entropy Stereo" label: "Ashirai Pattern" by Faruq Z. Bey w/ Northwoods Improvisers (I'm really enjoying this one) and Griot Galaxy's "Live at the D.I.A. 1983" (I think I'd like this better with a little editing/fading of the crowd noise, but, as it is, it documents a good Griot Galaxy concert with decent sound. Also I think that with the continuing resurgence of Sun Ra's popularity and with certain current Chicago trends that get a lot of buzz, having some Griot Galaxy in print is great and should be eye-opening for many.) Faruq Z. Bey continues to grow, creating compelling music with the support of the Northwoods Improvisers and some longer-time musical collaborators. I've heard that the Faruq and Northwoods concert last weekend in Ferndale (which included 3 additional saxophonists in the ensemble) was rather spectacular and very well received. Unfortunately, I could not attend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulfman Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Picked up Fathead Newman's Under a Woodstock Moon for $3 from a clearance bin. Excellent session from 1996. I really need to get some more Fathead...any suggestions welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceH Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 (edited) Picked up Fathead Newman's Under a Woodstock Moon for $3 from a clearance bin. Excellent session from 1996. I really need to get some more Fathead...any suggestions welcome. There used to be a budget double-CD that had two albums on each disc----four records-worth, supposedly his best Atlantics. I'm not getting anything til that comes back into print, damnit! Also got the three new Columbia Armstrong Hot Fives&Sevens w/liners by Giddins. Forgot about that. (Had the music on vinyl for decades.) And "Hard Drive," an early Blakey with Johnny Griffin and Junior Mance. Not bad, but not great.

Jazzmoose Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 J'Moose, I don't think I'm the only one who see The Essential Sly Stone and Tear the Roof Off in your future soon. One disc anthologies simply aren't enough with these men. You could be right with Sly, but I'm afraid I've developed a SERIOUS Parliament/Funkadelic jones that NO compilation can cure; I see a major buying spree on my horizon...

Claude Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 (edited) Today's pickups from the second hand vinyl bin: James Newton - Romance and Revolution (Blue Note, 1986) A brilliant set, comparable to the better known "African flower" Andrew Hill - From California with Love (Artists House, 1978) A solo recording. Haven't listened to it yet. A gatefold LP with an 8 page booklet Edited May 21, 2003 by Claude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukrion Posted August 12, 2003 Report Share Posted August 12, 2003 I just upgraded my Collectors choice of Art Blakey, Indestructible. Haven't cracked it open yet. I also bought the Blue Note SACD Blue Train. Have to check that out with RVG looking as if he had his hand in the DSD process. Non-Jazz. Captain Beefheart and the Magic band, Grow Fins Box-set and Dust Sucker, Bat Chain Puller, which was some major chump-change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacknife Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 (edited) Horace Silver - Silver's Serenade Donald Byrd - Blackjack, Fuego Les McCann - In New York Jimmy Smith - I'm Movin' On Art Blakey - Indestructable, Ritual Sonny Rollins - V1 John Coltrane - Blue Train Konitz Meets Mulligan Dexter Gordon - Our Man In Paris Lou Donaldson - Everything I Play Is Funky Roland Kirk - We Free Kings Whew, and I think I'm forgetting a few. At this pace I'm quickly running out of storage space (and money)! Edited August 13, 2003 by jacknife Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Found something kind of interesting this weekend - an advance, promo copy of the Thelonious Monk COLUMBIA YEARS 3 CD boxed set. It has all the music as well as the liners, but they are on tray cards that you have to read through clear CD holding trays, only a minor annoyance. Best of all was that it cost only $14 used. Normally would not have gone for the box, but easily worth $14 to get the few odds and ends tracks not readily available elsewhere (although most are now appearing on the new Legacy reissues of his Columbia dates).

You can get this box set from BMG club for about $4.50/cd when you do the 12 for 1 enroll deal. The sponsor (5 free) / new enrollment (12 for 1) is even better, since you get 17 CDs for the price of 1. I bought the Herbie Hancock 4-CD clear box set thru BMG with this membership deal.
