RDK Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 These are the BS/SN discs I grabbed in the last two days... Billy Harper – Black Saint Mal Waldron – Git-Go, Crowd Scene, Update, Where Are You? Old & New Dreams – O&ND, Tribute to Blackwell Chico Freeman – No Time Left, Up & Down George Russell – Essence, Electronic Sonata (both 1968 & 1980 ‘cause I got confused) George Lewis – Homage to Charlie Parker Dewey Redman – Living on the Edge Roscoe Mitchell – 3x4 Eye String Trio of NY – First String Andrew Hill – Strange Serenade, Shades Walt Dickerson – Life Rays Jameel Moondoc – Nostalgia in Times Square Max Roach – Live at Vielharmonie, Survivors Bobby Bradford – Lost in L.A. Richard Muhal Abrams – Family Talk All-Star Session – Remembering the Moment The samples are most helpful as I'm in more of an "inside/outside" rather than a more adventurous mood at the moment.

BFrank Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Deep Purple - Live in Montreaux 1969 Deep Purple - Live in Stockholm 1972 How are those? Performance, sound quality, etc. I've been thinking of giving them a try. Quote
Shawn Posted November 20, 2008 Report Posted November 20, 2008 Deep Purple - Live in Montreaux 1969 Deep Purple - Live in Stockholm 1970 How are those? Performance, sound quality, etc. I've been thinking of giving them a try. The Stockholm 1970 disc is the better of the two. Parts of this performance have been released as "In Concert" and "Scandinavian Nights", this is the first official release and contains un-edited performances. They were still a band in transition from their earlier progressive leanings to the leaner hard rock future, there are some growing pains along the way but that's part of the fun. The sound quality is excellent. The 1969 date is sloppier but still interesting, though the sound isn't nearly as good as the Stockholm date. *note* - The year of this performance is actually 1970, I edited the post. Quote

I've downloaded quite a few of those myself. Quote
mjzee Posted November 21, 2008 Report Posted November 21, 2008 Two interesting additions: George Braith and Friends Greg Osby Quote
Hoppy T. Frog Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 are the discounted booster cards still available? I want so many of the BS/SN catalog! Quote
Indestructible! Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 are the discounted booster cards still available? I want so many of the BS/SN catalog! Unfortunately, no. The Best Buy cards "expired" on Nov. 10, and the Circuit City cards "expired" in September. I use "expired" in quotes because you have 60 days from the date of activation of the card to select your tracks. I bought a boat load of BB cards a few weeks ago, and I have about 750 tracks left... a good chunk of them will be spent on the BS/SN releases! Cheers, Shane Quote
RDK Posted November 22, 2008 Report Posted November 22, 2008 I went through about two dozen booster cards over the course of the summer, but am now down to my last 20 downloads for the month (having gotten about 35 BS/SN albums in the last few days). I'm almost relieved as I've gotten so much music lately that I've barely had a chance to explore. And in another week I'll have another 50 per my plan. Quote
captainwrong Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Yeah, I'll almost be relieved when I'm through the last of my booster pack credit. I haven't had time to really delve into what I've downloaded. Quote
mjzee Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 For Tim Buckley fans, Starsailor is available for download on Amazon today only (Sunday 11/23) for $1.99: Quote
WorldB3 Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Haven't spent a lot of time with these except for the Billy Harper and the Geri Allen which are both amazing, download them today. Billy Harper - Black Saint Geri Allen with Charlie Haden, Paul Motian - Etudes Andrew Hill - Shades Paul Motian - The Story Of Maryam Paul Motain - Out Of Time - (Bill Frisell is a monster on this.) Karl Berger - Transit Quote
Shawn Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 My tracks just refreshed today, looks like it's time to do some downloading...(insert evil laugh here) Quote
Uncle Skid Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 I upgraded from 50 tracks a month to 75. Lots of good stuff to download, especially the BS/SN catalog. Shawn's metal recommendations never let me down... jammin' to Spirit Caravan right now, in fact! Quote
Shawn Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Shawn's metal recommendations never let me down... jammin' to Spirit Caravan right now, in fact! That's cool! I'm in a state of pure fanboy adoration of anything that Scott "Wino" Weinrich is involved in. Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, Place Of Skulls, The Hidden Hand, etc. The guy should be up there with Lemmy in "underground metal God status". Hell, I recently described him as a "heavy metal soul singer"... Quote
Dave James Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 One I downloaded awhile back that I seem to keep returning to is by a pianist named Bennick. The album is Home Safely. Piano trio. Kind of Bill Evans-ish. Up over and out. Quote
BFrank Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 For those who are loving Billy Harper's "Black Saint", you should also DL "In Europe". Equally monsterous (and only 3 tracks, as well). Quote

Kind of Bill Evans-ish. Up over and out. Well I'm shocked. The Bennick I referred to above is actually Bennink as in Han Bennink. I thought he was on the absolute fringes of the jazz universe along with guys like Dave Burrell and Peter Brotzman, but this is fine and mellow stuff. Jazz never ceases to amaze. Up over and out.

That's some of my favorite music these days, Dave: typically outside players playing in. Dave Burrell has a few albums that you might actually like. Also check out Marion Brown's "Back to Paris." It's about as accessible as he gets. Quote
Dave James Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 RDK, I've been on the Marion Brown bandwagon for some time, although I don't have the CD you mention. With regard to Burrell on the inside, any recommendations? Thanks. Up over and out. Quote
BFrank Posted November 26, 2008 Report Posted November 26, 2008 Not jazz, but just added to eMu: The Fireman (new Paul McCartney project) Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scott's Quote
Jams_Runt Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Not emusic, but I just discovered you can get the complete RCA/Victor recordings of Louis Armstrong for $9.99 at Amazon's mp3 store. Posting it here, because I know emusic thread folk are fine with the downloads. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Well...to add to the Black Saint/Soul Note feast, a vast swathe of ECMs just landed on e-music UK. They put some up in Aug but then removed most of them. Some more appeared in September but since then nothing. Today the number of albums jumped to 162!!!!!! Though I'd love to know how they are labelling them - rather than attributing them to the leader they seem to be randomly named after one player on the disc. Jack de Johnettes New Directions is by Eddie Gomez it would seem! Not a major issue but makes finding them a bit harder. How about Jarrett's 'Sun Bear' concerts in 13 downloads!!!!!! I recall when this was an unattainable luxury because of cost in the late 70s! Edited December 2, 2008 by Bev Stapleton Quote
