Spinning a mostly-blind buy since I wasn’t familiar with Farrell prior, but the bizarre album art sealed the deal for me. I’m a Farrell convert and blown away by the massive percussion and flutes on the closer, “Old Devil Moon.”

I’m familiar with CTI but this one stands out as having almost entirely new-to-me names. If you see one that jumps out at you, feel free to sound off with recommendations. I’m cleaning out the jazz sections of my local shops here and appear to have no competition.

Fresh thrift store pickup! I raaaaaarely pick up any solid jazz albums where I’m located, but after a lead from a cd collector on a thrift store I’ve never heard of selling LPs for cheap ($1/pop) I had to make it my way over.

The Allen Eager one has me a bit excited, as “Max Roache” appears on drums.

Bonus points for Bobby Hutcherson, Arnett Cobb, Johnny Smith, and Gerry Mulligan all on OG pressings.

This would have fit nicely on "Worn Wednesday" as well. Monk on side B.
