eMusic now has a Hat title for download: Joe Maneri - Coming Down The Mountain

Here's a radio broadcast that Jackie and Roy did in 1979. RIP. http://crooksandliars.com/gordonskene/newstalgia-downbeat-jackie-roy-and-lee

Up.

Just finished listening to the box. Was surprised how much I liked the last 2 albums: Borderline and Get Rhythm. Superior stuff.

Release date November 11: In the legendary Captain Beefheart discography, attention usually focuses on the carefully wrought, experimental music heard on Trout Mask Replica. As a consequence, the three stellar albums recorded soon after Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot are often overlooked. Rhino intends to change that with a four-disc collection that revisits the albums Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) recorded with the Magic Band in the early Seventies. It includes all three albums, which have been remastered for the first time, as well as an entire disc featuring 14 previously unissued outtakes from that era.

Dispute over Duke Ellington royalties in court - Seattle Times. Interesting legal case.

Massive Paul McCartney tribute CD due - Dylan sings Things We Said Today - Seattle Times.

I like the late Milt Jacksons.

It looks like the iPod classic is totally gone. I tried looking for it online: no one had it in stock.

Try ripping an exact copy to a new CD blank, either by using Toast or similar software on your computer, or by using a digital connection (via a Toslink cable) between a CD player and a recordable CD player. Then see if the new rip will play in your Arcam. I've had good success with this technique.

How is this one? I've never heard of it: UCCU-90082 Milt Jackson & Ray Brown Memphis Jackson [Limited Release]

Very sad; RIP. I greatly enjoy the Mosaic set. What I most remember Sample for, of course, was his huge commercial explosion: Street Life and Carmel. Huge, huge sellers, played everywhere.

The iPod classic doesn't have wifi. But if you buy a replacement device that does have wifi, you can get something like this: This is a Seagate Wireless Plus 2TB Mobile Cloud Storage with Built-in WiFi Streaming (STCV2000100), but lots of manufacturers make similar devices. It basically broadcasts its own wifi signal. So you'd load your music onto it, then connect your device to it via wifi, and listen throughout your house.

I can't speak to the Zune, but there are ways to repurpose old iPods and make them still useful. For example, my alarm clock has an older iPod connection. I use the TuneIn Radio app on that iPod, and am able to wake up to any radio station without static.

I still own one of these - the original iPod shuffle. While it's not very practical (most controls are on the headphones), I love its minimalist design, just beautiful.

This week's Rhino Mono Monday album is Max Roach's Drums Unlimited.

One thing that intrigues me about Prestige are the obscure musicians who appear on some of their recordings. Leaving aside that I've never heard of Buddy Terry, I certainly have never heard of Jiggs Chase or Robbie Porter. These help tell a story that jazz isn't just about "stars" or "geniuses," but also of a whole community of largely-untold musicians. Makes it more interesting.

It's also in the recent Jazz On Vogue box.

I started this thread, and I hereby grant permission to recommend Prestige dates never released on CD. Carry on.
