Jazz Waltz - Les McCann & The Jazz Crusaders

I was excited to find that this was available on CD. I'm a big Jazz Crusaders fan and like Les McCann as well so this was a no-brainer purchase for me. I really liked what I heard from the sound samples I discovered on the internet so I'm looking forward to listening to this one.

The Young Lions - Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Frank Strozier, Bobby Timmons, Bob Cranshaw, Louis Hayes, Albert Heath.

I ordered a like new copy for $3.98 delivered but I have a vague, sneaking suspicion that I might already own this one. I know I had always intended on buying it but I'm not sure if I ever actually did or not. Unfortunately, most of my collection is in boxes right now so I'm not able to check.

My stuff from Sterns came today

Sleeve notes were actually written by Justing Morel Jr, who wrote many notes for Syliphone, back in the day.

While at Sterns, I ordered a few other things

This seems to be material from the early seventies, originally issued on the TYC label and now compiled by African Songs. Lurve Gnonnas Pedro!

I also picked up a few cheapos from Ghana, in a sale.

Pleasant Reggae with a touch of Highlife. Enjoyed this a lot.

More Reggae, this with more than a touch of Hip Hop.

Duke Ellington - Liederhalle Stuttgart 6.3.1967 (JazzHaus)

'Bout time SWR radio did something with their "Treffpunkt Jazz" and other jazz concert performances that have taken place at their premises for decades. Just checked their website but so far only the big, bigger, biggest names have been graced with a release. Whereas they could have done SO much to further the discography of German jazz greats (or "Eurojazz" in general) too. ;)

Thanks anyway for mentioning this label.

I totally subscribe your opinion! Meanwhile, I'll order the Benny Goodman feat. Anita O'Day as well... :rolleyes:

Yesterday I spent a few hours at my favorite record store (not that I get to visit very often), the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. I bought CDs, LPs, and 78s, including some hard to find stuff:

CD - Prince Lasha - Insight (CBS/Dusty Groove)

John Tchicai and Cadentia Nova Danica - Afrodisiaca (MPS/Promising)

Kidd Jordan - On Fire (Engine)

Douglas Ewart and Inventions Clarinet Choir - Angles of Entrance (Arawak). This is the one I was most excited to find. This version of Inventions includes Roscoe Mitchell, Henry Threadgill, and Anthony Braxton. Most of this album was recorded in the 1990's at the Atlanta Jazz Fest (my trio played right after them), and I only recently became aware that Ewart had issued the concert on CD. By the time I found out about this CD, it was seemingly unavailable, so I was really tickled to find a copy.

LP - Ken Colyer - Club Session With Colyer (London) - A nice copy of this 1956 album.

Doc Paulin - Doc Paulin's Marching Band (Folkways) - Sealed copy of a great record by one of the rougher New Orleans brass bands. I've had the Smithsonian/Folkways CDR for a couple of years, but I was very happy to find the LP.

Willis Jackson/Von Freeman - Lockin' Horns (Muse)

78 - I won't list them all, but the highlights were a 9" Louisiana Five on Emerson (I love that band) and an original Vocalion issue of "Four or Five Times" by Jimmie Noone's Apex Club Orchestra. I frankly bought the latter more as an object than a record - it looks pretty worn. But it's cool to have.

And they were playing Warne Marsh's All Music on Nessa on the sound system while I was there.

Jeff - wish I'd known you'd be in Chicago. I'd have made the trip to meet you in person. I might have bought lunch. :smirk:

What a nice thing to say!

I thought about telling the folks here that I was going to visit, but didn't, for a variety of reasons - it was a short trip (just two full days), I didn't want to abandon my wife too much, and I had been too stressed out about my dad to post much of anything here. It certainly didn't occur to me that you would have been willing to make the drive over to meet me.

It was a great visit, short as it was. I don't get to visit very often, but Chicago is a city I really love.
