New release. Details according to Google translator : Wayne Shorter has returned to Blue Note Records. Work from the same label as the leader of the release will be the first time in 43 years the "Without A Net". The quartet is led by Danilo Perez (piano), John Patito~utchi (bass), Brian Blade called (drum), familiar. "Was one of the most outstanding musicians of our time is proud composer Wayne Shorter is" I Don Was is the president of Blue Note Records said. At the age of 80 ", the powerful but its reached a peak, you can be greeted by Blue Note Records Wayne for the first time in years. 43 bands deserve to be called the highest among his career is supporting it As the idea, but it's a romantic lies in refusing obstinately to be drowning in nostalgia that. fact, "Without A Net" Index was also E be a board must listen so much, enduring attraction of his advancing constantly It's because there is such a strong determination Shorter himself wants to continue. " Shorter is described in this way, the musical journey of discovery that they seek always thought himself. I challenge that you create a "Schwarzschild radius", "specificity. That it is repeated," How now, artists we have to face, "cycle behavior the ego to the right and left, to tie up human beings because , they closed the entrance of life named the ultimate adventure.'s why, man I must We need to break the cycle. " "Without A Net" is a roller coaster of music by all 9 tracks on this disc with a focus on the live recording from the Wayne Shorter Quartet European Tour in late 2011. Poem only "Pegasus" by the sound of 23 minutes is something that earlier was recorded welcomed the Imani Winds in Los Angeles, Walt Disney Concert Hall. "Orbitz" It's new songs from the pen of his Shorter 6 songs in the Track songs Movies 2 Shorter "Plaza Real" and (album "Miles Smiles" Miles Davis) that (included Weather Report "Pro Sessions") has been transformed into a new version. The title track is taken from the "era air Revue" musical film of 1933, as his first film co-starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, will be familiar to through movies like Shorter. Without a net and the meaning is that, without a safety net. I seem to have caught on film aerial scenes Revue. (From Label Info)

And the series continues, scroll down to the February 20th release date: http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/search/advanced_1/category_1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5%2C7%2C9%2C10%2C23%2C24/formattype_1/genre_Jazz_800/labelcode_TO/pagesize_1/year_2013/?fmtCd=on

Absolutely, thanks for providing the link. I really don't think any of them (or ... us ) believe they are procuring a true original. It is however, a great way to possess something that very nearly replicates what you could never afford - and probably sounds great to boot.

Heineken does = stale piss, horrible I started drinking local brews 10+ years ago and now all the big brewer stuff tastes skunky. Probably always did, there just weren't a bunch of alternatives back in the day.

Sadly have to agree. As noted above, hopefully this will be a net plus to the overall Mosaic operation.

Not to hijack the thread, but would you mind to share more details about your Vortexbox setup? I went the Olive music server route a couple years ago and while their concept is cool, their execution (on both the hw and sw side) has been disappointing ...

Considering the fact that most of us here have large collections, I'm kind of amazed that nobody but me seems to be complaining about (or just disappointed with) the new search function. As I said, I used it frequently, and it was an amazing tool. The way it worked in 10.7, you could (for example) search for all the versions of "Walkin'" by Miles Davis, just by typing in "Miles walkin". Because I stored personnel data in the "comments" field, I could even add a third element in the search- the name of a sideman. You could just type in the text ("Miles walkin Cannonball"), and every track containing those words would come up in a list (not a dropdown menu), which you could scroll through, sort, edit, whatever. Just an amazing resource, not just to find something to listen to, but to look at things like a discographer, or to edit files as a group. They have almost completely taken that function away now. I miss cover flow like most people who are unhappy with 11, but that's a relatively minor beef for me, compared to the butchering of the search function. I've been on the Apple forums looking for info on downgrading/reverting back to 10.7, and there's one person who is telling me I can easily achieve it by using Time Machine (which we bought along with an external backup drive about two years ago). If anybody here has thoughts on this, I'm still seeking more opinions from anyone who is computer savvy. Not only did they kill the cover flow, but they also removed the cover art from the sidebar view. I know it is now at the top, albeit in a smaller version (which can be clicked on to produce the larger image). Makes you wonder why they decided to semi-crap on the whole cover art concept? Like Jim, I never really used cover flow other than for fun, but it was fun

Not trying to give you a hard time - what new features or changes do you like? I see some things as a little better and some a little worse, but nothing radical either way. The way they had hyped this, I was expecting much more.

done

only 16 minutes of music, but still ... :) http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/wes-montgomery/concerts/newport-jazz-festival-july-03-1967.html

and another

anybody know the answer? on one issue the words "form" and "byrd" are green and on another they are red maybe green = lp and red = CD (although I see some red lps on ebay) I have the mid-80s lp which is green yes, things are a little slow around here

of course one could go this route ... http://www.audiophileusa.com/item.cfm?record=97416

Agree, it is worth checking out. I paid the $1.99 to gain full access. Between this and their Spotify app, they are being as progressive as any record label out there. Not commenting on the economics of Spotify and/or this app. But in terms of a quality presentation, they are both very good and I would argue useful even for a "veteran" listener. And at the end of the day, what a great way to introduce the music to new listeners - I can't imagine what it would have been like to have these resources as I started listening to the music 30 years ago! One thing I am noticing on the iPad app is that they do not present the full catalogs for a particular artist. Also, some of the songs are "not available" but are "coming soon". I think the links to news articles are pretty cool, a bunch of them come from the NY Times from the last 20 years. Videos are cool too ... they are pulling in stuff from youtube and other sources. Watching Big John Patton play "Fungi Mama" ... pretty cool!

Thanks for the pics! What did they charge you for shipping? $7.95 according to my receipt from April.

Just received this in the mail yesterday. Very well done - it does have similarities with the Miles sets, but 1) pages are easier to turn and b) the font is large enough to actually read - largest I have ever seen on a box set (see below) I have not listened to the music yet, but am very pleased with the presentation.

Always liked this one ... and the Bud Powell that came out on the same series.

Interesting - he also talks about being booted off a Duke Pearson BN date in favor of Kenny Burrell. Ike Quebec gave him $10 and said "go home kid". So the Hank date came along ten years later ... All this is discussed starting around the 20 minute mark of the video Was Kenny Burrell on a Duke Pearson session? I wondered the same thing. Did a little searching ... only thing I could find was A New Perspective which of course is a Donald Byrd record. Interesting - he says '63, but the video "corrects" it to 1959, around the time of the Duke Pearson trio albums (upon which it does not appear that KB appears). He also mentions Israel Crosby and Arthur Edgehill on the date. A little Googling reveals nothing about these guys on record together Makes me kind of curious ... He goes on to say that Lion and Wolff were brothers - he didn't know why they had two last names and that they were from South Africa ...
