I am on the Jazz wagon for awhile,,,or until broke

Well, i went to the Wax N' Things in Atlanta and came away with the following:
1. This was a risk, as I dont know the guy, but I was intrigued and it was Direct to Disk and mentions using a Neumann VG-66 cutting amplifiers that purred,,so I said, what the heck!! Its guitarrist Tommy Tedesco's AUTUMN, recorded in 1978 by the Trend label.
I am listening to it right now, and I am enjoying it quite a bit,,,vey clean sound. (plus i love it when they use paper lined with plastic inner sleeves.

2. Lionel Hampton's Golden Vibes with reeds and rythm,,by Coumbia, Its a 6 eyes mono (CL 1304) red label...the vinyl appears to have never been played,,,only the jacket shows age...

3. Charles Mingus AH UM,,,Columbia 6 Eyes,,,red label (CS 8171) vinyl and label are super mint...

4. Dave Brubek's Time Out by the DB Quartet,,,Columbia 6 eyes (CS 8192),,,there was a reissue also, but the cover wasnt as sturdy nor the vinyl, so I went with the original...for 2.50 more...

How many of you have the willpower to leave a cool LP at the store???

I have started to collect Jazz as well. Fortunately I have a buddy who is a highly trained musician and one hell of trombone player. He has helped me compile a list of "must have" jazz records so for now I only buy what is on that list. He has also been very good at explaining to me what all of these jazz masters were trying to do on each LP. That has really helped me develop an interest in jazz. Someday I'll have to establish a friendship with a person who really knows their classics! :)

I openly admit that I cannot pass any LP that is interesting to me as long as it passes my visual inspection. Especially, Blue Notes.
