mortenso Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 "In a silent way" is so freaking amazing. Got the Music On Vinyl pressing, which isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 On RSD I raided the used bins in a few shops and walked away with a 1st pressing of Blue Note 1501 (Miles Davis) for $10. From a store that specializes in jazz. Don't know how that one happened but I sure ain't complainin somethingvinyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I found this on Record Store Day. Apparently the shop owner ordered it by accident. I scooped it up quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oh shit, I was just listening to that last night, had no idea is was an RSD release. $33 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youinreverse Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oh shit, I was just listening to that last night, had no idea is was an RSD release. $33 though? Music on Vinyl reissues are generally pretty pricey. It it justifies it any, it's a European import. I saw it on Bull Moose for $27 the other day. I don't know if they still have it though. It was limited to either 1,000 or 1,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbruise Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Right on, I'll still be on the lookout for a cheap used one. I'm sure discogs has a few. Good record though! Who ever recommended it in here is on point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Placebo: nice! Just picked that one, and also 1973 up today at the local record store. It was also around $27 a piece here, so not much cheaper as in the US. Great great tunes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I went to The Record Krate at midnight the night of RSD and scooped up some sweet used buy one get one jazz titles!Cannonball Adderley - Fiddler on the Roof JJ Johnson Quintet - JJ In Person Kenny Burrell - Guitar Forms Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - 3 Blind Mice Jimmy Smith - Hobo Flats Jimmy Smith - The Fantastic Jimmy Smith Jimmy Smith - Swings Along with Stranger in Paradise Sonny Rollins - Sonny Rollins Oscar Peterson, Stephanie Grapelli, Poe Pass, Mickey Roker, Niels Henning Orsted-Pedersen - Skol Charlie Parker - Night & Day Charles Mingus - The Clown Milt Jackson - Bags' Opus Django Reinhardt - Django Reinhardt and not jazz, but I grabbed Hound Dog Taylor & the House Rockers - Genuine Houserocking Music and since I apparently don't remember how to link pictures from Flickr properly... https://flic.kr/p/niKKna https://flic.kr/p/ngHi9L https://flic.kr/p/niMWJ3 https://flic.kr/p/ngHfyq https://flic.kr/p/nitf87 https://flic.kr/p/nite5A https://flic.kr/p/ngHc37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamfletty Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Also, these placebo reissues are only the second official pressings. There are bootlegs around. I had one once, didn't sound too bad, but nothing beats the official pressings. The first pressings cost way too much, so be sure to pick up the official reissue.

Youinreverse Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I heard a few songs by Django Reinhardt the other day and enjoyed them. Where's a good place in his discography to start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any 'best of' will do, but especially the ones with the Quintette Du Hot Club de France are great! You know what, get this compilation: http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-complete-django-reinhardt-quintet-of-the-hot-club-of-france-swing-hmv-sessions-mw0000964556 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameeshkamowskwoz Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Django is outstanding and you can't really go wrong. The hardest part with buying/collecting jazz is that so many titles are compilations.I'm trying really hard to just buy actual albums so I don't have a bunch of recurring tracks on various LPs.

pamfletty Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Woody Allen made a movie with Sean Penn, loosely based on the life of Django: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158371/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 So I finally got around to listening to the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey RSD release Millions - Live in Denver and holy shit does it kick ass. I'm already pretty obsessed with the band, but it's about time they released a live album on vinyl. Anybody else pick it up and check it out?

paranoidantroyd Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Has anyone picked up any of the new Blue Note "75" presses? Just wondering if they're as terrible as the Scorpion Blue Note shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 11 pages and no mention of Ethio-jazz? Sheesh. Ethiopian jazz is such a small segment of the genre. But you mentioned it so the injustice has been unwritten. lexicondevil and rtw88 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
