Change of Season: The Music of Herbie Nichols. Big thanks to Paul Secor for bringing this to my attention. :tup

I've never seen that one -- thanks Matthew, and Paul!

Matthew, here's another one worth checking out, if you don't have it already:

Roswell Rudd - Regeneration

Rudd, Lacy, Mengelberg, Kent Carter, Bennink

Three Herbie Nichols tunes, three Monk tunes. Great record, and Mengelberg in particular has some great moments.

The Summer of '55 and Sophisticated Swing: The EmArcy Small Group Sessions-two 2-CD sets of early Cannonball and Nat Adderley.

John Lewis Complete Verve Studio Sessions With Lester Young-While I like John Lewis, Prez is the draw for me here. This one fell below my radar. I have about 30 Prez CDs but surprisingly, none of this material so it should be a nice treat.

Paid all of €1,90 ($2,30) for a 33RPM 7 Inch blank vinyl in a blank envelope when I visited one of the regular stores today. There was a typewritten note inside indicating it was recorded in San Francisco in 1967 by Count Basie and his rhythm section.

Well, it was worth every cent.

Turned out to be the music tracks from Basie's appearance on Ralph Gleason's 'Jazz Casual' TV show.

The Chris Sheridan Count Basie Bio-Discography says this was issued on a Ri-Disc 12incher which I never ran into but does not list that special 7incher.

"Soulful Drums" is a great one! Don't have the other one, though...

Recent arrivals:

- Jimmy Heath - The Quota (Japanese edition, seems OOP in the US/Europe)

- Ella Fitzgerald - The Gershwin Songbook

- Johnny Griffin - Way Out

- Johnny Griffin - Sextet

and just ordered:

- Don Patterson/Booker Ervin - Legends of Acid Jazz

Nice batch. Those Griffin's are stellar...check out the track Catharsis on Sextet which features a blistering duet between Griff & Wilbur Ware (one of my favorite jazz "moments").

Still have to play the two Griffins... but I'll listen for that! I didn't want to throw them on as background music, which is what I did with Ella this afternoon, as well as with a couple of other recent arrivals (Gigi Gryce's "The Hap'nin's", for instance - good one, it seems!)

I already played the Patterson/Ervin - fine one! Probably more to my liking than the second one ("Just Friends"), but I'll have to play that again, too!

Ordered today:

- five of those French movie soundtrack CDs (see brownie's thread)

- a bunch of things from discplus.ch (about 12 hatOLOGY discs and four Chronogical Classics)

crazy me!

Maybe you can give it away to one of your numerous babe-a-licious MySpace Friends. :P

You think any of them like John Zorn? :P

Actually, you think any of them have ever heard of John Zorn? :(

How is the vinyl selection at Jazz Record Center these days? Any nice stuff?

Sure, they had some nice rare and expensive records, but the stock seemed a little depleted to me.

The ones I bought were only $15 each, so I was pretty happy.
