Niko Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 I've been mopping up titles in the Blue Note and Unheard Music Series, and other Atavistic titles I don't have. Also noting the large scale EMI classics presence. Lots to get through... dipped into the Hartmann symphonies cond. Metzmacher - don't know how much of that I can stand... ok, large scale emi presence is a difference between spotify and deezer it seems (deezer has no emi? or little at least...); but they do have lots of ecm, the free america series...

David Ayers Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Masses of ECM on Spotify too. Lots of Verve, but no Universal classics I can find. Quote
aparxa Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 kirk lightsey/lennart ginman - 1991 (XX * L * II) - IX = MCMXCI : I love these little extras on google! Quote
BillF Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Anyone made any purchases yet as a consequence of flirting with it on spotify? Not exactly. Decision to buy Clarke/Boland, More Smiles, based on reading reviews, confirmed by hearing it on spotify. No previously unknown must-have item has yet emerged, tho' it's likely to before long! Quote

Did you try the playlist I linked? I am wondering if we can share playlists? Quote

I wouldn't know how to set up a playlist, but I'm listing everything I listen to on this thread, anyway. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Posted March 4, 2009 I can see your playlist, David, though haven't quite worked out how to scroll it. I downloaded the Mulligan Vanguard and Brookmeyer Electricity from amazon/I-tunes after hearing them on Spotify. Quote

David Ayers Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Slide Hampton, Exodus Those Jazz in Paris titles seem to be in there, not sure how many. Quote
GA Russell Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 I find it interesting that you Brits are excited about Spotify, but on this side of the ocean nobody was interested when I started a thread about Lala. Today on Lala I listened to Disc 2 of Coltrane's Fearless Leader Prestige box. Quote
BillF Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 One result of Spotify is that Cook & Morton has been off my shelf as many times in the last few days as in the previous few months to answer questions like "who's that on piano?", as Spotify often comes without details. That's got me reading C&M on the stuff I'm listening to and realising how often I profoundly disagree with their judgements. I think there are swathes of the music that they're not particularly attuned to, and yet they pass judgement on musicians' work with such magisterial arrogance. (With all due respect to the deceased one, of course.) Quote
Niko Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 nathan davis - happy girl definitely a bit better than peace treaty i'd say... Quote
Niko Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Christian Escoude - Cookin' in Hell's Kitchen quintet album with tom harrell Christian Escoude - In LA with lou levy afterwards probably the howard mcghee version of the connection Quote
king ubu Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Whoa - what a bummer. Hackers break into spotify: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/...-spotify-hacked that must have been me trying to figure out how it works yesterday Quote
David Ayers Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Collective 4tet, Moving Along John Stevens, Live at the Plough lined up... The former is on Leo, who have a few titles on here, Braxton four CD sets included, and the latter is Ayler, not yet worked out how many or which of theirs is here.... Edited to add playlist of Ayler label on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/davidayers/pl...JfJVnTX1VlKWXAO Edited again to add: noticing lots of holdings from Stunt Records on Spotify. One way in is to look up the numerous compilations (search on 'Stunt Records'). Too much work to make a complete list.... but, is this something we could work on using the 'collaborative playlist' function. Certainly a pity you can't search by label, but as I did with the Ayler label list maybe something to work on over time? For example, a Jazz in Paris listing? Or other less known labels like Ayler and Stunt and which lead into some lesser known artists it would be really fun to discover? Since Spotify is of Swedish origin I expect there will be other Swedish labels... Edited March 5, 2009 by David Ayers Quote

BillF Posted March 6, 2009 Report Posted March 6, 2009 George Coleman, Blues Inside Out Recorded at Ronnie Scott's in 1997 with Peter King, Julian Joseph, Dave Green and Mark Taylor. If only those American visitors of my youth had had British backing groups like this one! Quote
