Very possibly so, which I suppose is a good thing in most circumstances.

Huh. Thanks for the tip. It still doesn't work with Safari on my Mac, but it does work with Brave. I'm glad they're not gone.

This just appeared as a new release on Dusty Groove: A tremendous tribute to a fantastic moment in jazz – the explosion of new sounds that happened in the British scene from the late 60s onward – a moment of music that barely touched our shores, but which was equally important to the changes taking place in modern jazz in the US! England got on the jazz bandwagon pretty quickly in earlier years – but for decades, most of their music was pretty tied to American styles – ties that broke strongly with work like this – which opened up all these new rhythms, patterns, and possibilities for expression – at a level that the British scene maybe never hit this strongly again! The collection features some incredibly well-chosen tracks that really illustrate the depth of this musical moment – including work from the legendary Landsdowne Series of recordings, and tracks from other labels too – all brought together with detailed notes that really illuminate the music. Titles include "Old San Juan" by Alan Skidmore, "Third Road" by Harry Beckett, "Matinee Days" by Stan Tracey, "Second Coming" by Michael Garrick, "Storm Warning" by Dick Morrissey, "To Segovia" by Mike Taylor, "A Matter Of Time" by Don Rendell, "Brew" by Colin Bates, "With Terry's Help" by John Surman & John Warren, "Waltz" by Mike Westbrook, Greek Variations/VI Kriti (edit)" by Neil Ardley, "Angle" by New Jazz Orchestra, "Don The Dreamer" by Kenny Wheeler & John Dankworth, and "Some Echoes Some Shadows" by Michael Gibbs.

Do you mean Asphalt Canyon Suite? I got it from DG a few weeks ago, but I preordered. Anyway, it's still available: https://www.dustygroove.com/item/982622?sf=asphalt&incl_oos=1&incl_cs=1&kwfilter=asphalt&sort_order=artist

I like Beyond Burgers. I think they plausibly taste like real burgers, and they're enjoyable. Two downsides: upon opening the package, they smell like cat food. Also, they're kept frozen but need to be cooked from a defrosted state, so you can't just cook them on the spur of the moment.

I don't think it's back online.

Just watch the salt. We use salted shelled pistachios, so you don’t need to add more salt.
-
How's the sound on the LP? The CD is maddeningly inconsistent - volume levels can fluctuate wildly, even within tracks.
-
True carnivore here, but I recommend this recipe - we eat it often: Spicy Toasted Garbanzo Beans and Pistachios

It's not opening for me. I'll keep trying.
-
I have the same set. My impression is that the first 3 albums would be much better in mono. BTW, the 3 singles you mention are on "Greatest Hits."

What have you heard about this speaker - is it worthy? Reviews are pretty good.

Here's a related question, and I'll use "The Crusaders - 5 Original Albums" as an example: Some, but not all, of these albums were originally issued on Blue Thumb ("Street Life" certainly was not). And yet, the Blue Thumb logo is shown on both the front and back covers. IIRC (and confirmed by Wikipedia), Blue Thumb was originally independent, then bought by Famous Music, then bought by ABC, which was sold to MCA, now absorbed into the Universal behemoth. So the question is: why show the Blue Thumb logo? Is it that the original owners of Blue Thumb, or some other owners along the way, retain some ownership percentage?

Release date September 24: With Overpass, Marc Johnson makes a decisive and intriguing contribution to ECM's solo bass tradition. Johnson's experiments with the bass and its potential as a lead voice began during his tenure with the Bill Evans Trio, where his nightly solo feature on Miles Davis's "Nardis", inspired him to new ideas. This new studio album was recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil and includes five original compositions.

Release date August 27: Comprising entirely of previously unreleased material, the fascinating 'Lost Tapes Vol. 3' from Jazz trumpeter, drummer, composer and bandleader Don Ellis will be released on 27 August 2021. Sleepy Night Records is delighted to release this, the last in the series of 'Lost Tapes'.The collection is based upon a treasure trove of recordings, photos, letters, video, scores and music supplied to Sleepy Night Records by the late Ken Orton. The musician sadly died three years ago, but he had the biggest worldwide collection of Don's material and worked with Don's family to preserve his memory.'Lost Tapes Vol. 3' features never before heard tracks from Don's own personal collection, both in the form of studio material and other music recorded at various clubs on reel to reel and cassette tapes.The album closes, fittingly, with Don Ellis' last ever recording. Laid down in 1978, Vulcan was recorded in a club but on this collection Sleepy Night Records have enhanced this track, by adding in new keyboard parts, bass, drums, strings and a new guitar solo. By not deviating from the original spirit, and keeping the track honest, this has breathed new life into this cassette recording. The original version of Vulcan will be available on all digital platforms.

Release date August 6: One of Vancouver\x27s most beloved jazz groups of the past 10 years serve up heaps of grease playing the music of Eddie Harris, Shirley Scott, Hank Marr and other purveyors of greasy jazz! Usually a two horn front\-line, this edition of the Nightcrawlers features only the tenor saxophone with Cory Weeds at the helm. Filling out the sound of the band is percussionist Jack Duncan! Release date September 3: This project began in 2018, when Cory Weeds pitched an idea to me for a Joe Williams tribute show at Frankie's Jazz Club in Vancouver. Williams is arguably one of the greatest jazz & blues singers we've ever had. In March 2019, we played two club dates, calling the show Nothin' But the Blues: A Tribute to Joe Williams. It was so well received, that we immediately began planning a follow-up gig. We decided to expand our theme, still travelling a blues path, but drawing material from other artists. Cory was an invaluable source, hipping me to such names as Eddie Cleanhead Vinson, Jimmy Witherspoon, David Peaston, and Billie Poole. In September 2019, we played our second show at Frankie's: Steve Maddock Sextet: The Blues Project. Cory suggested we make a record for his Cellar Music label, so we invited our friend Bill Coon, a wonderful musician & composer, to co-produce. After several challenges and delays due to the global pandemic, we finally got the six of us into the studio in December, 2020.

Release date August 27: The new album from the quartet led by innovative jazz drummer, Andrew Cyrille, carries the story forward from the 2016 release, The Declaration of Musical Independence. Each of the players (Bill Frisell, Ben Street and David Virelles) has space for improvisational expression, but it is Cyrille's communicative sensibility and what the New York Times called his "watchful, flowing pulse" that guides the band.

Release date September 10: Pat explains, “I wanted to create an ongoing platform to host a rotating cast of the newer generations of musicians who have particularly caught my interest along the way. From my earliest days in Kansas City onward, I was the beneficiary of so many older musicians hiring me, which gave me a chance to develop through the prism of their experiences and the particular demands of what their music implied.” Metheny has given this band concept the name Side-Eye and hopes that it might become a rotating group of musicians who could come and go in different combinations. So far, there have been four iterations, hence the V.1-IV sub-heading on the record. Whether searingly electric, powerfully intense or deeply contemplative, highly composed or totally improvised, or even with some new-fangled contraption of his own design, there is always that unmistakable Metheny sensibility at work that has stood at the forefront of jazz for what is now approaching five decades. The Side-Eye series is the latest chapter in his continually unfolding story.

Another pet peeve: when recording data is listed on a jacket in such an abbreviated form that it seems more like computer code, as if it costs them per character. Example: disc 4 of the Sir John Barbirolli Warner box. There are 17 tracks on the disc. Here's how the recording dates are listed: Recorded: 11.XII.1929 (9), 21.VII (3), 20.VIII (10-14), 1933, Kingsway Hall, London; 4.V (16), 18 (1-2) & 19.X (4-7,17), 1933, 29.VI.1934 (8,15), No. 1 Studio, Abbey Road London.

I still want to know the story behind the photos on the inner sleeve of Street Legal.

The last listing in the Wayback Machine is July 7. But none of the links (to specific years, etc.) work! I fear this valuable resource may be now lost to us.
