Couldn't agree more.

Those are my favourites too.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle R&B singer Jimmy McCracklin has died. He was 91. http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Bay-Area-blues-legend-had-65-year-career-4136929.php

Compared to other internet stores their prices were pretty high. That may have contributed to their current situation.

Just got that e-mail. Although I didn't buy much from them (can't remember the last time), it's a shame to see them go. I think it's a wise decision, though, if it helps Mosaic to stay in business.

Any news about the Carter/Bradford and Tapscott releases?

What's his birth date (see thread title) got to do with his passing a year ago?? And what's with the capitals?

I also posted a comment before I realized the thread was started in 2007. However, as far as I know the rule was already there 5 years ago. Anyway, I deleted my comment.

Already posted here:

Same here.

Good points, Peter. Might be a good thread for you to initiate. Yep, excellent post. I always thought the points Peter made were obvious until I started reading a few classical fora...

Then a question for you. Why do you show us photo of individual recordings with performers, conductors included? Why not just post the name of the composer and the composition? I was wondering about that too. Sorry Bev, but I agree with MomsMobley, interpretation is everything. What you're saying is so absurd that I can hardly believe you're really being serious about this.

The seller made a mistake, so according to Amazon Marketplace rules they have to reimburse return shipping. If they refuse, open a case with Amazon.

I've done business with disaac without problems. However, communication with him can be difficult, as he doesn't visit the board frequently. If he paid through PayPal, you could try and contact him via his PayPal e-mail address.

83 today. Congratulations.

Alas, the BN is also OOP and there is no digital version It is available from Amazon Marketplace sellers. U.S. - http://www.amazon.co... note and roost U.K. - http://www.amazon.co...55145344&sr=8-1

Note that public-domain labels like for instance Jazz Factory and Proper have no access to original sources like metal parts, mastertapes and what have you. Their releases are usually sourced from 78s, vinyl and CDs. If you're looking for a pitch-corrected CD release of the 1/10/1947 Roost date you need the Complete Blue Note and Roost Recordings 4CD-set that was released by Blue Note, as was said above.

The Braxton Marsh reissue does indeed have fewer tracks (10) than the original hat release (12). Does anyone have any idea why? By the way, the piano still sounds out-of-place to me.

Couldn't agree more; that's also my main objection, as I've said ad nauseam on this board.

Yep, the widget takes you to Amazon.com, but when you click on "United Kingdom" almost at the bottom of the page, just under the Amazon logo, you will be transferred to Amazon U.K. and you can start buying there; it might get Jim a commission. When you put things in your cart on Amazon.com, they will not show up in your Amazon U.K. basket; all Amazons are autonomous in that respect, widget or no widget.

This is another one of those European public-domain labels that have no access to original sources like mastertapes. The Jazz Messengers store sells both official (including Mosaic sets) and European public-domain releases.

I think you mean 24-bit; there's no such thing as a 25-bit remaster. :g :g OK, I fell for it. Irony often gets lost on the internet...

But have you heard the 25-bit remaster? I think you mean 24-bit; there's no such thing as a 25-bit remaster.

Yep, thanks. What strikes me as odd is that MC is mentioned in connection with his Mosaic label, as none of the rights of the recordings involved are owned by Mosaic. Oh well.

Sad news. I loved his quartet with Desmond.
