Coleman Hawkins - The Bebop Years

I've reconsidered my heretofore avoidance of Coleman Hawkins and decided to give this a try. Any thoughts on this set?

Lee Konitz-Unaccompanied Live in Yokohama-October 24th 1996-Modern Music (Japan)

Anyone no more details about this one? Can't seem to find a listing for it.

[Royal Oak]

Treated myself for my birthday with

"And His Mother Called Him Bill" - Duke

"1961" - Jimmy Giuffre 3

Especially excited about the Giuffre. I've meant to buy it for ages, but was put off by the thought of spending twenty quid on one (albeit double) CD. I'm the same when buying plants for the garden.

Louie Bellson Quartet Live at Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase (Concord)

Henry Threadgill's Zooid: Up Popped the Two Lips (pi)

You're in for a treat with both of these. The Giuffre might be his "desert island" set.

Led Bib - Sensible Shoes

First CD by this British group that is readily available in the US. Sounds very much in the same spirit of Acoustic Ladyland/

Managed to pick up a copy of the Complete Louis and Ella on Verve for $17, which I thought was a steal.

I also picked up the 5 CD Syllart compilation from DG, and am very much digging it. One CD dedicated to Mali, Congo and Sengal each with the last two CDs being sweeper CDs. I am generally listening to more world (read African) music or pop music than jazz, but still plenty of jazz is being listened to.

[Aggie87]

Found a couple of interesting titles at that big box store that starts with a "W" today:

Jackson Browne - Running On Empty cd + dvda

Steely Dan - Everything Must Go cd + dvd

Bob Dylan - MTV Unplugged

Each of these were $5! I think they're remaindered or something, which is odd to find in a big retailer.
