Got the CDs Saturday, thanks!

Really $25 on the Sam Rivers, or are you missing a 1?

I've noticed that JazzLoft claims they stock the John Patton and Dizzy Reece Selects. Might be worth checking out if you missed these.

Wait, I spoke too soon! Freddie Redd @ $350, $117 per LP ($123 w/ shipping)! Just nuts.

I would say so. If you've heard him work with Braxton, you should know what to expect. I for one could not recommend Max Nagl's Big Four and Theo Jorgensmann's To Ornette: Hybrid Identity enough. And of course McPhee's Oleo and Ortega's New Dance. All $6.26.

There's a Stan Getz/Jimmy Raney that has this beat: $299, $99.33 per disc.

Any news on the Lucky Thompson Select (or any others)?

CDs and vinyl. I don't use mp3 at all.

PM Sent on: Jazz Workshop the Arrangers RCA 7 Hal McKusick, John Carisi, Rod Levitt Masters of Classic Jazz Swing Greats Soundies 5 2-cd with Eddie Heywood, Ben Webster, Pete Brown, Red Norvo, Stuff Smith 1940s Burns, Ralph Bijou OJC 6

Indeed a good price! I can't recommend it enough, really a jewel of the series ...

RIP. I will spin At Judson Hall today.

People always have to oversell stuff. Obviously they're all legends and masters, so why try to qualify it in some pointless, breathless way?

Seems to be "a history of jazz on Columbia in the LP era", or like, a sampler of Columbia's diverse roster of jazz legends. Of course, there are the RCA titles mixed in ...

Earlier today: Barnaby Promo, different (superior, I think) art Wonderful!

I guess it's better than the $100 the guy on Amazon wants. Strange to think of a mere OJC being "worth" so much.

Dusty Groove currently has this in stock for $34.99 http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=5d54vbjw29&ref=browse.php&refQ=cat%3D5%26amp;format%3Dcd%26amp;new_status%3Dused%26amp;page%3D1

Yes, the increasing presence of cut outs and budget imports in what few stores remain is indeed sad and infuriating. There is an FYE here--literally the only place to buy music in town-- that has nothing but terrible Euro budget titles in their miniscule jazz section. The rest of the store isn't any better ... mostly cheesy rock cut-outs from the 90s and early 00s. At least Lou's is asking a reasonable price for cassettes! As they've disappeared, I've noticed people pricing them for what I feel are absurd amounts. Anything over a dollar is robbery, if you ask me. In fact, there's an ebay seller that is hawking many (admittedly obscure or OOP) jazz tapes for $20 or more. Please.

Yes, that's what I mean. I have the Everest Jazz Immortal, but I'd like to know all there is.

Gonna make my way through six sides of the Columbia Basic Library of Great Jazz. A mixture of the familiar and some more obscure stuff.

Thanks for the link. I've always had trouble untangling pre-Blue Note Monk appearances.

I passed up that Bix & Tram one a couple months ago and to my dying day I will never know why. It was beat up, but was also only $6. Hmph.

I'll say it again, someone buy it!!

I highly recommend the Ran Blake, which is OOP.

Anthony Braxton and Stuart Gilmour doing a soprano/piano duet on "Rosetta" from 14 Compositions (Traditional) 1996. What a wonderful and singular album in the man's discography! It starts out in a very polite mode before Anthony rips it apart like only he can. When he comes back to the head (on a dime!) he goes back to playing straight, but laces it with out-phrasing. Love it.
