What music did you buy today?

[JSngry]

That Philadelphia site is chock full of jazz records by female vocalists who do their damnedest to make alluring cover photos. How good they actually sing. I couldn't tell. 

Fortunately there were also a buttload of Sue Rainey sides. Known quantity on all counts!

Someone here on the forum was discussing Raney a while back -- it might've been you, Jim -- so I snagged one of her CDs.

Pierre Dørge & New Jungle Orchestra - Even The Moon Is Dancing (CD, Album) (SteepleChase - SCCD-31208)
The Modern Jazz Quartet - European Concert (CD, RE) (Label M - 495721)

Both of these are full-on FIVE STAR discs, imo.

Ha ha.  I had the same reaction (to the first half of your post).

Sue Raney has serious skills. She's one of those singers who makes everything sound easy when in fact what and how she sings is anything but easy. You know, she comes off as all sunny and bright and non-threatening, but really listening to her is like DAMN, that woman is dealing! 

I also noticed that that site had a lot of the Audiophile label, which had a lot of records by really good singers who were jazz-adjacent, at the least. Being on a fixed income these days, I resisted the temptation to load up, but if anybody likes that sort of thing, hey, carpe diem.

@Pim - INCREDIBLE haul. So many amazing LPs.  

 

 

[mjazzg]

@Pim that's practically a collection in itself, are there any LPs left in Japan?! 

I can't help but be intrigued by the Bob Cooper 

[Pim]

@mjazzg I am pretty sure I’ve had the last ones  thanks @HutchFan 

I almost never order anything in Europe anymore for the insane prices that were always on eBay and are now at Discogs as well. So I make a big order twice a year in Japan and save up money for those every month. I calculated and this order cost me 20 euros a piece including shipping etc. That’s very acceptable.

For example: the Sonny Rollins (VG+/VG+) cost 3 dollars…. Most of the Tyners: 5 dollars… Now hoping it will arrive in one piece of course. Fingers crossed! I always feel truly happy when they actually are delivered at my door.

Two great records, but poor description on discogs. The Sykes in particular is in very poor condition.

Poor grading, such a pain

Today's arrivals, hoping they're well graded

[Rabshakeh]

[mjazzg]

Are they considered so, I had no idea.  that's good to hear. I just took a Discogs punt as they scratch a musical itch

[Rabshakeh]

The series is great. I don't know all of these specifically.

The seller has three others so these may be just the first instalment 

[T.D.]

[Rabshakeh]

Stan Levey – Grand Stan

Blue Mitchell – Blue's Moods

Both from Flashbacks on the Essex Road in London, which appears to have recently bought a large collection of bop stuff from. 50s-90s and is selling it off at pretty good prices. Worth checking out for any Londoners in here.

[mjazzg]

Thanks for the tip off. 

[Rabshakeh]

It's quite Steeplechasey but there's lots there. New up and down.
