My daughter and I happened to be in Akron at the same time a record store was open.  I snagged these for a grand total of $12.  It ended up being a really nice, small haul.

I always enjoyed Michael Feldman's show and wish I had attended a taping.

This is only my second Mariano album.  Now if only I could find the other one, which is another trio but with Philip Catherine instead of Mazur.

With Wallace Roney, Ralph Moore, Steve Coleman, Robin Eubanks, James Williams and Robert Hurst anf Kenyatte Abdur-Rahman.  I've seen them all except for Abdur-Rahman, who was new to me, and the Williams, whose early death was a terrible loss.

Forman's recent Reunion!, in which he, John Clayton and Jeff Hamilton play their mentors' (Kessel, Brown and Manne) instruments, has become a favorite guitar album of mine.  With Bobby Hutcherson guesting and George Cables on piano, this was another great find.

I've meant to hear this one and was reminded to order it after confusing another fine Chicago pianist named John (Campbell) with Young.  

I finally bought an album by yet another Chicago pianist, Bob Dogan, whose work with vibraphonist Jim Cooper (including two albums with the great Ira Sullivan) I've enjoyed.  I was saddened to discover that Dogan died in February 2020.

Presenting Ronnie Scott sextet, Fontana reissue. Wanted records, Bristol. Nice shop, lots of jazz. No bargains but reasonable.

Mostly unusual stuff and shots in the dark, but they weren't expensive...

(an early Mike Nock recording)

Mike Melito "The Thing Is To Swing, " with Joe Magnareili, Grant Stewart,  et al. Nice choice of tunes -- two from Tommy Turrentine,  a medium-up "Lush Life" (surprislngy effective that way) "Straight Street"  etc.

👍 Yes, one of the best of recent issues IMHO.

Preordered in Feb., shipped today. 🤷

A recent download of the Louisiana Sugar Babies session from the James P. Johnson Mosaic was my first Fats Waller recording.  I quickly realized I needed more and figured that this could be a good choice.

Sure, if I can remember...😄

Not sure I recall that thread, but the disc was also recommended in a thread on the Vampi Soul label.

I recently picked up another Vampi Soul disc from DG for $5.99

https://www.discogs.com/master/430576-Ruben-Lopez-Furst-Jazz-Argentino-En-La-Universidad

and liked it so much that I resolved to buy Fetén in the next order, same vendor / price.

I'm filling in Commodore gaps (or at least what is possible to fill in on CD) and grabbed the three Giants of the Tenor Sax volumes, one with Chu Berry and Lucky Thompson, one with Coleman Hawkins and Frank Wess and one with Ben Webster and Don Byas, along with Boogie Woogie and the Blues - Piano Solos by Albert Ammons.

I had wanted the newer Hawkins/Berry compilation with alternates but knew I'd miss the orphaned Thompson and Wess sides.  I then won a four-disc lot with these four albums on eBay for less than $14 after shipping.  The Ammons disc was a happy bonus.  From the name, I expected all solo piano, so the fantastic session with Page, Byas, Dickenson, Crosby and Catlett was a welcome surprise.
