Better late then never to take advantage of the Concord Blowout:

Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor

Walter Bishop, Jr. Trio - The Walter Bishop, Jr. Trio

Hampton Hawes Trio - Hampton Hawes Trio, Vol. 1

Bobby Jaspar Quartet - Bobby Jasper/George Wallington

Teo Macero - With The Prestige Jazz Quartet

Al Sears - Swing's The Thing

Freddie Redd Trio - San Francisco Suite

Duke Ellington - The Ellington Suites

Sonny Rollins - Plus 4

How did I do guys?

Well, you spent $71.82 for 9 CDs, when you could have picked up 12 CDs for $71.76, or 20 CDs for $79.60, or 30 CDs for $89.40. :rolleyes: But leaving your financial choice aside :P , you picked a very nice selection. :tup

Joe turner is one of many guys who I didn't buy too much of, because I thought I'd always be able to get his recordings. But I never thought they be issuing boxed sets of his early cuts. Today, I decided it was time to get this

B0009XPB3Y.02._SS500_SCLZZZZZZZ_V1119253375_.jpg

What a compilation! It covers nearly everything he recorded between the Spirituals to Swing concert in December 1938 to "Shake, rattle & roll" in 1954. Perfect, and crucial recordings.

Actually Ron, when it was all said and done the total including shipping came to $62.32. Believe me, I would have loved to have bought 20 or even better 30. The problem would be explaining it to the wife when she saw me hauling in the loot. :D

Hmmmmmm . . . that doesn't seem to add up, if 9 or fewer CDs are $7.98 each. But I certainly understand the wife situation. :rolleyes: BOY, do I understand! :unsure::ph34r:

Postman turned up this morning with TWO packages. This was in the first, a big LP-sized box from Dusty Groove:

Bill Doggett with the James Brown band. Thanks to Jim for telling me it was available and where.

In the other package was 3 CDs from CD Universe

c07514o5kjx.jpg Thanks to Paul (I think it was) who let me know where to get this one.

Red-Garland-Manteca-369989.jpg

Listened to the Red Garland already! Smashing groovy stuff!

And so's the Cobb and the Jones is as wonderful as all her albums. Going to start on the Doggett after I've made some bread.

Was tempted to pick the Dakota Stanton and the Chris Connors form the same "The Great Jazz Vocal Collection" series, but I resisted... for now!

What are these? (Oh God, not more CDs!)

MG

Dakota Stanton - Dynamic! (Capitol)

Chris Connor - At the Village Gate (Roulette)

No idea if there are more reissues on this "Great Jazz Vocal" collection by EMI.

Thanks. Managing to resist the temptation. Must get more Staton, however the one I want most doesn't seem to be around anywhere.
