king ubu Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Starting this a bit earlier than usual... and I might end up finalizing the selections a bit later than I should (though I hope not, as I'm writing this). Anyway, will a download be fine for everybody? I'd really prefer to keep it DL-only - and in case anyone in the US couldn't handle it that way, I'd be very happy about a kind volunteer who'd burn some CDRs from the MP3 I'll put up and pass them on. I realise this will cost a bit, of course, and am very grateful for anyone willing to step in. (Though, compared to my first BFT where I had a larger number of participants and ALL the sets were mailed out to "hubs" in the US and yurp, who again spread further copies... it all got so much easier as time went by!) As for the music... I got rid of the idea of another South African-centred BFT - it will be all (or mostly) jazz, and there'll be something to hate for everyone, but I also hope something to be discovered for everyone. If you just want foot-tapping, light music or hard-swinging but oh-so-formulaic hardbop, this is not for you, I'm afraid! ~ . ~ . ~ . ~ . ~ dl option alex.

jeffcrom Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) I'll be glad to send out CDs to anyone who needs them - part of my job. And I'm in for a download, of course. Edited January 8, 2011 by jeffcrom Quote
king ubu Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 I'll be glad to send out CDs to anyone who needs them - part of my job. Is it? Never thought the master of BFTs had to do that... but thanks a lot for your offer! I'd be happy to get some sing-ups right here in this thread - and those who can't handle DLs, please drop me a PM with your postal address and I'll then discuss further with Jeff! So, again: download option: just post here that you're in... I might end up posting the links here anyway cdr option: please drop me a private message to sign up! Quote

Bright Moments Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 please include me for a download - and thanks!! Quote
king ubu Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Posted January 15, 2011 :: BUMP :: I'm about to finalize my selections! In good time to allow for mailing some discs if required, I hope! So, please post here or drop me a PM if you're in! The music has no theme, it's just some goodies and hopefully lots of stuff to discover for most of you - no stylistic barriers in there, either... covering about eight decades (though not necessarily as far as styles go). It's a one-disc BFT, and I hope this will widen participation a bit. I'll be in touch with you, jeff, just in case anyone in the US prefers an actual (MP3/M4A-sourced) CDR. Same offer is good for Europe, I'll take care of that, myself! Quote
Hot Ptah Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 I want to participate. I will need a disc. I understand that Jeff will help out with that--thanks, Jeff. Quote
NIS Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 Ubu, I would certainly like to hear your BFT. Download would be great. Thanks. Quote
king ubu Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 I still need to give #82 a spin myself... but first I want to finish this one. One final spin is still needed for final approval, after that the option for CDRs is up and running! Quote
relyles Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Can you add me to the download list? Quote
king ubu Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 Done - good to have you aboard, Ronald! I'd wish for some more interest! Quote
king ubu Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 - bump - will be sending out a pair of discs tomorrow... any more takers from ol' yurp who want a CDR? Quote
jeffcrom Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Hot Ptah's disc went out today. Look for it in a couple of days, Bill. Quote
king ubu Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 Hot Ptah's disc went out today. Look for it in a couple of days, Bill. Thanks a lot! The ones to brownie (who might not participate in the end) and BillF went out, too (the later arrived already). Quote
king ubu Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Posted January 26, 2011 If it's ok, I'll be sharing the link soon and will be opening discussion on Feb. 1st. I'd wish there was some more interest... Quote
king ubu Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 Great, looking forward to read your comments! Quote
