Yesterday I bought Delightfulee. Have to say, I don't like it nearly as much as Leeway.

How did you like Underwhelminglee?

Not nearly as much as Wonderfulee.

(Seriouslee, the orchestral tracks on Delightfulee are a bit of a drag, and they don't fit in with the rest of the album.)

I've picked up several more Paris recordings. Some from the Vogue "In Paris" series (Eldridge and Raney v.1) and the Dizzy Digs Paris 2-CD set. This one is pretty nice. It covers the entire In Paris v. 1 with one additional track from the Salle Pleyel concert and almost all of the In Paris v. 2. Then several more of the "Americans Swinging in Paris" series. Then Jimmy Raney w/ Bob Brookmeyer, which I am listening to right now. Finally, I ordered the Dave Bailey Two Feet in the Gutter sessions and the last copy of Wilen from CD Universe. So enough to work through for a couple of weeks, I think.

I totally forgot my Yourmusic order of Andrew Hill's Change and Turrentine's A Bluish Bag. I'm just a bit disappointed they added the Frank Foster as well, since I paid too much for a used copy the month before.

Anyway, I was really digging the Raney/Brookmeyer, esp. the last track "Too Late Now" which has just a bit of a Midnight Blue vibe going on. I'm certainly glad this was reissued. In general, I think this Decca Originals series has a pretty low profile.

They also had a copy of Don Sebesky's GIANT BOX, for which I paid $6 on eBay, but could've gotten for $0.50 yesterday. Heck, I may just go back and get it and eBay it, see if I get my money back! :g Today's half-price day, so I may be back in this thread later......

Amazingly, I randomly happened upon this from an Amazon seller. With ebay prices at least 600-800 bucks (when it rarely shows up), I had resigned myself to never getting this set (and kicking myself for not getting it when it was available). It was a boatload of cash for a box set, but a bargain for this one. This is one of the top 3 Mosaic sets I've wanted. Can't wait!
