J*** sale of sorts at Amazon

Posted by: Sloop John B on 26 March 2009

One of the myriad of emails I get from Amazon suggested I may be interested in their Jazz bargains

A great chance to pick up some Miles Davis, Brad Mehldau, Weather Report, John Coletrane and Monk for under a fiver.


And if you only buy one jazz album this year back to back : Ellington/Hodges for a fiver should be it.

Some great choices there, John. I especially love that first Jaco album, also Weather Report Live in Tokyo ... unlike any other WR album, except that a few tracks were previously released on I Sing the Body Electric. Well worth having the whole thing.

Enjoy!

Best,
Fred

Well I have you to thank Fred for introducing me to Weather Report and used the sale as an opportunity to flesh out my collection.

It was only a month or so ago I searched out that post again so I was primed when I saw some Weather Report appearing in the sale. Unlike some (in fact many) albums I buy I find myself returning to Weather Report at regular intervals.


So once again, thanks.


John

Worth comparing individual CDs between Amazon, HMV and also Play, despite what some saying they have a sale, and others not.

Bought four last night night, 2 at Play, 1 at Amazon marketplace, and a box set at HMV.

Jamie,
Thats what i did this morning.
I got all my Miles from HMV. Cool

I think HMV did the best prices for Miles Davis, but not the others on last night's programme.
What did you get?
