Hi, Mijknarf ... I've got several pages of Amazon "Buy It Later" pages, too ... and sometimes I'll move them to "Buy Now" status, but generally I wind up deleting listings as I add more. I'm trying to research sufficiently to wind up with CDs that tend to be described as having great "sonics" ... which I'm hoping will translate as being less compressed. I remain optimistic.
I've got lots of CDs that disappoint, I'm afraid, but the McCaslin CD "In Pursuit" doesn't disappoint at all. Manu Katche's recent CD "Playground" is more than worthy, too, and it's a notch above his "Neighborhood" CD that has received quite a bit of praise, though there are strong similarities. I recently picked up "Out to Lunch" by Eric Dolphy and Wayne Shorter's "Speak No Evil." I'm going to buy more of Shorter's work and I'm fairly certain that I'll do the same with Shorter. Those guys were really strong musicians.
