What music did you buy today?

[papsrus]

Well, I'm a few years late to the party ...

Monk's music is magical. ... Not sure why I gave it all such limited attention prior. Something to do with my bass-ackward ways, I figure.

Sally's is a great place. Support your local record store!

[okierambler]

A couple of downloads from Amazon.dot.swamp.

John Zorn - Alahambra Love Songs

SF Jazz Collective - 2 - haven't heard yet.

[AndrewHill]

Sally's is a great place. Support your local record store!

Amen, because that's all we got! And my 'local' store is nearly 150 miles away to boot!

[mikelz777]

Got this for $5.78 so I couldn't resist.

Dizzy Gillespie - The Complete RCA Victor Recordings: 1947-1949 (2-CD)

[papsrus]

Continuing my recent journey into Monk's music:

Thelonious Monk -- "Complete Prestige Recordings"

(Haven't received the Lands or Byrds yet. Maybe today. The Monk stuff is all wonderful. And yes, "Monk's Music" is genius -- raw, crazy, beautiful, jarring.)

[Drew Peacock]

I was browsing Amazon today in the George Russell section. I came across this MP3 download for $1.78. I'm not at my home computer but the minute I get home I'll be downloading this puppy.

[AndrewHill]

Used store that I don't frequent often must've had some jazz fan desperate for money, because he (she) dumped a bus-load of RVG's all for under $8 bucks a pop and few other extra goodies laying around:

Blue Mitchell-Boss Horn (glad to nab this one since its now OOP)

Art Taylor-A.T.'s Delight

Jackie McLean-Bluesnik

Jackie McLean-Alto Madness-Prestige/OJC

Art Blakey-Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World

Art Blakey-Big Beat

Art Blakey-Mosaic

Spontaneous Music Orchestra-Mouthpiece-Emanem (for $5!)

William Parker Trio-Painter's Spring-Thirsty Ear

Paul Bley-Open to Love-ECM (the original cd issue)

And there was a ton I left behind because I ran out of money!

[thomastreichler]

Enrico Pieranunzi: Play Morricone (CamJazz)

Renato Sellani: Blues For Chet (Philology)

Eddie Higgins: Standards By Request - 1st Day And 2nd Day (Venus) 2 cd

You lucky guy! The Prestige stuff is a real highlight of Monk's career, and since he was on the label for such a relatively short time the material can be taken in almost all at once, in a white heat of enthusiasm and discovery. And it sounds like you're going for it!

[Niko]

Elvin Jones/Jimmy Garrison - Illumination

plus

Chet Baker in Bologna (Dreyfus with my favorite Baker band Catherine/Rassinfosse)

Lucky Thompson (the Fresh Sound Twofer with Tommy Flannagan)

Cohn/Kamuca/Perkins - The Brothers

Cohn/Kamuca/Perkins - The Brothers

Surprisingly, in view of my liking for the sons of Lester, I wasn't taken by The Brothers, but am much happier with Perkins and Kamuca, Tenors Head On. How do you find The Brothers?
