Agreed and I also bought. We'll see how the vinyl makes the trip here.

OP here ... I noticed the same but did not make a difference. I have a friend who is a network guy who suspects my switch is bad. Evidently this is the device that keeps the trains (i.e. Ethernet cables) running on time. That does look cool. I think my devices are OK, which makes sense. Will post after I replace the switch.

Thanks everybody for their response. iTunes and AE firmware is all up to date. I will try the re-set. It has been a bit maddening as they all used to work flawlessly. Now it can take 20-30 seconds to "find" an Airport Express and I experience static and dropouts. Just added a new router to the system - did not seem to make a difference (I have Spectrum - the old Time Warner). Stefan - is this something a non-technical person can employ? I came across the Pi while researching alternatives. Are there any resellers/retailers you could recommend?

I have four stereos in the house and use an Airport Express with each one of them to stream music from my Mac or iPhone. Lately I have been having some issues with them not connecting. I have a combo of the older and newer models, but the issues seem random and unrelated to wifi signals. Does else use these devices to stream music and/or had problems with them? Any alternative devices. Since I am an iPhone/Mac guy, I really just need something that works with Airplay. Thanks!

Actually donated a huge chunk of vinyl to my university 10 years ago. Back when vinyl was "dead". Have not replaced a lot of it on vinyl, but wish I still had it.

Agreed. Would love see both his Muse LPs on CD - winners both.

At long last ... http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/CDSOL-45272?utm_source=MAIL&utm_medium=text-artistmail&utm_campaign=Hadley%20Caliman-20171102-person_prod-CDSOL-45272

Had one last week in Vegas. Awesome!

An email I received: I hope you are doing well! Just wanted to share a few things. First off, we are extremely grateful to inform you that our new crowdfunding campaign for the forthcoming documentary, Woody Shaw: Beyond All Limits, has raised a nice $2,000 since last Thursday! If I may say so — it is precisely because of generous fans and supporters like you that I feel so certain this project will be fully-funded and completed this year. I thank you, sincerely, for continuing to support this cause. The campaign ends June 10th, 2017, so if you haven't already pledged (or you would like to pledge again! ;-), please visit www.BeyondAllLimits.ws. Join The Woody Shaw Institute of Global Arts If you are an avid fan of Woody Shaw's music (of course you are!) and are interested in supporting his legacy for years to come, then one great way to make a pledge for the documentary is to begin your Founding Membership with The Woody Shaw Institute of Global Arts. This allows backers to support the new documentary while ensuring the ongoing preservation of Woody Shaw's music. The One-Year Founding Membership Includes: 20 Unreleased Hi-Res Woody Shaw Full-Concert Downloads 12x12 Woody Shaw Photo Print Beyond All Limits T-Shirt (Ltd. ed.) Printed Handwritten Woody Shaw Manuscript of "Beyond All Limits" (from organist Larry Young's 1965 Blue Note classic - UNITY) Private Facebook Group Access Bonus Footage, and Pre-Release Screening of the Documentary (2018) Please note that, once the documentary campaign is over, this particular membership offer may not be available again (Campaign Ends June 10, 2017). I sprung for this - could not resist the 20 unreleased concerts. Tax refund put to good use! It took a while to download and I am still converting the FLAC files. Easy, but time consuming.

Yeah, I received the same notice. Planning to wait for Dusty Grovve to re-stock.

Interesting! I presume that is the MTV VJ - J.J. Jackson?

So I was listening to a CD copy of "Electric Warrior" by T-Rex. It is a bonus track version issued in 2003. I was prepared to hit eject then heard Cuscuna introduce himself as he begins the interview with Marc Bolan. Interesting to hear him in this context. Candid, intelligent two-way exchange. Not sure if it can be streamed anywhere.

True, although I would argue it is slightly better than Spotify. My primary MO is to play music downloaded to my iphone. So a plus for Apple Music (versus Spotify) because both sets of music exist in the same app.

Yep, glad it is back

Yeah, this has been an "unmet want" of mine so long that I forgot about it. Would love to hear of a source.

Thanks for the update! I buy everything Sipiagin puts out.

I've looked for updates for several years, but found nothing. Can't seem to find a (current) thing about him on the web.

I discovered Highway One on vinyl a few years ago. I enjoyed it and it struck me as being in a similar vein as his later BN records. Pretty sure Un Poco Loco was out on CD at one point. It has John Abercrombie on guitar IIRC.

Nice CJ! Was it really 30 years ago? Have it spinning right now. Sounds like an old friend.

Happy Birthday!!!

Really, really enjoying this. Love the concept and track selections. "Within You, Without You" is sublime. Great cover too.

Wildly above my pay grade, but thought some of our musician members might find of interest: https://www.academia.edu/29182709/_The_Harmonic_Explorations_Of_Joe_Henderson_A_Study_By_A_Professional_Jazz_Musician_Of_His_Contribution_To_The_Modern_Jazz_Composition_And_Tenor_Saxophone_Sound_

Spun this all the way through today. Wow - what a treat. I knew the "One For One" cuts pretty well from the 1975 lp, but this thing is just chock full of intriguing and *FUN* music.
