Jazz Record Center

Okay, well, I did pretty good considering I had over 10,000 records at my disposal. It was tough to go in there. I managed to get out for under $100 US which I think is pretty dam impressive. Harold Mabern - Rakin and Scrapin, a 1969 session with Mabes, Blue Mitchell on trumpet, George Coleman on tenor sax, Bill Lee on bass and Hugh Walker on drums. I love Harold Mabern but have to confess I bought this record because myself and Ian are trying to get Mabes out to Vancouver in May and this is a perfect record for him to sign. Soul Of The Bible with The Nat Adderley Sextet presented by Cannonball. An intriguing record that has just been re-issued and there is very little info on the cover and its sealed and I haven't opened it yet. According to Fred its a later period Cannonball record and before it was re-issued it was one of his most sought after records. The Art Farmer Quartet feat. Jim Hall Live at The Half Note. This record looks like a dandy and I have never really checked out Art Farmer all that much but this was a great period in his career, and finally, The Jazztet at Birdhouse in Chicago, 1961 featuring Benny Golson and Art Farmer. Its a drag I can't listen to them until I get home but hey, it gives me something to look forward to.

I went to Virgin and managed to walk away and then went to the Apple Store. Apologies in advance to people who are reading this on their PC. Apple is where its at, plain and simple. This store is so heavy I can't even tell you. I bought iLife 06 and am looking forward to using the podcasting feature on it for future radio shows!

Thats it for now.
