What live music are you going to see tonight?
ejp626 replied to mikeweil's topic in Live Shows & Festivals
If all goes well, I should be seeing Atomic in Vancouver on Sunday. -
Nice. I nabbed that for $8 myself a couple years back. Yeah, not the world's greatest score, but I thought Dusty would have it more in the $12-15 range. I had most of the sessions already, but I've never heard the first 6 tracks.
-
I was awfully surprised to see Sal Salvador Quintet & Quartet in the used bins at Dusty Groove. It appears to be the original Conn (and in good shape), not the new CDR Amazon is pushing. Only $9!
-
Don't think this is really going to be "my thing" exactly, but DG had the trombones LP for $2, so I figured why not...

Who puts $100 million in a savings account?
ejp626 replied to papsrus's topic in Miscellaneous - Non-Political
Well, speaking only from semi-personal experience, it is possible that since it is out-of-network (note the $2.75 ATM fee), this bank doesn't know the breakdown between savings, checking and investment accounts held at Mr. Tepper's actual bank. It wouldn't be nearly as surprising to have that pooled among three different account types and if the overdraft protection is linking all of them,* then it would look like it was all available. * Sometimes allowed. Other banks only allow overdraft between checking and savings. -
So someone asked about the pop/rock I was clearing off the shelves. I went ahead and scanned them, but I am not going to go into an elaborate pricing routine or condition checking. The only one with a special price is the 3 CD set 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields for $15. I was thinking for the rest - $2 for a standard CD, $1 for CD singles, and $5 for the 2 CD sets. If you buy a lot, I can do some discounting. Given the somewhat embarrassing nature of the music I bought in my early 20s (mostly), this list is coming down over the weekend. Various/Motown Elite 9000 Series by Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, etc.

Wow - that was fast. It's yours.

This UPC thing is pretty cool, but it is a little harder to coordinate to check condition, such as spinecuts and minor scratches to CDs. AFAIK, the only major problems to CDs are the Weston Blue Moses and the last couple of tracks on an Oscar Pettiford put out by Lonehill. And I will just trash those two I guess. I'm pretty sure these are all fine, but if there are problems, I will contact you and adjust price prior to sending anything out. The next (jazz) batch will be checked more carefully.

what two tracks are they? i have the old "onyx" lp and want to know what two tracks i´m missing: The last two: Lady Be Good Sweet Georgia Brown An Amazon reviewer reports they were recorded September 16, 1941 at Monroe's Uptown House w/ Ebenezer Paul on bass and Frankie Newton on trumpet. I can't check the veracity of this at the moment. Possibly/probably on the Storyville box? In any event, in the US, you can download the two tracks separately if you want to go that route.
-
I guess this goes here. In a roundabout way, I was listening to some of the tracks of Art playing in 1940/41 that are on the HighNote CD God is in the House. Originally on LP, two tracks were added to the CD. These two tracks may be the highlights of the disc actually, so I was glad I passed on the LP over at DG the other day.
-
Apparently Strozier's on Boss Sounds as well. Currently available as a used LP from DG or Amazon mp3s: http://www.amazon.com/Boss-Sounds-Shelly-Shellys-Manne-Hole/dp/B00122FTW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309370305&sr=8-1 I think I'll order the mp3s.
-
Worked for me. Thanks!
-
Take it for what it's worth, but this reviewer claims the track isn't from 1975 (there are 3 tracks from a March 1975 Harold Land session issued a few places including inevitably Lonehille (1975 Garden State Jam Sessions)).
-
Thanks, Jim. If those sources don't give more info it's probably because there ain't. F I have a twofer CD with this on it (probably Collectables) and it might turn up. However, I am pretty sure there is no real info listed.

I did like Snurdy McGurdy, but that's pretty much it. I am done with free jazz. I don't enjoy listening to it; in fact, I find it a chore. I've tried on and off for years, but now I am through. From the clips on Amazon I can already tell this is not something I would like, despite the presence of Iyer.

I'm feeling like I was snookered. I ordered what looked like a relatively interesting documentary on Darwin from Netflix -- Darwin: The Voyage That Shook the World -- and it turns out it is from a group trying to undermine Darwin. I decided to watch anyway as there were some interesting scenes recreating the voyage of the Beagle. I think most of the scientific talking heads were reasonably balanced and were recruited to focus on the minor flaws where Darwin had things wrong, but then they weren't allowed to discuss how later scientists had improved the theory of evolution. But then sure enough, some guy comes on and starts talking about the eye , as if the structure of the eye was really so miraculous that the mere existence of eyes really "proved" the existence of a higher being . Reminds me more than a little of Douglas Adams' takedown of theologically-minded philosophers in HGTTG. (There it was the Babel-fish that was so perfect that it proved the existence of a higher power.) As long as I am rambling, just about the only use of God in pop culture that I thought was pretty cool was the episode of Futurama where Bender meets God (Godfellas). That was a great episode -- one my favorites. I highly recommend it. Ok, back to the original rant. It seems comments have been disabled (again) on Netflix, or I would go and give this documentary a poor ranking. Oh well. Live and learn.

I've been transferred stuff from several portable hard drives onto a new hard drive bought solely to back up music. Still have a long way to go, but most of the core stuff is secure now -- or at least saved in a couple of places. Anyway, revisiting some old favorites. "Work" performed by Chris Spedding & Peter Frampton from Side 4 of the double LP "That's The Way I Feel Now - A Tribute to Thelonious Monk" And now "Walk Spirit, Talk Spirit" which is Side 4 of McCoy Tyner's Enlightenment LP.
-
Drat! Wish I'd copied and pasted this list last night when the whole thing was up! Yeah, I guess I could have warned you it was an overnight special only. Anyway, they will all be posted soon enough. A few more: HOLD 8 Red Mitchell Red Mitchell (Bethlehem) w/ Hampton Hawes and Conte Candoli

So these are on the way over the next few days for the true shopaholics who want a leg-up on the sale : 3448967141423 025218523325 025218520027 ... Ok, I'm still working away at these. More soon!

Ok, this is more of a taster, but I will be out much of the afternoon, and I said some things will be listed this weekend. As before, 3+ CDs gets you free shipping to the US. 5+ gets 10% off the order. If a CD is marked with a *, then it is free with one other CD purchase (but does not count towards the 3 or 5 totals). And for a total tease, in the next post, I will put down all the UPCs I am working through. While there is still some efficiency, I still need to check condition (and price them) to avoid problems down the road. As ever, thanks for looking! HOLD 7 Eric Alexander Prime Time (W/Dvd) (High Note) very light scratch towards outside of playing area, not affecting play; DVD looks mint HOLD 6 Clarke-Boland Big Band All Smiles CD in very good condition with liner notes; however the mini-LP slipcase is not included. HOLD 6 Clarke-Boland Big Band More Smiles CD in very good condition with liner notes; however the mini-LP slipcase is not included. HOLD 8 Harold Mabern The Leading Man (Sony) This has 10 tracks with nearly all of the DIW version of Leading Man, along with several tracks from Lookin on the Bright Side. Hole in UPC. HOLD 8 Sonny Rollins & The Big Brass (Verve) digipack -- glue holding CD tray in place slipping and tray starting to come loose HOLD 9 Archie Shepp Live in San Francisco (Impulse) digipack Sticker residue on digipack; mark through UPC HOLD 4 McCoy Tyner Reaching Fourth (Impulse) minor marks on CD not affecting play Consolidated

Whatever you just said, I'm in! As crazy as it was to learn about the remake of The Color Purple, I wish the poster had said A Lighter Shade of Purple. That would have been more amusing to me.
-
So I'm seeing the Costa Memorial Concert CD pop up in a few places, though currently out of stock at DG. Is it worth tracking down? From what I gather, side B has a group led by Coleman Hawkins, but I don't know if this appeared elsewhere. Thanks.
-
Sorry - another inventory slip. I'll go fix that. The Chico is on its way to you. Yes, most of the Heath's are still available and even a few Teddy Edwards still.
-
I'll probably pull together all the box sets into one place. For now, this is what I can recall. At the moment, I have the following Mosaic Selects $30 Andrew Hill solo HOLD $30 Johnny Richards HOLD $35 Art Pepper Select $20 Art Pepper Hollywood All-star Sessions (played once) $40 Dexter Gordon Live at the Montmartre Jazzhus (3 Black Lion CDs - Dexter in Copenhagen, 1967)

Well, I was thinking more: but ok.
