Fantastic finds! As for the Contemporary line-up: Barney Kessel, Hampton Hawes, Leroy "The Walker' Vinnegar, Shelly Manne -- that's as a stellar a big-name line-up as you'll find on any session in history! Individually, they've played with everybody, from Art Pepper to Bill Evans -- and put out great records under their own names, too. Have you checked out any of the titles in the Contemporary "Poll Winners" series, with the winners of Downbeat polls (1957-60) jamming together? It's the same line-up (sans Rollins) with Ray Brown instead of Vinnegar. and one title with Cannonball Adderley and Wes Montgomery (though it's not the best of the batch). Anyway, thanks for sharing your treasures...
Ryan killer pickups especially that Way Out West by Sonny damn that clean congrats I’m still after that OG . Kenny Dorham and Little Johnny C is smokin’ too . Keep diggin brother never your on the right path deals can still be had theses days take care Ryan.
Thanks! Deals might not be plentiful these days but you’re most certainly right they’re still out there! Hope you find an OG of Way Out West and many others on your wantlist! Looking forward to your next video as well!
'Onya Ryan- what a great presentation (again). For a young fella, you certainly are (to quote Tina Brooks) "Good Old Soul." Keep up the great work. Your collection will be of extreme quality the way you are heading. Cheers from Oz
What great pick ups, some incredible stuff. I definitely want to get the McCoy Tyner sometime and wasn’t aware of the KB Verve you showed. Great video thank you 🙏
Thanks Ryan, great finds! (That Tina Brooks is brilliant) You've got so much knowledge about jazz, it's great how you share your music journey with us, Authentic and genuine. Agree that all records should be stored outside the jacket in transit (common sense)! I aspire to have your knowledge mate. Thanks
Great pickups as always Ryan! I am so jealous you have found that Johnny C! Super tough to find that one! Big congrats! And man Roots! That one is not expensive but also super hard to find! Funny I just found an OG copy of roots last month after looking for years. The vinyl is VG+ on that but the jacket is all taped up with duct tape haha but hey beggars, right? Man lots of heavy hitters in this pile! So happy your collection is growing and your taste in music is perfection! Thanks for the video.
Man, I couldn’t even imagine what I’d do in that moment. 500 is a lot but certainly not for that record, fingers crossed something comes along to fill its place in your collection!
@@amanandhismusic haunts me to this day. I think my reasoning was that I would have kept it rather than sell it and I wasn’t really in a place to buy $500 records. Guy had about 20 rare blue note records including ‘Freddie Redd - shades of redd.
Thanks Sean! I agree the boxset is a bit high, glad I held off. The alternate takes are quite good but I’m okay with streaming them for now! Hoping there’s an OG in your future!
Tina Brooks! I have a Mosaic set of him, "The Complete Blue Note Recordings of the Tina Brooks Quintets." You made a killer find. Also, congratulations on the Sonny Rollins LP, I have the OJC reissue as well, and it is well recorded. If you haven't heard it, I think you'll like "I'm an Old Cowhand." All those names you ran through showing these albums, such incredible stuff. Also enjoy the stories accompanying each record. Have fun with them all.
Thanks Charles! I love I’m an Old Cowhand, one of my favorite songs written by the great Johnny Mercer. The jazz greats such as Rollins and Coltrane have always done so good with his songs and implement their own styles into the songs but still keep that Johnny Mercer lyrical power. You can hear the words as they play!
Working for corrections while also buying and selling but I’ve surely slowed down, luckily my parents don’t charge me rent yet so that had been a huge factor as well.
@@amanandhismusic You seem to lean towards post-bop but if you want to check out some fusion I would recommend " Bitches Brew" by Miles Davis. There were four off-shoots from Bitches Brew, Weather Report, The Headhunters, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Return to Forever. I've never heard The Headhunters, but my favorite Weather Report album is "I Sing The Body Electric", and Mahavisnu Orchestra's "Birds Of Fire", and Return to Forever's eponymous first album are both very good.
Ohhh yeah I listen to many of those groups. Herbie, Miles and Chick are really masterminds. Bitches Brew was one of the first records I got but I still need to upgrade my copy to an original soon!
Appreciate the feedback. I definitely realized that after I recorded the video. Definitely won’t play vocal music in the next videos and I’ll play more of a toned down album so it doesn’t intrude on the commentary.
Sorry if the volume of the music was disrupting, I’ll definitely keep that down on my next video.
Background music didn't bother me at all.
I liked it
Damn man, a lot of great jazz here I haven’t heard yet. Will put them on the list. Just subscribed

Thanks for the support Bruce! Appreciate the kind words!
1am buys are usually top notch 😊
Glad to know I’m not alone😂
Ryan the jazz dog 💯 🐶 🎷

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and support! Hope you find a copy of both Kenny and McCoy👍🏼
Great finds, Ryan! Always looking forward to your videos.
Thanks Regine! Hoping my lucky streak continues!
Glad to see a new video! And smokin’ pickups man. ~Jason
Thanks Jason! Congrats on your recent pickups. Your last video was killer, classic after classic! Looking forward to your next one!
Thank you excellent video

Way to go buddy! Nice bunch of finds. Make more videos!!!
Thanks! Will do!
Good to hear from you.

Thanks Ilya! Congrats on the pickup of Roots! Hope you find a ton more where that came from!
only album i have have is that bobby timmons album, mono copy, good one,i found a mono copy.
Awesome Dave! I haven’t had much luck stumbling onto his albums besides his sideman work. Would love to try and grab the rest of his Riverside works!
I had a VG+ OG of that Tina Brooks in my hands, guy wanted $500 and I passed like a moron.
Man, I couldn’t even imagine what I’d do in that moment. 500 is a lot but certainly not for that record, fingers crossed something comes along to fill its place in your collection!

i only have an ojc copy of way out west. the latest reissue boxset seem fancy but the price is a bit high. happy for you
Thanks Sean! I agree the boxset is a bit high, glad I held off. The alternate takes are quite good but I’m okay with streaming them for now! Hoping there’s an OG in your future!
@@amanandhismusic so kind of you. ps. loveyour 10 inch‘ collection.
Music in the background sounds good. Do you have a video of a breakdown of your stereo rig?
Thanks! I’ll definitely have to make a short video here soon showcasing my setup!

How are you funding all these???
Working for corrections while also buying and selling but I’ve surely slowed down, luckily my parents don’t charge me rent yet so that had been a huge factor as well.
Are you interested in fusion jazz at all ?
To some extent but I’d definitely like to look into it a little more! Do you have any recommendations for specific artists or songs?
@@amanandhismusic You seem to lean towards post-bop but if you want to check out some fusion I would recommend " Bitches Brew" by Miles Davis.

@@amanandhismusic Bitches Brew is a great backyard cookout album.
@@amanandhismusic I don't know if you're into vocalese, but I would suggest looking up "Everybody's Bopping" by Lambert Hendricks And Ross on TH-cam.
good episode. though music too loud. a vocal record is not good to talk over.
Appreciate the feedback. I definitely realized that after I recorded the video. Definitely won’t play vocal music in the next videos and I’ll play more of a toned down album so it doesn’t intrude on the commentary.
