For all you guys that want good jazz you need to go to estate auctions. There is almost always a large collection of records whenever I go and I'm usually the buyer. Yeah, you gotta go through them and toss out the Mitch Millers and such but the older jazz lp's are almost always pristine and full of great music. Don't make the mistake of tossing records that tout stereo effect or percussion. These usually contain some great jazz by well known musicians. The mono recordings are just too good. So good that I wish I had a turntable set up with a mono cartridge. I never miss the stereo effect when playing them. Rarely do I find any jazz after 1970 so if that's what you're searching for you will likely be disappointed.
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???
