ran into two charly reissues of vee-jay albums at 4,99 each at the local store, a twofer of Lee Morgan's Vee-Jay albums and the Louis Hayes / Yusef Lateef album (that one with alternate takes)

That Hayes is a good one!

Scored lucky at a used music store on the way home from work:

Eugen Cicero - Swinging the Classics on MPS (3CD)

Art Blakey - Live at Club St. Germain 1958 (2CD)

Clayton / Tate - Buck & Buddy (OJC)

And all that for roughly 25 euro-zlotys! :excited:

And upon arriving home, the latest CDU package was waiting, as well (Art Pepper's "The Way It Was" and "Smack Up" plus the JSP Eddie Lang 4CD box)

Not a bad day... (except for the wasted 9 hours spent at work before) :ph34r:

just picked up two packages from the mailbox - three more OJCs:

Clifford Jordan "Bearcat" & Johnny Griffin "Do Nothing 'Til You Hear From Me" from Newbury's and the first of two from DVDlegacy (via Priceminister - finally!), "Jackie McLean & Co." Now waiting for the Charles McPherson w/Carmell Jones from the same DVDlegacy/Priceminister order... and of course for the big Mosaic package with the Hodges and Prima/Manone!

Broke down and pre-ordered Miles from India and Very Saxy from CD Universe (they have the best price by far on Miles from India)

Some odds and ends from Amazon marketplace and eBay:

Illinois Jacquet: The Soul Explosion

Jack McDuff: Screaming

Willis Jackson: Soul Night Alive

Milt Jackson: Night Mist

Nik Bartsch: Holon

Toumani Diabate: The Mande Variations

I should like all of these but am the most interested in hearing the last two.

This weekend I hope to pick up Horace Silver and Jimmy Smith CDs from a local shop (supposed to be on hold but it doesn't always work out).

Fleetwood Mac - Complete Blue Horizon Sessions 1967-1969

I combined my 10% member discount with a 20% coupon code for Barnes & Noble online to get a pretty nice deal on this 6-CD set. This version of Fleetwood Mac has nothing to do with the pop/rock most people are familiar with. (Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham weren't yet part of the group.) This is edgy blues lead primarily by Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie on drums and bass. I was in the record store the other day as they were playing some Cream and I got a yearning for some British blues.

Three very nice CDs turned up from Ghana lunchtime

They're all by HipLife rapper Tic-tac

tic%20tac%20-%20masom.JPG

Masom was his first, in 2001

tic%20tac%20-%20masem.JPG

Masem was his second, in 2002

Wope was his fourth, in 2004.

Interesting to get three at once. He developed away from his primary influence, Busta Rhymes, towards a much more Ghanaian style by 2004. I think I'll get a few more of his if (I can find them) in a while.

Ron Blake's latest, Shayari

Let me know what you think of that, I found it to be well played and very nice sounding yet its still not grabbing me. I think it may be one of those its me not the record kind of thing.

Latest purchase, need more classical in my collection. I really like the other Michelangeli I own.

I finally got VISA and I decided to buy *some* cds :)

i feel my first credit card is coming nearer as well, always avioded one for reasons of (lack of) self-control...

while in britain i bought much more diverse stuff than i usually buy, guess because there was a half-decent brick and mortar store (Fopp) and buying there always leads to other results, and there was this nice sale of whatmusic albums at 4 pounds...

23 pounds well spent on

Jacques & Micheline Pelzer - Song for Rene

Open Sky Unit - Open Sky Unit

Vitor Assis Brasil - Tajeto (the winner of the bunch so far)

The very best of Ethiopiques (2CD)

Beth Orton - Central Reservation (first cd of pop music i bought in quite some time; i used to really like "Stars all seem to weep", smoother than i had remembered but some nice songs)

7 pounds i should maybe have avoided

Deodato - Prelude

Deodato 2

Deodato/Airto in Concert (haven't listen to most of the three so far)

Paulo Moura Hepteto - Fibra
