From what I've learned from this thread, especially Shawn's 10/15 posting, your "iTunes Library.itl" file needs to be in this location: Macintosh HD/Users/(your name)/Music/iTunes. If you used the Migration Assistant, it should be there. Since it's the same EHD as before, iTunes should then open up smoothly. As a precaution, in iTunes open up Preferences, and make sure that under "Advanced" the iTunes Media folder location is correct. If you've bought any mp3's from the iTunes store, make sure your new computer is registered there correctly. It probably will be; the only hitch could be if you've already had 5 Macs registered, which is the limit. If that happens, deregister all of them, and then reregister the ones you use now.

That's OK; the only reason I knew of the existence of the earlier thread is because I started it!

Discussed, for a minute, here.

BTW, I strongly suggest you get AppleCare. For $99, it stretches the tech support from 90 days to 3 years (and the warranty from 1 year to 3). They've walked me through many a situation, and you can stretch it to all sorts of peripherals (connectivity to an iPod or an EHD, for example).

I recently bought a CD copy of Jazz Guitar through CDJapan. It appears to contain the unedited tracks: Stomping At The Savoy, 4:41 Things Ain't What They Used To Be, 5:50 This Is Always, 2:52 Thanks For The Memory, 5:19 Tangerine, 4:33 Stella By Starlight, 4:00 9:20 Special, 5:46 Deep In A Dream, 4:36 Look For The Silver Lining, 5:08 Seven Come Eleven, 4:31

True. Very weird. Missing is the album Blues Caravan. Cannot figure out why.

There are lots more on iTunes. Do a search for "Capitol Vaults Jazz Series." 16 titles appear. All of these were either Mosaic boxes or Selects. Also, the Buddy Rich is available (search for Buddy Rich Verve), as is the Gerry Mulligan ("The Complete Verve Concert Band") and Carmell Jones. Probably more too. The Selects are usually a great deal (the Carmell Jones is $15.99). Also Duke Ellington (The Reprise Studio Recordings). Also Johnny Hodges (The Complete Verve Small Sessions 1956-1961). Dinah Washington (The Complete Roulette Collection). Tal Farlow (The Complete Verve Sessions). Roy Eldridge (The Complete Verve Studio Sessions).

There are lots more. Buddy Rich, Gerry Mulligan, Elvin Jones, tons of Selects... Also on Amazon, usually for a few dollars less. There have been other threads here regarding this. http://www.amazon.com/s?rh=n%3A163856011%2Ck%3Acapitol+vaults+jazz+series%2Cp_n_feature_browse-bin%3A625150011&keywords=capitol+vaults+jazz+series&ie=UTF8&qid=1452227958

Happy birthday!

Re Attila Zoller, I like these two:

Not sure what you mean by "All of my shit." My guess is you're referring to your music files, and the rest (operating system, apps, etc.) are on your old computer's hard drive. Assuming your old computer's operating system is up to date (OS X El Capitan version 10.11.2), you can follow Apple's instructions (found here).

Interestingly, the extra track of Bean And The Boys is a different take than the one included in Hawkins! Eldridge! Hodges! - Alive! At The Village Gate.

I'm listening now to Hawkins! Alive! At The Village Gate (Verve, 1962). On "Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho," Major Holley does one of those solos where he sings the notes he's bowing. Is there a name for this technique? Anyway, he's pretty good at it. What other notable solos can you name?

I recently ordered through CDJapan Hawkins! Alive! At The Village Gate. FYI, this has 2 additional tracks from the same night not on the LP: Bean And The Boys and If I Had You.

How many albums did he record as leader? It's interesting that there was a consistent output from him through the decades.

If you're worried about Spotify collecting your data, you should be terrified by Google.

Check out his Wikipedia page - fascinating life story.

Me too - I had the problem with the middle disc in all 4 cases.

Unfortunately, Wikipedia incorrectly lists Barry Harris, etc., as playing on Argo 629: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Stitt_(album)

I love how the artist on so many of the dates is "Be-Hive." Just minor annoyances stemming from whoever entered this data into Gracenote. I've often wondered whether we can submit corrected data to them. I just don't know the procedure, or whether it's allowed.

I recently found a used copy of the mono version of the LP. Very interesting stuff. Very composed, nice arrangements. Almost like the second coming of the Jazztet, with Farmer, Tom McIntosh and James Moody handling the front line, and a rhythm section of Tommy Flanagan, Richard Davis and Tootie Heath. Would love to have accurate discographical information, since one track (Giant Steps) is from a different session, with Patti Bown and Reggie Workman replacing Flanagan and Davis. Would also like to know more about this group: was it intended as a real group, or a one-time thing with a group name to allow Farmer to record despite his Atlantic contract?

Boy, I feel for you; I know how it is to put so much effort into your collection only to be waylaid by unthinking machines. As to how to break the link between your iTunes and the Cloud, you might try going to your account information in iTunes (in iTunes, go to the iTunes store, then click on your name in the upper right corner and choose Account Info); then explore the section "iTunes in the Cloud."

The rest of the movie:

Excellent. So interesting to hear Sonny at a loss for words when trying to describe Lester's playing (he even gazes somewhere else, not at the interviewer, as if to grasp/describe something beyond him - and this is Sonny Rollins!). Reinforces for me how music acts on and operates within portions of the brain/mind that have nothing to do with description, rational thought or our more prosaic modes of existence; music is somewhere else.

He starred in a great little movie, "The Gig." It's about a bunch of amateur jazz musicians who get a real gig in the Catskills, and the complications that ensue. Never on DVD, very hard to find...but then there's YouTube:
