kh1958

I received the Stanley Turrentine set this Christmas.

The Best of Willis Jackson with Jack McDuff (Pretige, blue label)

Dave Brubeck--Time Out (Columbia six eyes) Lucha Moreno (Orfeon)

An order of two from dustygroove: Sun Ra--The Antique Blacks Thurman Barker--Rediscovered

In Dallas, the police have figured out how to make crime fall--they classify violent crimes as non-violent crimes and classify crimes as non-crimes. It's all in the definition.

Unfortunately, running across used Classics CDs in Dallas does not happen very often; I buy them whenever I can find them.

Charlie Shavers Quartet--Girl of My Dreams (Everest) Trio Los Panchos--Los Favoritos de Todo del Mundo (Columbia, six eyes)

Morris Nanton--Prelude (Prestige, blue label) Buddy Rich in Miami (Verve trumpet) Ornette Coleman--Ornette at 12 (Impulse, red and black)

This was a fabulous band that I heard live several times at the Caravan of Dreams (once backing up Ornette Coleman), and this is their best recording (out of two): VHCD 04132 Moffett Family Jazz Band/Magic Of Love

Dave Burrell, solo piano, at Sandaga Market. I thought this would be interesting, but it turned out to be fantastic. The first set consisted of two long Dave Burrell compositions, The Edge--an inside/outside piece with a very compelling melody at its center, followed by The Rag (which it was). I was really blown away by the first set. The second set was completely different consisting mostly of standards--Ellington (It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got that Swing), Strayhorn (Lush Life), Monk (Round Midnight), other standards (Autumn Leaves, You Go to My Head--the latter was the highlight of the second set), a Jelly Roll Morton piece. The second set was wonderful as well. Dave Burrell is clearly an underappreciated master pianist.

Red Garland--Soul Junction (Prestige mono, blue label)

$16 at Worlds Records, with free shipping over $25.

It took over a month to arrive, but finally it did and I'm very much enjoying listening to this set--thanks very much for the recommendation.

That's the amazon.com price. Click on the "new" link and you'll find the low price from an amazon seller.

Thanks, I'll have to track down a couple of her CDs.
