mikelz777 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Hi, my name is Scott and I'm a jazz CD buying junkie. It's been 26 days since I last bought a CD. I'm sorry (kinda) to say I fell off the wagon today. OK, I said as of the end of January that I was going to stop buying CDs for 6 months and I couldn't even make it a month which is only more embarrassing because it is the shortest month of the year. I was doing pretty well until I discovered I had $101.00 in my Paypal account which does not effect the home budget. That's like putting heroin and the fixing equipment in front of a junkie in withdrawl and asking them whether they are going to take advantage of it or not. I caved. I guess if you're going to fall off the wagon, you might as well do it in a big way. Even so, I plan to start all over again but I don't think a 6 month ban is going to be realistic. Hmm... I'll have to work something out. Anyway, with that $101.00 I got: I purchased these four to round out my Paul Desmond/Jim Hall collaborations. (The 3rd and 4th albums are "Glad To Be Unhappy" and "First Place Again".) I got turned on to Tubby Hayes after hearing him play on the Dizzy Reece Mosaic Select. I had originally planned on getting the "Swinging Giant" vols 1 & 2 until I discovered they were both contained in Proper's "Little Giant" box set. I would have paid more for the two than the 4-CD box set so I thought, "Why not go with the box?" "Commonwealth Blues" sounds superb from the music samples I've heard. The repetition of the bumpers and announcer (which of course were intended for radio play) does not bother me at all. Wonderful sound and great variety hearing Tubby on sax, flute and vibes. This was too good to resist for so much quality music at such a great price. Just try and not move in some way to this music!! Jordan's an incredible link between jazz and early rock and roll. Wasn't he with Chick Webb? I was tempted to go for the Mosaic box set of Wilson's Pacific Jazz material but I decided I'd rather have more variety and quantity for the same money. This will give me a nice taste of the best on that box set. I already have 3 or 4 of his post-Pacific Jazz works on my wish list. That's some great music with some 60's nostalgia thrown in. So that's $101.00 spent for 15 CDs with some change back. What do you think, is it money well spent? Edited February 26, 2007 by mikelz777 Quote
GA Russell Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) Mike, I had you pegged for Easter!!! I have the Demond Mosaic box and the Wilson CD you picked up, and in my book they are all five stars. I've never heard Tubby Hayes. In fact, I had never heard of him until the Brits at AAJ raved about him. One day I'll pick something of his up. edit for typo Edited February 26, 2007 by GA Russell Quote

Maybe it'll be different now that the money is gone. If you're interested in checking out Tubby Hayes, you could do a lot worse than checking out "Commonwealth Blues". http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AA4GI...d=37C465BB2Z8IR It's a Spanish BBC radio broadcast which features Tubby with a trio in the studio. It's a series of four sets of 3 songs each which open and close with "Tubby's Blues". (I imagine there were announcements, ads and news between each set.) On the first set, he is featured playing tenor sax. In the second set, he is featured playing vibes. On the third set he is featured playing flute. On the fourth set I believe it features one song each on tenor, vibes and flute. From the music samples, it sounds like a great CD and shows off how skilled Tubby was on each of his instruments.

jazzbo Posted March 3, 2007 Report Posted March 3, 2007 The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge. My vinyl of these shows the scars of youthful exuberance and recklessness. I recently bought Tales from Topographic Oceans on cd, and it sounded so good I went for these. I might later get Relayer. . . .That's about the end of my Yes interest. Quote
