  8. i used to be partial to klone cd-rs, purchased from american digital. then i got 100 taiyo yudens for only $27 with free shipping from these guys: runtechmedia.com. they sound great, and no coasters! i liked them enough to buy another 100.
  9. i know one "member" from new hampshire that might be interested.
  10. it ain't you that caused the confusion, it's my rapidly deteriorating brain. thanks for your help.
  11. so if i've got it straight, then the bottom image is the original cover of the Savoy lp MG12017. The upper image is a later reissue, even though the website clearly states that this is the "first cover." i'm not sure why you've introduced MG12018 into the conversation. that's a later date, although they both feature cannonball and klook.
  12. That's what I originally thought, but this very same site calls the top cover "the First Cover on SAVOY LP (USA) Release number MG 12017." So is this statement erroneous? If so, then what issue was graced by the top cover? As good as the site is, I have noticed some other discographical errors.
  13. okay, so you may have looked at the title of this thread and said to yourself, "what's with this knucklehead? he already answered his own question!" first off, as a shrink i can tell you it ain't good to be talking to yourself. and second, it's not the artist or title i'm looking for, it's the date, country, and the label info that ii want. here's one version, which i think is the first cover of the lp bohemia after dark on savoy in the u.s. (mg 12017). now here's the cover i need info on: as always, thanks in advance for any replies.
  14. want a knuckle sandwich?
  15. some of these titles are available at www.cybermusicsurplus.com for only $5.50, with free shipping on orders over $50 (in the u.s.). btw, the label is 1201, not 2001.
  16. email mosaic. they might have one.
  17. that's a misleading headline. the man is a former prosecutor, someone who may have made enemies among his former peers for his later actions as a defense attorney. two more things: 1) this is nyc's top prostitute? oh well, she was canada's 1996 tapdance champion, and she danced with gregory hines at the montreal jazz festival in 1998. 2) $60,000 is nothing for an mercedes. check out this puppy, which i saw in the "flesh" at my dad's dealership last year. only $600,000!
  18. This Monday marks the 78th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther King, Jr. On Monday evening, Eric Jackson hosts my favorite jazz radio show of the year. From 8pm-midnight EST on Boston's WGBH 89.7, Jackson features excerpts from King's speeches and the great jazz music inspired by his ideals. Here's an example: If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. Say that I was a drum major for righteousness ... I won't have the fine and luxurious things in life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind ... If I can help somebody as I pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a word or song, if I can show somebody he is traveling wrong, then my living will not be in vain. –From The Drum Major Instinct, 1968 You can hear the live stream of the show here: WGBH Just click on the "radio" icon on the left, then click on the "listen live" icon. Enjoy!
  19. Revamping of EMI Begins With Management Shake-Up By JEFF LEEDS NewYorkTimes.com Published: January 12, 2007 In an unexpected shake-up, the British music giant EMI Group has fired its chief of recorded music, Alain Levy, ahead of a broad reorganization aimed at reviving the flagging company, according to executives briefed on the plan. The sudden move, expected to be announced today, follows a series of setbacks at EMI, including a string of failed merger negotiations with a rival, the Warner Music Group, and the poor sales performance of the pop star Janet Jackson. The exits of Mr. Levy and his longtime deputy, David Munns, are expected to be accompanied by a profit warning that will underscore the company’s financial woes, according to the executives, who declined to be identified because they are not authorized to speak publicly. EMI’s chairman, Eric L. Nicoli, is also expected to orchestrate a wider revamping that will result in significant layoffs, they said. An EMI spokeswoman declined to comment. Mr. Levy could not be reached. The ouster of Mr. Levy comes about five years after he was recruited to bolster the performance of the company, which ranks last in sales in the United States among the four major music conglomerates. EMI’s share of total sales in the American market dipped last year to 10.2 percent, from about 10.4 percent, according to Nielsen SoundScan. While artists like Norah Jones and Coldplay have sold well on Mr. Levy’s watch, a handful of important management decisions did not turn out as planned. Mr. Levy’s first choice to run EMI’s Virgin Records label, Matt Serletic, failed to turn that unit around after several costly years. (Mr. Serletic was ousted in October 2005.) More recently Mr. Levy and Mr. Munns brought in the producer Jermaine Dupri to lead Virgin’s black music unit and oversee the return of his girlfriend, Ms. Jackson. But her album “20 Y.O.” has failed to hold up on the music charts and so far has sold just more than 600,000 copies domestically. It is one of the worst sales performances of her career. The ouster of the two executives comes as pressure has been mounting on Mr. Nicoli to deliver on his effort to line up with Warner Music or find another route to improve EMI’s performance amid stagnant music sales. Most recently Mr. Nicoli had been in talks about a sale of the company to private equity investors. It was not clear last night whom EMI would appoint to replace Mr. Levy. There is speculation that Mr. Nicoli might turn to Roger Ames, a former chairman of Warner Music who lately has been a consultant to EMI. Mr. Ames could not be reached. Any new manager of EMI’s labels will have to confront a music marketplace that is straining to adapt to the digital era. Album sales continue to slide, and analysts say it will be years before sales of digital music and mobile ring tones make up for the lost revenue.

  25. Has anyone checked out the new recording by Brian Groder? It features Groder on trumpet and flugelhorn, Sam Rivers on flute and saxophones, Doug Mathews on bass, and Anthony Cole on drums. I was not familiar with Groder before this date, and picked it up largely on the strength of the other players. I like it a lot, and it's recorded rather well. I'd be interested in hearing what other people think. Here's a link to sound clips on Groder's website: Torque and at CdBaby: Torque And here's the cover:
