What music did you buy today?

[jeffcrom]

Thelonious Monk: The Complete Riverside Recordings. Nice deal on a used copy for $74.95 from Rasputin's in Concord, CA.

That's a deal! I bought it as soon as it came out, for around three times what you paid, and it's been a cornerstone of my collection since.

[sidewinder]

The Mirage 'Now You See It..' album of 1970s Brit jazz-rock on Dutton Vocalion for £1.95. Living up to its title - the only other copy was over £90 and Dutton now seems to have discontinued this title.

[ghost of miles]

Miles Davis' E.S.P as a Christmas present for a friend, and Vijay Iyer's SOLO for myself.

[jostber]

Some new and used vinyls:

Ahmad Jamal -- Poinciana

Ahmed Abdul Malik - Music Of Ahmed Abdul Malik

Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay

Gene Shaw - Break Through

Isley Brothers - Brother Brother Brother

Junior Walker - Anthology

Yusef Lateef - Doctor Is In & Out

[ejp626]

Nice little used cd haul at my fav cd exchange:

Cannonball Adderley Quintet-Live in Japan-Capitol Jazz

But the $1 bin turned out to be the real treasure trove:

Mel Rhyne-Remembering Wes-Savant

Teddy Charles-Dances with Bulls-Smalls Records

But the real find was Harold Land-Xocia's Dance on Muse...for a dollar!!! The disc is a little rough and the booklet is kinda crinkled, but it sure beats the $37.50 they're asking for on Amazon!

Yeah, those are some sweet finds. I've heard great things about Dances with Bulls. I'll try to check it out later.

I got a pretty good deal recently on Coleman Hawkins Meets the Big Sax Section on LP and June Christy Ballads for Night People on CD.

[Matthew]

The Doors: Live At The Aquarius Theater -- The Second Performance. The Doors are my favorite rock band

[mikelz777]

Carl Smith - Satisfaction Guaranteed (5-CD, Bear Family)

Well, I treated myself to my first Bear Family box set. I'm a bit concerned I'm starting an expensive trend for myself, I've already got my eye on 3 more. I spent about what a Mosaic would cost but rationalized my purchase since some CD sales and some easy side money covered a little more than half of it.

[EKE BBB]

Guess I do play Santa to myself, after all.

Yeah, the Teddy Charles IS really good! Kinda reminds me of a scaled-down "Tentet". Good stuff at every turn and a nice band too.

Wayne Shorter - Beyond the Sound Barrier

Found a sealed copy for around $2.50, in a Riyadh shopping mall of all places!

[colinmce]

I picked up these lately:

(on recommendation from Mr. Kart's book)

And, after a long search, finally a copy of:

[Matthew]

CTI Records -- The Cool Revolution.

[paul secor]

From Berkshire Record Outlet:

Jascha Horenstein/BBC S.O. & BBC Northern S.O.: Beethoven - Missa Solemnis; Schubert - Symph. No 8; Wagner - A Faust Overture (BBC)

John Ogdon: Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5 - Horenstein/BBC Northern S.O.; 32 Variations on an Original Theme; Schubert -Piano Sonata in C minor, D958 (BBC)

Artur Schnabel: The 1946-47 HMV Recordings (Appian)

In Honor of Rudolf Kolisch (Music & Arts)

[ep1str0phy]

CD copy of Dewey Redman: Look for the Black Star. I didn't even know this existed, but I didn't pay that much for it. Sce-ore. (Hot on the heels of purchasing a similar Japanese Freedom import of Ornette's Who's Crazy--vols. 1 & 2, which was also surprisingly reasonable in price.)

Also purchased recently:

Don Cherry: Live at Cafe Montmartre 166 Vol. 2

Majestic Ragas--Bismallah Khan: The Enchanter

[DMP]

Jimmy Smith's "Live at the Village Gate" (my recollection of this session is that it's a little rough, which may be the reason it was exiled to the Metro label?) and Tadd Dameron's "The Magic Touch.

[mikelz777]

A nice variety of stuff:

Boogaloo Joe Jones - Mindbender/My Fire

The Louvin Brothers - Classic Album Collection (3-CDs: The Louvin Brothers, Tragic Songs Of Life, Nearer My God To Thee)

Bruce Springsteen - The Promise (2-CD)

I'm looking forward to this one. I started losing interest in Springsteen with "The River" so it's going to be nice hearing some more stuff from the "Darkness On The Edge Of Town" era.

Loretta Lynn - Honky Tonk Girl: The Loretta Lynn Collection

[golfcrazy1984]

I had a moment of weakness/craziness and bought from Amazon sellers; 3 Mosaic sets: HRS Sessions, Capitol Sessions and Buck Clayton Jam sessions

[Stefan Wood]

From da bastids, two Creative Construction Company lps and a Burton Green lp on Columbia (w/ Byard Lancaster!)

You're not weak or crazy. You're a man with good taste.

Thanks! That makes me feel slightly better. I would have bought them from Mosaic but I didn't get into Mosaics until 2004 and it was too late for the Buck Clayton, the others I just missed out on. I am looking forward to adding 3 more Mosaics to my collection!!!!

And, I will fill you all in on my impressions. Though I am sure most have heard this music before. I think the Buck Clayton is gonna be great, the other two...I just HAD to get. I mean, they would be lonely without each other..right?

Oh, I forgot...to say thanks! I've always loved jazz and felt a strong connection to this music despite my peers liking hip hop and rap.
