  1. Thanks for the recommendation, kh. Do you have them set up on your desk, with stands?
  2. Also available on iTunes.
  3. Anyone using active studio monitors for their desktop computer audio system? I'm interested in replacing my 2.1 Logitech system with a 2.0 setup that offers a more accurate musical experience, albeit without the boom-boom bass from a subwoofer. There are a number of entry-level powered models from the likes of Audioengine, Swan, Alesis, M-Audio and Samson, some of which offer a USB interface for direct input from a computer or similar source. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks in advance. Some candidates: Alesis M1 Active 520 Samson MediaOne 4a Audioengine A2 Swan D1080 IV
  4. SSJ has also reissued these two titles as digital downloads. While it remains to be heard how much improvement the DSD remastering offers in a lossy format, they are reasonably priced: The Message $6.93; In Action $5.94.
  5. Vision Festival schedule already posted here:
  6. I'm very happy for you. The museum looks incredible!
  7. Of course, "Sonny Red(d)" is just a nickname. His given name was Sylvester Kyner. Anyone ever read Anders Svanoe's essay Bluesville: The Journey of Sonny Red published in Rutgers University's Annual Review of Jazz Studies, No.13?
  8. Did anyone bother to help him look for it ?
  9. No imbedded link there for me. Dude, you iz pozzessed!
  10. I call shenanigans on aparxa! Them ain't real stamps! Now here's a real stamp:
  11. I like the 1947 version.
  12. Think about it. If you're talking about a CD, it must be produced from a digital master because it's a digital medium. The SPARS code which appeared on earlier CDs is a three-letter code that tells you: 1) the type of audio recorder used in initial recording (analog or digital); 2) the type of audio recorder used in mixing (analog or digital); and 3) the kind of mastering used (always digital in the case of a CD). Remastered CDs can only be AAD, ADD, DDD, or DAD. Unless I'm missing something, the only instance in which you can have an analogue remaster is with a vinyl record.
  13. I can't believe this thread is still active. I thought post #3 said it all.
  14. Blues in Thirds is available on iTunes, as well as on some P2P sites.
  15. What instrument did Lumpy play?
  16. I doubt it's Eva doing the swishing. The dancer's face is noticeably hidden until the very end. Nice commercial though. Anyone else remember Reese's talk show Della that aired 1969-1970?
  17. Available on CD-R and mp3 at amazon.com. Check out the samples: Jazz Masquerade
  18. excerpt of A side included in this ebay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-R-B-Soul-Instrumental-45-Bunky-Green-Sweet-Inspiration-MET-1403-/170883579313
  19. I'm sorry to report that one of the most creative and influential comedians of our time has died. Jonathan Winters died last night at the age of 87. Rest in peace, Mr. Winters, and thank you for all the laughter you shared with us. NYT
  20. That's correct. As I understand it, when Apple pulled the YouTube app from iOS6, Google was able to use built-in hooks in the iOS to send video links directly to its own standalone app. Try this: tap and hold the video link. You should be presented with the option to copy the link or "Open in YouTube". After copying the link, you should be able to open it in Apple's built-in player.
  21. One is left wondering which transfers Jordi chose to steal, um...borrow. Everything has been remastered and available before, except for the two tracks from No Strings that didn't appear on the reissues On Broadway and In A Mellow Tone. No matter, I'll just bide my time until a peer "borrows" from Jordi and shares it with the rest of us in the public domain.
  22. To each his own, I guess.
