They now provide everything you've downloaded to be streamed. You can even use their site to upload stuff that you ripped or bought elsewhere.

I recently found out that I'm '2 degrees of separation' from McMaster. An old high school friend of mine has known him for many years, and his wife even longer. She knew him in high school in Sacramento. Hopefully I'll get to meet him someday and pick his brains.

Any in particular? I just checked Joe Pass and Woody Shaw and the links work. But as MIkeWeil mentioned, the printable version link does NOT work.

Joe Pass, disk #3. Although not sure how much I'm "enjoying" this set. It's a mixed bag, IMO.

Very cool - thanks for the heads up! After the site upgrade there seems to be a lot of changes to the overall catalog.

Bobby Hutcherson Select, disk #1.

I only saw the ABs once. It was a free show in Storke Plaza at UCSB on 10/10/71, less than 3 weeks before Duane's accident. RIP Gregg!

I didn't realize he was still living. RIP, Mickey.

That's sad.

Ha ha! That, too - but an easier problem to fix if the industry wanted to. Also sleeves take up less space on the shelf - a YUUUGE plus!

Worst design ... EVER!

Goes back to the always horrible design of jewel boxes in the first place.

I saw him around then, too. Same deal! I wish I was smart enough to have seen him more times over the years.

Disk #7. The last 2 disks (from the 80s) are much weaker than the rest of the box. I suppose they had to include them because it's "The Complete Muse Sessions," but I would have been happy with a 5-disk set of only the 60s-70s dates.

These points pretty much sum up my current streaming use, too. I still buy CDs, especially at shows where they're selling their albums. No one's mentioned Amazon's streaming service. If you already have Prime, the added streaming is cheaper than the other services and they have a huge catalog, too.

Just starting to dig into the Woody Shaw Muse set. Some real GEMS in there!

I already placed an order for Clifford Jordan. I suggest anyone who's interested in that box should do the same. Maybe they're waiting to see what the demand is before ordering another run.

The Woody Shaw Muse box arrived today. Looks great, but I never noticed this session before: (A) Woody Shaw, tp; Joe Henderson, ts; Larry Young, p; Ron Carter, b; Joe Chambers, d. - Van Gelder Studio, December 1965 Just a month after Larry Young's great "Unity" album on BN!

Lotsa changes today, and more coming soon I think.

All great albums!

Resonance posted this message on FB today, followed by Cuscuna's email text. Very thoughtful! "NEED YOUR SUPPORT! The gold standard of archival jazz releases Mosaic Records needs our help now (read letter below). Zev Feldman says, "If not for Mosaic Records and Michael Cuscuna, Resonance wouldn't be doing what we're doing. Period." Please visit mosaicrecords.com and place an order today!"

Agreed!

J.A.W. posted this on the Hoffman forum today: "Just heard back from Scott in another matter and he told me they've been swamped with orders - finally a more positive note"

I think I mentioned in the earlier thread (now deleted) that Threadgill is a must-have for anyone who's even remotely interested in his work.
