Didn´t buy, but counted seven copies of a Three Sounds (does that make ´Twenty One Sounds´?) TOCJ CD in the blowout bin at the local (Guatemala) CD shop.

Guatemalans like TOCJs? Who knew? Kinda like Germans loving David Hasselhoff...

Ordered these from CD Universe today, mostly Nonesuch Explorer reissues:

1 Debussy: Images, Estampes / Paul Jacobs...

<snip>

I've got these. You won't be disappointed.

I'm guessing that you may already have most of these on LP?

If you want to explore further, there's a wonderful series on

the Italian label Felmay. :tup

I have some of the Explorers, but not the Debussy. Thanks.

Well, checked how much I had left on my credit card, closed my eyes, prayed for courage, and bought this....

The Complete Bill Evans on Verve.

Supposed to be "like new," the Amazon seller had 100% positive feedback. What the heck, you only live once. :cool:

PS: this picture is not the copy I bought, my copy should not have rust on it -- I hope.

Got back from my business trip last night and this was waiting for me, and it did have rust on it, Darn! might try to get it off. This thing is a monster of a set, but everything is in great shape; now I just have to start playing the music.

now it's there... East Coasting is great, at least just with regards to the contributions of Shafi Hadi and Clarence Shaw i might like it even much better than Tijuana Moods; Hope is great, too; will take another 50 listens to find out whether the Rivers and the Hill are masterpieces or great but overrated records :)

and I just "ran into" an AbraxasEsp sale where I got Albert Ayler's Prophecy and New York Eye and Ear Control and Charles Tyler's "Eastern Man Alone"

East Coasting is one of the most beautiful Mingus records, in my opinion. The presence of Bill Evans makes it really special. I hope you got the Avenue Jazz/Rhino version with an alternate or two? You should try and find that version of the "Modern Jazz Symposium" album - it has additional tracks, including some fantastic Shafi Hadi playing!

Had this one on hold and decided to pull the trigger based upon your recomendation. Put "Modern Jazz Symposium" on hold as well!

Thanks!

:D Found in the mail, an unexpected package containing the Complete Fletcher Henderson with Louis Armstrong on Forte label - a new/sealed copy too! My greatest "score" of the past couple of years...
