They did one of these for Miles' Prestige recordings http://www.amazon.com/All-Miles-Prestige-Albums-Davis/dp/B0035KGWRC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1279566802&sr=1-1 This one, however, interests me greatly! I have held off on buying many Monk Riversides 'cause I want the old box set, which of course, is not cheap.

Yeah, I suppose I meant in general. Thanks for the heads up.

Yep, same on Amazon. On some less obscure things they get wise and price it as an album, but on a lot of jazz records they charge by the track, which can end up being very little.

I passed the Quebec/Hardee up a couple months ago for $20. I don't think I'll ever stop kicking myself for that. Stupid, stupid.

I'll have to check this out. I have an Atlantic sampler which includes "Daphne" and it's wonderful.

Great, thanks!

Any sessions from the set that are out on CD that you guys might recommend?

A steal at about $10 for the pair, methinks.

I found this from an Amazon user review. It made me chuckle "To say that Lester Young's best work was complete by the early 40's is ridiculous. This is a statement made by a person who clearly knows the subject very little. Mr. Pekar probably read a few reviews and then decided to write his own - without examining the body of work. Dimwit!"

I've actually considered bumping it up to my #1 for next month, in leiu of the other rather uinspiring titles I have on there. I think I just may do that.

OK, nevermind. It's off Amazon again.

There's a Carter/Bradford on ebay right now. I wonder how much someone who can't wait a few more weeks is willing to pay ...

A sad day indeed. RIP.

Well, why not. I'll take #81 in December. PM sent.

Yeah, I've been looking for it for a while. Glad I could find the original LP!

A bit of a Hat Hut spree, though with a modest total, as all titles were discounted/cut-out: Plus:

Clifford Brown Memorial Album (Blue Note) with Lou Donaldson, Elmo Hope, Gigi Gryce, Percy Heath, PJJ, Charlie Rouse, John Lewis, and Art Blakey.

People do that sometimes, for utterly unknown reasons. Possibly a computer pricing program glitch? The Andrew Hill (16) and Gerry Mulligan sets are also often priced this way by secondhand sellers.

Buck Clayton - The Hucklebuck/Robbin's Nest original Columbia LP, $2 The Columbia Library of Classic Jazz box, $6

Bird/The Savoy Recordings (Master Takes) Miles, Diz, Bud, Max, Duke, Tommy Potter, Curley Russell, John Lewis, Nelson Boyd, and Tiny Grimes/Clyde Hart/'Doc' West/Jimmy Butts.

But does a Dentyne play 78s?

Thanks. I have no problem buying second-hand either, I would just be interested to hear some good brand names.

Jimmy Rowles - Mosaic Select 19: Pacific Jazz Piano Trios with Clare Fischer, Dick Twardzik, Russ F\reeman, Shelly Manne, Red Mitchell, Joe Mondragon, Monty Budwig, Carson Smith, Peter Littman, Mel Lewis, Ben Tucker, Nick Fatool, Gary Peacock, Ralph Pena, Albert Stinson and a couple others. Beat to the punch, but I expanded the options ... a bit ...

Wait, I knew I was wrong about Ralph Pena on The Easy Way. It was Ray Brown.

Jimmy Giuffre - The Easy Way with Jim Hall and Ralph Pena.
