What's next on your YourMusic.com queue?

[ejp626]

I'm going to have to clear out my queue, which is down to Mobley's Hi Voltage. I added Lewis/Jones Consummation (and am more than a little bummed they also have Central Park North, since I paid more this afternoon) and Peggy Lee's Black Coffee.

[jazzbo]

Shorter's "Allegria" shipped, so next up on my queue is Ornette's Skies of America.

[Ron S]

Next up for me:

[GA Russell]

I'm enjoying the Sade, although it's probably the least interesting of her albums.

At the top of my queue are three hard bop classics, but I opened up Lee Morgan's Search for the New Land today, and I have two more Blue Note classics that I'll probably open up over the course of the next month, so I will probably get something this month from YourMusic that's not hard bop.

I'm leaning toward Sam Cooke's Live at the Harlem Square Club, but I see that they also have Stephen Bishop's greatest hits album and I could be talked into that one as well.

Grant Green is up next for me.

Where is Vol 1?

My question is: How far are you queued up?

I'm booked until December 2008!

[GA Russell]

Scott, including the two I added last night, one of which will go out Monday, I have 9 in my queue.

I only juggle the top few. It's too much work to juggle a long queue!

I used to refrain from juggling much, but I discovered if you want to make #22 7th in your queue, it will sensibly place it there and reorder everything appropriately. For some reason I feared that if I put something in (for example) the 2nd slot without moving the current 2nd slotted disc the site would explode.

Next up for me:

I'm queued up through March 2008. I use the queue as sort of a wish list, and reshuffle occasionally to get what what most appeals to me at the moment up near the top.

Thanks Quincy! I'll give it a try.

Next one on the queue is the Jazz Crusaders Lighthouse '68 CD -- if I like it I may pick up the Crusaders box.

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

Hill's 'Black Fire'..........then something from Blue Oyster Cult.

Aside from a dangerous lack of cowbell, you're gonna dig Black Fire. I was listening to it a lot last week and it's goooooooood.

Since they just shipped the Jazz Crusaders '68 Lighthouse, I think Brownie & Max at Basin Street is next.

[Big Wheel]

I just signed up and put about 30 things in my queue. Next up: Kurt Rosenwinkel's Heartcore.

My next pick shipped yesterday:

Stephen Bishop - On and On: The Hits of Stephen Bishop

I decided to forgo hard bop one more month. I still haven't listened to the Sam Cooke from last month.

I always like Bishop. I wonder what he has been doing for the past twenty years.

[Aggie87]

Just shipped Radiohead's "Kid A". I had this but lost it somewhere during a move or a divorce or something

Next up is Drew Gress' "7 Black Butterflies".

[Ron S]

My next is the Grant Green "Ballads" comp CD from Blue Note:

I already have a boatload of Grant Green CD's, but figured it would be nice to have these sides on one disc for mellow listening times.

[jazzbo]

Ornette's "Skies of America" shipped. I have the vinyl of this, but it's not in great shape.

Next up: Nancy Wilson, "Something Wonderful"

[Sundog]

Heard "Look Out Cleveland" the other day on the radio and couldn't resist the urge to replace my dirty old vinyl copy.

[jazzbo]

Good move!

Cd sounds pretty good. .. despite McMaster!

this is a nice one, as it comes with some bonus songs and good liner notes

[gdogus]

Just shipped:

David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Remastered)

Next up:

Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus

Edited September 10, 2005 by gdogus

[Z-Man]

Next up: Ben Webster - Soulville

Then two months of Duke - Piano In The Foreground and Blues In Orbit

[Big Wheel]

How often does Yourmusic update its inventory? In terms of jazz cds I've probably seen about 40-50 things I have real interest in buying, but once I get all that, the deal is going to be pretty uninteresting unless they acquire more selection.

Not a bad place to pick up a bunch of non-jazz albums, though.

New things appear, of course; not sure how often. But then, if there are 40-50 titles you're really interested in getting, great! At $6.00 a pop with free shipping, you're getting a great deal, and that ought to last you a while. Why complain if the well eventually runs dry? Get it while you can!

Next up:

BTW, I had "Blues In Orbit" scheduled for November, but got a note in my queue saying it might not be available by then. So it's on its way to me now.
