Tom 1960 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Posted May 31, 2010 lala: Shelly Manne - Boss Sounds! but for me Strozier supplies the heat that is much more compatible with Candoli's playing. "The Breeze And I" is an excellent example. I'm also a big fan of Russ Freeman which is always a big plus with me if he's included on the date. Quote

Jazzjet Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I'm ten days late with this news, but spotify is now up and running and taking your money in the US. http://www.spotify.com/us/hello-america/ I've had Spotify Premium for a while and I have to say that it is excellent. The quality of the streamed audio is higher than the free service. One of the best things about Spotify is the numerous sites that provide ready made playlists, and the ease with which they can be shared. An example is the Britify site where there are playlists to match each BBC radio show ( the 'Magic' list includes the last 100 tracks featured on the show ). For jazz and world music, Radio 3 is the place to go ( Jazz LIbrary, Jazz Record Requests, Jazz on 3 etc ) but there are also interesting shows on Radio 6, such as 'Stuart Maconie's Freakier Zone'. Here's the link : Britify Quote
Quincy Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 It's been fun! Great for checking out those bonus tracks for albums that you didn't want to rebuy again. Too cheap to put up the bucks for The Who's re-re-repackaging of Live At Leeds but you wanted to hear the the Hull 1970 show? It's on there. (That was sweet revenge.) The Neil Young archives are too (nothing like listening to an audiophile set in low-res ) I've noticed many ECM albums smartly make a few tracks unavailable, lest one think "oh I can live with that in mp3 form." It's becoming a regular thing now to play an album as I go thru the morning coffee and paper/computer. It really taps into the childhood part of the brain that dreamed of "god games" and having all of the music available at one's fingertips. It's also a little scary to realize that Barry Manilow is now in the house, or at least a few keystrokes away. Quote

Big Wheel Posted August 1, 2011 Report Posted August 1, 2011 I just got a Spotify invite this week and have been eagerly combing through Spotify and adding a ton of stuff I haven't picked up in CD form yet. Here's how I grade out how each label's handled their deals with Spotify: Blue Note/EMI: A-. There is really a ton of Blue Note stuff available and some of it has been OOP for a few years, like the George Braith sessions. Not everything though - I couldn't find the 10" Conoisseur series or West Coast Classics, for example. And surprise surprise, the Beatles are conspicuously absent from Spotify. Verve/Impulse:B-. Decent selection, but loses lots of points for failing to make available longer tracks. This is particularly bad on albums with lots of longer cuts - the Joe Henderson/Wynton Kelly records are particularly dismal. Would have given a C except the entire Ahmad Jamal Mosaic (sans one track) is available. Atlantic/Rhino: A+, mainly for including complete box sets up there. Some are OOP like the Ornette Atlantic box. Sony/Columbia: A. Having the whole Miles Cellar Door box: epic win. A little sad that I couldn't find the Plugged Nickel box. Black Saint/Soul Note: so far, A. Great selection and complete albums. OJC/Concord: D. Bad selection and it looks like any track over 7 minutes long might be unavailable. ECM: B-. Couldn't find a single complete album, iffy selection. Smaller labels that look like an intriguing amount of stuff has been made available: Xanadu Red Enja Tzadik Criss Cross Sharp Nine Double-Time Quote
