Some more miscellaneous buys from BMG freebies, B&N coupon and other internet finds:

41W79FGBRGL._SL500_AA240_.jpg Just got this and have to say that this is excellent. If you're into electric blues/rock you should check this out.

After Bluesbreakers, you might want to get the expanded reissue of A Hard Road--it's even better than Bluesbreakers (in my opinion).

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have to check it out. I see that it features Mayall with Peter Green so I have few doubts that I'd probably like it. I've really enjoyed Peter Green's version of Fleetwood Mac in the Complete Blue Horizon Sessions box set I purchased recently.

Anthony Braxton Quartet (GTM) 2006 in the mail today.

Received the Iridium set last week as well as advance copy of Art Ensemble of Chicago with special guest Fred Anderson Peace Be Unto You - Live in Seattle - two discs.

Lots o' listening to do.

I look forward to hearing the AEC/Fred Anderson set. Guest artists with working bands don't always come off, but I hope that this one does.

Against my better judgment, I bought three Mosaic Select sets today. Found them used at about the last place in town I'd ever think to look for such a thing. Picked up Randy Weston, Duke Person ($35/each) and Cooper/Shank ($19). It wasn't a huge savings, but they had a buy five get one deal and the wife had some DVDs she wanted, so it evened out.

I don't even know if the Cooper and Shank set is my bag, but for $19, what the shit?
