Fresh Grabs

I haven't posted here in several months, so please bare with me. This is gonna be a big one and probably confrontational for me considering how much I bought šŸ˜…

First of all two boxsets. One is a 10LP Nat King Cole Trio set from Resonance records. Highly recommend for fans of Nat and his trio, although quite expensive (per lp it isn't too bad, but as a whole set it is). Second one is a Japanese Jazz box from the label Three Blind Mice. I have to give a huge, and I mean huge, shoutout to @HuddieLedbetter, who personally delivered this set to me in Amsterdam. Saved me a ton in shipping and custom charges.

Second are some random pickups and a few BFRSD items that I could get in Europe. First are two J-Jazz reissues from BBE: Makoto Terashita Meets Harold Land - Topology and Miyasaka + 5 - Animals Garden. I also got the Willie Colon Christmas record, with my favourite salsa track La Murga. I have been on the look out for that JJ Cale and Eric Clapton record forever, so very happy I finally found it. The John Lee Hooker album is a live album they reissued for BFRSD. Great stuff. Wilson Pickett I just bought for the cover. The Parker Jam Session compiles all the jam sessions Charlie Parker did with Bennie Carter and Johnny Hodges for Norman Granz in the 50s. Incredible line up besides the three Alto legends: Buddy Rich, Ben Webster, Oscar Peterson, Barney Kessel and Ray Brown, just to name a few. Finally, Bill Evans - The Village Vanguard Sessions combines the classic Waltz for Debby and Sunday at the Village Vanguard into a double LP package. From what i've read the most cost effective way to get a good AAA pressing of both albums.

Third are all of the BN80 and Tone Poets I've picked up recently

The last group are my recent VMP pickups. Probably my last after the debacle of the last few months. Just have one more month left on my plan.

Grant Green - Grant's First Stand. This just sounds so good and feels great when you hold the record. Blue Note did a great job with this. Rabbit hole commencing.
