Happy Birthday!

Thing is you'll get a re-fund for the disc, but none for their nor for your own shipping costs. So it's mostly not even worth bothering as it'll just even out ... one-star-feedback is the consequence, but it will take many of those to bring down those vendor's 96-97% ratings to less than 95% (which is where I get cautious).

found a cover here: (they release fine music, but they should work on their typography) https://www.discovery-records.com/product-ST83227/art-pepper-quartet/live-at-fat-tuesday's-deluxe-digipackandhellip;.htm

I think though that they're quite straightforward about it (though in my case it was a disc listed as "Audio CD" with no further comment, bought via one of those secondary vendors - but I guess it would have been the same had I ordered from Amazon themselves). Wasn't aware of New World doing the same though - I actually would still love to get the two Cecil Taylor albums, only have copies once provided by a friend. But replacing CDRs with CDRs would be a drag.

All the very best, Lon!

I've bought at least one CD-R from Concord/Fantasy as well, and most recently one by Mode/V.S.O.P. - neither time it was properly described, both times bought via one of those large vendors using amazon marketplace. But who's the source of this I wonder? Is it really the label itself?

Looking for Haydn keyboard sonatas recommendations
king ubu replied to J.A.W.'s topic in Classical Discussion
no progress on Brautigam (or Schornsheim) yet, but I played these two for the first time yesterday and enjoyed both: Bilson does Hob XVI:50, 43, 39, 20 and 40 (in that order), Cerasi offers Hob XVI:48 and 4 on fortepiano (a Schantz as well, different spelling on the cover), then Hob XIV:19 on a clavichord, and finally Hob XIV:42 and the Andante and Variations in f minor Hob XVII:6 again on fortepiano. -
Sounds enticing! I've grown so vary of those vendors (selling non-declared CDRs, wrongly described/graded used items, not reimburseming properly even if the error's theirs ...) - but looks like the best option in this case, alas. Hip-O being Universal-owned one would expect them to have proper distribution though ...
-
anyone besides medjuck heard this by now? and anyone found a European source with acceptable price?
-
Not overlooked, as all of 13 people (including organisers) went to his last Zurich gig. Seriously: very good musician, most certainly overlooked indeed!
-
The J.J. is very dear to me, too! The Teddy Wilson also crossed my mind. The Art Hodes ... I still hope to score it some day (get in touch if you have one to give away!) Missed the "Piano Moods", but the "Master Jazz Piano" one is quite nice, too.

since Niko forgot to mention him (): Jacques Pelzer and big yes on Günter Kronberg! let me also throw in Jan "Ptaszyn" Wroblewski - while I don't care for most eastern european fusion or jazz-rock, he did some great things! also, looking elsewhere ... might be s a stretch to mention Dudu Pukwana, but a few other ZA guys like Lulu Masilela, Barney Rachabane, Basil Coetzee, Robbie Jansen, Winston "Mankunku" Ngozi, Ntemi Piliso or Kippie Moeketsi definitely deserve mention. Also the sadly deceased Zim Ngqawana. Some of them may still be well known in ZA, but not far beyond that and beyond a small fan base. But they all have their say on the instrument. Piliso is kind of a Hodges-like figure, while Kippie was the one introducing modern sounds into ZA jazz, alongside Dollar Brand. Hard to find much by any of them, alas.

This thread is weird.
-
took me a while (had some computer issues to fix before I could check any audio files) ... now it's there, I guess you'll find it (not sure if a link would be okay or not, it's not a "bootleg", no one earns a penny from it, but still ...)

C.P.E. 'The Sepia' Bach (Specifically)
king ubu replied to MomsMobley's topic in Classical Discussion
I think this is the CPE Bach disc I've enjoyed most so far: here's an annoyingly worded laudatory blurb from ClassicsToday (10/10 rating): source: http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=40063 -
Quick! What is the longest single jazz track that's good?
king ubu replied to GA Russell's topic in Recommendations
Terrific track! -
yes But count them. That's why my post says fictitious ... and adds an emoticon. Thought that was clear enough. You do have me curious about that Lil/Dodds et al. date though!

Best opera DVD I've seen no far -- Ariadne auf Naxos
king ubu replied to Larry Kart's topic in Classical Discussion
Sorry, wasn't aware how old this thread was ... regardless, this is better (a trailer for the more recent DVD edition, it seems): much better, in fact! -
Ever heard of one Erik Satie?

Best opera DVD I've seen no far -- Ariadne auf Naxos
king ubu replied to Larry Kart's topic in Classical Discussion
this one here, I assume: http://arthaus-musik.com/dvd/musik/oper/media/details/ariadne_auf_naxos-2.html not sure what to think of Grist after playing this: not easy to understand a word (sound quality or lack thereof might be to blame, Strauss, too), somewhat thick accent - but the voice somehow gets me the wrong way ... the recording, if it's the one you're talking about, has been on DVD at least twice it seems (I found 2004 and 2014 editions listed on Amazon). btw, it's Jurinac, and she was great indeed http://www.theguardian.com/music/2011/nov/23/sena-jurinac-obituary -
They ship from any warehouse, no matter whether you order from the French, Italian, Spanish, German or UK site. And the French of course invented the guillotine a while ago ... but I guess today others should get acquainted with it as well, besides royals.
-
Maybe, but as with Niehaus (I know you love his music!), when do you ever read about him. It would really help indeed to have some kind of definition when such threads are started, so we all could at least try and be on the same page. And funnily the Dutch (I think?) seem not to underrate anyone
-
Ah, I see. Well, of zero interest then.

Loved "Ida"! And intrigued about that unknown/unreleased Coltrane - more info, please!

Not sure if this is the right thread, but "Mingus Three", the 1957 trio album with Hampton Hawes and Dannie Richmond nowadays belongs to Universal, I assume (Jubilee > Blue Note > EMI > Universal, whatever, why don't the majors just merge into one and then find new majors on Pluto to gulp and grow even fatter? but free markets is good, fersure) ... so, cdjapan just sends me one of their hourly updates, and it says Mingus Three + 8, and I wonder what that means ... would of course be amazing if those were alternates, outtakes, whatever, but I guess the explanation is of some other nature? link: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/OTCD-4829?utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=text-genre&utm_campaign=Jazz-20150730-genre-OTCD-4829
