marcello Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 ....also got this in the mail today. Hey! This gives me another chance to post another couple of my photos: Clark Terry & Ernie Wilkins - July 6,1976 - NYC Quote
coooltrane Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I have a lot of music to catch up on. This should keep me occupied all weekend. RVGs of the following Finally rectified my dearth of Jimmy Smith in my collection. I'm thinking more will be forthcoming. Quote
kh1958 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Two new CDs from Palmetto came in the mail--Bobby Watson's From the Heart, and Frank Kimbrough's Air. Quote
sidewinder Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 That Devilin' Tune Volume 1-4 showed up in my mailbox today. Thanks Allen! How are you finding CD1 of set 1? Interesting, huh? Quote
poetrylover3 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 McCoy Tyner: Jazz Roots. Basically McCoy plays compositions associated with some great pianists and the results are delightful. I found Don't Get Around Much Anymore(Duke) and My Foolish Heart-dedicated to Bill Evans- especially effective and moving. Personally, I could listen to McCoy play solo piano all day long. Quote
Niko Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 reuben wilson - love bug, just won this on ebay for 8 euro including shipping Quote
porter_esq Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Pat Metheny - Zero Tolerance for Silence I have been on a Metheny kick lately, enjoying 80/81, Bright Size Life, the Song X reissue, and this which I found for a dollar. I don't know why Metheny doesn't get more respect. He forged his own path with his own music for many years. Like Spinal Tap's punctuality, I'm impressed with his perseverance. Quote
poetrylover3 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) I hit BMG Music Service to find that their Box Sets are reduced by 2/3 with S&H @ 0$ once you've ordered 5 discs-not sets-discs. I figure they've either lost their minds or want to unload their Box Sets. Thus-the Complete Coltrane Quartets @ $12.33, Complete Charlie Parker Master Takes on Verve $9.33, BHoliday Verve Studio Master Takes $9.33, Coltrane Complete Village Vanguard Sessions, Jimmy Smith-Retrospective-$8 etc, etc. If you belong to BMG I'd hurry over there. Peace, Blue Trane Edited February 29, 2008 by Blue Trane Quote

Brad Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Just received Mosaic Singles: Jazz Piano and Drum Suite. Very cool. Will be listening to Woody Herman Select next. Quote

Peace, Blue Trane Code please? No code, Agg-amemnon. If you have a code in the promotion code window on the left, remove it. Blue Trane's right--CRAZY low prices (e.g., 8 bucks for the Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions), with no shipping once you get up to five discs in your cart (which you do with just one set like the Granz). Just go to the Jazz tab on the top of the home page, and then to "Boxed Sets" under "Explore" on the right, and start browsing (and buying ). Of course, same crazy low prices for box sets in classical, rock, etc. Edited February 29, 2008 by Ron S Quote
Aggie87 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Unfortunately, that's not my standard offer right now. I'm getting the Buy 1 get 90% off offer right now.... Maybe it's because of how many free items I got earlier. No wait, then Ron would be excluded more than me! Quote
mikelz777 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Rolf Billberg - Rare Danish Recordings By A Swedish Jazz Legend This was a very nice find at a Half Price Books store for only $5.98 and still sealed. Billberg, who plays both tenor and alto sax here, is not the leader of any of the groups featured in this CD but he's one of the primary soloists in all the numbers. It clocks in at a very nice 74:41 and I'm enjoying it very much. I'd recommend it . Three of the numbers here even include a 14 year old(!) Niels-Henning Orstad Petersen. Lew Blackburn - The Complete Imperial Sessions I had never heard of Blackburn until I read some buzz about this CD and how enjoyable it was. I checked out the sound samples, liked what I heard and picked up a copy which is somewhere in the USPS at this moment. Cecilia Coleman - The Imposter I first learned of pianist Cecilia Coleman while listening to Live365 on the internet. She's not well known but you can find several of her releases at CD Baby. I find her to be very talented and she's put a hook in me. Steve Huffsteter on trumpet/flugelhorn and Jerry Pinter on tenor sax make for the other primary soloists on this CD and all are excellent IMHO. Edited February 29, 2008 by mikelz777 Quote

I checked out the sound samples, liked what I heard and picked up a copy which is somewhere in the USPS at this moment. That's a very nice disc--IMO even better than the sound samples would indicate (just like I told you about the Hodges Mosaic ) . Edited February 29, 2008 by Ron S Quote

BillF Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Count Basie, Kansas City Suite (Vogue/Roulette) First heard this last week on an archived radio show by the late Oscar Treadwell at www.oscartreadwell.com. Amazon.uk was offering used copies from £55, but I got it for 10 euros via the French priceminister site, which Niko recommended! Thanks, Niko! Edited March 4, 2008 by BillF Quote

Amazon.uk was offering used copies from £55, but I got it for 10 euros via the French priceminister site, which Nico recommended! Thanks, Nico! Yes, that one is pretty nice. It's on the Basie Roulette Studio Mosaic set. I've also seen Japanese vinyls of it - and the UK issue can also be picked up without too much bother for £5 or so. Quote
