clifford_thornton Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Great stuff Erik ! Those Sun Ra reissues are great (I have the 'Atlantis') - they sound pretty good and are priced OK. Heck, they probably sound way better than the Saturn originals (not difficult). I've got "The Magic City" in this series, it's a Scorpio product. In fact once I finished checking most of the new vinyl I've bought in the last three years ( about 20 titles) are Scorpios, none sound great. All are passable IMO but then again I've got nothing to compare to. Scorpio resissues seem to cover Blue Note, Prestige, Time, Saturn, Inner City, Vortex , quite a range, no idea if they're all mastered from DAT but I'm avoiding them now. How is Scorpio getting the rights to these? BN excepted, I assumed these were boots or dubious licenses. Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Got two Lonehills today: "Classic Trio Sessions" by Earl 'Fatha' Hines -- mid-'60s things that I had on Contact, and Columbia LPs....from Hines' rediscovery period. "Jimmie Lunceford in Hi-Fi", 2 tribute recordings by Sy Oliver (east coast studio bands from 1950 and added '57 tracks, for Decca) and Billy May (on the west coast for Capitol) from 1957. Quote

poetrylover3 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 A nice miscellany of Live, Small Group, Big Band, and Vocalists on 4cds. Highlights include: Festival Blues with Roy Eldridge, Johnny Griffin, Milt Jackson; CB Trio-"Baby Lawrence"; Joe Turner-"Corrina, Corrina"; amo. Granz recorded so much late Basie that a set like this-currently available from an Amazon affiliate at $8 plus S&H-is valuable for further direction. So live Ella in decent sound at a bargain price, none of which I owned previously-$9.99 Newbury Comics via Amazon-how could I go wrong? Answer: I didn't. Especially fond of the Greatest Jazz Concert In The World set. So here's to many happy hours... Peace, Blue Trane Quote

Hot Ptah Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) 40 more $1 LPs at the Music Exchange liquidation sale in Kansas City, including more Count Basie on Pablo and Verve, Ellis Larkins, Amina Claudine Myers, Ran Blake, Clare Fischer Big Band, Pete Candoli, Conte Candoli, Pete and Conte Candoli together, a 3 LP boxed set of Commodore Records highlights (still only $1), Edmond Hall, Louis Armstrong, Earl Coleman, Teddy Wilson, Bruce Forman, and others I will remember after I post this. After flipping through many thousands of unsorted LPs in a hot, unventilated old warehouse, as sweat literally drips from the brow and the fingers turn black, my mind is not as sharp as it can be. Today the sale was highlighted not only by the unbearable heat and the stagnant air, but also by very loud people shouting out across the aisles of boxes with their helpful guidance for the rest of us. So as one was struggling to breathe and going through yet another hundred albums by 101 Strings in the hope of finding a Pablo gem, suddenly the silence was shattered by a sceam: "HEY! Does anyone want Bob Seger! Lots of Bob Seger here!" Or "I just found some Simon and Garfunkel over here! Simon and Garfunkel!" Two guys shouted at each other for several minutes about who Ahmad Jamal is. One guy knew and was urging everyone else to rush over and grab Jamal albums, the other guy had no idea who he was and had numerous questions about him--this guy obviously had never heard any jazz in his life. As the guy next to me said, as he started his second immense pile of $1 albums he was buying, "this is just like Christmas." Edited July 21, 2008 by Hot Ptah Quote
