Recent Jazz Vinyl Finds: October 2022

[@143GADGETS]

Stellar pickups as usual! Search for the new land is my fav Lee Morgan album as well. I’d pick Night Dreamer over Speak No Evil though. Can’t wait to see the grails.

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thank you sir - the grails are pretty insane. Excited to hear your mono cart buddy! ~Jason

[@fwrarejazzvinylcollector]

Very nice stuff. Basra, I mean dear lord. Impossible to find. Huge congrats on that and the others! 🤓👍🏻

[@TheJazzBasement]

Hi Fredrik - thanks for the kind words! ~ Jason

[@tunesfromthemancave2564]

Great stuff as usual my friend! Covid smacked the shit out of me as well. All killer no filler here! Extremely jealous of the Everybody Digs Bill Evans!

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thanks man. I thought you’d be jelly of Speak No Evil, but the Bill Evans is killer too. ~Jason

[@londonrecordlover965]

Jason - missed you! Glad to hear Covid is in the rear view mirror for you now. The fact that you were in the Jazz Basement for 3 days and did not play a record says everything - not fun. Loved seeing your latest pick-ups, I admire your focus and high standards! Thanks for the tip on the Basra record, I must keep an eye out (for a reissue!). Greetings from London.

[@TheJazzBasement]

Hey! Btw I was in London a few weeks ago but didn’t get a chance to dig. Def try to find any copy of Basra - you won’t be disappointed! ~Jason

[@TheJazzHog]

Btw, I was able to find a promo copy of Elvin Jones “Heavy Sounds” on impulse. I have been wearing it out! If you are not aware of this record stream it. I think you will like it.

[@TheJazzBasement]

That is awesome! I am familiar with that album but do not have it yet. Have not seen one in the wild in DC. Killer pickup! And a promo! ~ Jason

[@TheJazzHog]

@@TheJazzBasement Question: are promo’s always og first or did they also make promo for repress’s? Love your channel except for one thing……not enough videos 😊

[@TheJazzBasement]

I think most promos are from the first press as giveaways to radio stations and other influencers at the time. That said, I do have one or two promos that are not from the first press era. So I guess anything is possible! More videos to come I promise! ~Jason

[@karimtabrizi376]

any grant green on BN Lp's draws my attention! He was amazing

[@TheJazzBasement]

Agree 100%

[@chilledj]

Glad to have you back, sir! Always enjoyed your jazz- focused vinyl finds and stories.

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thank you kindly! ~Jason

[@Jamko1970]

Those are some great finds! Love the clean Art Blakey 1st press.

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thanks for the note! ~ Jason

[@jimmccloskey4254]

Enjoyed the vid, make more each week.

[@TheJazzBasement]

Hi Jim - thanks…trying to do more consistent videos when I have time. Thanks for watching! ~Jason

[@roccodimarco549]

[@TheJazzBasement]

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thanks man! Agree on all of the above. ~Jason

[@davidhenly804]

Hey brother! Great to have you back and glad you're feeling better! Nice lineup. And I have you to thank for my own OG copy of DG's "Our Man in Paris." You encouraged me to pull the trigger when I was digging on a trip to Florida and stumbled across one. Seemed a bit pricey but a few texts with you allayed my fears. Love it! Thanks again for all your help and encouragement in getting me going on the right track with my slowly growing jazz collection. Now we just need to get you 58 more subscribers so we can see all the other great records!! Cheers!

[@TheJazzBasement]

Yes I was a little jealous when you found that stack in Florida. Glad you jumped on it - it really was a good deal. ~ Jason

[@davidhenly804]

@@TheJazzBasement Don't get me started on the whole "jealousy" thing! 😂

[@dougdorsey1666]

Welcome back🎉

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thanks Doug! Glad to be back at it. ~Jason

[@recordfan]

Nice to see your updates again. Was curious - what stores should I go to around you? I will be in Washington DC before Christmas.

[@TheJazzBasement]

Hi - here are some that I frequent and typically have good to excellent jazz selection : HR Records Som Records Joint Custody DC Record Exchange of Silver Spring On any given day they can be hit or miss depending on what you are looking for. But over time they are where have the most success for quality jazz.

[@recordfan]

@@TheJazzBasement awesome thanks for the tips. happy to see you posting again!

[@TheJazzHog]

Great finds! I am so jealous that you live in an area that collections like that can be found. The only records around me are classic rock, country, and religious records….sad to say no jazz ! What kind of ultrasonic system do you have? Homemade, degritter…etc…. Are you happy with it? I have the kirmuss system…..not for sure if I like it yet. Just curious. Mark

[@TheJazzBasement]

Hi Mark - Yes DC is awesome for jazz, it’s crazy to see what ends up at various shops etc. very lucky in that regard, nah I would say spoiled. I have a degritter….I love it. It’s expensive, but I think I’ve gotten my money out of it. I also looked at the Kirmuss. Do you use a surfactant? That really helps the process. ~Jason

[@asupremelove5149]

Hey Jason! Glad you are feeling better my dude. Yeah Rona can be a bitch . I just got over being sick myself . As far as the bar goes I completely understand. My take now is if an album is very loud I'll do solid vg+. If it's a quieter album I try to go for higher. Bill Evans Undercurrent being a perfect example. I'd be interested in the Blakey potentially. I've needed a copy of that album for ages. Congrats on the Shorter! That's very high on my list. As far as the wear goes I'm going to DM you about what you can do to clean that front cover up. Welcome back!

[@TheJazzBasement]

Thanks Tree! Hollar at me. ~Jason

[@johncrabb4053]

Hey Jason. Are you and Chris from the man cave not putting out any more videos. I’ve asked Chris but haven’t gotten a response. Miss you guys.

[@TheJazzBasement]

I am very much still putting out videos! I need to put one asap! Not sure about Chris - I think he is still doing videos. ~Jason

[@drewweissmann1486]

What's up Jason? I've been doing pretty well collecting. Where have you been?

[@TheJazzBasement]

Hey - all good here. Been busy with some other things, but still plan on doing videos. ~Jason

[@drewweissmann1486]

Awesome, look forward to seeing what you've picked up lately.

[@TheBluRayCritic]

So that’s it for The Jazz Basement, no more new updates? I hope not.

[@TheJazzBasement]

No still doing videos - life got a bit in the way last few months. Going to put out a video in the next day or so. Not to be missed! ~Jason

[@TheBluRayCritic]

@@TheJazzBasement Great, looking forward to it. Cheers! - Chris

[@jerryandlisa27]

Have you sold your extra copy of Moaning ? I'm interested

[@TheJazzBasement]

Not yet - shoot me a note…thejazzbasement @gmail

[@awrogers3013]

I have one of those Wayne records. Very hard to find. One of the priciest. Released right before the liberty deal..

[@TheJazzBasement]

Yeah I almost never see pre Liberty Wayne Shorter stuff.
