A Pete La Roca rec from save, and also, I really dug Elmo Hope's Trio and Quintet, so I went noodling around for a couple of the sidemen, searched the recs threads here, and came up with a couple of discs featuring Harold Land that I'm pretty excited about.

Pete La Roca -- "Basra"

Harold Land -- "The Fox"

Curtis Counce -- "Complete Studio Recordings: The Master Takes"

The Counce compilation is one I haven't come across before. Looks to have some great stuff on it! The Fox is a masterpiece, of course. All you need now is Harold in the Land of Jazz!

Yeah, I would add The Red Mitchell-Harold Land Quintet "Hear Ye" on Atlantic.

Found the Verve Elite album The Kid and the Brute for only 10 bucks. It's quite good, too! But now I have to go searching for another slimline case. One thing I hate about those Verve Elites is the dimwitted packaging.

If you live anywhere near a Half-Price Book store, you should really get on their mailing (or email) list. A couple of times a year they offer coupons good for 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% off an item. Over the last couple of days I picked up some great deals on some still-sealed CDs.

(4-CD, includes "New Faces, New Sounds", "Meditations", "Elmo Hope Trio", "Homecoming", "Sounds From Riker's Island", "Here's Hope", "High Hope", "The Final Sessions")

I've had my eye on this one and it's been sitting on the shelf at Half-Price Books for the last several months. I couldn't pass it up at 40% off.

Both on order. Should be here within a week. I typically post in the "buy" thread when I place the order. In fact, often simultaneously, as I press the 'place order' button. ... I should probably wait until they arrive.

I have nothing with Gryce as leader now, but the samples on both of these sounded tremendous. When I've had a chance to spin 'em a couple of times, I'll certainly toss my impressions into the mix. I'm looking forward to both.
