I'm a freak...

I went and got the last of the cds that I wanted from A&B Sound today...

Benny Goodman - 1935 (CC)
Lincoln Jazz Center Orchestra - Live at Swing City
Duke Ellington - The Small Bands Vol. 1 (2 discs)
Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra - Smoke Rings

If I didn't clean them out of everything I wanted, I probably would have got more...thankfully that's not the case or I would go broke.

I just found the Artie Shaw Self Portrait for half price. Happy Happy DJ. That counts for five of the last 10 CDs.

Good stuff, I have that too, there's some good stuff on there for sure, it was what pretty much completed my Artie Shaw collection for me.

And for today's purchase's...

Anthology of Big Band Swing

Jack Teagerden - Texas Tea Party

Teddy Wilson - I Want To Be Happy

Wynton Marsallis - Mr. Jelly Roll (I bought it only for Black Bottom Stomp, but then I found an awesome recording thing they did for Tom Cat Blues, they used an old recording studio that hadn't been used since the beginning of the century, it is rad)

Louis Armstrong Hot Five and Hot Seven Volume I (I figure it might be a good idea to have some Pops in my collection by now.)

Yeah, I'm pumped to hear it myself. I just ordered it, and it should be here by the end of the week.

Apparently it's a 3 LP English reissue that includes the original Echoes and More Echoes and a third album that i'd never heard of called Boogie Woogie. The guy didn't have the albums any more, but he had made a "backup" to CD that he's sending me. I'll let you know when I hear it.

At SFLX there was a field trip to Down Home Music and Amoeba Records and everyone spent way too much on music. But great stuff was found by all.

hahaha...i know what you mean. although i think Iain is probably the top dog, not including Nathan's side trips. right now i don't even want to go on the same street with a cd store :-).

Although i'm glad i found copies of the Metronome All Stars box set, the Willie Bryant Chronological Classic, and Basie's Rock-a-bye Basie with live sets from '38 and '39 since i try to resist ordering on-line.

save lots of money cause there are two in the area, one in SF and one in Berkeley. And you definitely want to hit Down Home Records too, it's small but full of great stuff. And the staff are real experts.
