Some finds at Shake It Records in Cincinnati, which is legitimately one of the best record stores I've ever been to in terms of price, organization, and selection. Afghan Whigs was because I like to get one local artist in every city. Kenny Burrell/Gil Evans collaboration is *extremely* my thing

Not a bit, not a joke: I didn't see the "and" on the first read of this headline and was INCREDIBLY horrified and confused.

when you're Duck

Found this a thrift store yesterday. It's just fingerpicking guitar and incredibly relaxing. Thought it would be a St. Patty's-only album, but it's good for the other 364 days, too.

Just had a friend show up at my door with three Swervedriver records that he got with points from donating blood. My recommendation is that you also get a friend like this.

Hand to heart, I swear on a stack of Sabbath records, this was the album I was listening to right before playing Wordle yesterday. Wasn't even thinking about it when I made my guesses.

Also, I don't know who needs this information, but Doc Severinsen covered King Crimson on this album. Side 2 is the Abbey Road medley. He'll always be the Johnny Carson guy to everyone under the age of 70, but he was cool as hell.

lmao, i would have waited. oh well, still cool to have the original

Found a super clean copy of this at a Goodwill today. It's been on my wantlist forever. I would have paid up for it a long time ago if I'd known that John Coltrane and Doc Severinsen played on the same track.

Amoeba's bargain bin doesn't surprise that often, but it surprises enough. This is an incredible album that came with a bonus gift (a reminder to watch Inside Llewyn Davis again).

ooooh. how is the quality (in terms of sound and performance)?

I just put this on, and now my Spoon records are all warped what the hell

MARKETING EXEC: Boss, I got a great idea for a tie-in. "Jazz & Blues." Get it, J&B? It'll highlight ...

MBA WHO GOT HIS JOB THROUGH FAMILY CONNECTIONS: Borrrr-ing. Blues is dead as dead. I saw something about this one guy the other day, though, maybe we can get him to personally endorse us.

Blue Note sent these in a box with no packing. Completely rawdogged it. There wasn't single dent on any of them. I'm not sure how many FedEx employees handled it along the way, but I want to kiss each one.

Was in line at Disneyland five minutes after the rest of my family bought $70 sweatshirts. Got a Black Friday email from Blue Note to tell me that the Tone Poets were $30 off.

Might have gone overboard. Zero regrets.

it might be the best album, period. jazz, seasonal, or otherwise. but I'm biased.

I have both of those! But if I have a top 10 of records I get excited about every year, it's something like ...

Well, that's not nearly as much fun.

Can't score if you don't shoot.

This the best album of all time*.

* if you're limited to pretentious, ridiculous, and beautifully silly prog albums that you can find for $2 on Discogs right now.

i forgot to throw this record into a volcano. it's still in my garage. everything is my fault. everything is my fault. everything is my fault.
