The Mule Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Savoy Label Group music now on iTunes Music Store October 17, 2003 - 07:08 EDT The Savoy Label Group today announced the availability of its music catalog through Apple's iTunes Music Store. "Home to a who's who of jazz such as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstine, John Coltrane, Jimmy Scott and many others, as well as current luminaries such as Hubert Laws, James Moody, Lou Rawls and Andy Bey, SLG now offers over 3000 classic and contemporary tracks from the extensive catalog." SLG will also be offering tracks available only through the iTunes Music Store, such as an exclusive cut from the upcoming "Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project" (release date, October 21). As part of the "Bird Up" promotion, listeners will be able to purchase the bonus track "Constellation (Heavenly Bodies)" produced by underground hip hop artist/producer El-P -- an alternate mix available only through iTunes Music Store. Additional catalog tracks and bonus exclusives will be offered in the months to come. Quote
Claude Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Good news! I mean the availability of Savoy on iTunes, not the Charlie Parker Remix project. Will they charge 99 Cents for every track? That would be $100 for the complete Charlie Parker Savoy sessions including alternates Quote
Shrdlu Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 This is good news. Thanks for posting, Mule. Where is this store at? I guess Google will link to it. My first purchase, depending on price, will be the Milt Jackson sessions with Lucky Thompson (1956, I think). Someone sent me a dubbing from a 2 LP set of these delightful recordings, and a decent CD version would be very welcome. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted October 20, 2003 Report Posted October 20, 2003 Paying $1 for an mp3 seems like lunacy to me. I just don't get it. Quote

Shrdlu Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 Thanks, Mule. That's the first time I've seen these covers. I used to have this music on some French Musidisc LPs, which, for some reason, were very cheap (but were not inferior pressings). Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 (edited) Paying $1 for an mp3 seems like lunacy to me. I just don't get it. I've purchased a few cuts from itunes just to see and hear what it sounds like. I burned some Jimmy Smith Verve cuts within a compilation of other 16 bit tracks and really have a hard time telling the difference. Thought this webpage a classic that all should check out regarding who gets what in the deal of the down load. iTunes! Alas there is much at fault within their POV, too.
