This is a great article full of nice info-graphics on the streaming industry. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/how-music-streaming-money/?fbclid=IwAR3uFRbiKAZUokDoHcO3N-zTx-TUGKkPdPOzdbguV-20kCITQH66Fh4CMvQ It ends with this depressing statement: Currently, artists can increase their chances of being featured on more playlists and ultimately earn more money by altering their music based on streaming platform algorithms. For example, artists only get paid if their song is listened to for 30 seconds, which results in much shorter songs that open with the chorus to keep the listener’s attention. While streaming platforms continue to provide more avenues for artists to get in front of the right ears, many industry critics argue that music is no longer about creating something for pure enjoyment, but rather about using a formulaic approach to make more money. Is the future of music safe in the hands of tech giants?

Sweet! This is one of my favorite Liebman/Beirach recordings.

The Columbia Years (1943-1952): The Complete Recordings - Frank Sinatra This is a 12 CD set, I'm listening to the 1st CD. Most tunes include the Bobby Tucker Singers.

Just finished listening to Devotion - Dave Douglas's most recent release. I've always liked his work but for some reason this morning I feel like this is a rehash of older material. It isn't Uri Caine or Andrew Cyrille as both were superlative. It is more of how Dave's embellishments are predictable.

This is such an awesome thread to read. It's both informative and full of community.
