trying out lastfm

Byard Lancaster - At MacAlester College

Jon Eardley - Stablemates (seems they have a bunch of those spotlite cds)

while the site is not particularly comfortable to use (and i think you can play every song only a few times?) they also have the recent uptown cds like the lucky thompson and dupree bolton and a bunch of nimbus west... including dadisi komolafe's hassan's walk which as i just see has recently been reissued)

Dodo Marmarosa - Pittsburgh 1958 (lastfm)

worth it alone for hearing him call himself "MIKE Marmarosa" in the intro...

those great vsop cds of west coast jazz are also on lastfm btw

[BillF]

Sonny Stitt, New York Jazz (Spotify)

P.S. Things are improving! I see last.fm has some Bob Florence albums I haven't heard. (A barren area on spotify and deezer.)

what i really like about lastfm is that you can search by label... nothing in here for you?

Thanks, Niko! I can't wait to play the Allen Eager and Pepper Adams from the Uptowns. As for the VSOPs, I own all I want to hear. Pity they missed the Eddie Costa though, which I haven't got and have never heard. The Bob Florence albums that interested me proved to be a disappointment, as there were virtually no tracks for listening. (I guess I remain primarily a purchaser of albums and am using these sites to help me make more informed choices.)
