I'm thinking about grabbing a few of Dale Fielder's CDs that he has up on the bandcamp website. They're a PIA to find though. You can't just find one and click on Fielder's name. You have to search on his name and go through all of the search results to find them.

Vinny Golia has some titles like that. Agree it’s annoying to try and find everything.

Under Dale Fielder Quartet, you can find his To Sir: Tribute to Wayne Shorter, which I recommend.  It has some unexpected Wayne tunes and Wayne-inspired originals.  The fine band also includes Jane Getz.  It is sitting on my car seat awaiting my next drive, actually.

I'm glad to hear that Bandcamp Friday has been extended.  I may pick up a three-album bundle from pianist Frank LoCrasto based on t he strength of his When You're There.  The bundle is $15.75 and includes three albums that only saw a physical release in vinyl.

$9.99 to ship a $9.99 CD! Ouch. I think I'll pass.

Maybe... but it's only available as a digital download. I'm not a huge fan of that. Maybe it's time I change my attitude on this?

Mystery maybe solved..

Bandcamp has a comment ‘remastered from the original tapes’ so sounds like Harry’s Mrs didn’t destroy them and they found them. Remastered by Gearbox - I’m in !

I always had trust in the maligned Mrs B

Listening right now - beautifully relaxed, just what I needed.

Got myself a couple of Chris  Biscoe's too while I was about it.

The reissue is on Spotify now too. ‘Glowing’ would make a good alternative theme tune for ‘Test Match Special’ (Britishism alert - apologies everyone else).

Last time I saw Harry Beckett he was with Chris  Biscoe. Good memories.

Gotta love sports that involve a tea break. - I can't make head or tail of the score tables though.

Looks like my Harry Beckett reissue LP is on its way! :excited:

Now if only Ogun would reissue ‘Got It Made’.

Aaah yes, thanks, the scoring pegs make it ever so clear.

I’m glad that the Dutch don’t play cricket. :D  Oh, hang on - I think they do !

Those shipping charges are a bit wacky on the surface.  It gets bumped down to $5.99 per disc on additional CDs.  $20 for the first CD and $16 per additional disc with shipping is not bad; it'd sound better priced at $15 per disc at $5 shipping for the first disc and $1 per additional disc, though. 

There are a few Fielder discs available  on Amazon for $9.99 with Prime shipping.  I ordered The Hipster (with Danny Grissett) yesterday, which was marked down to $3.74 (probably due to a damaged case, as it is back to $9.99 today).  He released a recording from 1983 with a young Geri Allen a couple years ago that I'd like to hear.

It's funny you say that as it's exactly what I did. I found Fielder's "Plays the Music of Pepper Adams" and "Each Time I think of You" on Amazon so I grabbed them.
