Why DID I buy that CD?

[Old Grumpy]

Prompted by Anna's post (#2) on Calum's latest weekly jazz zone thread I thought it might be interesting to know if anyone else has wondered "Why did I buy that CD?"

My starter for ten:

Diana Krall: Quiet Nights

I bought this on the strength of Live in Paris and The Girl In the other Room, both of which I enjoyed immensely.

Not tempted by Glad Rag Doll I must say!

One man's rubbish is another man's gold - I love that CD, gentle summer sounds - Mrs C can't stand it however.

STRAUSS R Four Last Songs Merbeth WeimarSt Halasz on Naxos - awful vibrato laden vocals

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Almost every ECM album Ive bought!

And for a different reason, Song X by Pat Metheny avec Ornette...cant stand the effected guitar synth.

I bought it for 50p from Red Cross shop (I think they knew it was awful) I returned it to Help the Aged shop

... and the waifs at Save the Children breathed a sigh of relief... ("Saved again!!")

WTF !!!!!

This is a brilliant album! Worth the money alone for "Mob job" and "Kathelin Gray."

View it positively - minimum of two charities stand to benefit from you.

Howard Goodall - Eternal Light - A Requiem. A friend recommended it. Oh dear.....

[BLUESNIK'S REVOX]

Ian, If you want my delux boxed copy of Song X, you are most welcome! I loath that guitar sound....with a loathing.

Maybe someone should provide a big online box for all these reject CDs...for charwity.

Sky Dive - Freddie Hubbard

Not the worst record ever but it took about the whole of my Saturday job wage, not soulful or funky enough for my kind of Pop and not jazzy enough for my kind of Jazz, so ahead of its time really - very high quality Smooth Jass?
