mikelz777 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Does anyone here have any thoughts on Freddie Hubbard - "The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard". I initially dismissed this title upon seeing it thinking it was a compilation disc but then discovered it was a stand alone release sandwiched between "Ready For Freddie" and "Hub-Tones" both of which I enjoy quite a bit. The sound samples still leave me sitting a bit on the fence. Is the disc more compelling than the sound samples might lead me to believe? Edited July 21, 2009 by mikelz777 Quote

Aggie87 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 Joe Lovano - Folk Art (w/Esperanza Spalding) Quote
okierambler Posted August 9, 2009 Report Posted August 9, 2009 Just got my first shipment from Yourmusic.com. The Joe Lovano / Hank Jones CD, "Joyous Encounter" lives up to its name and from what I've heard, the Steve Kuhn Trio "Live at Birdland" is going to be a good listen. Afraid I can't recommend the third disk in the shipment, "Its Me" by Abbey Lincoln. The opening track, "Skylark" is magnificent, but the rest of the set disappoints. At age 73, I'm sorry to say that Ms. Lincoln's voice just wasn't up to the task. A lot of this has to do with the song selection and the arrangements, which don't do her any favors. If you download, get "Skylark" from Amazon.com or iTunes, but skip the rest. Instead, I would suggest exploring Ms. Lincoln's most recent album, "Abbey Sings Abbey." The arrangements are better suited to her voice at this stage and the song selection is first rate. Quote
Aggie87 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 Jon Hassell - Last Night The Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes In The Street Glad this one showed up on yourmusic! Also - the codes "599cds" appears to give you $5.99 cds (i.e. a dollar off). I think it's only good until tomorrow, but not sure. Nice to see them playing around with codes at least. Quote

vajerzy Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 The Wiggles - You Make Me Feel Like Dancing EXCELLENT! If you don't have little kids- you won't understand....well actually I didn't understand them when I took my 5 year old to see them. I loved telling people at the Wiggles show that the last Australian band I saw before the Wiggles was AC/DC.......Highway to Hell Tour.....I got some looks.... Quote

GA Russell Posted November 11, 2009 Report Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Arve Henriksen - Cartography Seeing this reminded me that it had been a long time since I had heard it. So I pulled it out this evening and listened to it. It's different. It's soothing. It doesn't swing. It's not jazz IMHO. For me, it's good to have in the background as I'm getting ready for bed. It's not something to sit by and listen to. For six bucks I would say that it would be worth it to get something unique for your collection. But probably half the people here wouldn't like it.

mikelz777 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Does anyone happen to know if Jackie McLean's "One Step Beyond" offered at Yourmusic is the corrected version of the disc? (If so, I'd pick it up. If not, I'll pass.) Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 It is the corrected version. Quote
Quincy Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 In other yourmusic news Jackie McLean's Bluesnik is by "unknown artist." For some reason CD Universe listed the RVG as an import during the pre-order stage earlier in the year. I wonder if there was a type on the barcode that screws up its listing? Quote
kh1958 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Posted November 16, 2009 They are having a modest sale until November 19th--$5.99 per CD, with free shipping--you have to enter the promo code (599CDS) during checkout. Quote
