Jenny Scheinman: All Species Parade

I have that John Patton session on a Canadian CD from 2007.

The first 3 listed and Unbooted Character are only on the Queen Disc lp. The Deep South Suite is also on the MusicMasters 2 cd set, The Great Chicago Concerts, November 10, 1946 and January 20 1946. The Deep South Suite is performed only on the November 10 concert, and that Concert includes Django Rheinhardt.

Basically I've also found that some brands of CD-R blanks last almost forever, some don't. Only problem ... you only find out afterwards (after years) which ones will last long and longer ... I still have quite a few CD-Rs burnt by (or for) me in the second half of the 90s that still play OK. Whereas others have failed after some 10 years. But to add another aspect to this discussion of CD-Rs becoming unplayable: As part of my haul from the estate of a deceased collector (metioned elsewhere - e.g in the jaz book thread) I recently took home a huge bunch of (real) CDs but also about 150 CD-Rs burnt for this chap by a fellow collector in (I guess) the years between 2005 and 2010, and very professionally done, including the inlays and printed labels. (At first sight they look like one of these cheapo PD label CDs.) BUT ... the labels on the earlier CD-Rs have started to peel off and are impossible to press back on - and just as impossible to remove. And it is these CD-Rs (about the initial 50 or so) of which many make nastily distorted noises when playing, as if the data are beginning to deteriorate (and some skip and jump to and fro or stop all of a sudden). But it seems the detached labels are the culprits. Don't know if it is the out-of-balance of the detached labels or the label glue penetrating into the data layer but the damage seems to be caused there. Because those where the labels are becoming detached round the edges fail most often. Whereas those among the later ones (when he seemed to have changed to a diffferent, glossier self-printed label that adheres perfectly well) that I've listened to so far do play perfectly well. At any rate, I'm seeing myself burning backup CD-Rs of the bunch before long.

Sure. Me too. And others that are a decade old that are unplayable. Some dyes degrade more slowly. Storage conditions (temp and humidity) also contribute to how soon they fail. They might last 10 years, 30, 50 but CDRs are inherently unstable and ultimately will all fail at some point. No one is going to be playing them a hundred years from now. Whether that's a problem or not depends on what's on them I guess. Plenty of papers on this published by the Library of Congress, NIST and so on.

December 18 Wadada Leo Smith - 1941

Paperback ordered! Looking forward to receiving it in January, and regretting that the preordered Pacific Jazz book by James Harrod will take some more time to arrive. It certainly wil be interesting to compare how these two major labels are covered. And I'll take the word of Allen Lowe (see below) that the Prestige book does not limit itself to the "usual suspects" of the biggest names only in covering the output of Prestige. At any rate, I'll have my copies of the Prestige discography by Michel Ruppli and of "The Prestige Book" (from the Japanese "Jazz Critique" series) within reach when digging into this new one. "When it comes to jazz, this is one of the rare books that we actually need, that does not cover the usual ground with the usual suspects. Prestige Records, for all the attention it has received from audiences, is not well known in the historical sense. Every jazz fan has these records, which is important, but few know the inside story, the complex process of the jazz independent label in the era before independent labels became as common as recording projects. And Tad Richards is the writer to do this, with a firm grasp of jazz's historical succession, the bebop era, and the musical needs of musician and audience. Read this book." — Allen Lowe,

i.e I saw it in VistaVision.

Thanks. I got worried that I didn't have it but I see it's on Classics 1015 (1946) which I do have. And what are the 4 tracks that have never been reissued?

The Bears want a new stadium, and they are considering Indiana. The Chicago Bears playing in Indiana? Team says it's expanding search for new stadium site beyond Illinois

Will definitely check this out. I have not met Tad though we live in the same town... curious.

Thanks. Pre-ordered.

Don't think I have ever heard this one. Big John is the bomb...LP only? Still enjoying the Paul Desmond set, NP Good one. The Esquire fonts through me off. Issued on New Jazz...wait I didn't know Esquire had rights to issue New Jazz...interesting.

John Patton's Soul Connection

I have the V-Disc box set and the Transcription five volumes so I'm covered (which as an Ellington nut makes me feel good).

Things have a way of happening if data resides on a single cd. It gets broken or lost or stolen or deteriorates, or burns up in a fire, etc. 1 TB micro-sd cards are a good way to prevent cd loss. Rip the files and copy them to the sd card. That size card will handle most people's collection. OK maybe not some people here... They go for $70 to $100 now that some genius slapped big tariffs on them but they are still pretty cheap insurance.

It's a great set. I've had it since it came out and still listen to it often.
