I would expect, and hope, that the new Music App will end up being iTunes for the next generation. Or maybe Apple will allow those who use and rely on iTunes the opportunity to continue with it on that platform. I have no videos, photos, podcasts, etc. on my iPods so a stand alone music app/program would be fine for me. It seems to me like reports of iTunes demise though are somewhat overstated. Apple has sold a lot of people and awful lot of music through the years. I can't imagine that they would take away ability for people to access and play that music. I know that those of us who use iPods are lower on their list of priorities, but I also have a lot of music on my 256 GB iPhone. I suppose you could call it the end of an era, but a new era surely awaits.

I sprung for most everything except the Keberle...I listened to the samples and the vocals weren't really something that drew me to his music. But to each his own.

Thanks for the heads up. I ended up springing for ten titles. Only gripe, and a minor one at that, was the $22 shipping charge. Oh well.

I emailed the blackmonk address and got a swift reply. The discs are $15 each with shipping of $6.50 for the first and $2 for each additional to the US. The charge was actually for Euros not US dollars...

After poking around a bit, these appear to have been Record Store Day 2019 titles. The LPs are still readily available but the CDs not so much. I'm afraid that they might be tough to come across...which is a bummer because I really enjoy Koglmann. Particularly the Hat stuff that he's done.

PM Sent on Cleveland and Montrose.

I ordered all of the Japanese reissues. Last night I did a blind listening test with the BGO titles using Shades of Blue and Dusk Fire. Three tunes off of each album. For all six I chose the BGO remaster over the newer issues. The BGOs seemed a little brighter, but I also thought that there was more presence and detail to them as well. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch (an NAD amp and Yamaha CD player coming through new Polk Signature S60 speakers) although I do like for my music to sound good. Has anyone else done a comparison and had a similar experience/outcome? I'm curious.

Sending PM on: Von Freeman -- Have No Fear (Nessa) $6 Roscoe Mitchell -- Before There Was Sound (Nessa) $6 Roscoe Mitchell -- Noonah (Nessa) $10

Tolliver

The vinyl for Tolliver is available on Amazon and importcds.com but not the CD. Importcds lists the label as "Pure Pleasure." If this was a Mosaic exclusive wouldn't they own both formats? I just ordered through Mosaic. $6 shipping for a single CD is mighty steep. Perhaps they'll ship it with the forthcoming Mobley Mosaic that I preordered....

That's a bummer. I know that you're not the seller. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

I'm not familiar with Moondoc, but I really like Roy Campbell.

Hi, I'm interested in this: Jameel Moondoc - The Muntu Recordings NoBusiness. $45 If it's still available. PM Sent. Thank you.

https://www.gshock.com/watches/g-steel/gstb100bnr-1a Saw this is available according to Blue Note’s monthly news letter. I prefer the look of the watch they did 25 years or so ago that you got by redeeming Connoisseur proof of purchases. Not only do I not like the look of this watch but $420 is out of my price range.

I grabbed all of the titles on BGO and I think that they are excellent. That led me back to the Rendell/Carr quintet and then Ian Carr's music. Great music. Touches of electric Miles at times, otherwise just chock full of solid tunes and great playing Not a clunker in the whole bunch.

Gone.

Saw this in my Apple newsfeed this morning. Passed at age 81.

SOLD. Thanks.

Hi- So I ended up with two of the new AEOC box set. As opposed to sending one back, I'd like to offer it here for $75 which will include media mail to the CONUS. I prefer paypal or an Amazon Gift Card. Thanks.

I don't think that this has been mentioned, but my set was numbered as 2133 out of 6,000.

PM Sent. Thank you.

I can't seem to figure out the cart to process a purchase...my google page translation is letting me down. Is there any "easier way?"

Up...$7 each or all three $18 including postage in the lower 48.

import cds has a coupon code "TAKE10" that can be used to reduce the price to about $70 plus shipping.
