Well, you can't go wrong with Giant Steps, can you? Especially for a fiver! Have you tried Manchester's Vinyl Exchange? Hundreds of used jazz CDs there, despite the store's name! (Welcome to the board, by the way.) Hello Bill, I've never bought jazz CDs at Vinyl Exchange - haven't been in there for years. I very rarely venture into Manchester these days, used to go about once a month when Decoy was still open. So Vinyl Exchange has a good selection then? Richard

In a rare visit to what was once a Virgin Megastore (when did Virgin sell out?), I picked up "Giant Steps" for a fiver. It's a record I've been meaning to buy for about 13 years. On the one hand I'm glad I waited, as I'd have paid about fifteen quid for this 13 years ago.

Hello Scott, thanks for the welcome.

As a new member, I like the idea of this thread. Shame that it seems to have died a bit of a death, so I'll offer the RVG of Don Cherry's "Symphony For Improvisers" to try and get it going again.

PM sent, thanks very much.
