When you get the chance to listen to this a few times, please post your thoughts here!! — in a thread I made a while back for the entire CD.

 

Got the disc. Sounded very good on a first listening. Unfortunately, the CD arrived scratched and has to go back.😢

Hope to say more if / once a replacement copy is received.

Such a bummer when that happens!

Because it's such a low-priced item, they (DG) are crediting my account rather than sending a replacement. So I plan to throw a copy (if still in stock) in my next order. The scratch is at the end of the last track, so I can listen to around 95% of the disc straight through.

In the meantime, I ordered this from elsewhere

You drop word of a 50% off sale by a (I assume) predominantly jazz seller on discogs and don't give out the name of the seller so others can see what is left?

  Yeah, I can pump the brakes on the buying for a while.  I've got plenty of new-to-me stuff to dig into.  

 

So what did YOU order from Honest Jon's???   Out with it!   Don't be shy.   

 

[Eric]

OK, very familiar with the Philadelphia record store, gave it a quick whirl.  $31 (including tax, S&H) bought me this.  Pretty hard-boppy in retrospect, but hey, that is my go to.  Particularly looking forward to the Von Freeman Chicago CD:

Hardbop Quintet - A Mere Bag Of Shells Joshua Breakstone Trio - No One New The Jodie Christian Trio - Reminiscing Brad Goode, Von Freeman - Inside Chicago Vol. 1. Sir Charles Thompson - Robbins' Nest Jim Rotondi - Dark Blue Christian Winther - Blue Function Ryan Kisor - The Sidewinder Tardo Hammer - Tardo's Tempo

If I am going to hop on the Philly music sale I think I have to get into that list tonight ... it was already down around 1500 in the jazz category.  But I don't have time at the moment.
