What music did you buy today?

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Bobby Blue Bland - The Anthology (2-CD)

I wish there was a complete Bobby Bland Duke compilation. I've never heard anything from this period that's not very well worth listening to.

One for Mosaic?

Kurt Rosenwinkel & OJM Our Secret World

[medjuck]

Reading "Ellington Uptown" so I just downloaded from iTunes Johnson's "Yamekraw" and Gershwin's "Blue Monday Blue" so I'd be able to listen to what he writing about.

[JohnJ]

A fairly large nearby music store was selling loads of new CD's for a little over $1 each. All complete dreck, apart from one, Ben Allison 'Cowboy Justice' which I naturally bought.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Dakota Staton - Darling please save your love for me - Muse

(Posting two, because they're small )

This is a 1991 album produced by Houston Person with Bill Easley on sax and Bross Townsend on piano. Very nice! Wish I'd bought these Muse albums when they came out. Dakota's chops are still what they were in 1957!

Dakota Staton - Time to swing - Capitol (DRG)

Another terrific set of small bands behind Dakota - including Taft Jordan, Joe Wilder, Phil Woods, Budd Johnson, Jerome Richardson, Kenny Burrell, Hank Jones, George Duvivier, DOn Lamond. This is from summer of 1959.

Dakota Staton - More than the most - Capitol (Collectables)

No personnel listed on this, but good alto and tenor sax solos. Perhaps Budd Johnson is on this but not Woods, I'd guess. Autumn of 1959, this was done.

This one was the first Soul Jazz album I ever bought, back in 1960. My landlady's cat thought it was wonderful to watch the record going around and jumped on it one day. It's taken me a long time to get around to buying a replacement

Two more Dakotas still in the post!

Went to one of Manchester's few remaining second-hand record shops today, Kingbee Records in Chorlton (you must be familiar with this one Bill).

Don Wilkerson "Preach Brother"

Jimmy Forrest "Forrest Fire"

Duke Pearson "Wahoo"

No, I didn't know them, Richard. I must get along there when I've some cash. Even then, I won't be in the running for a Sahib Shihab LP at £300 (on their website)

[Royal Oak]

Wilbraham Road, opposite Morrisons.

There was a rack full of nice CDs - the owner said he'd recently bought a collection of about 600.

The "Collector's" vinyl I only had a skim through.

Yesterday, actually - in the mailbox:

Roscoe Mitchell/Tatsu Aoki: First Look (Southport)

[Uncle Skid]

Three Mal Waldron Enja CDs: One-Upmanship, Black Glory, Hard Talk.

Thanks for the heads up on this one, Richard! Went along today and came out with

which I've known for fifty years, but never owned! Just under 300 used jazz CDs there in very good condition, most for £5, with an emphasis on Blue Note. Mind you, these places always play it very carefully as to what they'll accept - I just couldn't get anyone to take an Eddie Condon album off me and it was classic stuff (I'd replaced it with a more comprehensive CD). A few heartbreaks in there; e.g. spotting Paul Gonsalves Gettin' Together for a fiver, which I'd bought via Amazon a couple of months ago for a total of £9.79!

Philly Joe is something else on this one!

[BillF]

Here the recently-departed Mel is replaced by Dennis Mackrel and the repertoire consists largely of compositions and arrangements by band members Jim McNeely, Ted Nash, Kenny Werner and Ed Neumeister. 63 minutes of dense, intricate music promises much future quality listening.

[Shawn]

Does that album happen to mention the name of the artist that did the cover? That style looks really familiar but I can't place it.

Arrived in the mail today:

Roy Eldridge: Heckler's Hop (Hep)

Pieter Wispelwey - Johann Sebastian Bach: Gamba Sonatas (Channel Classics)

Schubert: Symphony Nos. 8 & 9 - Bernstein/NY Philharmonic (Sony)

Late edit - the man's name isn't spelled Scubert - that sounds like the name of a cartoon character.
