What music did you buy today?

[Niko]

found proof that it does pay off (well, not financially) to go to the same used cd shops again and again even if the selection has always been dull... found, for 5, 6, 7, 7, and 8 euro

Valdo Williams - New Advanced Jazz

Charles Williams - Trees and Grass and Things

Doug Carn - Adam's Apple

Randy Weston - Monterey 1966

Cal Green - Trippin

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Just to note that I haven't bought anything since the Roy Eldridge Mosaic, which came on 3 July (though I have received "Groovadelphia" which I'd ordered a while before).

My savings bank balance has gone up quite a bit. Shows you how expensive Organissimo is

Picked up BOB WILBER at Bechet's, ROD LEVITT/Solid Ground, NEW MCKINNEY'S COTTON PICKERS (Sealed) and JIMMY MCPARTLAND/Music Man Goes Dixieland - each one only $1.99 and in great shape. REALLY, REALLY enjoying the ROD LEVITT as I type...

Just placed an order for: Anderson / Drake / Jordan / Parker -- "Two Days in April"

if someone with the photoshop skills made a genuine pablo album out of this, i wouldn't mind (all you have to do is change the type to something strange and maybe make the whole thing 30 percent darker)

Among the recent purchases I've made, I'm quite looking forward to this one:

Lane / Grassi / Whitecage -- "Drunk Butterfly"

Tight review here.

The nut graph (for me):

Lane on bass, Grassi on drums, Whitecage on sax. And it is a winner: warm, melodic and rhythmic. Every tune is composed with a clear theme, but the improvisations can be quite free, and the three Adam Lane tunes are very bluesy. His "Sanctum" is an example in case, with a beautiful tune, vaguely reminiscent of French bass player Henri Texier's take at composition.

Any music that recalls Texier is worth investigating. Add to it "warm, melodic and rhythmic" with free improvisation ... I'm in.

Living this close to Dusty Groove is doing wonders for the US economy. Doing my part to bring the price of imports down.

Went down to my local Boogie Woogie used CD store today for a fix and .... GASP! ... empty. Closed!! ... moved inventory to another location a little out of the way. So anyways, came home and soothed my disappointment by ordering this one, prompted by this thread, actually:

The Clean Feed label has really put out alot of interesting looking stuff in the last several month. I also enjoy the Freejazz site but I have to stop going there. My budget is limited I can't afford the temptations.

Well, what a surprise!

Two CDs arrived today by Les Espoirs de Coronthie, a Guinean band. I saw them in Paris in May 2007 and thought they were very good indeed. So I asked their tour manager if they had made any records. He said they had, but not released on CD; but that it was planned to release one soon. so I asked if I could pay for it then and get the CD by post.

Well, I gave up and wrote off the 20 Euros to experience.

And, out of the blue, two turn up!!!!!!

"Dunuya iguiri" is the earliest. It was recorded in Conakry in May & June 2003 and, since it's 78 mins long, must have originally been issued as two cassettes.

The latest, "Tinkhinyi" was recorded in Bamako & Paris in Sep & Dec 2007.

More info on the "African music" thread.

These are a reward for surviving the test your computer put you through recently. ... Karma, it can be a good thing.
