i need to slow down the playback speed of some of my audio cd's when plaing them on my computer d-drive. is this possible to do without having to first rip the cd's to the computer (i know that it's easy to do with WMP once the cd is ripped to the computer). i need some kind of program that will tell the d-drive to slow the cd down by 5%, 10%, etc. does such a program exist? thank you

i'll steer this thread back on topic, which is that the LOVE ACTUALLY is one of the worst british films of the past decade.

i don't think we can tell for sure that the photo was taken in 1967. http://www.mcrfb.com/?p=17857

but how did it happen all at once. was a letter sent out to everyone? i could understand it if everybody slowly migrated to wearing their own choice of clothing over a period of a couple/several years.

what happened here. did the union tell the musicians that it was ok to wear clothes other than suits and ties? it seems that everyone, all at once, started wearing clothes of their choice after 1967.

Thank you for the info. Yes, i think that the couple of online sources that give 1975 as the release date are probably correct. Maybe someone on this board will remember a 1975 (maybe 1976) nyc club date when both silver and mingus were on the bill, shortly after the release of "Silver 'n Brass", and they'll post the exact date or week, and we'll all live happily ever after.

(recorded 1/75). anyone know the month/year of release? thanks

i don't know how obscure he is, but i was very impressed with John Foster's solo on a blues on a mingus 1972 european concert.

here are some pages from the book. http://www.amazon.com/ART-Why-Stuck-Junkie-Jazzman/dp/1494297574/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400248224&sr=8-1&keywords=Laurie+Pepper+-+Why+I+Stuck+with+a+Junkie+Jazzman#reader_1494297574

from what i've gathered from the above posts, and wiki, he is not a jazz musician.

are there links to these excerpts?

maybe he know if the wes montgomery verve session tapes exist without the orchestras. most of those wes verve/a&m albums would be masterpieces if it wasn't for the bombastic backing orchestras.

biopics always suck. even if the writing is good, 2-3 hours is just not enough time to tell the story.

another good thing about the 71 london sessions is that there are no horns.

maybe with this book title, the author is letting us know that her main intent is to write about how she heroically got him off, and helped him stay off drugs. in that case, the title is fine. all i remember of the first book is a lot of complaining about crow jim in the jazz world. >> have tried and have ((had)) a lot of his material>>> yep.

the book title is in extremely poor taste. it will probably dwell on the junkie aspect. but i don't think that you can, or should expect a well written book from a relative/non-professional writer. she's releasing more cd's than sue mingus ever did, but whereas sue did give us that unknown 64 cornell show, i'd bet that the pepper material is probably not new to collectors. the relatives of dead jazz musicians always have attitude problems.

a funny/bizarre customer review of GG -Live At The Lighthouse http://www.amazon.com/review/R1TP1DSSE7OBD6/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000006DGG An amazing album for both hardcore jazz folk and newbies, April 26, 1998 By A Customer This review is from: Live at the Lighthouse (Audio CD) Two years ago, a friend and I drove from NYC to Atlanta for a weekend at the Olympic Games. We had a cassette copy of an scatchy old LP release of this recording. We drove all day and night both directions and the cassette didn't leave our deck. He and I listened to Grant for 18 hours straight, twice, and may (sic) times after, and still have yet to tire of this rocking album.

i can't remember if this album was any good.

i think if you re-record onto an old cassette, then after a time you will hear the bleedthrough. if you re-record onto a fairly new cassette, then it's ok.

reminds me of a funny story about a classical pianist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Hatto#Fraud http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2125348/Pianist-Joyce-Hatto-Husband-reveals-fooled-world-fake-recordings.html In February 2007 it was announced in a series of articles in Gramophone and the magazine's website (after editor James Inverne commissioned an intensive investigation from audio expert Andrew Rose and others) that the CDs ascribed to Hatto had been discovered to contain copies, in some cases digitally manipulated (stretched or shrunk in time, re-equalised and rebalanced), of published commercial recordings made by other artists.

that conversation took place when they first met, so 1974 would be correct.

I totally agree with Mike. As a matter of fact, everything I've heard Gould do I found horrible, I avoid his performances like the plague. I have 2 versions of the complete Mozart piano sonatas, one by Ronald Brautigam, the other by Maria João Pires (her later DG cycle), but, as I said earlier, these works are not really my cup of tea. gould recorded all the mozart piano sonatas, not just some of them. they're all on the 4cd box. and if you listen to these two movements from the box, you may agree that even though he didn't necessarily like them, he could interpret them probably better than anyone else (at least these two movements). http://www.amazon.com/Mozart-Complete-Piano-Sonatas-Fantasias/dp/B0000028NT cd3 1. Sonata No. 11 in A Major for Piano, K. 331: I. Tema: Andante grazioso and 5. Sonata No. 12 in F Major for Piano, KV. 332 (300k): II. Adagio

if you like bach, then whichever mozart set you get, get the gould set too. it's refeshing to hear his bach infused interpretations of some of the mozart sonata movements.

the only miles 1970's sax player who's solos i don't skip is Bartz. the last two guys after liebman weren't overly annoying either. and i even learned to enjoy jarrett's playing on the 70/71 shows. still can't tolerate the shorter, corea, and liebman contributions to the music. as for liebman, my guess is that, at that point in time, miles had a white guy in the band so that concert booking people/club owners wouldn't be turned off by an all black band.

anyone have a jpg of the poster that's included in the box set?
