Balanced the Dixieland with "The Blues featuring Ray Charles", a nice set of tunes on Hurrah Records, recorded in the fifties, judging by the couple of old rock 'n roll influenced tracks. But this is the Ray Charles I knew and loved, before he was HUGE. Nice stuff.

HURRAH seems to have been one of those tiny labels that came and went in a flash. No cover notes. No track list, except on the record itself. No list of personel, on the cover, or on the record itself. This was when Charles was still jazz and blues. Nice. His voice was remarkebly like Nat King Cole on "Can Anyone Ask For More?" Interesting.

Sunday morning - Wadada Leo Smith

Bobby Naughton - The Haunt - Otic

Wadada Leo Smith, Bobby Naughton and Perry Robinson - if you are a fan of the Jimmy Giuffre trio with Peacock and Bley, this LP should be of interest

Icy and odd LP.. Naughton doesn't get enough mention, and he's an interesting figure. My uncle was in the CMIF with him, and has a lot of interesting stories about that guy. Apparently was really, really into homemade explosives.

Mingus Plays Piano IMPULSE!, mono.

A lot of ideas of 'Black Saint' in here :tup

...and I may be wrong, but Mingus knew very well the Satie piano works... :w

I think I read somewhere that Mingus's knowledge of the classics was encyclopaedic.

Now spining:

'VSOP Mercury' box set - the Cannonball Adderley and Quincy Jones sides :tup

'Bethelehem's Best' (Bethlehem Records 3LP box set sampler with mainly mid 50s sessions - Shavers, Mariano, Chris Connor, Pettiford etc)

LIVE 8 and this thread  http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=17956  reminded me I have most of the Floyd's work on original pressing, included a rare mono first pressing of 'Saucerful of Secrets' :excited: , so... 'I will get a Pink Afternoon'   :eye:

At a recent vinyl fair I checked out there was a guy there selling copies of every Floyd LP in every international release (Argentinian first pressing 'Meddle' anyone?). He also had a great stack of boots. If I had had the storage space and $ it would have been worth making a bulk purchase offer. I did however pick up the German Columbia first pressing of 'Piper At The Gates of Dawn'.

Now playing 'Live at the Half Note' - Art Farmer Quartet Featuring Jim Hall (Atlantic mono original)

Land of the Midnight Sun - Al Di Meola Interesting *new* stuff, featuring a moog and some very interesting percussion.

BUT, the bigger story is that I picked up twenty-five albums today, MINT condition for a single dollar for each record.

The titles range all the way from three Jimmy Smiths to Kai Winding, to Getz, Eddie Harris, Ella Fitzgerald, Hank Jones, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Rob McConnell, Jimmy Reed, Moe Kauffman, Dave Brubeck, Jimmy Witherspoon, 1959 Monterey Jazz Festival......

I'm forgetting a couple or so, but ONE DOLLAR EACH. My heart was racing as I sped through the tons of records, just brought into a thrift shop, that sells everything from clothes to furniture, to whatever.

This is where I have found five of my JazzTones.

I'm stoked!!

wow !! now I'm GREEN :g

I still haven't come down. Usually I find one or two jazz titles in OK, but not pristine condition.

These are in new condition and as I flipped through them on the shelf there was another one after another one, after another one. WOW.

This source is a charity shop and their standard price for LPs is a dollar each.

It doesn't matter what the record is.

Everything from really crappy tripe to somebody's entire Jazz collection.

I have been going there for a couple of years and have also picked up my shelves there for cheap.

Don't ignore these places.

Although they have everybody's cast-off stuff, among those cast-offs are records. With talk of records making a comeback there is a little more traffic around them, but I show up early in the morning and it quite often pays off.

I have asked the manager to keep a lookout for JazzTones and she, sensing these are collectables, agreed to set any aside for me if I am willing to pay THREE DOLLARS per disc. I said OK. :D
