I'm a big fan of the clearance bins at Amoeba. $2.99 each, but also buy 4 and get one free. So less than $20 (inc. tax) for the following...

Benny Carter "The King" (OJC)

David Newman "Under a woodstock Moon" (Kokopelli)

Jeannie & Jimmyu Cheatham "Gud Nuz Bluz" (Concord)

Eric Watson Trio "Silent Hearts" (Sunnyside)

Alvin Batiste "Marsalis Music Honors"

Ruby Braff "Linger Awhile" (Vanguard)

Lennie Tristano "Lennie Tristano/New Tristano" (Atlantic)

Buddy Rich "All-Star Small Groups" (LRC)

That's a new one, and it's good! I reviewed it in the New Releases forum not long ago.

I wonder why it was in the cutout bin.

Not a cutout, but it may have been a promo copy (the disc is at work so I can't check). Amoeba will also mark down discs (sometimes dramatically) if they're slightly scratched or if the inserts are dinged.

MEREDITH D'AMBROSIO "WISHING ON THE MOON"

SCRIABIN PIANO SONATAS BY JOHN HOGDON

[Durium]

THELONIOUS MONK

First you concentrate on the background noises made by the audience; the conversations, the laughters, the drinking; it irritates and after a minute you have to concentrate to the music of Monk - the strange chords, the weird accents, the gorgeous melodies; you're under the spell on Monk's music; you're alone with him in the same room. No other noises can bother you ..... that's the bewitched feeling I always have with Monk.

Highlighting choice finds:

I finally tracked down a copy of Horace Tapscott's The Dark Tree (Volume 2), which is wonderful. I may still prefer the earlier treatments of many of these compositions, especially on the simmeringly furious The Giant Is Awakened, but these later sides have a special, concentrated sort of intensity.

Also: John Carter's Variations on Selected Themes for Jazz Quintet (which I didn't even know had made it to CD). It's an unusual bass-less format, and Carter's eerie orchestration is resplendent in the unconventional "front-line" interaction (Carter on clarinet, Bobby Bradford on trumpet, and James Newton on flute). Interesting to note how Bob Stewart's tuba provides more of a liminal melodic role than rhythmic support (ala Joseph Daley in the Sam Rivers trios)--that job is capably handled by Phillip Wilson. The program here has a quiet, insular character that sits nicely with me against Carter's more epic forays.

Also: finally figured out that Joe Chambers's Double Exposure is still sort-of available on LP. I expected a whole album like the explosive "Monk's Dream" duet on Unity, but the character of this record is decidedly softcore. Larry Young plays a largely supportive role, spotlighting Chambers's piano work. It's a nice coda to the Young legacy--rumbling with passion, but mysterious and oblique.
