ACT J*** Bargains
Posted by: droodzilla on 09 May 2008
Some nice stuff to be had here:
ACT Jazz Specials
Including the Wollny solo piano album that's getting a lot of play at the moment.
I'll probably order a few of these, along with the new Alboran Trio, and the Chris Beier CD Haim recommended (which sounds great).

I just got my bath of cd's yesterday.
So far I have just listened to Jazz Me Up Vol 2
and it's marvellous. First up it just sounds great. I had thought they had forgotten how to record with such a "groove" by the mid 1980's. Like all compilations there are some tracks that don't do it for me, mainly the vocal ones on this but tracks 1-12 are wonderful.
1. New Conception Of Jazz - 02:53 (Bugge Wesseltoft) - Bugge Wesseltoft
2. Bimoya - 06:27 (Joe Zawinul, Salif Keita) - Joe Zawinul, Salif Keita, Trilok Gurtu
3. Hamlet # Belleforest - 02:57 (Bert Wrede) - Actronic - Bert Wrede
4. Ghetto Horn - 03:16 (Tom Browne) - Tom Browne
5. Dodge The Dodo - 04:36 (Esbjörn Svensson, Dan Berglund, Magnus Öström) - e.s.t. Esbjörn Svensson Trio
6. Metrocafé - 06:01 (Mitchel Forman) - Metro: Chuck Loeb, Mitchel Forman, Victor Bailey, Wolfgang Haffner
7. Funny (All She Needs Is Love) - 05:12 (Marcus Miller, Boz Scaggs / Marcus Miller) - Marcus Miller, Everette Harp, Michael "Patches" Stewart
8. Amaliya - 03:38 (Karim Ziad) - Karim Ziad, Nguyên Lê, Bojan Z.
9. It Was A Very Good Year - 06:17 (Ervin Drake / Lenny White) - Lenny White, Dianne Reeves
10. Six Beauties on a Rooftop - 03:45 (Esbjörn Svensson) - Nils Landgren Funk Unit, Fred Wesley, Don Alias
11. Para Chick - 03:50 (Chano Dominguez) - Gerardo Núñez, Chano Dominguez
12. Pa' Lo' Latino - 05:37 (Tony Martínez) - Tony Martínez & The Cuban Power, Gonzalo Rubalcaba
13. Fill U Up - 04:04 (Magnum Coltrane Price) - Nils Landgren Funk Unit, Magnum Coltrane Price
14. Da Fonk - 04:12 (Magnum Coltrane Price) - Nils Landgren, Roy Hargrove
15. Maceo's Groove - 05:12 (Maceo Parker) - Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley
16. Nach Hause - 01:53 (Annette Humpe, Anselm Kluge) - Bassme: Ingolf Burkhardt, Peter Weniger, Annette Humpe, Anselm Kluge
Thanks for the link again, it's great to find music that you just never knew existed. I'm looking forward to listening to the others as the week progresses.
