Today was a good day for vinyl. I got given the following:

Jarmo Savolainen - self titled (Kompass Records)

Clarles Lloyd - Charles Lloyd in Europe (Atlantic)

Ritchie Cole - Some Things Speak For Themselves (Muse Records)

Czeslaw Bartkowski - Drums Dream (Polskie Nagrania)

And I bought the following for £1 each:

Dave Brubeck - Greatest Hits (CBS)

Jackson Five - Anthology 2LP (who cares)

I also got given a stash of pop/rock/curio 7"s that I got my pick of before being sold off.

This came this morning, pretty quick I think, since it was sent on 4 February from Ghana.

The image is a bit small, so it's Castro Destroyer - Toffee - Frimprince

Fabulous!!!!!! There were samples of only the first four tracks on the Ghana.UK site where I bought it, but the other seven are NOT a disappointment - some are incredible. Many times unable to sit down and listen!

It occurred to me, while listening, that there is a core of contemporary Ghanaian music which has incorporated military band music from Britain, Swing and Bebop from America, to create Highlife, and further infusions of R&B, Hard Bop, Soul, Funk and now Hip Hop, have changed this core not one whit! And I thought, "it would be nice, just now, to have a Hard Bop solo in here", and twenty seconds later, into the last but one track, comes a trumpet player - obviously late for the session - playing, well, not a Lee Morgan imitation but a very nice piece of jazz soloing!

I'm going to get a lot more of this stuff!

Johnny Hodges Small Group Mosaic

Me too - just called Mosaic this morning. I haven't gotten an email from them yet indicating it's been moved to Running Low/Last Chance, but it seems like everyone that's put off getting this one is jumping on it quickly now.

It's currently in the 'Running Low' section - hence the recent rush on it.

Earl Hines Once Upon a Time

Also put a hold on Milt Jackson's Night Mist -- I wanted this one more but the clerk couldn't price it without his boss, so they are holding it for the week.
