Earlier this week I spent a couple hours at the Berkeley Amoeba and picked up a brand new Good Time Jazz title (The Famous Castle Jazz Band In Stereo) that's not even available used on Amazon for 8 bucks, and 18 or so Blues and Rhythm Classics titles for 5 bucks a pop. Compared to the Half Price Books and Cheapo locations in the Twin Cities, Amoeba's prices are damned fine.

18 Classics R&B titles for $5 each! That's a great score.

I know! Brand new and shrink-wrapped, too. For whatever reason, they're in much less demand than the jazz classics series.

Can speak up for three of those. The Parker is great - very well recorded for a live date - and there's a fascinating contrast between Sir Charles Thompson, late in his career, and Red Garland, early in his. The Blue Mitchell date is very nice and it's so good to hear a late example of Victor Feldman's fabulous piano! Many have said this before me, but Roots and Herbs is a remarkably good Messengers album to have seen the light of day so late. :tup

Can't believe Roots and Herbs sat in the can all that time. What a great date! Haven't spun the Parker yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
