This is bad news. Last time they had this sale (last month,) I blew my budget on 20-30 cds. Bad, bad, bad...

I did not behave responsibly and am trying to focus on the fact that I saved $350 off the list price rather than the fact that I purchased over 30 CD's!!

It's not working, but I too thank jazzcourier for the heads up.

Cha-Ching! Thanks for the heads up on this one!

All this PLUS remastered Beatles in one week!? I'll need to take a week's vacation just to listen to all of this terrific music. Heaven ... I'm in heaven ...

I am back on "the list" going over a few things i missed. Some of the great Blues from Prestige-Lightnin' Hopkins and a few John Lee Hooker items .Those "Bluesville" anthologies are very good-the "Chicago" collection with Otis Spann,Homesick James,Billy Boy Arnold and James Cotton is just superb. There are two GREAT cd's i will recommend-"LISTEN HERE" Eddie Palmieri-this was on Concord (4.98) a wonderful Latin Jazz session that leans more to the Jazz side with John Scofield on electric and acoustic guitar,Mike Brecker on tenor saxophone and Regina Carter on violin .This is a magical session that spotlights Palmieri's exceptional piano work and is one of the best recorded cd's i have ever heard,with amazing instrument placement in the soundstage and phenomenal depth and percussion detail speaker to speaker. This came out in 2005 and has gone through a number of systems and speakers and always delights!
Tenor Saxophone master Ben Webster was a stalwart of the Duke Ellington band in the 1930's and early 40's. Later in his career he gravitated to small groups and simplicity .His reputation was built on his incomparable ballad playing. The warmth of his tone was all black velvet,you heard and felt the breath rushing through his mouthpiece on every well placed note.The original BEN WEBSTER "AT THE RENAISSANCE" was a so,so recording issued years ago. A spur of the moment session with less than ideal location recording circumstances but with a fantastic performance by Ben. This early 60's session's master tapes were discovered a few years ago and STEREO masters were in one of the boxes and hence issued on this cd with unreleased bonus tracks. After the levels are set(you hear in on the first track with the engineer rushing to get a balance) the band just coasts under Ben as he spins his improvisations. You can really hear his fabulous tenor tone on these newly discovered stereo masters. It is a great band with Ben's favorite pianist Jimmy Rowles,guitarist Jim Hall,Red Mitchell on bass and drummer Frank Butler.The stereo edition of this recording is outstanding with an amazing ambiance that turns the soundstage into the nightclub.It is a mesmerizing performance, and is on "the list" at 4.98.

If by cutout you mean there is a big notch taken out of the cd case, then yes.

jazzcourier,

On you super-detailed recommendation, I went back and got Eddie Palmieri "Listen Here" & Ben Webster "At The Renaissance". Actually two copies of each, and now I have one Christmas gift checked off the list. Tanx again!

For those of you new to the oldies.com experience, FYI, the last (only) time I ordered, they split my shipment up into 3 or 4 shipments due to availability issues.
