Stopped at an unfamiliar Half Price Books and found:

three used CDs for $8 each:

Cal Tjader's Latin Concert (OJC) (with Vince Guaraldi, Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria and Al McKibben--the best recording I've ever heard from Tjader)

Sonny Stitt--MCA/Chess reissue of his first Argo LP.

Ahmad Jamal--Nature (with Othello Molineaux on steel drums)

and two new Xanadu's for $5 each

Shorty Rogers and Art Pepper--Popo

J.R. Monterose--Straight Ahead.

I've been meaning to get the Wes set for a while. I have some of it on vinyl on an Affinity release called "Impressions", so I knew it would be good.

... and it is.

I haven't made my way through the whole thing yet, and I look forward to the cuts with Johnny Griffin. I love "Full House".

As for "Blows Against the Empire". I always liked this album a lot since it came out. I think it might sound a bit dated to someone hearing it for the first time, though. The remaster is a great improvement on the previous CD release. There are some interesting extra tracks, including about 3 radio commercials for the album (which aren't listed in the liners).

It also comes with a mini-reproduction of the lyric booklet that came with the album.

Both albums HIGHLY recommended from me. :tup:cool::tup
