I just downloaded Joe Henderson's The Elements with Alice Coltrane, which is good in that cheesy 70s way. I might spring for the used Dolphy 3LP set at the store I go to, the complete At the Five Spot, also with my old professor Richard Davis. <br>Today I got the Minutemen's Double Nickels on the Dime 2LP for $12.99, a new pressing. The indie labels are getting something right; their vinyl is often cheaper than the majors'. Yay, vinyl. Been meaning to pull out Point of Departure recently.
