vibes Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Although most of the CD's are comps, it's a pretty good deal. Bluebird Jazz Sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Several Gil Scott-Heron discs there (full albums, not just comps), and a couple significant Ellington discs too (also not comps). A few Lonnie Liston Smith titles, and Sonny Rollins discs too - also not comps. Don't overlook pages "11-17", be sure to hit the double ">>" button, after you look through pages 1-10. Also, from the fine print... "Qualifying purchase transaction must be made between 12:01 a.m (CT) 7/20/03 and 11:59 p.m. (CT) 8/9/03. Limit: 3 per title per customer. No dealers." But since shipping is free, you can just get three for yourself, and have your neighbor get another three, and your coworker get another three -- at not extra shipping costs.

Chuck Nessa Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Thanks, I ordered 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Yeah, I ordered 6 and had no problem doing so to my one address. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Are these the latest domestic releases of Sonny Meets Hawk and Far East Suite? I don't do Japan or gold discs but would like the best sound possible given those constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 I checked their release date with that of the Sonny Meets Hawk elsewhere, and if it is correct, it's the latest domestic remaster. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Thanks Lon! Any other highly recommended titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeway Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I think the restriction is 3 or more of any one title. This is to keep some dealer or wholesaler from exhausting the stock. I ordered 7 different titles with no problem. Some good stuff, and a super bargain indeed. Thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Oh, by bad. It does say "three per title per customer". Well then, break out the plastic!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I was hoping that the Artie Shaw "Self Portrait" box would be on sale. No go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjluke68 Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 I picked up the Artie Shaw/Gramercy Five, the Rollins/Hawkins disc, the Benny Goodman/Harry James Years CD and a Jelly Roll Morton CD. All 4 plus tax was $21.20 - that's equal to one CD if I went to Sam Goody at the mall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Sonny Meets Hawk Ellington's Far East Suite Complete Artie Shaw Gramercy 5 Desmond's Take Ten AND Bossa Antigua Diminuendo, Crescendo, and Blues (by a conglomerate of jazz greats callin' themselves the C-Jam All-Stars!)

Jim Alfredson Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Just picked up 8 myself. Great deal! Thanks vibes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibes Posted July 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Glad I could help a few people out. I picked up 4 myself: Mulligan/Desmond - Two of a Mind (older version, unfortunately) Paul Gonsalves - Ellingtonia Moods and Blues Johnny Hodges/Wild Bill Davis - In Atlantic City C-Jam All-Stars - Diminuendo, Crescendo and Blues Sometimes working for a corporate monster does have its advantages!

Jim Alfredson Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I picked up the Hodges/Davis date too and they said it was backordered. Anyone else get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibes Posted July 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I got that message too, but at least they shipped the other three I ordered right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 I just bought that Hodges/Davis music on LP for $2 last weekend. Haven't spun it yet, though... Not sure where I'm goin' w/ this. I did order another Hodges ("Passion Flower") from Bestbuy, though, and a Gonsalves. Too good of a deal to pass up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIS Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Thanks BUT . . . When I tried to check out from this site, I became impossibly ensnared. Wouldn't accept my credit card number, asked for another number, entered a new number, kept reverting back to the first number, reentered new number again, wouldn't accept either as they has already been entered. Checkout Time Elapsed: 50 min. End Result: I gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 YES-I think that their checkout stage is fucked, and encourage you by all means call the #(800.Bestbuy). I had the same type of issues with the site, but the land-line option was quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Got six of 'em today. Damn, that was fast! Now I got some good listening for the ride to and from the gig tonight and tomorrow! Woot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzkrow Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well, $50 poorer- but 10 cds richer. Got 4 out of my first 5- Waiting on the Hodges/Davis. Service was so good that I ordered the other 5 tonite. One will be backordered, I'm sure-The Gramercy 5 (Artie Shaw). Such a deal.....

Checkout Time Elapsed: 50 min. End Result: I gave up. Were you trying to ship the CD's to an address different from your billing address? My order got cancelled because "my information couldn't be verified." I was trying to ship the CD's to my work address (which, strangely enough, is Best Buy Corporate Headquarters ), but when I went back and reordered and tried to send everything to my billing address, then the order went through fine. Perhaps that was the problem? The website is a little quirky, whatever the case. The website was totally redone a few weeks ago, and although it has some nice features, in typical Best Buy fashion it was put up before all the bugs were worked out.

Guest mary mcgoon Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Vibes- thanks for the alert. I had a lot of the same problems with the website, called customer service and ended up ordering over the phone. The phone guy was very helpful, I must say. The C-jam All Stars and the Hodges / Davis are backordered. The Gonsalves should be showing up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 (edited) Just out of curiosity, are any of those Desmond/Hall sessions (Easy Living, Take Ten, Bossa Antigua) on the OOP Mosaic box?
