Jazz CD/Vinyl Purchases

Well it's looking like a good week for music! Just received this in the mail from a sale thread on this very forum! dizzy Reece "star bright" classic records mono edition

 

Filling in holes in my Bill Evans collection:

 

Last 10, all on vinyl:

Gato Barbieri – The Third World (Flying Dutchman, Promo, US, 1970)
Herbie Hancock – Flood (CBS/Sony, 2nd press, Japan, 1977)
John Zorn – The Big Gundown (Nonesuch, US, 1986)
Jackie McClean – Hipnosis (Blue Note, US, 1978)
Jackie McLean – Jacknife (Blue Note, US, 1975)
Sam Rivers – Involution (Blue Note, US, 1975)
Hank Mobley, Billy Root, Curtis Fuller, Lee Morgan – Another Monday Night At Birdland (Roulette, US, 1959, Mono)
Bill Evans Trio – Everybody Digs Bill Evans (Riverside, US, 1959, Stereo)
Donald Smith ft. Cecil McBee, Jack DeJohnette – Luv (Whynot/Trio, Japan, 1976)
Duke Pearson – Sweet Honey Bee (Blue Note, US, 1971, Liberty)

 

Whoa! Serious haul alert.
I love jackknife, this is the double lp right? Hard to believe a
Lot of that material was shelved...
Good work on that Bill Evans orignal! I have it as well but there is groove wear on the final track. Bummer

 

Jacknife is superb and sounds good too. I usually pass on Blue Note twofers, but took a chance on these three and don’t regret one bit.

Speaking of Bill Evans, believe it or not, my copy also has a groove wear on Epilogue. It’s 40 seconds long, but still annoying considering the rest is NM. Odd coincidence.

 

I think because it's very close to the label and is solo Piano so they cut the signal extra hot. It probably plagues many copies of this title. In my old records, it's usually bad news when there is a ballad close to the label. I'm nuts about Bill, I have this one in mono and stereo

 

Just received it today. Can't wait until the end of Jan 2019 to get it.

 

Got some used Mosaic sets earlier this week:

The Complete Django Reinhardt and Quintet of the Hot Club of France Swing/HMV Sessions (Mosaic 6xCD)



The Complete Atlantic and EMI Jazz Recordings of Shorty Rogers (Mosaic 6xLP)



The Complete Candid Recordings of Charles Mingus (Mosaic 4xLP)



...and last weekend I also got this RSD release:

Eric Dolphy - Musical Prophet (Resonance Records)

 

Nice haul, @dzhason! Shorty Rogers is such an underrated trumpeter, IMHO. I’ll have to look and see if I own all of that Mingus.

 

Just bought:

Continued:



Miles Davis: The Complete On The Corner Sessions

 

That was a short lived hiatus from purchasing!

I know the feeling

Edit- I don't have any of these later mccoy Tyner albums. I have to get them

 

Yeah, a very short lived hiatus indeed. I should just learn that I need to quit saying words that I’ll sooner or later eat.

 

I have a local record/CD store that unfortunately (for my wallet) carries current ECM releases along with a lot of used CDs. Last time I was there a month or so back I went on a bit on an ECM binge:







All three of them are excellent.

Also picked this one up recently, definitely not the ECM "house sound":

 

McCoy is worth it!

I got this one last week. Maybe Corea's first appearance? Don't quote me on that one.

 

I’m not sure if that’s Chick Corea’s first appearance (very well could be), but I think Blue Mitchell is a fantastic player. Loved his work with Horace Silver.

 

I own all of these bootleg boxes and I hope to one day be able to dig into them. Great stuff. Let me know what you think of it when you get around to it.

 

Working my way through this. Fantastic.

 

Indeed. Miles’ Prestige stuff is great, IMHO.

 

This is my favorite of the first three bootleg series volumes for sure. The sound quality is superb and the music is, well, incredible.

 

Just bought:



Once I receive this set and The Complete On The Corner Sessions, I’ll own all of the Columbia Miles sets.

 

Come on people, I know I’m not the only one buying jazz albums!

Thread duty -



Offramp and Bright Size Life are two of my favorite albums from Metheny (I’d probably add Watercolors in there as well, but too bad it’s not available in this ECM hybrid SACD series). I figured I’d better jump on these two titles because you just never know when they’ll be OOP.

 

Stocked up on some Frisell I was missing:
