chris Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 I wonder why more jazz artists are not on the taping/trading bandwagon that seems to benefit the jamband scene so well? Of all musical genres that deserve to be recorded and archived, jazz-- with its emphasis on improvisation and creativity-- seems like a natural. It is a minor travesty that one can access practically every show phish and string cheese incident have ever recorded, right down to "sounds recorded while a two-day replacement guitarist was in the john", etc... but so many great jazz performances come and go with no documentation at all. I would think the phenomenon of tape trading would really benefit jazz musicians. In the final accounting, I would suspect it would really benefit the artists, since traders tend to be folks who own all the commercial releases and obsessively search for MORE... Quote
relyles Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 Very active yahoo group focused on trading of unreleased live jazz performances. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/all_jazz/ Quote
chris Posted June 30, 2003 Author Report Posted June 30, 2003 Excellent-- thank for the tip. This is precisely what I am looking for. I still think more jazz artists should embrace taping, but hey-- that's just me, deprived of live jazz! Quote
Stuhlly Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 I’m looking for either a physical copy or a recording of an out-of-print Esperanza Spalding CD, called Exposure. Anyone? Quote
