Enrico Pieranunzi - Live in Paris (Challenge, 2005) with Hein Van de Geyn & André "Dédé" Ceccarelli

Just now discovering The Good Place. Streaming it all on Hulu. Wonderful show!!!

From The Complete Fontana Albums CD boxset. Sound is terrific.

I have my CD/CDr collection on an excel spread sheet. That way I know I have a particular CD or CDr but still have to find it. Generally, I file by artist or by label but sometimes I have to hunt for a while.

Somebody recently posted this, so I dug it out. And while I was at it, Both the Corbett vs Dempsey reissues, not OGs. 😁

Cool. I looked up Pittner on discogs. He released 2 albums as leader, LP only to date. One with Takagi/Kako qt. personnel and the other with Kent Carter and French musicians. Both seem hard to find, no offers or recent sales on discogs.

I am not sure if the Los Angeles Jazz Institute (LAJI) CDs can be considered to be on a boutique label. The were issued in a limited quantity to members only and contained many unreleased sessions of West Coast jazz. The LAJI also released two box sets. In any case these CDs were West Coast jazz at its best. Would any of Boris Rose's many labels qualify as boutique or just unusual?

Very good tracks. Interesting how he played from the side of his mouth. Any other sax players that did this?

Stan Getz “Anniversary” Emarcy cd Stan Getz - tenor saxophone Kenny Barron - piano Rufus Reid - bass Victor Lewis - drums A great live jazz album recorded in Copenhagen, Denmark at the Jazzhaus Montmartre in 1987.

Medeski, Martin & Wood - It's a Jungle in Here (Gramavision, 1993) I bought this CD on the day that it came out. Then I played it so much that my wife got sick of hearing it. And, as good as MM&W's records are/were, they were even better in concert.

There's a Gene Shaw Argo CD that I can't find.

I love the instrumentals, but not so much the tracks with Ernie Andrews. His style is not really my cup of tea, he talks the lyrics more than sing them. This could have been one CD, IMHO.

Very cool. I am curious why the outliers in price -- is there a special edition of the Bird box?

One of the first box sets I ever bought. And I still love it!

Disc 1 That Booker Ervin record is terrific.

Gotcha. Finding great deals is fun.

I moved from TX to NJ in 2019, and then NJ to AZ in 2023. Both moves involved a moving companies, and relocating my music collection. In one of the moves at least one large box of CDs disappeared. I am assuming it accidentally stayed on the truck and wasn't offloaded at my new home. In both moves the truck was shared with other customer's boxes for their cross country moves too, and the shipping company puts moving stickers on the boxes that are color coded for each customer. But it seems like this opens you up to some level of risk, and that hit me. So either some other customer got a box of cds that they probably weren't interested in, or the box ended up left on the truck after the final delivery and was discarded. There are specific titles that I decide I want to listen to and can no longer find, but I didn't notice until well after the timeframe for making a claim had expired. Oh well.

Listening through this - I think I will sell it. Many raities, but when will I listen to all of this again? This probably is the third time I pulled zhis from the shelf since I bought it 40 years ago. https://www.discogs.com/release/11241299-Charlie-Parker-Live-And-Private-Recordings-In-Chronological-Order Now if this was the Pres bix ......
