JSngry Posted June 22 Report Posted June 22 Yeah, I saw that. Somebody wasn't thinking. Or paying attention! Or reading the co.ic strips! Quote
GA Russell Posted June 22 Report Posted June 22 13 hours ago, Big Beat Steve said: 😁 Certainly a nice compilation and a nice try to (re)create a period-looking cover, but with this subtitle Bear Family shot themselves right in the foot. (Sez me, the collector not only of music but also of collectible cars, as well as "linguist" ). Some English native speakers will probably have wondered about what the "tuned cars" may be doing there in the title. To explain: In German, the (Anglicism) term of "Tuning" refers to hotting up an engine or car, whereas - as you in the US will certainly agree - in its original english core meaning, "tuning" just refers to setting up ("tuning up") an engine (or suspension, for that matter) properly so it works perfectly as it should. Bear Family rather ought to have written "Hopped-Up Cars" (to use a period term) here. Oh well ... 👍 Quote
Holy Ghost Posted June 24 Report Posted June 24 Have the Don Byas. Just got home: spinning the Bud Powell Columbia on Thelonious I picked up for $5 never to be see again in a weird-ass record store outside Hyland Park: wow! Completes the Cannonball's Columbia producing jazz he was doin' there for a short while. Quote
HutchFan Posted June 24 Report Posted June 24 More Baden Powell vinyl finds: Baden Powell & Vinicius De Moraes - Afro-Samba (Barclay/Movieplay, originally released in 1966) I'm super-excited to have this LP. It's in pristine condition too. I think this music marks the beginning of Powell's most fertile period as an artist -- from (roughly speaking) the mid-60s to the mid-70s. Baden Powell - S/T (Barclay/Movieplay, 1971) Baden Powell - O Som De Baden Powell (Elenco, 1968) I was very surprised and pleased to find this LP. It's a Brazilian release that was never issued in the U.S. or Europe. Quote

This is how my wife directed this: Dusty Groove closes at 7 p.m., so I'll drive you there and get you there by 6:57 p.m., so you can only get through the A's. So, I bought Cannonball's Sharshooters, not exactly the edition I wanted, but they were practically throwing me out; no need telling them you're from out of town/once in a lifetime experience...save it; they don't care. What I did do, is finish shopping on-line: Chet Baker Quartet w/ Russ Freeman-Capitol/Pacific Jazz Conte Condoli Quartet-Mode Japan new George Wallington-Leonard Feather Presents Bop-Mode Japan new Edited June 27 by Holy Ghost Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 (edited) Last afternoon's local purchases: Mary Lou Williams, The Asch Recordings (2-LP box set on Folkways FA 2966) Fairly reasonably priced (for our latitudes ) at 15 EUR. (Box VG+, haven't played the records yet but they look totally unmarked) And then, a chance purchase ... Emmett Miller Acc. By His Georgia Crackers Crackers (green vinyl on The Old Masters TOM-1) for a mere 2,50 EUR in close to NM condition from the Special Offers bin. 😃 Actually an item that had crossed my mind a couple of weeks ago after I had re-read Nick Tosches' "Country, The Twisted Roots of Rock'n'Roll". He dwells at length on and enthuses about Emmett Miller (as does Allen Lowe in some of his writings) as a unpigeonholable one-of-a-kind early country-cum-blues-cum-jazz "crossover" artist and even mentions this TOM reissue in his book. So, having found one or the other early jazz TOM LPs at my "go-to" record shop in their Sale bins, I wondered, "Would it be totally unlikely that a copy of that one comes my way there before long too"? Well - lo and behold, there it sat now, waiting for me to give it a new home ... (among a handful of other TOM LPs featuring 20s jazz bands, but I skipped these for the time being). (Yes I know Miller's music has been reissued elsewhere since, too, but this would have meant mail-ordering from who knows where ...) Edited June 27 by Big Beat Steve Quote
Niko Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 that Mary Lou Williams I am also hoping to find some day... My purchases of the last two weeks: Anthony Braxton (Actuel 15) ... think quit a few people are replacing the originals with LPs right now Cal Tjader - Last night when we were young ( a ballads album on Fantasy from the 70s with Frank Strazzeri who also arranged the strings) The Contemporary Jazz Classics Of The Paul Moer Trio Sonny Stitt & the Top Brass (someone put the ugly but good-sounding 1980s LP into a nice 1960s original jacket) Albert Ayler - The Hilversum Session Shorty Rogers – Afro-Cuban Influence Quote

T.D. Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Been on the want list a while, listened on bandcamp and pulled the trigger. I've posted before that I find Barry Guy's large ensemble material much more compelling than what I hear from the "contemporary classical" sector. Quote
Pim Posted July 13 Report Posted July 13 a lovely deal on Discogs (excluding the Parker boxed set). Couldn’t resist. Haven’t spun the Evan Parker box yet but it looks like a piece of art Quote
