What music did you buy today?

[thomastreichler]

found a goldmine of used and new (shrink-wrapped) Chronological Classics at a used store... ouch ouch ouch... about four metres of discs!

took the plunge for most of the late 30s Ellingtons I still missed (one they didn't have, "1940"), the second part of the Basies (again I still miss one, "1941"), and then ten or eleven Satchmos (1929-1946, I had 1930-31 already), covering the RCA and Deccas following the Hot Fives, two Chick Webbs, the Buster Bailey, the Jabbo Smith, the first Stuff Smith, the first Dizzy Gillespie, two Andy Kirk's (had one, I think that makes for the three earliest ones), and a couple of others.

Is this used store in Zurich? If so, would you mind to disclose the name and location of this store? Thanks.

He he, should I?

As I won't be able to buy all I want anyway, yes of course! It's Silverdisc (Limmatstrasse, Tramhaltestelle Dammweg, eins vor Escher-Wyss-Platz). Most of the discs are not displayed but the guy there let me check them myself in their backoffice. Cost is 14 CHF per disc - not that cheap, but good enough, considering they're new or almost new (one had some writing in the CD list inside the booklet, though... doesn't bother me too much, but if it bothers you you might want to check thoroughly.

The earlier 6 Basie discs are by the way still available from Abeillemusique for 25 euro... just sent in an order there, myself, though I have all of that music already on various CDs and CDRs... now I miss said 1941 volume plus the Neatworks.

Just in case: what I remember is: large chunks of Ellington, Calloway, Krupa, Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson (I think I'll rather go for the Heps there, if I ever get them all... I have the Billie Holiday box, so I have many of those sides already). It's pure overkill, but you're bound to find some great stuff there, I'm sure! And make sure you also check the displayed discs, some Classics are in there, they just stock up whenever some other discs are sold and the have more space in their display shelves.

Thanks very much. I appreciate your unselfish attitude.

The fine-print was too fine-printed, thus it did not appear on my computer screen. Just out of curiosity: Why do you assume that I am wealthier than you?

Teddy Wilson (I think I'll rather go for the Heps there, if I ever get them all... I have the Billie Holiday box, so I have many of those sides already).

Someone reported in a thread I can't remember that the Hep site was down. I was planning on going for the Teddy Wilsons.

I read that, too - seems it's up again: http://www.hepjazz.com/

Oh good - just a temp glitch. Thanks.

Never mind! I took it not that seriously.

Never mind! I took it not that seriously.

I did hope (and think) so, but still taking a step back I felt stupid about posting that (it's pretty irrelevant anyway...)

Did you pass by the store already? You'll have to ask specifically, I assume (the one guy that was there still recognizes me although I usually drop by once a year only, but he always pulls out piles of stuff not displayed... or just say you heard about the Classics from someone...

I plan to pass by later this afternoon. They mention the classics on their website and encourage to ask for items not displayed. Will report back...

I tell you, it will be hard to control yourself once you'll stand in front of that shelf, I spent an hour there on Saturday, had my Penguin guide with me and some notes I took over the years...

Ordered some from JPC, all on sale:

Depart - Reloaded (ACT)

Joachim Kühn - the piano solo album (ACT)

Brubeck - Ret Hot & Cool or whatever it's called (Sony/Legacy)

and the NY Contemporary Five Storyville CD (wanted that one for a looooong time)

[mikelz777]

I'm overbuying yet again. These are in the pipeline from the Concord sale:

[mikelz777]

Some more miscellaneous buys from BMG freebies, B&N coupon and other internet finds:

My first Keith Jarrett via a BMG freebie. I thought I'd get a taste of Jarrett and see what all the fuss is about.

Just got this and have to say that this is excellent. If you're into electric blues/rock you should check this out.

Early Cannonball and Nat.

You've probably seen his artwork but have you heard his music? Interesting and very entertaining stuff. I found a good price on this one. Hope the seller doesn't burn me.

[mikelz777]

A handful from the Keepnews collection:

I didn't realize until after I bought them that I already owned the Evans CD. Looks like I'm buying too many, I can't even keep up. Gotta quit or my wife is going to skin me alive!

[paul secor]

Arrived today from the Concord sale:

Lock & Griff: Blues Up and Down; Live at Minton's; Tough Tenors - After the the Lock & Griff thread, I realized I only had one recording, & I had to make amends.

Hank Mobley: Messages

Mose Allison: Ramblin' with Mose, Local Color

Jaki Byard: On the Spot!

Moondog

James Moody: Moody's Mood for Blues

I hope I finally have all the OJCs I want/need, but probably not.

The Kirk I had already... I took the two following volumes!

As for Kirby, I was considering both the Classics and that 2CD set but instead got the Circle 1CD transcription disc - I've had no Kirby at all before and wasn't sure how much to get... the Swing Trumpet Kings I got from an Amazon Marketplace seller a while back (and the Eldridge album is of course in the Mosaic) - the Sweets/Clayton is fantastic! (The main reason I wanted to get it, as Sweets never really got the treatment he deserved from Verve... there was the VEE double, then the LPR, plus one album on this 3-on-2 set and one on the Webster 3-on-2 set... I haven't checked what else he did for Verve, but a box with all of this would be great!)

[BillF]

Lee Morgan, Delightfulee (Blue Note)

Two Morgan sessions from 1966: 1) with Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner Bob Cranshaw and Billy Higgins.

2) with orchestra playing Oliver Nelson arrangements.

As is so often the case, I bought this after hearing a track on the radio. Sonny Buxton played "Zambia" on his KCSM show on Saturday and Lee's opening phrase after Tyner's solo nearly blew me out of my chair! The album was a bit of a surprise with the very different big band sides, but at nearly 70 minutes with no alternative takes, it's unusually good value for a Blue Note album.

Various: Swing Trumpet Kings - Harry Edison, Buck Clayton, Red Allen, Roy Eldridge (Verve, 2 cd)

Nice find! All three sessions are wonderful. I had a difficult time tracking down that CD, I eventually found it a few years ago at an online Canadian store.

Bought yesterday:

Wayne Shorter --Soothsayer (RVG)

Johnny Smith--Moonlight in Vermont

Sam Rivers-- Fuschia Swing Song

Miles--Miles Ahead (this is a CD I've been intending to pick up for years, but for some reason, never got around to it. Maybe becasuse of mixed feelings about the other two collaborations; I like Porgy/Bess but I've never warmed to the Sketches in Spain session.)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

When I got home yesterday, found the postman had delivered my CD Baby order - YAY!

Very nice evening's listening!
