I had it on an old UK Fontana vinyl (in great nick) but the CD eluded me and I want this one for the I-Pod. At £4, the price was right !

Really went for it last week:

Jackie McLean - Capuchin Swing

Clifford Brown - The Beginning and the End

Charlie Parker - Complete Live at the Cafe Society

Introducing Carl Perkins

Earl Hines Orchestra - Harlem Lament

George Gershwin - Piano Rolls

Al Cohn & Zoot Sims - Jazz Alive! At the Half Note

Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti (Revenant)

Roscoe Mitchell - Congliptious

Roscoe Mitchell - The Maze

Roscoe Mitchell - Nonaah

Air - Air Time

Charles Tyler - Saga of the Outlaws

Lester Bowie - All the Numbers

I'm excited to hear the Nessas and am also glad to check off two titles-- the Brownie and the Taylor-- that I've been looking for at a reasonable price (and how on the latter-- 16 bucks!) since I first started on jazz.

[papsrus]

Earl Hines -- "Have You Ever Felt That Way?" (frog)

[paul secor]

Prokofiev: The Five Piano Concertos; Overture on Hebrew Themes; Visions Fugitives - Michel Beroff, Kurt Masur/Gewandhaus-Orchester Leipzig (EMI)

Gyorgy Ligeti: The Ligeti Project II - Jonathan Nott/Berliner Philharmoniker (Teldec)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

also recently:

Della Reese - Swing, Slow & Cha Cha Cha

Is that a twofer? What's it like?

Gerry Wiggins Relax and Enjoy it

Jim Robinson New Orleans: The Living Legends - Plays Spirituals and Blues

Don Ewell Man Here Plays Fine Piano

Burt Bales They Tore My Playhouse Down

Red Garland The Nearness Of You

I'm giving myself a couple more good-sized purchases before I say goodbye to the Fantasy umbrella and move on to something else (or saving money).

Finally, I got shipping confirmations of a couple VSOP albums(the Red Norvo and Harry Babasin titles) from Deep Discount after placing an order back in December 2009.

Jimmy Forrest On The Trail

WTF!!!!??? Never heard of this one. Some more details would be terribly helpful, please.

haven't checked anything, but i guess it's "jimmy heath", not "jimmy forrest" in this case (good album though)

[TheMusicalMarine]

Niko is right, it's Jimmy Heath.

Penguin Guide says the ablum is "less arresting [than The Quota]; more of a straight blowing session, it doesn't play to Jimmy's real strengths and the production seems oddly underpowered, as if everything has been taken down a notch to accomodate Burrell's soft and understated guitar lines. 'All the Things You Are' has some moments of spectacular beauty.... Good straightforward jazz, but not a great Jimmy Heath album."

Not quite a ringing endorsement, but I like Heath and don't always agree with Penguin, so I'm looking forward to it.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Ah... Thanks folks.

[papsrus]

[papsrus]

One more. Raymond Burke -- "St. Louis Blues" (thanks Kenny!)

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Another great Syliphone 2 CD compilation from Sterns, selected by Graeme Counsel; this time featuring Keletigui & ses Tambourinis.

I already have about half of one disc, so I know it's terrific. And the rest, as I listen, is every bit as good so far.

Eddie Condon -- "1954 - 1955" (chronological classics)

[B. Goren.]

Charles Sullivan CDs have landed this week in my POB:

[papsrus]

Real excited about that Condon Chronological Classics, above. Anyone know it?

After reading jeffcrom's New Orleans brass bands thread, inspired to order:

Eureka Brass Band -- "New Orleans Funeral and Parade"

Earlier this week I spent a couple hours at the Berkeley Amoeba and picked up a brand new Good Time Jazz title (The Famous Castle Jazz Band In Stereo) that's not even available used on Amazon for 8 bucks, and 18 or so Blues and Rhythm Classics titles for 5 bucks a pop. Compared to the Half Price Books and Cheapo locations in the Twin Cities, Amoeba's prices are damned fine.

18 Classics R&B titles for $5 each! That's a great score.

[martini]

Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet +1: 3 Nights in Oslo (Smalltown Superjazz; 5 CDs)

Now I just have to wait a month for it to ship . . . .

I know! Brand new and shrink-wrapped, too. For whatever reason, they're in much less demand than the jazz classics series.
