Okay, too bad. But that sounds like a reasonable workaround - would be the moderator's duty then, though, to let you know right away. Okay, too bad. But that sounds like a reasonable workaround - would be the moderator's duty then, though, to let you know right away.

What Classical Music Are You Listening To?

Same here - not just since last weekend, but for several weeks at least (sometimes worse than other times), but most of the times it works out (I had a few instances where an error page loaded, but when I opened the board in another tab of the browser, I saw the post did go through). And thanks Jim (S.) - I'm quite sure there could be a safety measure introduced for that. I'm a moderator on another site, and for starters, if your permanently logged in, whenever you take some moderation measures - moving posts, merging or deleting threads/post etc. - you are prompted for your password again. At least that interrupts the entire process and you don't get it done - rightly or wrongly - within one or two clicks and one second. And that alone helps, I'm sure! Also we have the option to delete w/restore option vs. permanently delete, and in general you only use the former function anyway.

Sorry, but wherever I mention it, it goes unnoticed or at least remains unreplied to: can't there be a pop-up installed, asking moderators if they really want to delete entire threads before they actually do so (assuming they delete one lone post)? As we lost some great threads, I feel like that's so much more important than the search engine or the odd quote function and whatever else minor bug around here.

Okay, I got the track again from someone else - no idea what happened, but I downloaded the whole thing as a RAR and then unpacked that RAR to my computer, and that one file turned out corrupt. Don't feel like wasting more time on this now, just wanted to mention it.

Haven't listened to that one yet. And of course some of this isn't new! There's more on mp3 it seems: http://www.live-in-paris.fr/live-in-paris-jazz/

I bought a few ... the Charles, Ella, Q, Sinatra ... they look pretty nice, probably the recordings come from the source. The booklets are pretty short though, but you get all info. The Miles Davis 1960 concerts have been reissued as well. Will skip the Basie as it's mostly stuff that has earlier been on Laserlight (and before that on whatever the label was called, that "Pour ceux qui aiment le jazz" series). Here's the list: Collection Live in Paris FA5451 MILES DAVIS 4 CDs FA5455 GEORGES BRASSENS 1 CD FA5460 QUINCY JONES 2 CDs FA5466 RAY CHARLES 3 CDs FA5470 FRANK SINATRA 1 CD FA5476 ELLA FITZGERALD 3 CDs FA5489 JOHNNY HALLYDAY 1 CD FA5494 NAT KING COLE & THE QUINCY JONES BIG BAND 1 CD FA5610 HENRI SALVADOR 1 CD FA5612 LOUIS ARMSTRONG 1 CD FA5614 AMERICAN FOLK BLUES FESTIVAL 3 CDs FA5617 ÉDITH PIAF 2 CDs FA5619 COUNT BASIE 2 CDs you can currently get the entire collection for 83€ from Frémeaux ... that's where I got the above listing from, hope the links to the individual volumes do work! here's the link to the offer, just in case: http://www.lalibrairiesonore.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1686&Itemid=13

In Europe, Universal is distributing Concord ... all those cheapo "Prestige Albums", "Riverside Albums" etc. sets are produced by Universal Italy. Not sure how that looks in Japan though.

#29 of the FLAC version is totally corrupt. Just spent two hours trying and then forcing down my computer. Sucks. Big time. Will drop a note to Laurie ... possibly that it might play (it did open in WinAmp, but when I tried to fast forward, I had the next breakdown - same when I tried to copy the file, rename the file, decompress it in Trader's Little Helper etc.) Guess that's another reason why I hate wasting money on downloads ... you never have any guarantee those on the other end know what they're doing or how to do it properly or that they bother to really check everything before spreading things.

Same here, office computer, hit the button once ... board still misbehaves (was inaccessible for most of the morning over here - guess they ran some stuff during the night). But indeed, quite a story there! Another chapter is his guest stint (along with Monk Montgomery, Marshal Royal, Rudolph Johnson) in South Africa ... here's the backcover of an LP they made: Same here, office computer, hit the button once ... board still misbehaves (was inaccessible for most of the morning over here - guess they ran some stuff during the night).

The entire series is out, I assume, *except* for the Colbeck, which was pulled ... I got a shipping confirmation for my SME order a few minutes after my previous post, and then went on to order the McNair and Shaw discs - spending way too much again on CDs lately. But as this is the thread with discussion of the entire series, while the SME thread is only two or three posts short (actually the last one by me, linking to this thread - before the news got out that the Colbeck was pulled), I thought it makes more sense to bring this one back up. Someone could likely change the title (without deleting the entire thread, preferably )

the SME reissue seems to really come out now ... they hadn't cancelled that part of my pre-order, but I kinda gave up holding my breath still http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/UICY-77702

Count Basie -- "Complete Live At The Crescendo 1958"
king ubu replied to duaneiac's topic in New Releases
Got mine a few days ago, and am into disc four just now ... disc three had some glitches and stuff, but nothing really bad. The band is on fire throughout, including Joe Williams - ridiculously good music! -

since my latest post: discs 3-4 of the Buchbinder (sonaas nos. 7-14) -
m'kay, seems just the solo tracks at the end are not in the Galaxy box ... a bit confusing then, and the asterisks kinda obfuscating.

I don't bother to hate Mitch Miller ... and yes, and on top of that at least some of them are truly outstanding!
