What music did you buy today?

[paul secor]

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.

[Tom 1960]

A pair of Gene Ammons recordings - Big Sound & Groove Blues

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!

The Waller Transcriptions looks terrific! Thanks Bill.

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.

Marchel Ivery: 3 (Leaning House)

Charles Ives: Three Quarter Tone Pieces, Five Take-offs, Halowe'en, Sunrise, plus other pieces - Continuum/Cheryl Seltzer and Joel Sach, directors (Naxos)

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.
