Ted Gioia on 25 Things I Want from an Online Music Service (and Almost Never Get) my own list would look different I guess, and I can't say I agree with all but the first point "Allow me the option of making a cash payment directly to the recording artist. Many fans feel that streaming services give a raw deal to musicians, and want to make amends for using them. Make it easy for us to do so." ie some "direct transfer to the artist" button in spotify I find a really interesting idea

here are some more line-up details http://www.loc.gov/item/jots.200020105 I believe Don Thompson (not the better-known Canadian bass player) was the tenor player in the quintet; most interesting line-up detail might be Michael Snow of New York Eye and Ear Control fame, seen as the pianist in trombonist Alf Jones' Quartet near the end of the film...

there was a CD baby release http://www.allmusic.com/album/eagle-eye-blues-mw0001554915 and there is the Laughing Soul: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughing_Soul

Thank you !!

Happy Birthday!!

the B-side can also be heard here

this thread is just as good as any thread, to say that a place where amiri baraka can't have his rip thread, just because he was too complex and full of hate, is a sad place.

always fascinated to see that there does exist a world where artists like terence blanchard or christain mcbride do fulfill the "new miles" or "new mingus" promises that were ascribed to them when i discovered jazz 20 years ago...

today would have been my dad's 64th birthday (and he died in 99)... I wish you all the best!

apparently, it was suicide, not an "ordinary drug overdose", there are various posts on Bill Reed's blog about her, e.g. http://people-vs-drchilledair.blogspot.de/2005/05/beverly-kenney-postscript.html

keeping my fingers crossed for you too (less than 200km walking distance), had increasingly bad luck with stuff not arriving recently otherwise

very busy at the moment, my books arrived in Europe about a week ago, first impression is great (of course), but I haven't read much - thank you!

almost certain, the access to your hard drive (??!!) is not due to Spotify themselves but rather to some "record label" which uploads its downloads (from wherever) to spotify. don't know if this makes you feel any better, but unless, say, 100000 people listen to it (unlikely), there will be no revenues that deserve the name to whoever did it...

Boo-ren or "Bew-ren", i'd say i.e. the dutch "oe" is a long "u"

Happy Birthday!

Gnostic Preludes was released last spring actually, so maybe it's a new album with the same group? Kenny Wollesen is the vibes player on several of my recent Zorn favorites (Nova Express, At the Gates of Paradise, Mount Analogue)

in case someone else is interested, Robert Stewart has most of his albums for free download on his webpage: http://www.therobertstewartexperience.com/discography.html

generally, the best place for finding Nimbus West releases is at the source: http://www.nimbuswest.com/files/html/CDs.htm if the Morgan album works for you, there's more there...

second the recommendation of the Nate Morgan Album, it's a bit like a smaller-scale, 80s, A Love Supreme

if you pledge more than 25$ you receive "a signed copy of 'TWO' a duo recording with Jemeel Moondoc and Connie Crothers" which seems like a highly unlikely combination on paper

according to wikipedia, Galeta left SA in 1961, recording with Bobby Hutcherson and Woody Shaw in 1973 - so most likely the answer is no

not a complete answer at all but apparently he is now called Kalim Zarif and can be seen here:

here's a discography (no leader albums apparently) http://www.jazzlists.com/ and here's a 1992 obit
