AllenLowe Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I'll be listening on Spotify. Probably before it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Lester is in fine shape on these recordings, as are the other members of "his orchestra". Young fans should not hesitate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 So I am getting close to putting in an order for this, and it is apparently on Amazon's banned list. They say that enough people have written to say there is a problem with the CD that they aren't selling it (and apparently won't even let Marketplace sellers sell it). I've seen this just a few times in the last few months at Amazon. Kind of odd what ends up on this list. It usually takes a week or two to be restored to grace. Has anyone found a problem with the CD that would justify this treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Doesn't seem available from Uptown yet either--or am I just not seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I got this from Amazon but have been unable to listen to it yet, I don't have much time for this sort of thing these days unfortunately. Hopefully it's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what is posted: Item Under Review This item is currently unavailable because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!) We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, this looks like something where disgruntled parties can try to blackball products, so I am not sure I really welcome this development. Amazon is certainly opaque in these matters. The other time I am aware of, they simply started reselling the item without any indication what was wrong. So odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I received a copy in late May, played it and had no problem. Something else must be going on. It is a fine release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 My copy's just fine, been playing it for about a week now. Love the music, and the MC makes me appreciate Symphony Sid. Is this thing gonna get rare and valuable all of a sudden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's okay. No time for Pres? What a terrible thought. I've been enjoying my copy quite a bit. There is maybe nothing here as earth shattering as some of the broadcasts from the same year that we have from Savoy Ballroom (NYC) and the Argyle Lounge (Chicago). But Pres is in fine form and the CD sounds excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bichos Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 i´m a little bit jealous! how the heck do you get all the cd since end of may?? i ordered it from amazon.de and they will ship it probably at july, 20. how unjust is that? keep boppin´ marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 amazon.de has it with a release date of July 16, but I'm sure it will be cheaper elsewhere.amazon.fr and amazon.it list it as not available, no date, no price - so far, but that's often the case with new/upcoming releases.

I am spending hardly any time at all on my own and/or at my place and the music I listen to is mainly what my parents want to hear (I'm at their place every day from breakfast to bedtime for them).

jazzbo Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 What do your parents like to listen to? Classical, pop swing, Jobim (they've long liked Jobim and I'm getting them to listen to a lot of Brazilian stuff, and they're liking it).
