Local record shop free jazz overload!
 

So I just got back from my local music shop and fuck! Usually tehy never have anything, sometimes a few things from Atavistic records. Right now they've got a ton of new used shit. Five Brotzmann(one of which I bought for 18 bucks, worth it), a bunch of Mats Gustafson, Sun Ra, Tim Berne(not really free jazz but what ever) Ken Vandermark and The Vandermark 5. Along with a bunch of stuff I can't remember.

I spent 30 minutes trying to decide which Brotzmann to get, reading the booklets. Some of the stuff is expensive though, the FMP stuff the one I got was the cheapest. Even online though it's big money. Wish I had more than $20 to spend.

Edit:

Super-Sonic Jazz
Secrets of the sun

Not a large collection in any means but considering they usually have nothing.

yeah but still. Most rec stores I encounter have pretty weak free jazz sections.

Yeah, very true. The place I go to Bull Moose Music is pretty rad. Theres about five stores in the state I reside, but they're all about underground so they get a lot of good stuff from time to time.

Plus the town I am from there is maybe five people besides my self that listens to free jazz and bother to even look there.

Oh I forgot about the Joe McPhee stuff they had.

the vandermark 5 are fucking awesome.

I was surprised that I only recognized one of theirs.

nice

you live in Maine.

I've been to Bull Moose's in Sanford, Portland and Bath (and Portsmouth NH). They have great prices.

its funny the wife is away and i was thinking about taking a trip up to maine to go record shopping at bull moose, strange maine and time lag but i dropped mad cash on the following today at twisted village, in your ear and cheapo in cambridge ...

the fugs - first album (mint on esp disk)
grateful dead - anthem of the sun, s/t & live/dead (w/ sweet insert)
sun ra - nubians of plutonia
bob dylan - nashville skyline
jane's addiction - ritual de la habitual

now after finding out you found a free jazz motherload i wish i held out! well at least endless boogie is here tomorrow night!

i used to have a house in maine, some mountain, fuck if i can remember which one though. my dad bought it as an investment, we used it for one winter, realized we dont really like skiing, and sold it, so my pop could make a little cash though. im from cape cod, mass though.

haha, thats was the worst writing ive ever seen, though. sorry everybody, im massivly wasted on budweiser and pot.

Yeah, their prices are very reasonable.
