Certainly not the meaning I had in mind. I admire people like Wallach partly for their ability to put their craft above things like fame and fortune, exploring and perfecting their art in different mediums, leaving a body of work that is more than simply entertaining - it elevates us as a culture. In "today's world" where many "stars" are famous for "being famous", a true artist like Wallach is to be celebrated and mourned.

Eli Wallach, who starred alongside Hollywood's greatest stage, screen and TV actors, has passed away at age 98. His movie credits include supporting roles in the Magnificent Seven, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The Misfits, Lord Jim and The Godfather III. However, he was most at home on stage, where he appeared in classics like Tennessee Williams’ The Rose Tattoo and Camino Real, Eugène Ionesco’s Rhinoceros, and The Typists and The Tiger by Murray Schisgal.

That interview, and the claim that the master tapes are missing, was previously mentioned in the "JLH reissue plans" thread back in April.

Audiophile sticky tape?

TSA, or the airline baggage handlers?

I understand the commentator's opinion, i.e. something that is melodic or tuneful. Strictly speaking, the melody is the part of a composition that is distinguished from the harmony and the rhythm.

GA, You may find this CNET article helpful: Which Roku streamer should you buy?

Bunny Yeager, a model-turned-photographer whose images of a scarcely clad Bettie Page, embodying feral sexuality and winsome naïveté all at once, helped propel Ms. Page to international stardom as a midcentury pinup queen, died on Sunday in North Miami, Fla. She was 85. The cause was congestive heart failure, said her agent, Ed Christin. Ms. Yeager, who took up her art by accident, was one of the world’s most celebrated photographers of female nudes and near-nudes of the 1950s and ’60s. She is widely credited with helping turn the erotic pinup — long a murky enterprise in every sense of the word — into high photographic art. New York Times obit It also deserves mentioning that Bunny was a beautiful and successful model before taking her place behind the camera.

I don't necessarily think that the "remastered for iTunes" program is directly aimed at "selling the same music to the same people again and again". Many of the people who depend on iTunes and other download sites as their prime source of music don't have large CD collections, so they might not already own the music. Face it, people like us who own thousands of jazz CDs are a dying breed. The future is digital downloads and streaming services.

I agree. Not essential, but quite enjoyable.

Don't you live in or near Manhattan? There are no audio stores there? What about the Stereo Exchange, Park Avenue Audio, B&H, Adorama, In Living Stereo, the Harman Store, Lyric Hi-Fi, not to mention several Best Buy locations? I agree there are fewer choices these days, but it would appear that people like you and I still have some places to go when we're in the market for stereo/av equipment.

Same here. An offering from Columbia House record club issued on their Columbia Musical Treasuries label

Greetings all! Has the LP pictured below has ever been reissued on CD or available as a digital download? This version of Ntu Troop includes Woody Shaw, Albert Dailey, Rashied Ali & Bob Cunningham. The album was recorded in Baltimore at a Left Bank Jazz Society concert in 1969 and released on Milestone MSP 9027. In case you haven't heard it, I've included one of the tracks, Rise, below. Thanks in advance for any information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb7ocL3DxuE

I think you're misreading this promo. Their "goal" is to make every title available. That includes titles that will be available for streaming on iTunes Radio, as well as titles that can be purchased for download. The "100" refers to the BN titles that supposedly are being remastered exclusively for the iTunes store (a dubious distinction that doesn't exactly promise the best sound).

First off, there is no "Roku HD" model. There's the Roku streaming stick, Roku 1, Roku 2, and Roku 3. All models have built-in wireless, but you have to have a wireless network to connect it to. The "virtually any TV" label refers to TV compatibility. The stick and Roku 3 only work with HDTVs, while Roku 2 & 3 are compatible with "virtually any TV". i.e., non-HDTVs.

I first heard Jesse in 1982, and although his was not the kind of music I generally listened to back then, his words and his voice often touched me deep inside. Rest now, Jesse, with your feet in Dixie and your soul where it always belonged.

I don't understand your comment, and I find it extremely hard to believe that this is part of DG's "system" regarding international orders. I assume this actually happened to you. If so, surely it was a mistake due to an error in the mailing address.

Just announced: Letterman's replacement will be Stephen Colbert!

I'm confused. Is the 2-day concert going to be held even if the Indiegogo campaign doesn't raise the $35,000? Also, the "flexible funding" policy states "This campaign will receive all funds raised even if it does not reach its goal." Does this mean that people who contribute will receive the promised perks even if the campaign falls short?

According to this article, a search that uncovered many of the Lansdowne series masters some 15 years ago failed to locate the tapes for Hum Dono. for a Crisis reissue.
