Ordered a couple of Jimmy Forrest CDs. I might have ordered a few others, but I thought I might already own them. This has certainly happened before, so it's time to slow down, apparently.

Anyway, over at DG, I got the Farmer-Golson Jazztet - Moment to Moment

and Jimmy Forrest's Heart of the Forrest with Shirley Scott and our very own Randy Marsh!

One copy left of Heart of the Forrest at DG.

ordered some ESP disks from Allegro's current sale - ouch!

their international shipping is steep, but the dollar is cheap (and so am I...)

from past experience with such sales, they might not have all the items listed in stock, so I'll wait for a shipping confirmation first!

Eric Dolphy & Booker Little -- "Far Cry"

Late for the party, but I ordered 20 items from the Oldies.com sale. Received 15 today. If the rest come sometime, that's ok. If not, I'm still happy.

No point in listing all, but I'm looking forward to hearing:

Kid Thomas & his Algiers Stomper featuring Emile Barnes

Percy Humphrey's Crescent City Joy Makers

Elmo Hope: Hope-Full

The Jon Eardley Seven

Don Friedman: Metamorphosis

Thad Jones, Frank Wess ...: After Hours

Sonny Stitt and the Top Brass

Probably nothing there that will change my world - that doesn't happen often - but I hope there's some good music in that bunch.

Benny Goodman King of Swing and Swing Swing Swing box sets.

These make up the Yale Archives collection of BG. I had two of these on cassette, and it will be nice to have them all together.

Also ordered Oliver Nelson/King Curtis/Jimmy Forrest - Soul Battle from DG. Kind of bummed I didn't see it on my last visit on Tuesday and have to make an extra trip (and probably spend even more money).

A few days ago received an order from Tower Records including the following:

Lee Morgan - Lee-way

Miles Davis - Filles de Kiliminjaro

Hank Mobley - Quintet

Cannonball Adderley Quintet Live at the Lighthouse

For some reason, they mistakenly included the soundtrack to Finding Forrester which features tunes from Miles and Bill Frisell.

But since I've been busy with two of the Coltrane Prestige box sets I haven't even unwrapped any of these CDs from their shrinkwrap.

The Complete Piano Music of Scott Joplin (4-CD)

I've been listening to the sound samples for this set steadily over the last week and have really come to enjoy John Arpin's solo performances of these numbers. I finally ended up ordering the box set today figuring I can't lose when the 4-disc set (Ebay "buy it now") can be had brand new and delivered for less than $12.00.

The Gibbs is great (though there seem to be no detailed session infos available for either albums, alas).

And the Merrill is sublime!

Ordered Patton's "Accent on the Blues" from a US ebay vendor (20$, no biggie with the $ so cheap). I fell for Amazon's CDR plot (back when it still said "Audio CD" in the big description and the actual info was hidden in the small print) and have been annoyed over that ever since... now I'm still missing "Blue John" (by the time I saw that one up on Amazon again I was smart enough to check the small print...)

Also bought the second release by BraffOesterRohrer at their concert last night - very good one, just gave it a first spin:

UTR_4203_Webcover.jpg

BraffOesterRohrer - Walkabout (Unit Records UTR 4203)

And I received a small order from a Swiss vendor I wasn't aware of, which still had these three in stock, amazingly!

"Akisakila" is the German Konnex version (of which I found "Akisakila Vol. 2 / Lono" used a few years ago), and the ZoKoSo completes my run of Koller's MPS reissues.

All three of them were albums I thought I'd have to do with CDR copies, glad to have found them!

I wasn't going to buy any music yesterday but I ran into the owner of my local vinyl shop while walking my dog and he pulled me in and I am a sucker. Picked up some good vinyl though.

The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby - Dorothy Ashby

The New Tango - Astor Piazzolla with Gary Burton

Tabula Rasa (ECM) - Arvo Part
