ghost of miles Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Decided to wander into one of our local shops today, and man!!! New: Milt Jackson, MEET MILT JACKSON ($7.99) Milt Jackson, ROLL 'EM, BAGS ($7.99)... these are the two Savoy CDs that contain the session with Wade Legge and Lucky Thompson. Used: Fats Waller, FATS WALLER IN LONDON ($3.99) Conte Candoli, SWEET SIMON ("used", but still in shrinkwrap) ($3.99) Charles Mingus, JAZZICAL MOODS ($3.99--NOT part of the Comp. Debut box) Just found the original "Music From Peter Gunn" as arranged and conducted by Henry Mancinni and reissued by Buddha. I've been looking for this for a while, and this copy was only $4.99...I used up a little remaining credit I still had, and the thing ended up costing me just two bucks. Nice! The lineups feature loads of jazz musicians, BTW, which makes sense as the eponymous PI was supposed to dig le Jazz West Coast. It's a really good one, Bruce. Is Buddha even still around? I was going to ask the label for several copies to offer during the recent Night Lights fund-drive, but I couldn't find them anywhere on the web... they were (are?) a BMG imprint. In any case, it may be heresy, but I think I prefer Mancini's versions to Shelly Manne's, much as like the Manne albums. The Mancini followup (MORE MUSIC FROM PETER GUNN) isn't as good, but if you find it cheap, worth picking up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ep1str0phy Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Billy Harper: Somalia One of his best, IMHO. Birth and Rebirth is also a good one. Seriously, though. I'm all over this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyJazz Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) I've had this album for many years on LP only. Finally it's on CD without having to get the Mosaic box. It's a wonderful session. Edited December 16, 2005 by MartyJazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinlps Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I need to repent... first month in years where CD purchases have exceeded LP's. Today's used CD lunch haul: Richard Holmes & Gene Ammons - Groovin' with Jug (just noticed it's Grovin' on the spine) Dexter Gordon - Dexter Rides Again Curtis Fuller - Bluesette Nat Adderley - That's Nat Played the Holmes & Ammons on the drive back to work... the more I buy, the more I realize how much I've been missing! Great, great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, great stuff. I've had "Groovin' wiv jug" for years and never noticed the spelling mistake on the spine 'til just now. A totally great album. Years ago, I was in Tower and they played one of those Curtis Fuller Savoy CDs which had a fantastic HONKING tenor solo from Benny Golson. I couldn't afford it just then, and then I forgot which Fuller album it was. Was it "Bluesette"? MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 My daughter gave me this, this morning, when we went over for lunch Not unexpected, as I'd arranged with the record shop to keep the copy by for her a fortnight ago. She also got me two record shop coffee mugs, to go with the t-shirt my wife got me last year. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Years ago, I was in Tower and they played one of those Curtis Fuller Savoy CDs which had a fantastic HONKING tenor solo from Benny Golson. I couldn't afford it just then, and then I forgot which Fuller album it was. Was it "Bluesette"? Could be............but it sounds to me like you might actually be talking about Yusef Lateef on 'Judyful' from the Fuller Sextet "Images" Savoy one? Coincidentally, I saw the Curtis Fuller Quintet last weekend w/Ronnie Matthews and Lou Hayes. It was Fuller's B'day and Freddy Cole stopped by to sing a couple of numbers, which was a real treat! After the show Hayes had a cd or two rattling around in his bag so I bought 'Dreamin of Cannonball' off him (he was a bit miffed that he had to pack up his own kit). So that then, was my last CD purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
