Just got back from Louisville with these... neither shop I went to lives up to the shops here in St. Louis but both had a few discounted gems.

The CD of English Settlement just came in. I used to have the British vinyl double-album with only three or four songs per side. I eventually sold that and eventually began to regret it. Kind of annoying how the CD booklet simply reproduces the album's song-listing and lyric sheet at CD size, so you would need a powerful magnifying glass to read the lyrics (at least I would.) I'll never understand why "Fly On the Wall" wasn't released as a single.

Back from North Wales yesterday and found, waiting in the hall:

41okomH+N+L._SS500_.jpg

Very nice (and cheap!) compilation of ABC material, very little of which I've got already. But doesn't include "Worried life blues". Still...

Also, two from Gunther Gretz:

I thought Gunther had issued this on Popular African Music, but it's an old issue on Bolibana, as it turns out. He also had this one in stock, so I sprang for it, too.

Keletigui,+front.jpg

Both were quite expensive, but they're both fabulous albums. And none of the tracks (I think) are included in the recent Sterns compilation of Keletigui & co, which is highly admirable!

Grant Green, "Visions," Don Friedman, "Straight Ahead," and Oliver Nelson, "Swiss Suite." (From Dusty Groove, so you can check the overblown descriptions...)

I bought the Art Pepper Hollywood All-Star Sessions from Amazon Marketplace's Newbury Comics today. I verified that indeed it's not a cutout or UPC gouge, but fully new retail. I've played all 50 sound samples 3 times today, so I think I'll enjoy it.

Also took a chance on the Bud Shank/Bob Cooper Mosaic Select that's still available on Amazon. Not sure if they'll in fact deliver in the 1 to 3 weeks promised. The last one on eBay went for almost $100, so $64 is a bargain in comparison.

Buncha jazz EPs at a shop in Cophenhagen: Tony Scott (Swinging in Sweden); Sidney Bechet on Vogue doing Christmas tunes (his last recording session, I believe), and several by Papa Bue's Viking Jazzband - one with George Lewis. They had some cool 78s, but I doubted they would survive the baggage handlers on the trip home.

Also picked up a CD by a Danish saxophone quartet: Saxopaths. Never heard of any of them, but I'm a sucker for saxophone ensembles.
