A very rare trip to Manchester brought:

Sonny Stitt - "Kaleidoscope" (Prestige/OJC)

Coleman Hawkins "Hawk Eyes!" (Prestige/OJC)

Gil Evans - "Great Jazz Standards featuring John Coles" (Pacific)

None of them were what I was really looking for. Bought the Evans partly because everybody digs Gil Evans :blink: and partly because it opens with "Davenport Blues", a tune I was shamefully ignorant of until I looked up Bix in the Penguin Guide.

That's a wonderful Evans album. Well worth going to Manchester for! :)

Yes Bill, spent a pleasant half hour in Vinyl Exchange. The apparently alphabeticised CDs were all over the place, which rather added to the pleasure of browsing. I'm looking forward to the Evans very much - the choice of material is interesting.

Look forward to receiving these with great anticipation in the coming days:

Thanks to Bill F for recommending these recordings.

I'll second the recommendation for the quintets' album! (don't have the other one).

My recent purchases:

Von Freeman--Doin' it Right Now

Ellington -- New Orleans Suite

Chick Corea--Tones for Jones Bones

filled some gaps in my jazz in paris collection at a local sale

Donald Byrd - Parisian Thoroughfare

Django Rheinhardt - Nuits de Saint Germain des-Prés

Toots Thielemans - Blues pour Flirter

Barney Wilen - Jazz Sur Seine (decided to buy this one again and not try to get it back from my friend who had my copy for four years now)

Clarinettes à Saint Germain des-Prés (playing this one right now, was a bit hesitant, don't really know why, fearing something "too old-fashioned" or these medium sized ensembles which i somewhat dislike on many of these 50s Paris recordings; glad i bought it, very nice, swinging music, don't know much about clarinet players (although this is "my" instrument actually) this is a twofer of two complete LPs one by Hubert Rostaing with Martial Solal, some larger ensembles but mostly just clarinet with vibes (Michel Hausser) and rhythm, one by Maurice Meunier, this one is quartet or quintet (with William Boucaya on baritone) and Rene Urtreger or Raymond Fol on piano, Pierre Michelot on bass... very much recommended!)

plus a great cheap find from ebay which arrived yesterday, more Paris recordings

Mal Waldron/Marion Brown - Much More

two more amazon.de orders, if these things actually arrive they might fit into the great finds thread

Jazz in Paris "From Belgium with Love" 5 CD set, already have two, but still at 8 euro a pretty good buy

Joe Henderson Complete Milestone Years 8 CD set for 15 euro

Posted

Monika Borchfeldt, Thilo von Westernhagen, Charlie Mariano

Wach auf mein Hort, Lieder der Renaissance

2076.jpg

Well, finally Charlie Mariano made me listen to renaissance songs. I'd never thought of it, but Charlie Mariano amazed me once again. This oustanding musician holds his own in any musical context.

Nat Pierce and His Orchestra: The Boston Bust-out

2077.jpg

Young Charlie Mariano (recorded 1947-1950) as a member of Nat Pierce's Orchestra also featuring Serge Chaloff and singer Teddi King.

Genhard Ullmann: Tá Lam

2078.jpg

Budd Kopman's review of Gebhard Ullmann's 'Lá Tam' (recorded 1991) is an almost rhapsodic piece.

...Gebhard Ullmann has created a work that is breathtaking in its beauty, and awe-inspiring in its performance. ...

I don't want to answer back.

Joe Fonda: The House of Treasures

2079.jpg

Joe Fonda went into the studio again with guzheng player Xu Fengxia.

This time they added Jason Kao Hwang on violin.

I was only planning on getting the Three Sounds Soul Symphony of the recent Blue Note reissues, but at the local used store (the only one worth a damn anymore in Chicago), they had this plus Elegant Soul and Reuben Wilson's Set Us Free. While the price is still higher than YourMusic will be (if they get them), it was low enough that I sprung for them.
