Arrived yesterday from Dusty Groove.

Nice! Hope our praise of this in the Nathan Davis thread didn't steer you wrong.

Ok, the last tune, "Big Girls", Stubblefield brings it home,. I'm playing "Shelf or Share" with a couple of boxes of things, and this one was going to be shared until this last cut. Stubblefield is moving it to the shelf!

My approach to culling music from my collection: If there's ANY doubt, keep it !!!

That's been mine, too, and for several decades. But now, finally, I'm kinda getting tired of having stuff in boxes and not on shelves. And I'm not really wanting to buy more shelving and then try to find a wall to put it on (because there's not any of that left).

So...I'm not going to listen to everything I have "one more time" before I die, even if I live another 20+ years. I am going to keep getting new stuff in, becuswe I like to find new stuff I hadn't know before, So...some shit's gotta go, eventually.

The good news is that I got local buddies who are happy to take a lot of it. And I just donate a lot to the library. So, nothing goes to waste.

But I be a liar if I said that this getting rid of stuff is coming easy to me. It ain't!

I recently had good success offloading a small lot of LPs at a record show that came through. I wasn’t trying to make a lot of money on these but it was a better experience than at local shops. Our libraries don’t take stuff like this anymore, old books neither. 

[JSngry]

Our library takes donations and then sells them at library sales. I try to always go because there's other people out there who are doing the same thing. I never go away empty-handed, which is kinda self-defeating, but oh well....

[Dub Modal]

I remember those. They stopped doing them here a few years ago. Now all donations are handled through a 3rd party.

Vittor Santos "Renovando As Consideracoes" Biscoito Fino cd

A very nicely-recorded cd from this Brazilian trombonist.

Paula Morelenbaum and Joao Donato "Agua" Biscoito Fino Records cd

A delight!

[Kevin Bresnahan]

Jackie McLean - Hipnosis (Blue Note). The Moncur session. I needle-dropped this to mp3 years ago so I could listen at work on my PC. I hear this and can't help but wonder why it didn't come out when it was recorded. About the only thing I can think is that the cymbal sound is not quite right in spots. Really "phase-y" sounding, even on the Mosaic Select CD.

[Buddha the Magnificent]

Taylor Haskins - Gnosis (2017). Taylor Haskins - piano, trumpet; Nate Smith - drums; Fima Ephron, Todd Sickafoose - bass; Brandee Younger - harp; Nir Felder - guitar; Henry Hey - keyboards; Josh Roseman - trombone; Daniel Freedman - perc; Jamie Baum - flute.

Other than one Malaby solo where he really gets going, this seems a little "set" to me. Then again, this is the type of music I "know" better than any other, having played it more than any other. so maybe it's just that I don't get "surprised" by it as much as other musics (and really, it's not only jazz where "the sound of surprise" matters). But anyway, yeah, nice enough, but one and done for me.
