No wonder the Swiss banks are going bust !

The Gilad Atzmon 'Refuge' is very good I think. A strong recent release.

Edited August 29, 2008 by sidewinder

Bob Florence, Westlake (Discovery) used vinyl from the French site priceminister.com for 15 euros. Not in perfect condition, tho' pretty good, and I'm not complaining as it seems to be quite a rarity and amazon.uk wanted £65 for the used CD! Oh, last but not least, the music is great!

[Big Al]

Charles Mingus and Friends In Concert (Legacy 2-CD reissue)

They may just as well have titled this BILL COSBY presents Charles Mingus and BILL COSBY and Friends In Concert with BILL COSBY.

[ejp626]

Well, DG had a bunch of late 1980s/early 1990s Muse CDs for sale for $5 each, so I picked up a few.

Johnny Lytle's Possum Grease and Jack Walrath's Gut Feelings are probably the two most notable.

I also picked up Bossa Tres Bottles, which is what I am listening to right now. What great stuff.

It turns out this is an Andorran compilation of their 1963 album with 7 cuts from "Jazz Tempo Latin Accents" from 1965. It looks like they took the "purist" route and only put on the tracks that were Bossa Tres by themselves, while the other 5 tracks had Sonny Simmons, Prince Lasha and Clifford Jordan! It would be nice to hear this as well of course. As far as I can tell, Jazz Tempo has never come out on CD, though the LP is reasonably available. (Bossa Tres 1963 is available as a CD import.)

Being the second to thedwork Pat Metheny fan - it's been a must.

I saw Mathias Eick with Manu Katché, and I liked him very much.

Curious to hear him doing his own thing.

Art Farmer arranged by Benny Golson

Got the LP back in 1968. Still one of my favorite male singers.
