Here's a good way to test it out: this package shares 4 of the 5 albums, and it's $11.31 with free shipping: Amazon

She's trying to show she still has sex appeal at 47 after having a kid. A laudable effort; that's show biz.

On WMCA AM-the 'good guys'. Then Ramsey Lewis put it out and it was just as big. WMCA was the best radio station of all time. The variety of music they played helped shape my musical tastes.

Same original Pop Market release date 9/13/11 and same later date mass market release at 6/12/12. Does that include the availability date in England? The Shorter box has been available for some time as an import through Amazon resellers. I was using the Amazon USA release dates, but the amazonUK release dates are exactly the same. I purchased my Shorter box from Amazon on April 18. Earlier comments in this thread indicate availability since December. The Woody Shaw box has only recently become available on Amazon.

Got it! Very arcane process. Thanks, GA!

Amazon seems to be handling this offer differently than prior offers. I do not see the $3 under "Redeem a gift card or promotion code & view balance." It looks like I first need to log into AmazonLocal.

But it's an easy mistake to make - their clothes are identical!

Hmm, have not noticed that. Are you using iTunes Match or streaming from your computer? I'm using iTunes from my computer (not iTunes Match), with the "2 Speakers" option in iTunes. But there are so many other programs that communicate with the cloud (iCal, etc). It's just a guess on my part; I can't say definitively that's what's causing it. Interestingly, I don't hear breaks in the music from the remote speakers.

Popmarket just gets more and more retarded. So I tried contacting their customer service to see about my shipment. I filled out the "Contact Us" form on their website. When I press send, I get the following response: "The change you wanted was rejected. Maybe you tried to change something you didn't have access to." That's all it says. Amazing. This is customer service?

Britain's Hotel Indigo Newcastle may see an increase in thefts for the remainder of the year, and not because people are pilfering robes. The hotel is testing a two-week pilot program ending on July 16 that replaces traditional paper Bibles with Amazon Kindles. When a guest opens a nightstand drawer in search of some late-night reading, they will find an e-reader loaded with the Good Book, instead of the iconic Gideon's Bible, a hotel press release said.

No, this was absolutely a Blue Note cover, both front and back. I guess an open question is in what country was this issued? The next time I go there, I'll try to snap a picture of that part of the table. Actually, Dan, the next time you're in the area, you should check out the restaurant: Coalhouse Pizza. Really good pizza and excellent menu; don't knock it until you try it.

Same here.

So I've started using the AEX to stream music into a different room in the house. It works well, but I'm noticing one drawback: on playback (at least on my main computer), there are little breaks in the music. I think it happens when the computer is communicating with "the cloud."

There's a pizza place in Stamford that's jazz- and blues-themed: paintings on the walls, laminated tabletops each devoted to a different artist with magazine excerpts, CD covers, photos, etc. (The music they play, though, is always rock-based: Eric Clapton, Joe Bonamassa, Dave Matthews.) We sat at the Art Blakey table last weekend, and on the tabletop, there was a cover of a Blue Note release from Stockholm, Sweden, 11/23/59. Did this ever come out? A search of Amazon and jazzdisco.org revealed nothing.

I was listening to "Piazza Navona" from the MJQ Mosaic set (originally from The Comedy lp), and it occurred to me that a short snippet of it would make a great ringtone. Which other jazz performances, 5 - 10 seconds in length, would make a wonderful ringtone?

BRUSSELS—Universal Music Group Inc. has asked for more time to respond to concerns from European Union regulators over the company's proposed acquisition of the recording arm of EMI Group Ltd. and now is expected to reply by Thursday night, people close to the matter said Wednesday. The request signaled that the company was attempting to respond to a raft of complaints by antitrust regulators, set out in a document nearly 200 pages long. The initial deadline to respond to antitrust concerns was Tuesday and was extended to midnight Thursday. Universal was expected to submit its reply in time for the deadline, a person with close knowledge of the matter said. Complete article: WSJ

With the V-DAC, some reviewers suggest replacing the power supply. Did you do that, or is the one that came with the unit OK?

I'd like to beam an audio signal throughout my house, sort of my own radio station. I'm thinking of using an old Mac with an EHD holding my music library. iTunes on the Mac would beam the music signal. I could then hopefully use Airport Expresses and/or Apple TVs connected to stereos in different rooms. Is this doable? Would each receptor (Airport Express/Apple TV) need some sort of video screen? Will iTunes beam to multiple receptors (Airport Express/Apple TV), or will I need a software program like AirFoil? Ideally, I could use wi-fi iPods to receive the music signal, but I don't know if that's possible. Anyone have thoughts? Fortunately it is much simpler than that! old Mac + EHD, running iTunes, will work just fine as a digital source purchase an Airport Express (AEX) for each room that you want to play music in iTunes has a little piece of software that recognizes each AEX and so you will be able to beam to the AEX of your choose (or multiple AEXs simultaneously) the AEX then needs to be connected to a power source which is of course connected to your speakers as Deuterium mentions above, you can bypass the DAC in the AEX by using a digital cable to connect the AEX to a separate DAC, which then connects to the power source this step is optional I go this route for my two "serious" listening rooms but go straight from the AEX to the power source in my daughter's bedroom* if you have one, you can then use your iPod, iPad or iPhone as a remote there are plenty of audiophile enhancements that can be made (which I have not), but this will get you up and running and enjoying music happy to explain further if you like * in her room I have bypassed the separate power source as the AEX is connected to these powered speakers: http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-2 What's a good source (magazine, website, etc) to learn about various hardware and software items that are out there? For example, from where can I learn more about the DACs that are available? At some point, I'll need to get a new receiver, and it'd be nice to reimagine my system to best suit my current needs.

Believe it or not, those same downloads are now down to 99 cents each! WTF?!? Amazon

I'm enjoying this now. Some of it sounds very Blue Note-ish:

I don't think you can search for just a three-letter word; it won't return any results. I think the search term needs to be at least four letters long. Many posters have mentioned that the best way to search Organissimo is to use Google.

Amazon has a one-day sale today. No jazz, but some interesting recent pop albums for $1.99. I got Regina Spektor and the Black Keys; I already had the Beach Boys and Lionel Richie (don't laugh; it's a nice album!). Amazon

I see that, using the Remote app! Very cool. Weird that the one thing you can't do is actually have the iPod play the broadcasted feed, like the AppleTV or the AEX will.

This is really helpful. Will an Apple TV work instead of an AEX? An Apple TV is the same price as an AEX, so getting some of those may offer more possibilities in the long run.
