Release date November 3: "The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Live from the Northwest, 1959" is the newest release from Brubeck Editions, the family-run label that only puts out music of the highest musical and technical quality. These exciting performances were recorded by the trailblazing and iconic audio engineer, Wally Heider, who pioneered the art of remote recording from his "studio on wheels." The sound he achieved is stellar, and this is perhaps the best live recording you can hear of one the most popular jazz groups of all time. The tapes were recorded in April, 1959 at the Multnomah Jazz Club and Clark College, both in the Portland, Oregon area. On this recording you can hear the Quartet's mastery of spontaneous counterpoint improvisation. Four months later, the Dave Brubeck Quartet's focus shifted to polytonal and polyrhythmic approaches when the group recorded the legendary "Time Out", and changed the course of jazz forever. The CD contains 2 tracks not found on the LP. Track Listing: When the Saints Go Marching In Basin Street Blues These Foolish Things (Bonus Track - Not on LP) Gone With the Wind Multnomah Blues (Bonus Track - Not on LP) Two Part Contention The Lonesome Road

Release date November 10: Wes Montgomery - "The Complete Full House Recordings".

Featuring Johnny Griffin, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Jimmy Cobb, this collection has new liner notes by journalist Bill Milkowski and is mastered from the original analog tapes by Joe Tarantino.

Disc 7.

There was that, and also there were format wars - much like VHS and Beta, there were incompatible formats marketed from different labels. Quadraphonic records were only marketed for a short time (1974-75). The interesting thing about these Warner releases is they're using the original quad mixes, so presumably the quad Mingus Moves is the mix Mingus approved.

The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 14. Also includes Le Carnaval des animaux from this:

I've read a few articles recently about the new economics of the music business. Here's one, which is long but which I found really interesting: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/12/12/so-you-want-to-be-a-tiktok-star Here's what's relevant to your question: Swift built her career during the file-sharing era, which changed the business model for many artists, shifting the main source of revenue away from recorded music, which can be pirated, and toward ticket sales to live events. The pandemic ended the touring economy almost overnight. Live-streamed concerts tried to fill the void, but they were pale substitutes for the real thing. With everyone stuck at home, TikTok became the show. Tours returned in full force in 2022, but the TikTok algorithm has remained the sun around which the music industry orbits, and the arbiter-in-chief of what’s hot. Top Ten songs on radio and streaming charts often start trending first on TikTok. As many as a hundred thousand new tracks are now released by record labels and individual musicians every day on any number of platforms. Having a viral video attached to part of a song is one of the few ways to capture anyone’s attention. Virality also tilts the arcane economics of streaming in the copyright holders’ favor, because the worth of any single stream is based on the percentage of a streaming platform’s total monthly streams that the song commands. In other words, a lot of listens in a short amount of time will make you more money per stream than a slow-burner will. In a nutshell: People make TikTok videos. They're short, but they still need music. If the TikTok creator uses Waters's version rather than Pink Floyd's, Waters will earn the royalties from that TikTok view. Each view's earnings might be minimal, but it can add up, especially if the algorithm pushes the video to people who might not otherwise see it. Here's another fascinating article, but you may encounter a firewall: https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/music/streaming-is-changing-the-sound-of-music-182dc907?mod=Searchresults_pos12&page=1 This will be relevant if Waters rearranged any of the DSOTM songs to move the hook or chorus to the initial 30 seconds of the song.
