I just pre-ordered this LP from Dusty Groove:

I've wanted to have a physical copy of this for years.   

I first heard it after downloading the music from the Magic Purple Sunshine blog.  Remember that?!? . . .  Along with this Eddy Louiss LP, that blog provided me with my first discovery of Martial Solal's music (and many others as well).  Before streaming and before Discogs, downloading from blogs was pretty much the only way one could hear the majority of the MPS catalog (particularly if you lived outside of Europe).  Aside from a few titles issued on PAUSA or Verve, it was almost entirely unavailable.

Prototypical MPS Cover Art and excellent music ....

Went to the huge vinyl and cd fair in the city of Den Bosch. Did not have much luck last years but this year was a succes. There are 46 items on my current wantlist (well uh 37 now) and I found 9 and for reasonable prices. This was the first time prices were mostly round the Discogs median. Very happy with these 9 beauties

Just bought the new Waldron/Lacy (with others) Mighty Warrior Live in Antwerp, and threw in the Contemporary Jazz Quintet's Location album (which looks interesting).

I will try and remember. [Waldron-Lacy]

But it won't arrive until next week. By then other posters will likely have shared impressions.

This entire lot only set me back about $80.  That's nuts!

😍😍😍 ....

[T.D.]

Yeah, I'm way late on the first two, but there are so many good reissues these days it's difficult to keep up.

[HutchFan]

I just ordered a couple fun LPs that are a bit off-the-beaten-path:

The Alegre All Stars - Way Out, Vol. 4 (Alegre, 1965)
with Charlie Palmieri !!!  And Chombo and Kako and . . . 

 

Association P.C. - Erna Morena (MPS, 1973)
with Pierre Courbois (d), Toto Blanke (g), Jasper van 't Hof (el p, org), Sigi Busch (b), and Karl-Heinz Wiberny (ts, as)

The "P.C." stands for the drummer/leader, not Paul Chambers.  😜 

Typically outlandish MPS cover art.  Echoes of the Beatles' butcher cover, drowned instead of dismembered?

For those who aren't fans of German cinema, Erna Morena was a German film star who made her first movie in 1913.  I had no idea. . . . Is that her -- figuratively speaking -- in the sand?

That's still on my to-get list too.  So much interesting stuff out there.  It's impossible to keep up.  A delightful problem.
