None!! It's been 31 days since I bought my last jazz CD. That's the longest I've gone without buying a CD in the last 2 years! I feel like I should be in a meeting or something, "Hello, I'm Scott and I'm a jazz CD buy-a-holic.........." I hope to extend the streak and wean myself down to 1 a month or so.

[Van Basten II]

I've been about 30 minutes without buying cds.

Here's what i got today.

Any french music fan does not need any introduction about those two characters.

Never heard of that Rava recording, bought it on an impulse

Bought it because it was cheap and it comes from a label i enjoy.

Decided to try the Tower Records on-line store to see if their service has improved:

Quartet (Dortmund) 1976: Anthony Braxton

Quintet (Basel) 1977: Anthony Braxton

This was the only place I could find that had these two cds. We'll see what happens.

yes indeed!

I ordered some more OJCs (Ernie Henry & Sonny Criss)... ouch ouch ouch!

[Shawn]

Picked up Lonnie Smith's Jungle Soul...now I'm going to HAVE to get his other recent albums.

Also broke down and ordered a used copy of Masters Of Reality - Sunrise On The Sufferbus.

[Dave Garrett]

...all 20 volumes.

I knew these were OOP, and never expected to get them all in one fell swoop, but I'm still kinda stunned by the prices some of them are fetching on Amazon.

Soul Hits Of The '70s - Didn't It Blow Your Mind (Series) - Amazon

I don't think that you should hold your breath. They seem to have a lot of cds that are OOP that normally ship in two to four weeks.

Worth a try though.

Indeed. The Golson is so good. FWIW -- as an example of how time passes -- I reviewed "Sonny's Dream" for Down Beat back in '68 or '69.

[thomastreichler]

The Complete Capitol Recordings Of Woody Herman (Mosaic)

[BruceH]

Got Blues Up and Down online. Waiting with bated breath.

[sal]

This is the shit! I've been playing this non stop for the last 7 days.

[ejp626]

I was at Dusty Groove and picked up Aquele Som Dos Gatos by Os Gatos and Alice in Jazzland by Stan Tracey. They carry a few other ReSteamed releases, so I will ask them if they plan on carrying Tracey's The Return of Captain Adventure.

[sidewinder]

Alice in Jazzland by Stan Tracey.

That's a great session by Stan's 'Big Brass' recorded for Lansdowne/UK Columbia. The Reissue is from a decent vinyl - I've heard mixed reports about the sound but the music is so good, the main thing its back out there to enjoy.

All of those Stan Tracey Big Brass recordings are great IMO. Even the one with Acker Bilk - 'Blue Acker'.
