DMP Posted March 16, 2012 Report Posted March 16, 2012 My local store is calling it quits, so, at 50% off, I picked up the Hip-O Select Wes Montgomery box, one of those Audio Wave XRCD's (Dexter Gordon, "Doin' Allright") and a used Japanese Blue Note - John Hardee Swingtets. Quote
kh1958 Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 That looks rather interesting and had escaped my attention; I ordered one too. Quote
JSngry Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Same here. "Rugged Jungle"...the way the band sounded in those last years...I had to check it out. Here's a sample, found quite by surprise, which got me to looking. Kind of intense in a lot of ways... Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted March 19, 2012 Report Posted March 19, 2012 Late post, from UK Mail, not Royal Mail, just brought this. Sam Theard was a comedian of the twenties and thirties. You'll have heard of him as the writer of 'You rascal you' and 'Let the good times roll' and 'You can't get that no more', for Louis Jordan, and Ruth Brown's 'Teardrops from my eyes'. As a comedian he was known as 'Spo-dee-o-dee', from which Sticks McGhee got the solution to a substitute word for his song, 'Drinking wine, motherfucker'. Born 1904, died 1982. He apeared in some well known films, as well as making records and writing songs. He was in the TV series 'Sanford & son' and 'Little house on the prairie' and in the films, 'Norman is that you' with Redd Foxx, and with Richard Pryor in 'Which way is up'. Haven't heard it yet. It literally arrived a few minutes ago. MG Quote

JSngry Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I think Bajka sounds a lot like early June Christy, but I want to make sure. Quote

Here's a sample, found quite by surprise, which got me to looking. Kind of intense in a lot of ways... Interesting. Ellington makes a longer version of the speech about McLuhan on the studio version of the suite. I mentioned this once to McLuhan's daughter who said Duke and her father were friends though Ellington always seemed to be flirting with her mother. Quote

mikeweil Posted March 25, 2012 Report Posted March 25, 2012 Jamal's latest, with Reginald, Veal, Herlin Riley, and Monolo Badrena. Bought it for Riley in the first place, who does not disappoint. I must admit I like Jamal's 1950's and 1960's playing best - there is a little too much focus on the piano, although there is plenty of interaction. Maybe it's the recording balance ... This was recommended to me by an old friend - one sassy, sexy album, looking back to the 1960's but very contemporary, the band grooves like mad. Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 Three volumes of Buxtehude's harpsichord music, with Lars Eric Mortenson, and the Complete Mingus Town Hall Concert. Quote

ejp626 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Posted March 26, 2012 I decided I ought to track down some of the best of the CD reissues of the Everest catalogue before they disappear. I found this super cheap from a UK seller: I'm trying to source the cheapest Orchestral Music of Eric Satie, but in the meantime, I found a bargain on Roge's Satie's Piano Music, so I snatched this up as well: Quote
JSngry Posted March 27, 2012 Report Posted March 27, 2012 Progressive Sounds by Gerald Wilson Federal 295-93 10' LP. Probably paid a touch too much, but still less than the Chronological and/or Jazz Factory CDs I can find that have the same material, and besides, how cool is a Gerald Wilson 10". Pretty damn cool, for my money! Quote

mikelz777 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 Ray Charles - Pure Genius: Complete Atlantic Recordings 52-59 (7-CD/1 DVD) Ordered it today and I'm really looking forward to giving it a listen. It was a great deal n/s for $39.99 on Amazon Marketplace. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 4, 2012 Report Posted April 4, 2012 In the last few days, a few gospel albums have turned up The Bells of Joy - The collection Damn fine group I had only heard of before. Rev Clay Evans - Songs from the Ship I've got lots of Clay Evans. This is great. Mighty Clouds of Joy - Best of vols 1 & 2 I decided I needed some of their earlier material, as I only have LPs from the eighties. This is Peacock stuff from the sixties. Very cheap, but bit of a swiz that three of the tracks are on both CDs. Dr Charles G Hayes & the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir - Chapter one I've got a lot of this choir. This one's from 2008 and I'm listening to it now. Damn fine choir from Chicago which I've always thought of as the hottest northern gospel choir. MG Quote
