Awful!

Two hours of unreleased live Art Pepper... for $7... What is there to think about???

Just contributed Jim... Sounds like a great project... I'm looking forward to it... Good luck down the stretch.

Interesting.. I just hope the pick some good musicians. I also think Artistshare needs more lower level funding options (e.g., $75-150) range like the Jim Hall Set...

Who else were regulars on the Muse label?

I had the CD Setting Standards. I took the plunge. After I ordered the new set, I went back and listened to Setting Standards... Good stuff...

I'm still on board with Mosaic although, my enthusiasm has waned a bit especially with the demise of the Selects. I'm still waiting for my Betty Carter Select....

Sent you a email on the Donald Byrd.

Saw Michel Camilo and his trio last night @ the Regattabar. As always he was excellent!

Was going to see Snarky Puppy @ Berklee but I'm too wiped out! At least next week is McCoy!

hmm.... seems promising I think....?

I got it. I don't mind the packaging and the music is great. I'm not too high on Rebecca Martin's vocals (whatever disc that is) but overall it's a great set. ECM is coming out with a 6 CD set of Motian's stuff. Anybody got any specific info on that one?

I listened to it the other day and I find it stunning. I'm generally not a Jason Moran fan.. but this is really a fantastic record. It's one of those that I have to LISTEN to.

Amazon has Ella's The Concert Years 4 CD set on sale through Newbury Comics for $14.99. I know it's her later recordings but I've been into Ella a lot the last few weeks and $15 is ridiculous. http://www.amazon.com/Concert-Years-Ella-Fitzgerald/dp/B000000XHT/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1363188004&sr=1-1&keywords=the+concert+years

I ordered it the other day as I have a couple of his other releases. Didn't he release a double CD at some time?

I totally concur. Thanks!

This looks promising. Thanks for the Amazon.co.uk description. I hope the sound is halfway good.

Anybody got any info... I've got a few of these Acrobat recordings but I can't remember if it's one of the labels that just uses the EU PD stuff which (I think) doesn't pay royalties to the estate... Is that right? Anybody know anything about the release? http://www.amazon.com/Rare-Live-Recordings-1952-53/dp/B00BKUO1OK/ref=sr_1_19?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1362486299&sr=1-19

I've been loving and appreciating Chick's recent output. I give him credit for being 70 and consistently trying new bands and new concepts. I don't think they all work. I really have loved the RTF live stuff, the Bill Evans stuff and the Continents CD. Hot House and the Bollani didn't work for me. I caught him live doing the Hot House record with Gary Burton and it just didn't work...

I was looking for a unopened copy of this for years when I finally got one on Amazon. Think I paid $150 or something. Great music,.

I don't think there is but it is a nice bound package.

Just came in the mail today. Looking forward to it!

Yea I saw that.... Not too sure about the band..

I caught a YouTube clip and was VERY impressed. Got their CD and going to see them here in Boston in a month! Looking forward to it. Nice new change of pace.

Thanks Steve. The minute you posted it to Facebook I went over to the site and contributed to the project. I can't remember if I went there but it was an important part of Boston jazz history. When did it go out of the of jazz biz? I really hope people contribute as it seems to be off to a slow start.
