randyhersom Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 Enjoying Sam Rivers - Purple Violets quite a bit now. Also grabbed Evan Parker - New Excursions and Archie Shepp with the New York Contemporary 5. Just discovered that Byard Lancaster is part of a group with some electronics called Mars 2 Earth, and that's my next download. Quote
jazzbo Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 I'm thinking of blowing my whole month on the Dexter Gordon Prestige box. . . . I have a few of the single releases, and don't want to buy the actual box set. . . . Quote
Soulstation1 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Posted December 28, 2006 i dl'd the entire Dex Gordon box set one disc a month Quote
ejp626 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Posted December 28, 2006 Mostly world music this month -- Classic Titles - Les Ambassadeurs Classic Titles - Orchestra Baobab Diwan 2 - Rachid Taha (they also have Diwan and Live in Medina!) Tartit - Abacabok Tinariwen - Radio Tisdas Tinariwen - Amassakoul (hope they get the new release that is supposed to be out in March!) Oumou Sangaré - Moussolou Khaled - Sahra Aimee Mann - One More Drifter in the Snow (couple of the new songs) They have so much amazing stuff, particularly for world music labels. Unfortunately, World Circuit isn't on eMusic. In past months, I downloaded pretty much everything they had by Amadou et Mariam. One of these upcoming months, I'll just dl all the Fela CDs (I only have a handful currently). And I'll probably dl the new Tom Waits collection after that. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Posted January 8, 2007 how long do your downloads normally last? do you use them up all at once or budget them for the month? Quote
BFrank Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Hey, SS1, I usually try to budget myself so that I can be sure to have some available for impulse "buy". Quote
RDK Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Well i just downloaded 40 tracks yesterday and today because i almost forgot my account turns over tomorrow! Quote
jazzbo Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I downloaded 88 tracks on Sunday---the Prestige box of Dexter's. Good stuff! Quote
Parkertown Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 I usually download mine in one session, once a month. But then you guys go and recommend something and then I'm all buggin' cuz I have to wait. Quote
WD45 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 How much are the booster packs? I haven't been a member for a while, and y'alls making me jones for it. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 BOOSTER PACKS NEW PRICES AND LOWER DLS 10 DLS FOR $6 20 DLS FOR $11 30 DLS FOR $16 Quote
edski Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Signed up for trial membership last week and thanks to this thread (esp. BFrank) I d/l some great stuff, including Last Exit, the Miles Isle of Wight track, Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Brotherman" and Dewey Redman's "In London." Also got Greg Bendian's Interzone "Tribute to Jack Kirby" which is fantastic. Can see myself getting pulled into the whole "digital distribution" thing, esp. as local shops close up and the big retailers shrink their stock. Need to upgrade my hardware to have enough HD space for monthly D/L, but I am sure I will sign-up in the future, esp. after having discovered some great music! Thanks again! Quote
randyhersom Posted January 15, 2007 Report Posted January 15, 2007 After seeing Billy Hart Quartet on some best of year lists I grabbed it and have enjoyed it. Dennis Gonzalez' name drew me in to Alvin Fielder Trio - A Measure of Vision and it was worth it. Lyrical and evocative. Rudresh Mahanthappa - Codebook impressed on first listen, a quartet with Vijay Iyer. They continue to add items on the Ayler Records label and William Parker - And William Danced and Exploding Customer Live at the Glenn Miller Cafe are both excellent. Quote

mjzee Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 I notice that they have 3 Sherman Irby titles on Black Warrior Records (I have his "Big Momma's Biscuits" CD and enjoy it): Black Warrior http://www.emusic.com/album/10990/10990506.html Organ Starter http://www.emusic.com/album/10990/10990577.html Faith http://www.emusic.com/album/10990/10990594.html I haven't heard them, though.

BFrank Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Interesting re-creation of "Meet the Beatles". Quote
mjzee Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 This month's downloads: Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood Belle and Sebastian - The Life Pursuit Cat Power - The Greatest Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti, The Beautiful One Has Come Stacey Kent - Love Is...The Tender Trap Lester Young in Washington, DC (Volume 1) Larry Levan's Classic West End Records Remixes Jackie McLean - McLean's Scene Kenny Burrell with John Coltrane Cecil Taylor & Buell Neidlinger - New York City R&B Quote
Kyo Posted January 23, 2007 Report Posted January 23, 2007 (edited) My downloads refreshed today and I already used up all 90 of them. It's amazing how much music you can get for under 20,- Euros. Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet - Real Time Bobby Timmons - Workin' Out (just the session with Johnny Lytle, have the rest on CD) Gene Ammons - Angel Eyes Gene Ammons/Sonny Stitt/Jack McDuff - Soul Summit Jack McDuff/Gene Ammons - Brother Jack meets The Boss Jack McDuff - Brother Jack ("Goodnight, It's Time To Go" session only) Jack McDuff - Crash! featuring Kenny Burrell Jack McDuff - The Last Goodun' ("On With It!" session and the track "9:20 Special" only) James Clay - A Double Dose of Soul Johnny Lytle - Nice and Easy Kenny Dorham - Blue Spring Philly Joe Jones - Blues for Dracula (VBR mp3s at only around 128k!) Plus three individual tracks to complete some sessions I have on CD otherwise: Bobby Timmons - People (from Workin' Out -> Little Barefoot Soul) Elmo Hope - Moe, Jr. (master take from Homecoming) John Coltrane/Tommy Flanagan/Kenny Burrell/Idrees Sulieman - How Long Has This Been Going On? (from The Cats) By the way, beware: The "Untitled Track" at the end of "Brother Jack meets The Boss" is actually "Ballad for Baby", found on at least two other CDs of McDuff's.

Soulstation1 Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Posted January 23, 2007 using i-tunes can i hear all the samples from a cd? clicking on "sample all" i just hear the first tune only Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 about 10 new greazzzzy cd added to emusic today mainly smooth holmes and jimmy mcgriff Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 about 10 new greazzzzy cd added to emusic today mainly smooth holmes and jimmy mcgriff Come on - give us details! (Pretty please) MG Quote
Soulstation1 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Posted January 29, 2007 http://www.emusic.com/browse/n/b/-n/a/15-0...00000291/0.html Quote
Noj Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 Wow, looks like they added some funky albums which had tracks compiled onto the Irma Jazz Groovy series--Ramon Morris, O'Donel Levy, Larry Willis, etc. Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 http://www.emusic.com/browse/n/b/-n/a/15-0...00000291/0.html There are some very interesting GM things in that list. The two George Freemans are the best, but McGriff's "Fly dude", which also has Freeman and all of the Holmes, particularly "American pie" are extremely good. I'd like to get the O'donel Levys and the Joe Thomas. Missed those back in the day. What's the deal with emusic? Is this material available to Europeans? (The Verve stuff isn't.) MG Quote
