JSngry Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 jimmy rainey trio w/ sonny clark on Xanadu- 1954 recordings, is this worth getting for $4.98+ 20% off coupon Hell yeah. Quote
JohnS Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 These are the ones from French Vogue? If so definitely recommended. Quote
fasstrack Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 whats jimmy rainey like. Jimmy Raney (note correct spelling) is a master. This is a beautiful CD that was made coming off a tour so the group was tight. Jimmy, Sonny, Red Mitchell and co. play beautifully. Gosta Theselius on tenor, new to me, is added for a few things. Jimmy was a wonderful composer also and is well-represented here by his "Invention". Sonny's trio feature is Once in a While. In other words, yes. Grab this. Quote
Dave James Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 At a total cost of $3.87, how is it possible to go wrong? Even if it sucked (and it doesn't) you'd be out the cost of another steak sandwich. Read my lips: "GO FOR IT." Up over and out. Quote
.:.impossible Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 How could you not get it for that price. I can't even buy a sammich around here for that! Quote

It's called Together! Jimmy Raney and Sonny Clark (plus Red Mitchell and Bobby White/ above-mentioned tenor and another drummer on two tracks). Quote

fasstrack Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Is an admission of "psychotic" next? No, but I might charge admission to have people see me act psychotic. I'd throw in a set of silverware too if you ask me nice. What's it worth to yiz? Quote

fasstrack Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 (edited) Getting back to the original theme it really amazes me how there's so much music, often great or near-great, that is practically being given away---and few want it. So many new releases for close to $20 I wouldn't bother with because I know they're over-hyped and smell a rat immediately. But it's my gain, I figure. I just bought this beautiful Warren Vache with the Scottish (string) Ensemble CD (Don't Look Back, Arbor), a real off-the-beaten track labor of love for Vache, the string players, arrangers (the great) Bill Finegan, James Chirillo, and Alan Barnes. Price? $6 and change on amazon.com. James (a terrific veteran guitarist and great writer and one of my close buddies) played it for me in his home and there was no way I was not going to not own something so special and beautiful. To my personal delight it was to be had for a song plus postage. To my great consternation art on this level is going at bargain basement prices. I guess that's always the way it's been, though. Van Gogh, it is said, never sold a painting in his life. Edited June 24, 2006 by fasstrack Quote
BFrank Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 FWIW, eMusic has 3 of Raney's Xanadu albums: Solo The Influence Live in Tokyo So, for $0.25 or less per song (depending on your plan), it's even cheaper than the CD. Quote
T.D. Posted June 24, 2006 Report Posted June 24, 2006 Besides the Clark/Raney "Together", a handful of other Xanadu discs have been showing up, in quantity, at low prices on eBay and Amazon Marketplace (maybe also at the source the OP referred to?). I noticed Dolo Coker "California Hard" and Dexter Gordon "True Blue". Quote
