Big Wheel Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Just noticed that the Conns are real cheap on Amazon right now. prizes seem to go up and down... but these discs are around for 10 $ these days, yes. Actually, $7.50 each if you get two. I just ordered a bunch of them plus some of the deleted titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 Got an email from True Blue today- A large number of superb titles from the Blue Note labels will go out of print by the end of this year, including a number of CDs from the RVG and Connoisseur Series. So you don't miss out on albums that you have been intending to purchase, here is a list of the casualties of 2008. We don't know the exact quantities left on these items, so it's best to order sooner rather than later. To ease the squeeze, we have put a number of these titles on sale. RVGs ==== Art Blakey - Like Someone In Love Sonny Clark- Dial S For Sonny Joe Henderson - Our Thing Clifford Jordan & John Gilmore -Blowing In From Chicago Jackie McLean - Capuchan Swing Jackie McLean - Right Now! Blue Mitchell - Boss Horn Blue Mitchell - Down With It Hank Mobley - Hi Voltage Lee Morgan - The Rumproller Leo Parker - Let Me Tell You 'Bout It Bud Powell - Bud! The Amazing Bud Powell-Volume 3 Ike Quebec -Heavy Soul Horace Silver - In Pursuit Of The 27th Man Horace Silver - The Stylings Of Silver Jimmy Smith - The Sounds Of Jimmy Smith Cecil Taylor - Conquistador! CONNOISSEURs =========== Tina Brooks - Minor Move Tina Brooks - The Waiting Game Donald Byrd - The Transition Sessions (w/Doug Watkins) (2 CDs) Bobby Hutcherson - Now! Jackie McLean - Jacknife Sam Rivers - Fuchsia Swing Song Charlie Rouse - Bossa Nova Bacchanal Jack Wilson - Easterly Winds Larry Young - Mother Ship I thought the only albums on this list that I didn't already have were Like Someone In Love and Mother Ship. Turns out I've got Mother Ship after all. Whatta ya know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 The Jack Wilson is really swinging with McLean in great form. Worth it just for the photo in the booklet with what appears to be a very stoned Billy Higgins (and Cranshaw too for that matter!). Oh yeah! "Frank's Tune" is my favorite song from that set, but they're all tremendous. A picture of this album cover is next to the word UNDERRATED in the dictionary.

BruceH Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I put all the Brooks on my X-mas list. Here's hoping. I put Jacknife on there too for early Jack DeJohnette. All four Brooks albums are essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) I put all the Brooks on my X-mas list. Here's hoping. I put Jacknife on there too for early Jack DeJohnette. All four Brooks albums are essential. oh yeah definitely. I already have the True Blue RVG so I just need the other 3 HolyGhost, can you post that pic in this thread? I'd love to see that.

Big Al Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 As long as you're getting TRUE BLUE, get Freddie Hubbard's OPEN SESAME. It makes a perfect companion album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All four Brooks albums are essential. Yup, sure are. Yeah, you'll want to get 'em all eventually. Back to the Tracks has some very good McLean, while Minor Move has some great Morgan. Coles is OK on The Waiting Game, but still a very worthy session. Any Brooks is good in this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceH Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 As long as you're getting TRUE BLUE, get Freddie Hubbard's OPEN SESAME. It makes a perfect companion album. God yes!!! That's absolutely true; Brooks plays on the album and it includes two Brooks originals that aren't on any of his "leader" albums. Almost like having another Tina Brooks album.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I knew this was coming but it's still a shock to see it. All those Lee Morgan titles? Ouch. When all this is done, what *is* in print will likely be a very small list. I wonder if Amazon's "on demand" program is about to expand?

ghost of miles Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah, I just got this e-mail as well--what a bloodbath! Glad that I already have nearly everything that I would want on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewHill Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Holy Crap! Time to buy, buy buy! I mean, that first list was managable, and I put everything I don't have and want on my Christmas list, but man, I don't own like 15 or so titles that I want from that second list.

blind-blake Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks. The only one I might be interested in that I haven't already got is the Silver, 27th man album. Anyone got any views on that? MG It's excellent. You, of all people, would love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelz777 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm going to have to pick up the Lee Morgan Lighthouse set (currently $20.00 at J&R) and the Booker Little 4 and Max Roach which I didn't see on the list but was among those listed in the link from the email I got. I'm trying to keep the buying down so I'll have to limit myself to these for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
