jacknife Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Anyone take advantage of the Concord Jazz titles on sale at B&N for $3.99 each? I picked up a few, Chick Corea, Scott Hamilton, Jack McDuff. Since my jazz knowledge is rather limited, I didn't recognize many of the titles. Any recomendations? I might have to go back for more!

P.D. Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Ruby Braff, Jessica Williams and any Soprano Summit you can find... not of these are Bop or Hardbop, though Jessica can play some all encompassing piano.. but for $4 a piece they're woth a try.

Alexander Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I was going to do a post on this very subject. Many stores (including mine) will be getting in more of these CDs (the sale is up through April), so you might want to consider going back to see if any new titles have shown up. We did this sale last year too, and between the two years I must have added more than 50 CDs to my collection! In the last two weeks, I've picked up CDs by the following: Chick Corea Gary Burton Allen Farnham (with Joe Lovano!) David Frishberg Scott Hamilton Andy LaVerne Susannah McCorkle Walter Norris (I've gotten four of his CDs, one with Joe Henderson) Chris Potter (two of these) Steve Wilson Jesse Davis Bruce Forman John Pattitucci Shelly Manne Victor Feldman All are at the very least good, and most have been excellent. Certainly more than worth a four dollar investment! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I was in Colorado Springs last weekend and picked up cd's by Louie Bellson,Mongo Santamaria and the Sweet Baby Blues Band. I passed on cds by Kenny Burrell and the LA 4 and I'll probably kick myself for it later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Vitus Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I made this a chance to get better acquainted with a couple of musicians I was only familiar with from in-flight audio programs: Scott Hamilton and Ken Peplowski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I've been good and have only picked up about 6 or 7 so far, though I did buy about 25 of them during the sale last year. Glad to hear that they're restocking because the selection this year hasn't been as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacknife Posted March 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I went back for more, at 4 bucks a shot, it's a great opportunity to explore stuff I've never heard of! Picked up: Louie Bellson Quintet with Blue Mitchell Bud Shank - Sunshine Express Scott Hamilton & Bucky Pizzarelli....remember Zoot Sims Peter Leitch Trio The Heath Brothers - Jazz Family The Ruby Braff Trio Now if only all cds were 4 bucks apiece!

Alexander Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Scott Hamilton & Bucky Pizzarelli....remember Zoot Sims That Hamilton/Pizzarelli disc is fantastic, isn't? I'm surprised that someone said that the selection wasn't as good as last year. I actually think that it's quite a bit *better* than last year. More recent titles! I'm really enjoying the two Potter discs I got. I did order another shipment earlier this week. The Albany store should be receiving another 200 discs any day now.

jacknife Posted March 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 How is that Heath Brothers disc? At 4 bucks, don't pass this one up! Great disk, one of my favorites of the lot so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that it's quite a bit *better* than last year. More recent titles! I'm really enjoying the two Potter discs I got. That was probably me. Perhaps it's just that i bought so many last time that I haven't found as many new discs that I want. A lot of "repeats," plus the nearest B & N didn't get as many in this time. I'll have to check again this weekend to see if they've restocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
