The Doomsters was the first of his that I read. I enjoyed every one, but it wasn't too long before I forgot the plots of each because they seemed like the same book over and over!

It's Claude's birthday today! Is he OK? He hasn't been here since last summer. Happy Birthday 2016 Claude Schlouch!

Does anyone here have any experience with SoundCloud? What is your opinion? Today they announced their new pay tier ($10/month) called SoundCloud Go. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/soundcloud%E2%80%99s-music-subscription-service-is-finally-here/ar-BBr4K8U?ocid=ansmsnnews11

Thanks, crisp. Your answer doesn't surprise me. Still, twenty bucks for four albums is appealling.

I forgot to post a link. https://www.bing.com/search?q=Patty+Duke&filters=tnTID%3a%22476620DD-6038-4e33-9E50-B51A4B019DB0%22+tnVersion%3a%221354482%22+segment%3a%22popularnow.carousel%22+tnCol%3a%222%22+tnOrder%3a%22d6466cdd-7a7f-4fef-b59d-e89972dc484f%22&FORM=HPNN01

Patty Duke died today. RIP. I think her hit "Please Don't Just Stand There" qualifies her for a place in the Artists forum. I remember when she followed Ed Asner as head of the actors' union.

felser, the new vinyl of Animalism is only $12.58 + $3.99. http://www.amazon.com/Animalism-Animals/dp/B000EEYCCO/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1459227278&sr=1-1&keywords=animals+animalism Have you looked at Amazon UK? http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dpopular&field-keywords=animals+animalism

I see that Amazon's pre-order price is only $10.82. I wonder what the story is behind the decision to price it so low. http://www.amazon.com/Holding-Stage-Road-Shows-Vol/dp/B01AVPGJYY/

Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings - Jump, Jive and Wail (4 CDs) - $19.99 prime http://www.amazon.com/Kings-Rhythm-Vol-Jump-Jive/dp/B01AWH626Q Does anyone have an opinion of this group?

I had a Catholic education, and we always had Easter Week off.

I received the new OAS with five Warner albums today. Maybe I'll get this Resonance for Christmas.

NAGEL HEYER RECORDS PRESENTS MARTY ELKINS Walkin' By The River AVAILABLE IN STORES AND ONLINE APRIL 1, 2016 Marty Elkins Vocals Jon-Erik Kellso Trumpet Howard Alden Guitar Joel Diamond Hammond C3 Organ Steve Ash Piano Lee Hudson Bass Taro Okamoto Drums New York, March 23, 2016 - Mentored by piano great Dave McKenna, tutored by the legendary Ann Marie Moss and supported by musical alchemist Allen Toussaint, Marty Elkins is fulfilling dreams - those of her own, and those of the fans who always knew she was a New York talent deserving much wider recognition. Her new record, Walkin' By The River, affirms everyone's belief; it finds Elkins interpreting a host of American Songbook standards. It is her third release on the German Nagel Heyer label. "I wanted to gather the songs that meant the most to me," the vocalist says, "tunes that feel timeless. My aim was to give them a shiny new coat and offer all a new way of hearing them." On Walkin' By The River Elkins tackles some traditional gems that harken across the decades ("Runnin' Wild," "Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea," "Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby,"), as well as less traveled tunes delivered with a twist ("Garbage Can Blues," "Down To Steamboat Tennessee," I'll Wind."). Throughout, she proves herself a songbird with heart, endowing these songs with lessons learned from the greats, from the likes of Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith and Louis Jordan. "Everything I've ever heard goes into my singing," Elkins continues,"as if the sound of the classic singers AND the sound of their records live inside me. I like to draw on that for inspiration." The evidence can be heard on Walkin' By The River. It is Exhibit A for her case: the artists who deserve wider recognition might just get it. "Her voice has a glowing roundness." - Downbeat Magazine "She knows how to ride a melody." - Cadence Magazine "Marty Elkins runs her own voodoo down." - Stanley Crouch TRACKS 01 If I Could Be With You (4:51) 02 Runnin' Wild (3:23) 03 Is You Is or Is You Ain't My Baby (5:24) 04 Garbage Can Blues (3:09) 05 When My Sugar Walks Down the Street (3:31) 06 Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin' (5:20) 07 There'll Be Some Changes Made (3:18) 08 Down To Steamboat Tennessee (5:38) 09 Comes Love (5:52) 10 Ill Wind (4:40) 11 I'll Never Be the Same (5:05) 12 Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (4:55) 13 Walkin' By the River (6:00) To listen to samples CLICK HERE ABOUT NAGEL HEYER RECORDS Located in Hamburg, Germany, the label's mission is to present the finest in modern and mainstream jazz.

GRAMMY-NOMINATED CLARINETIST AND CULTURAL VISIONARY DAVID KRAKAUER AND HIS BAND ANCESTRAL GROOVE PRESENT NEW RELEASE CHECKPOINT TWO NIGHTS AT NATIONAL SAWDUST PRE-RELEASE PERFORMANCE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 7 AT 9.30 PM. CD RELEASE EVENT ON FRIDAY, APRIL 8 AT 7 PM. MUSIC AVAILABLE IN STORES AND ONLINE APRIL 8, 2016. David Krakauer Clarinet Sheryl Bailey Electric Guitar Jerome Harris Electric Bass Michael Sarin Drums Jeremy Flower aka Keepalive Sampler SPECIAL GUESTS Rob Curto Accordion John Medeski Organ Marc Ribot Electric Guitar New York, February 25, 2016 - David Krakauer is considered to be one of the most singular clarinet virtuosos on the planet. But beyond that he brings a point of view to the table that is uniquely his own. Continuing on a path of constant self discovery, Krakauer introduces the music of his latest CD Checkpoint (Table Pounding Records), on two consecutive nights, April 7 and 8, at Brooklyn's newest hot spot, National Sawdust. Krakauer, a category-defying instrumentalist, uses his cultural heritage as a powerful inspiration for his music, informing and enabling his stylistically compelling projects. His is a singular vision, encompassing the diverse worlds of classical, klezmer, avant jazz, funk and electronica. For the past 25 years Krakauer has been on a musical journey tracing his Eastern European roots. This voyage has found him revisiting his "ancestral homeland," from where his Russian/Polish grandparents and great-grandparents immigrated at the end of the 19th century. Traveling east through Berlin before the Wall came down, the checkpoint experiences became momentous creative touchstones for Krakauer. Like a travel guide on a literal and metaphorical search, on Checkpoint he bears witness to the deep, joyous, human encounters he experienced. With his long-time band members of Ancestral Groove, he reveals the next step in his musical evolution - sharing with us all stories about the human condition. Ancestral Groove, with Sheryl Bailey on electric guitar, Jerome Harris on electric bass, Michael Sarin on drums/percussion, and Keepalive on electronics, creates a bridge between Krakauer's singular take on jazz and world music, and guides us to another musical adventure. His threespecial guests on the CD Rob Curto, John Medeski and Marc Ribot add their own signatures to the mix. Here's Krakauer remixing Krakauer, hitting the road with his unmistakable sound, new arrangements and an electrifying 4-piece band. Born and raised in New York City, Krakauer experienced early exposure to diverse cultural influences. He earned his reputation as a Klezmer specialist, then showcased his formidable talents in other musical arenas, such as classical music, electronica and jazz. He has shared stages as a group member and soloist with a wide array of artists, string quartets,chamber ensembles and symphony orchestras - among them, the Klezmatics, John Zorn, Fred Wesley, Dawn Upshaw, Itzhak Perlman, Osvaldo Golijov, Eiko and Koma, Leonard Slatkin, Iva Bitova, Kronos Quartet, Tokyo, the Emerson Quartet, the Orchestre de Lyon, the Orquestra Sinfonica de Madrid, the Phoenix Symphony, the Brooklyn Philharmonic, the Dresdener Philharmonie and the Detroit Symphony.
