Kinda interesting that they're just now getting to RVGs that were released in March, after they'd previously offered other RVGs from that same time. Ah well, I'm happy they got 'em now!

[Big Al]

Coleman Hawkins All Stars - At Newport (this is showing on BMG, I assume it will show up on yourmusic shortly too)

Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday - At Newport (ditto)

Dizzy Gillespie - At Newport (ditto)

Oscar Peterson - At Newport (ditto)

These, as well as the Best Of Newport 2-CD set are in jewel cases, unlike the ones you find in the brick-n-mortars, which are in digipaks.

[Free For All]

Bjork - Volta

So how's this one? I saw her on SNL doing a tune from this (I think it was "Earth Intruders") with an all-female brass group, and it seemed kind of interesting (nice groove).

[Noj]

I like it, Free--but I even dig her as far back as the Sugarcubes. She's always got interesting music behind her. None have equalled Post for my tastes, but Bjork consistently rewards with clever music and lyrics.

Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters

Lee Morgan - Indeed!

I highly recommend this album. She's back to form. (I didn't care for the last couple albums...though I'm trying...) The arrangements are incredible...especially the horn section.

"Declare Independence" is so intense!

[Quincy]

Oliver Nelson - Blues and the Abstract Truth

Sonny Rollins - On Impulse!

Wow, seeing these so cheap almost makes me want to buy them again as gifts.

Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs

Then again, I have an old tape of a scratchy LP that needs replacing...Nothing like rectifying the early sinful method of music sharing 20+ years later.

[WD45]

Can't wait to hear Floratone! I have listened to a couple of cuts on Rhapsody, and it feels like the two Viktor Krauss albums that get many spins around the household.

[jazzbo]

Basie at Birdland is added. . . probably won't last!

[Big Al]

As a follow-up, this is what BMG sent to me:

Not too long ago we processed an order for you. However, we were unable to send two of your Free selections, D1725050 MAGNIFICENT THAD JONES and D1725043 AFRO-CUBAN, because they were not in stock. Unfortunately, we have just learned that these selections will no longer be available for distribution through our club.

This happened last year with THE SPOILER, LUSH LIFE, and THE RIGHT TOUCH RVGs, so I hope it's happening again and these titles will be available again. Still, with what is going on with EMI, I can't help but wonder if EMI/Blue Notes will disappear from their catalog like they did when Fantasy became Concord.

[T.D.]

If EMI/Blue Notes disappear, the yourmusic inventory will become awfully meager.

Yeah, I had all 4 on order and they got canceled. I'm hoping they were just added to the catalog alittle too early.

I had the recent Kenny Cox Conn on order at BMG for the past several months. I'd previously emailed them inquiring about it, and finally got a note from them this weekend cancelling it because "this selection will no longer be available for distribution through our club".
