Larry Kart Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 Saw a posting just now on the Jazz West Coast list from a satisfied purchaser of "All Music." He praised the speed of delivery, the music, and offered his thanks to "Chick Nessa." Quote
Clunky Posted March 28, 2004 Report Posted March 28, 2004 all my orders from Chuck arrive in 48 to 72 hours. Nothing from the US comes faster in my experience. Far quicker than CDuniverse and even Mosaic air express...not sure why that should be but I'm very happy ....... Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 28, 2004 Author Report Posted March 28, 2004 Anyone interested in listening, I just discovered WGVU will be featuring All Music on their "Artist Showcase" at 5:00 pm today. Short notice but you can listen HERE. Quote
Larry Kart Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 Listening again, I wonder whether anyone out there agrees that Warne's solo on "317 E. 32nd" is essentially one long line, a single, unbroken evolving thought. If so, it may be, at two choruses, the longest (or one of the longest) such sustained episode in recorded jazz or in any comparable improvised music, period. Bach no doubt could have done it in real time too, so could Usted Ali Akhbar Khan (if comparable). Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Posted April 8, 2004 Sorry to bring this thread back but I have now had 2 complaints about the last track "not tracking". If you have this problem, let me know now. Quote
DrJ Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) Got mine on Saturday, Chuck. Haven't made it to the last track yet but will let you know. Only listening I've been able to get in has been in the car to and from work. But really enjoying ALL MUSIC so far, an all expenses paid trip to the wonderful off-kilter world of Warne. And Levy was having some good days too, wasn't he? Edited April 8, 2004 by DrJ Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Sorry to bring this thread back but I have now had 2 complaints about the last track "not tracking". If you have this problem, let me know now. My CD player recently broke down and I blamed all CD anomalies I heard on the player. It looks like I'll be without music for quite some time, so I won't be able to check. Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) I just tried to play track 14 on the low-fi Sony CFD-6 "music machine" I'm using in the kitchen, and they're right, it keeps skipping; it's unplayable. Edited April 8, 2004 by J.A.W. Quote
couw Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 no problem with the last track here. do you mean that it has been reported to skip? may that not be because of the overal long length of the disk? Quote
Guest Chaney Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 I'm listening to the disk right now (in my office) on the Yamaha "Compact Component System FS-M3" ( ). The final track plays fine. Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Apparently it's system-dependent. I had a few problems playing the CD on my player (not the Sony one I mentioned above ) before it finally broke down, but, like I said, that might have been due to the mal-functioning player. Quote
brownie Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Well, I'll be waiting to get the European copy-controlled version Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 does it play in your CDrom drive? No, same problems as with the low-fi Sony music machine... Quote
Guest Chaney Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 does it play in your CDrom drive? No problems here. Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Strange... I wonder what the problem with my copy is. Quote
Uncle Skid Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 My copy skips at 2:28. Most often, it "jumps" back a few seconds, but sometimes it will go all the way back to 1:24. Incidentally, I also had excessive "jitter" errors on that track when I tried to MP3 encode this disc for my portable player. On the MP3-encoded track, the problems also start at 2:28. Quote
jlhoots Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Plays fine in the 10 CD changer in my wife's car. "Skips" on my Sony CD player in the house. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 8, 2004 Author Report Posted April 8, 2004 Here is what I know. Last week I exchanged a cd for a customer. That disc has a visible flaw (probably a bubble) at the outer edge. It mistracks on my machines. Yesterday someone else contacted me about tracking problems on the final track and I sent a replacement. I should have the "defective" copy back in a couple of days to check. Since then I have pulled 10 discs, at random, from my stock and played the final track on 4 different machines - my regular player, my Sony portable, my computer and the player in my wife's car. None of the 10 discs gave me a problem on any of the machines. At his point I don't know what to think. I may know more when the disc in transit reaches me. Hans and Skid, do your discs have visible flaws near the edge? Quote
J.A.W. Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) Hans and Skid, do your discs have visible flaws near the edge? My copy with the unplayable track 14 has a tiny, hardly visible bubble near the edge, the other copy I bought from you hasn't and plays fine - at least in my CDRom drive.

Harmon Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 No problems on two quite good players. Jürgen Quote
Uncle Skid Posted April 8, 2004 Report Posted April 8, 2004 Hans and Skid, do your discs have visible flaws near the edge? Mine also has a very small bubble at the outer edge. It looks like it is on the outside of clear part of the outer edge (not on the inside silver part). Quote
cayetano Posted April 14, 2004 Report Posted April 14, 2004 Mine has the last track problem. It has also the very small bubble at the outer edge. Quote
