A compilation CD will appear in Album View as a compilation as long as "Part of a Compilation?" is checked in that album's info. The artist name that appears is "Various Artists." If this field is not checked, then every artist on that compilation will appear separately.

Is it this one?

He was 95. I do think people are living longer these days. USA Today

Sorry to hear you're having troubles. I use 11.0.5.5 on my Mac and it works fine. I have given Apple my credit card #, though. I've seen no unauthorized purchases.

Yeah, unfortunately, you also need to back up the (your computer name)/Music/iTunes folder. That's the folder which contains your artwork and other song data.

Aren't you guys scared that those torrent sites compromise your computer's security?

And books... Here's to a great jazz ambassador; she and Billy Taylor can play some duets in heaven. RIP.

I have the images. In older version you can select add art work. Now it is Get art work and it doesn't let you add any art work that you may already have. I don't think that's correct. Here's how to add artwork (I have a Mac): 1) Right-click on the album in iTunes and select "Get Info." A window, "Multiple Item Information," opens. One field is square, and is labeled "Artwork." 2) Find a jpg of the album cover; you can use Google Images, Amazon, iTunes, Organissimo, or wherever. You can even scan your own artwork. 3) Drag the jpg to the "Artwork" field, then hit OK.

It might be that the album isn't carried in the iTunes store; if it isn't, they don't have the artwork. It's pretty simple to find and copy the artwork from Google Images.

I think you're right. It's fun listing them, though.

It's interesting how this article compresses his career after 1964 into one paragraph.

Just saw this on Amazon; no release date listed. Amazon

I saw Jackie McLean backed by Cedar's trio at the Vanguard about a year before Jackie passed. It was around Christmas time. Cedar opened with his own set. A very magical evening. RIP, and thanks for all you've given.

I can't figure out how to post a sound clip here.

I was at the last show on the tour (Central Park, NYC) and saved it on a cassette recorder. I liked it, but not sure what all the fuss is about. Some groups you get to the core, and others you feel like a spectator, watching everyone else swoon. Powerful group, don't get me wrong. But not a lot of it seemed improvised, so will one concert really be different from the next? On that last concert, Fripp made a point of thanking his road crew. It was interesting to hear him speak, thanking his road crew at a rock show in an almost Oxfordian dialect.

Some questions regarding this box: 1) I see that there were 5 individual releases of "Debut Rarities." Do these cover everything on the box other than complete albums otherwise available (Ada Moore, Mingus at the Bohemia, etc.)? 2) Is there any way to get the non-overdubbed Massey Hall concert other than on this box?

I think the structure of a bulletin board is very conducive to what we discuss. Most of our posts would just get lost in a continuous feed a la Facebook. The one thing we lack is an index of musician threads.

The Adderley is very nice. Brazilian jazz but with a harder partying edge. Recorded in Brazil, IIRC. Band includes George Duke, Nat, Roy McCurdy, with guests Flora Purim and Airto. I'd pick it up.

Someone who likes "Flight For Four" should write a review on Amazon. It seems lonely sitting there with no reviews...

Thanks...I actually have most of it on a Fresh Sound release that combined the two Bethlehem Dexters, but they left off one track. I find the Levey album more enjoyable and notable than "Daddy Plays The Horn" (though I like that too).

As I recall, when Bethlehem reissues came out in the late '70's, they were owned by Salsoul. So I think the only news here is they're now distributed by Naxos. Still waiting for Stan Levey's "This Time The Drum's On Me."

There is such nice interplay among the musicians.

Just finished listening to this. So enjoyable. Eddie and band had that deep groove, unhurried swing, and Eddie's tone is just wonderful. If you need to fill your late-period Ben Webster fix, Eddie's your man.

Looks like prices went way up this morning. The Giddins, for example, is now $9.99. Oh well!
