  2. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield heralds a "CD Revival"

    So let's pack up our CDs, LPs, Hi-Fi systems, multiple generators, gallons of fuel, and head out into those hills.

  3. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield heralds a "CD Revival"

    John L replied to ghost of miles's topic in Audio Talk

    Exactly, and add to that the fact that most young people don't even store music anymore. They just stream. CDs were once a convenient medium for accessing digital music. But technology has moved on. Now most people without music collections per se can access all that they want, any time that they want, anywhere that they want,.
  4. "Rhapsody" is a particularly nice item on Disc 1 - in good sound as well. It sounds to me like he is working with "I Can't Get Started" here but moves quite far from it in a very unique and beautiful manner.

    John L replied to John L's topic in Discography

    Yes, that is the point. I don't believe that trio was otherwise recorded.

  11. High Note released some other fine live recordings of this band from the same tour, although they took a promotional liberty to headline Woody Shaw's name instead of Junior Cook.

    RIP. It is getting to the point that I dread looking at the Organissimo board in the morning. So many deaths.

  14. Hello.   I have Mp3s for five of the Croscrane J.R. Monterose releases:

      Thanks John. I have all of those CDs (Jazz on the Quarry=Live at Opus 40). I don't know who has  That You Are  (Gemini 3), Top of the Falls, Gemini 6 or Central Park West (Gemini 2). I have one possible lead on them. We'll see.

      All the best/Zoot39

    You are looking for hard copies of the CDs or just the digital music?
