Tom 1960

I recently started a thread on Savoy Records asking for peoples recommendations. It was a label I was sadly underweighted in. Thanks to all for the many great recommendations. I can now say, I have seriously bolstered that part of my collection. Now I'm asking for folks thoughts/favorites on the Bethlehem label. I own maybe 8 -10 titles at best but would like to add further. Your input as always is much appreciated.

Since I presently don't own any of the Storyville releases, where would one recommend a good place to start?

I just recently acquired some of his Savoy titles. IMO, they are superior to his Blue Note dates.

Happy Birthday, BFrank!

I will be holding off purchase of this set until I receive some feedback here on the forum. I don't imagine there will be anything negative to say. I plan on getting this set as a Christmas present to myself. Tip money from my customers on my mail route.

I sort of remember a few folks here mentioning they were fans. A resident of my former hometown of Kingston, New York has passed. http://pitchfork.com/news/70047-pauline-oliveros-dead-at-84/

Any pictures, Dave?

Very sad. That sucks.

Came across this on Facebook and Jazz Times website. http://jazztimes.com/articles/172684-mose-allison-dies-at-89

Oh yes. Very aware of the upcoming Mosaic which is why I am restricting my potential purchases on Savoy to post 1950.

I may have to get that. Very exciting stuff.

I'm not certain how this all pans out? I recently picked up a decent number of Savoy releases and would love to add more to the collection. For some reason unexplainable, I have ignored this label. Makes no sense looking back at this now. PM me if there are some titles you might be willing to part with. Perhaps we can work out something. Thanks.

I recently picked up a bunch of Savoy titles from a fellow board member and really enjoying what I am hearing. This is a label for whatever reason I was seriously underweighted in. I am really enjoying what I am hearing. Thank you Kevin Bresnahan!

Symphony 5 and 6

Starting in reverse order with Symphony # 8 and the Grand Duo. I've had this on my watch list for well over a year. At one time the asking price was in the $40 range for a used copy. Scooped this last week for $11 and change. I think I made out well on this.

Happy birthday. GA!

Hope you had a great birthday, John!

Happy Birthday, TD!

Thanks David. I figured the pickings are very slim these days. I happened to see online there are a few stores in San Diego but it doesn't look promising. Thought it was worth the effort. Boy, I remember the glory days of Tower Records. I spent a lot of time there on Sports Arena Boulevard.

Hey guys I'll be in San Diego in about 2 weeks. Any chance there are any music stores CD stores left in San Diego?

Dan, You can add the Dexter Gordon with Hampton Hawes/Berlin 2'nd copy. That sounds like an interesting match up.

Monk - Bremen '66 Jimmy Heath w/ Pepper Adams, Dorham '65 Miles Davis w/George Coleman '63 Mike LeDonne w / Eric Alexander@ Smoke Lucky Thompson/Barney Wilen '60 Lighthouse All Stars '57 Johnny Griffin w/Kenny Drew '69 Horace Silver w/Ralph Moore '81 Griifin/Mobley Quintet '68 Donald Byrd '58 Basie w/Rushing '63 Brown - Roach '55

Bill, I can't imagine there would be much left on that list. But you never know so why not go ahead and send me that list thank you. Tom
