paul secor Posted June 27, 2010 Report Posted June 27, 2010 Made a visit to Sally's Place in Westport, Ct. & picked up a number of things, including: Borah Bergman/Roscoe Mitchell with Thomas Buckner: First Meeting (Knitting Factory Works) Muhal Richard Abrams: Vision Towards Essence (Pi) Saw First Meeting there almost a year ago, but passed on it. When I went there today, it was still there. Good news for me, but the fact that it sat there for a year is depressing. Quote

BillF Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) Halfway House Orchestra -- "Complete Recordings: Recorded In New Orleans, 1925-1928" Oscar 'Papa' Celestin and his Original Tuxedo Jazz Band - 1949-1953 Can't find your thread requesting early jazz recommendations, paps, so am adding this one here: I recall the first four tracks as sensational! They are "The Moon is Low", "The Sheik of Araby", B Flat Blues" and "Honeysuckle Rose" recorded in 1939 with John "Bugs" Hamilton, Gene Cedric, John Smith and Slick Jones. As electrifying small-group-with-vocals sides, they perhaps anticipate what Louis Jordan was to a few years later in such hits as "Caldonia", "Let the Good Times Roll", "School Days", etc. But I expect you already know/have those!

jeffcrom Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 I'm far from home, in Bellingham, Washington, which is halfway between Seattle and Vancouver. I visited an independent CD store in town and was very impressed by their jazz section. Even after putting half of my original stack back, I walked out with these used CDs: Archie Shepp - Steam (Enja) Don Patterson - Boppin' & Burnin' (Prestige OJC) When I had fewer than ten jazz albums, Don Patterson played on one of them - a Verve Gene Ammons/Sonny Stitt. Albert Ayler - At Slugs' Saloon (ESP) Joe McPhee Po Music - Linear B (Hat Art) Wadada Leo Smith's Golden Quartet - The Year of the Elephant (Pi) Don Cherry - Live at Cafe Montmarte, Vol. 2 My favorite Atlanta CD store always has Vol. 1 & 3, but I've never seen Vol. 2. Coleman Hawkins - Big Band 1940 (Jazz Anthology) David Newman - Captain Buckles (Label M) Recommended by The Magnificent Goldberg. Several of these have been on my want list for some time, so this was a fun afternoon. Quote

colinmce Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) A bit of a Hat Hut spree, though with a modest total, as all titles were discounted/cut-out: Plus: Edited July 11, 2010 by colinmce Quote
BillF Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Plus: Classic stuff! A favorite of mine! Quote
colinmce Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Yeah, I've been looking for it for a while. Glad I could find the original LP! Quote

BillF Posted July 11, 2010 Report Posted July 11, 2010 Warne Marsh / Lennie Tristano Intuition My cheapest new purchase ever! £3 at Fopp. And why have we heard so little of Ted Brown? Quote
save0904 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Posted July 12, 2010 John Zorn, George Lewis, Bill Frisell More News for Lulu Warne Marsh / Lennie Tristano Intuition My cheapest new purchase ever! £3 at Fopp. And why have we heard so little of Ted Brown? I got mine at 4.99€ which also seems to be a great deal! Quote
sidewinder Posted July 14, 2010 Report Posted July 14, 2010 My cheapest new purchase ever! £3 at Fopp. And why have we heard so little of Ted Brown? Fopp is great for £3 to £5 specials. Really miss the Bath store, where you could pick up much of the Blue Note/Capitol catalogue and CBS/Sony stuff for £5. Got some truly great deals there. At least the Bristol store up by the University is still operating and doing the £3 deals. Not quite as accessible for me though. Quote
