What music did you buy today?

[erwbol]

It will also be a (small) disaster for US and UK based artists selling CDs and vinyl through Bandcamp directly to fans in the EU. Stores like Jazz Messengers which carry many tiny labels will benefit.

A few discs that I ordered that are due to arrive in the mail today.

Had a listen on YouTube this AM, still sounds good, $6.98 @ Amazon, hey.

What I would REALLY go for would be a record David Byrne covering Hall & Oates songs.

Ordered two of the new Dj Screw - Diary of the Originator Chapters that came out, Chapter 353 Baytown 94 and Chapter 354 Comin Out That 4 95.

Waiting for it to arrive. I've enjoyed the other Carn's in the Black Jazz reissue series.

Record Store Day 21

Ordered the ‘Egypt Strut’ Salah Ragab from my local store (Strut Records 2LP)

plus an order for Harold Land ‘Westward Bound’ and the Ron Carter ‘Golden Striker’ signed edition from JazzMesengers.

Resisted the ‘Quiet Kenny’ hype..

Yeah, I was dead chuffed when it popped up on my Discogs wants this morning from a UK seller.

Kenny Werner - Church On Mars (Newvelle Records). I got in my first of two individual LPs ordered from Newvelle Records. Expensive as hell ($65 each) but very nice pressings of music that isn't available elsewhere (yet).

That’s a very, very good Billy Harper record. One of my favs!

I'm in Chicago for a few weeks.  Yesterday, I spent a good bit of the time kicking around in record stores.

Here are a few things I bought:

Richard Beirach - The Breathing of Statues (CMP, 1982)
I have the domestic LP issue of this album -- licensed by the short-lived Magenta label -- but I'd never even seen a German CMP original until yesterday.  Normally, I'm not much of a player in the incremental sound improvement game, but I made an exception in this case.  Since it's one of the finest records that Beirach ever made (IMO) and Beirach is one of my favorite pianists, I was HAPPY to scoop it up.  My gut tells me that the pristine German vinyl will be a big improvement in sound over the Magenta LP.  (The AQ of all other CMP records I've heard has been wunderbar.) 

 

Alma Con Alma: The Heart & Soul of Celia Cruz & Tito Puente (Tico, 1970)
Craft LP reissue.  Tito Puente put out a TON of records; he was crazy-prolific -- but I'm discovering that he was also consistently interesting, a superb musician.  

 

Sonny Rollins - Dancing in the Dark (Milestone, 1987)
CD.  A Sonny Milestone that I didn't have.

 

Steve Coleman and Five Elements - Sine Die (Pangea, 1988)
CD.  I've been exploring Coleman's beginnings, back in the 80s.  Really digging what I'm hearing.  Vital music.

 

Mads Vinding Trio with Alex Riel & Enrico Pieranunzi - The Kingdom (Where Nobody Dies) (Stunt, 1997)
CD.  Love Vinding. Love Pieranunzi.  Easy decision.

 

The Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet - Change Is (Columbia, 1969)
BGO CD reissue.  I've been meaning to check out this group; I'm especially interested in the latter releases with Michael Garrick.  So I guess I'll begin with the last one and work my way backwards.

Went on a jaunt today and found a couple of records that I've always loved but hadn't seen in the wild before:

The new vinyl reissue on Decca.

You got that sharpish. Mine's in the post from Presto so they claim anyway.

Does it have a download code? I've read mention of in some listings

Nice haul, three crackers. Where did you find them?

[sidewinder]

Yes, ordered for overnight delivery. Both ‘Space Walk’ and the double do come with the download voucher. Thanks for mentioning - completely overlooked that.

The only negative I find with that 2LP version is that the two single CDs (and the Mosaic) include some very good extra tracks.

In The Little Record Shop on Tottenham Lane in Hornsey, which if I recall rightly is your neck of the woods.
