Can't top that... Lunchtime spin: Crown Hate Ruin - Until the Eagle Grins - (Dischord)

Yeah, Alan gets some nice dead stock in on occasion - I've got a few sealed rarities from the Jazz Loft as well as some nice in-print but hard to find titles.

As for later/partially Afro-Cuban stuff, I really like the HARYOU Percussion Group record on ESP.

My friend and I were just talking about that set the other day.

I have to say, Greg, that this was a really fun review to write. Normally my tendency as a reviewer is toward avant-garde jazz and so forth. This was one CD that my girlfriend was probably glad I was writing up, for her ears' sake.

Must not post much! Probably a good thing for his own sanity!

Welcome. There are a few threads dealing with this subject already. Here's one: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...mp;hl=Blue+Note

Cramming in some sides before work, eh?

Also: Arnie Cheatham's Thing, reissued on Porter. And one that should be reissued: Leo Jones - Fire Engine & Crossover - (Mirrosonic)

Groundhogs - Blues Obituary - (Imperial)

I picked up a copy of James Spaulding's Brilliant Corners CD on Muse recently. Carter's in fine form here, with Marcus Miller & Kenny Washington also in the rhythm section. Miller's kind of florid for my taste normally, but he's not too distracting here and it's a pretty fiery date.

I'm going to vote against brown as much as I dig the design. Black is slimming, and brown ain't the new black as far as I can see.

Lunchtime spin: Sus & Jakob - The Last Vocalions - (no label) Communal hippie racket from Sweden. Nice!

Thursday night ECFA are playing at Beerland in Austin, of all places. Local free-bop quartet, this time using the rhythm section of Aaron and Stefan Gonzalez. It should be fun. And cheap!

Ach, I'm broke this month.

Real Ale Full Moon Pale Rye

Indeed. A fine man gone. I grew up well after the Cronkite age, but his voice is still familiar to me. RIP.

That's Ass-ology.

I'm a broke record addict & I review new discs, so for me there's always a slew of things to listen to. I basically just don't have time to listen to it all and digest it. Add that to a love for 60s/70s rock, punk, American steel-string guitar music, and sprechstimmung and you could say I have a problem. That said: I battle depression and in those bleak times, I find it hard to listen to ANYthing, even the hum of the A/C. That is the only time when I "tire" of music or need silence/freedom from unopened boxed sets.

Thanks. I only have the date with the Prestige Jazz Quartet and that's such a fine record...

Sorry to hear that, David. Clugston's getting a good deal, though!

Fred knows his shit, sometimes deals can be had and at others the prices are sky-high. My main difficulty with that place is their grading standard, or lack thereof.

Yep, I saw that one. About £250 I think. Not the greatest of sleeves, didn't check the vinyl. Still, just to even see a copy is amazing. It wasn't a keeper copy... I was told that Honest Jon's moved, but did not bother with it. I forgot the name of the other place around the corner that I visited - another "basement rarities" deal, with ringworn Muse LPs at insane prices!

Yeah, that's a nice article, Coley did well.
