- I spent the weekend in New York to see some live music and visit record shops. I thought I'd make a video to discuss the experience and show some jazz vinyl grabs.

If you're new to my channel, what you can expect from me is a vinyl collector's approach to the jazz genre. For years, I've only collected vintage pressings and prioritized originals of Blue Note, Prestige, Savoy, Bethlehem, Riverside, New Jazz, and more classic labels. Lately, with the resurgence of the medium and more collectors coming to the space, the music industry has taken notice and prioritized putting out high quality reissues of some of the best albums ever recorded. Subscribe to my channel to watch me navigate how to rationalize how I used to buy vs. how I buy vinyl records today.

all great finds 🙂 another great video Chris
Hey Chris, just wanted to say that Rudy did record Weston several times for Riverside (Monk too) but for some reason they did not also use him for mastering. I especially love the ten inch Weston did at Rudy's (Trio with Blakey). "With These Hands" is great too!
Awesome meeting up! That Joe Henderson on Red is on my want list. I think it's after his State of the Tenor Vanguard BN recordings but has Charlie Haden instead of Ron Carter, which is pretty cool. Nice pickups! -- Mike
It’s a really good album
There are some bootlegs of the trio with Haden in Canada that sound pretty good. Maybe the money grabbers that I lent my hard drive to will release them too
Guess I'll wear my hockey pads next time I go record shopping in New York. Love those early Don Friedmans.
_"Drink...!"_ OK, got me there 😂😂. I think the PCM Denon Jazz series is superb.
For two years I worked right around the corner on 5th Ave. It was the only time in my life that I had so ready access to a record store and was able to go and dig in the new arrivals bins on a regular basis. I haven't been to the annex but I really like the two other locations. The Jazz section on 18th street is hit & miss but I would dig for other things, as well. I had hoped to make it to the record show but family plans got in the way.
Also, surprised, but not surprised, by the aggressiveness of the others at the record show. I haven't experience that very much but I don't go to a ton of shows. What I notice is usually the lineup to get in when it opens. So many people trying to be first! As a NYer I don't put up with that kind of behavior and I open my mouth. But that's me. Anyway...
Hope you had fun in our fair city in spite of those a-holes!
I have Rein de Graaf’s Now’s The Time. Fantastic.
New York vinyl buying spree sounds tremendous. You found some great music. Enjoyed the video.
Hope that the Jazz Record Center on 26th street is in your rotation - always worth a visit and seems the guy still finds collections to add to the already big stock there
Huntington Ashram Monastery is up there with one of the best sounding records in my collection! Unbelievable presence and such a beautiful experience
Chris you had some amazing finds in New York that Composers Workshop on Strata is a very tough one to track down along with Steve Grossman . I’m definitely have to take a trip back to New York later this year it looks like you had a blast meeting up with the Jazz bums too.
TV Eye Is in Ridgewood...which is a neighborhood in Queens. Also pushy record shows? Welcome to NY 😅
I figured we were still in Bushwhick!
Hey WCB! The three early 60s Don Friedman records are fantastic, really underrated in my opinion. Good score!
Jim McNeely is underrated. He made a great album on Steeplechase (probably also on Inner City) called Rain’s Dance. I would strongly recommend it.
I didn't know about the credit discrepancies on the CWE album. I just checked mine and it was with the Monk , etc. credits. Also, I picked up a collection of several hundred albums a year ago and there were a bunch of the Timeless and Muse labels still sealed from the 1970s. My best guess was the original owner bought out a chunk of a local record store in my town which closed in the early 1980s since a couple of those store's old price tags were still on some of the albums.
Finally, my son has had recoveries reoccurring track meets up at the NYC Armory in Wash. Heights so it gives me some time to poke around some. We'll be back up there in March and the hotel we've been staying at is literally right across the street from a 2 story record store. Yeah, that's dangerous!
Great video!
I love your videos, hugely informative (ive learnt lots!). I love the Pablo label (cheap and plentiful here in the UK) Cheers
The Jimmy Smith you got was my first OG Blue Note I found here in Austria, it is a great record. I like Jimmy Smith more when he is embedded in a bigger group.
Hi From Denmark Know all your records you bought are good ones. I ve never been in NY. and it seems interesting, I would like to visit.
I have the Jimmy Smith Rockin the Boat however I don’t have a cover for it, found it for $5 vinyl only.
that's great! and better than only finding the cover!
My understanding is that the Academy on 18th in Flatiron is not related (or is no longer related) to the Academy on 12th or the Annex on Banker Street. I don't know the story there...
I’m from NY but now living in Jersey but I’d be ticked off if someone jumped in front of me or tried to look in the same box I was looking at.
Hi
Did you get the new viyer ?
And if it’s sound great ?
Thanks
I'm wondering what are your thoughts about Andre3000 show?
What is the taboo on jazz record collecting channels against sharing how much one paid for a record? I don’t understand…at least for the more collectible records- price paid seems to be stealthily avoided.
What did you end up paying for the Alice Coltrane ? Just curious ;)
$150
It really is due for a re-pressing . @@jazzvinylcollector
12th street Academy is the best
Off topic, but since you mentioned it at the onset, why was the Andre 3000 show disappointing?
The high level is that it was monotonous, he doesn’t seem to have enough hours in on improvising to really say much with his soloing, and he didn’t allow his star lineup to share the spotlight as much as I’d like.
@@jazzvinylcollector That would do it for me. Thanks!
You’ll soon have the 500 replaced 🤣😂
Hahaha yes, but I mean that’s kind of the idea all along
Vijay
He's not a flutist. Lol
well, he's trying anyway
Trying on your dime & time.
