Free For All Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Um, it's my first post on the board, and I know giving a rec for an artist screams PR flak, but I'm really just a listener. I think you're safe. First off, your name isn't Heather. You're not "just stopping by" to hip us to a "new and exciting artist" that everyone says is the "future of jazz", etc. Those folks we eat with a side of fava beans and a fine Chianti. Welcome. Plus, you didn't use the term "jazzy". Quote
mjzee Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 There's an interview with Adam Klein, President and CEO, eMusic, in the 1/24/11 issue of Financial Times (which, alas, I cannot link to). In the interview, he says eMusic is "pretty close" to an agreement to carry EMI. Quote
mjzee Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Some Ictus titles have surfaced on eMusic: Ictus - eMusic Quote
Free For All Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 LOTS of new titles just added. Much of the Blue Note catalog. Quote
Dave James Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 Finally withdrew after about eight years. Once I figured out how to peel audio off of YouTube videos, I found I no longer had much need or enthusiasm for eMusic. Of course, they're trying to woo me back with great short duration deals, but I'm having none of it and zero withdrawal symptoms. I'm sure I can find someplace else to drop $120 a year in discretionary income without having to look too hard. Quote

mjzee Posted May 19, 2011 Report Posted May 19, 2011 They've also added a lot of the Vanguard catalog, also Caroline (Beefheart, etc). Good drop. Quote
sonnymax Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) They've also added a lot of the Vanguard catalog, also Caroline (Beefheart, etc). Good drop. Yes, and I'm especially glad to see Bunky Green's Places We've Never Been and the two dates by Dave Burns for download. I wish they were cheaper, but they're $3-4 more everywhere else.

BFrank Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Hold onto your hats, they're selling Lee's 3 disk "Live at the Lighthouse" set for $6.49. Anyone who doesn't already have this, get it..............NOW! Quote
.:.impossible Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 Isn't that oop? I have it. Get it at that price without hesitation! Are there other oop Blue Note albums available on emusic? Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 The UK version of e-music promised us some major labels when they shifted to the US pricing system last Autumn. No sign yet. Not that I'm complaining - I have no trouble using up my monthy quota with what is there. Quote
mjzee Posted May 20, 2011 Report Posted May 20, 2011 I saw a lot of interesting things, such as Mobley's Thinking Of Home and Third Season. Quote
.:.impossible Posted May 21, 2011 Report Posted May 21, 2011 I only have $0.66 left in the account so I'll wait for my update to look through the Blur note offering. There is so much that I don't have. Quote
mjzee Posted June 22, 2011 Report Posted June 22, 2011 The Boswell Sisters Collection (Storyville): 5 CDs (no DVD) for $4.40. eMusic Quote
sonnymax Posted June 23, 2011 Report Posted June 23, 2011 Since we're posting good deals from Storyville, may I suggest: Howard McGhee, Teddy Edwards & Benny Bailey - Jazzcraft Studio Recordings 1978-79 This 2CD set, also only $4.40 at eMusic, contains the LPs Young At Heart & Wise In Time by McGhee & Edwards, as well as Home Run by McGhee & Bailey. Not the best work by these fine artists, but there's plenty of good swinging to go around, imo. Quote
mjzee Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 Two "Bird's Eyes" titles are now available on eMusic. No discographical info, though: Volume 11: Bird In France Volume 12: Bird In 1950 Quote

mracz Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Recommendations (or otherwise) for one or both of these, please? I'm not a Parker completist, but I have an awful lot and am not averse to new acquisitions if they come recommended. As an emusic subscriber these could be very tempting. In fact, I'm not sure if I've got ANY of this material... Quote
John L Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Get the second one: Bird 1950. It contains all of the so-called "apartment sessions" that feature some of Bird's most amazing playing. The Paris 1949 is also great music, but rather poor sound quality. Quote
mjzee Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 They've just listed all the recent Impulse twofers, @ $6.99. Quote
BFrank Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 FYI......the Lighthouse set is STILL $6.49 (!), so it's not a mistake. Quote
