Of course. It's been so long since I've listened to radio through my stereo that it skipped my mind.

Release date October 9: The planets align this October as the mighty Sun Ra Arkestra, under the direction of the maestro Marshall Allen, release their first studio album in over twenty years, 'Swirling'. Recorded at Rittenhouse Soundworks in Philadelphia, the new recording represents the continuation of a heartfelt rebirth of the Arkestra under Allen's guidance since Sun Ra left the planet in 1993, gaining new generations of followers from their regular touring across the globe. With a big band line-up featuring long-standing Arkestra members including Danny Ray Thompson (RIP), Michael Ray, Vincent Chancey, Knoel Scott, Cecil Brooks, Atakatune (RIP), Elson Nascimento and Tyler Mitchell, the album is a full-blooded celebration of Sun Ra's legacy.

To be clear: under Catalina, Apple split the old iTunes program into three new programs: Music, TV, and Podcasts, and syncing is now done through Finder. They simply split the functionality of the old iTunes into these three new programs. Nothing has been deleted and nothing "no longer works." None of your old music, movies, etc., have been deleted; you just access them through different icons. Arguably, this was done because the old iTunes program was getting too unwieldy, too much like a Swiss Army Knife, and this simplifies things.

A receiver combines an amp (power) and a pre-amp (switching among components, volume and tone controls). So you have in one box what others have in two (or more).

I don't know; it might.

Yes. Once you see your iPod in Finder and select it, click "Music" in the top row (should be to the right of "General"). Then, under "Sync:", choose "Selected artists, albums, genres, and playlists". Then click "Playlists" (to the right of "Artists," "Albums," "Genres") and check the playlist you want to sync.

In iTunes, create a new playlist. Drag into this playlist everything you want on your iPod. Then sync only that playlist with your iPod. I believe that will solve your problem.

Are your computers Apple or Windows? There was a recent thread on this topic: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/84952-apple-music-app/#comment-1687778 As I mentioned in that thread, my older iPods (all 30-pin) sync with the most current version of macOS. I can't speak to Windows, if that's what you use, but could it be that is the source of your problems?

That's pretty scary, isn't it?

Cuscuna's original liner notes stated "The material from this session was never issued. The reason was probably not the music, which was excellent, but the fact that it was recorded only in mono at a time when stereo was growing rapidly."

I just stumbled across this - sounds plausible: https://www.kcrw.com/music/articles/how-chet-baker-really-died

Are you always this belligerent? Actually, I already know the answer.

I guess you're not understanding my question. Does anyone else know?

But which one of the 8 is it?

I'm curious about the display "system" that the Internet Archive uses. At the "Julia" link above, there are 9 files. The first is just titled "Julia," and the other 8 have more technical titles, relating to the type of stylus used for the transfer and whether the transfer was flat or used EQ. So is the one just titled "Julia" the best of the 8, or is it some combination of the 8? Or were there 9 transfers? If it is the best, which one is it? A clue might lie in the sentence "The preferred versions suggested by an audio engineer at George Blood, L.P. have been copied to have the more friendly filenames," but I'm thrown by the use of plurals. "The preferred versions...more friendly filenames." Is the one just named "Julia" the preferred version, or are all 8 (or 9) preferred versions?

Basie! And I thought she was British so was surprised by the lack of an English accent, but I now see she came to the U.S. when she was four. What a delight. RIP.

I looked at their website. An interesting little wrinkle is that at least one of their titles is licensed from Sony Music: https://www.sleepynight-shop.com/product/memories-of-maynard-the-best-of-the-columbia-years Boy, they're offering a lot of Maynard Ferguson.

I kept the original LP (US ECM) of Chick Corea/Gary Burton in Zurich because the cover, as printed, is simply gorgeous - the detail, the color, and the pairing of the front cover and back (same photo perspective, but taken as the sun was setting).

Release date August 7: On Two Part Solution, Frank Basile and Sam Dillon play baritone and tenor saxophone, respectively. It's a front-line pairing as rare as, well, peanut butter and fried pickles. But in the hands of these young lions, the combination sounds so good, so natural, it makes you question why we're not hearing baritone/tenor saxophone quintets pouring out of every open window. Release date September 11: The new record from saxophonist Mark Hynes, features the late bassist Dennis Irwin in a rare unreleased recording. With the dynamic drummer Darrell Green, the trio swings joyously with a modern panache. A veteran sideman, Irwin was diagnosed with terminal cancer before the album could be completed. A bonus track is dedicated to him, with Yasushi Nakamura on bass and Jerome Jennings on drums.

I ordered the Larry Young, Charles Lloyd, Freddie Hubbard, Flanagan and Byard, Dennis Coffey, and the two Grant Greens. $71.98 + shipping.

Import CDs is having a sale on some Bear Family titles: https://www.importcds.com/bear-family-sale/b240883?utm_campaign=IC_071720_Bear_Family_2008291701&utm_content=touchpoint_1_ic_071720_bear_family_2008291701&utm_medium=email&utm_source=zaius#!?pagenum=1

But it was issued "in the CD era."

How are the Grant Greens?

They were also available on this King Records release from 1983: https://www.discogs.com/Jimmy-Smith-The-Singles/release/5222339
