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

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:

Robert Mazurek With Eric Alexander - Green & Blue

Joshua Breakstone Featuring Tommy Flanagan And Jimmy Knepper - Evening Star

Doug Raney Sextet - Meeting The Tenors

N.Y. 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

A good-looking haul, Eric. :tup

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.

Priorities, Dan!  It all comes down to priorities!  😁

I had that Arnett Cobb in my cart until I verified I did have it, so I am glad you were able to get it. And the Jimmy Smith is a good one too.

Harry Allen Quintet - A Night At Birdland Volume 1 & 2 (Nagel Heyer)

Ben Webster - In a Mellow Tone (Magnum America) - yeah it's a trio I don't know but its $3

Jerry Weldon & Bobby Forrester - The Second Time Around (Cat's Paw)

(I think maybe just tenor and organ? Could be fun.)

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.  :)

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.

@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.
