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???

Tommy Tedesco is one of the most-recorded Hollywood studio guitarists. I have never heard his work as a leader.

Mingus Ah Um is a stone classic and one of his best. When I was considerably younger, I was stunned to realize that the theme music of the 'Spiderman' cartoon had been lifted from the riff to "Boogie Stop Shuffle".

Brubeck's Time Out is one of the very top selling jazz albums of all time, and contains two of the most recognizable tunes of its era, "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo A La Turk", featuring the signature sounds of Paul Desmond on sax and Joe Morello on drums.

Not only were the Mingus and Brubeck LP's both issued on Columbia in 1959, they both sported similar abstract modern art cover paintings, always a strong point with me. :-)
