Shawn Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 Shawn's metal recommendations never let me down... jammin' to Spirit Caravan right now, in fact! That's cool! I'm in a state of pure fanboy adoration of anything that Scott "Wino" Weinrich is involved in. Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, Place Of Skulls, The Hidden Hand, etc. The guy should be up there with Lemmy in "underground metal God status". Hell, I recently described him as a "heavy metal soul singer"... Quote
Dave James Posted November 23, 2008 Report Posted November 23, 2008 One I downloaded awhile back that I seem to keep returning to is by a pianist named Bennick. The album is Home Safely. Piano trio. Kind of Bill Evans-ish. Up over and out. Quote
Shawn Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 For those who are loving Billy Harper's "Black Saint", you should also DL "In Europe". Equally monsterous (and only 3 tracks, as well). Great album! Quote

Kind of Bill Evans-ish. Up over and out. Well I'm shocked. The Bennick I referred to above is actually Bennink as in Han Bennink. I thought he was on the absolute fringes of the jazz universe along with guys like Dave Burrell and Peter Brotzman, but this is fine and mellow stuff. Jazz never ceases to amaze. Up over and out.

That's some of my favorite music these days, Dave: typically outside players playing in. Dave Burrell has a few albums that you might actually like. Also check out Marion Brown's "Back to Paris." It's about as accessible as he gets. Quote
Dave James Posted November 24, 2008 Report Posted November 24, 2008 RDK, I've been on the Marion Brown bandwagon for some time, although I don't have the CD you mention. With regard to Burrell on the inside, any recommendations? Thanks. Up over and out. Quote
Jams_Runt Posted November 30, 2008 Report Posted November 30, 2008 Not emusic, but I just discovered you can get the complete RCA/Victor recordings of Louis Armstrong for $9.99 at Amazon's mp3 store. Posting it here, because I know emusic thread folk are fine with the downloads. Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 2, 2008 Report Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Well...to add to the Black Saint/Soul Note feast, a vast swathe of ECMs just landed on e-music UK. They put some up in Aug but then removed most of them. Some more appeared in September but since then nothing. Today the number of albums jumped to 162!!!!!! Though I'd love to know how they are labelling them - rather than attributing them to the leader they seem to be randomly named after one player on the disc. Jack de Johnettes New Directions is by Eddie Gomez it would seem! Not a major issue but makes finding them a bit harder. How about Jarrett's 'Sun Bear' concerts in 13 downloads!!!!!! I recall when this was an unattainable luxury because of cost in the late 70s! Edited December 2, 2008 by Bev Stapleton Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 3, 2008 Report Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Yeah, yeah, Bev, rub it in. I'm sure it will come your way soon! E-music must solve many of the distribution issues ECM (and other European labels) have had in getting their product out in the USA. Edit: looks like the entire catalogue currently on CD is going up - another wave today pushing to 325 albums. Edited December 3, 2008 by Bev Stapleton Quote
WorldB3 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) more of the recent Black Saint/ Soul Note goodness: George Adams with Don Pullen Quartet - Live at the Village Vanguard Vol 1 @ Vol 2. George Lewis - Homage To Charlie Parker Billy Harper - In Europe (great!, Fred Hersch?? no way!) Andrew Hill - Strange Serenade (amazing!!, if you love Andrew Hill highly recommend!) Walt Dickerson - Life Rays The Herbie Nichols Project - Love Is Proximity (good stuff) other Charlie Hunter - Baboon Strength (nice organ trio set, the 2nd half smokes!) The Fireman (Paul McCartney) - Electric Arguments (surprising really really good, a mix of everything, his most creative album since his first solo record) Buddy Miller - The Best Of The Hightone Years (at least the tracks I didn't have off his last record for Hightone, he is kind of the Alt Country version of Richard Thompson, sure he is known but should be a household name, great comp, for the Richard Thompson heads at least download the cover of Keep Your Distance) Edited December 5, 2008 by WorldB3 Quote

Walt Dickerson - Life Rays The Herbie Nichols Project - Love Is Proximity (good stuff) Wow, all of these are of great interest. Had that George Lewis on the "to get" for a long time. Just went to scope it out. of course they have both George Lewis's mixed together (album-wise) but the description is all the clarinet player who died in 1968, not the trombone & electronics master still going strong.

mjzee Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Talk about jealous... ECMs available at eMusic Europe Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Maybe Manfred and e-music decided that, with all the grumbling over the years about ECMs being not-jazz, soulless etc etc, there's no real market in the US for these! One of those smileys spelling out the fact that this is not meant to be taken as a serious comment! Quote
RDK Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 It's simply that ECM is distributed by Universal Music here in the U.S. Quote
mjzee Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 It's simply that ECM is distributed by Universal Music here in the U.S. I wonder when that distribution agreement ends. Quote
mjzee Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Air - Live Air Trio Hurricane - Suite of Winds George Lewis - Shadowgraph Julius Hemphill - Flat-Out Jump Suite Greg Osby - 9 Levels Miles From India The Fireman - Electric Arguments Ingrid Michaelson - Be OK Jimmy Bruno - Solo Art Pepper - Arthur's Blues Kenny Burrell - Collaboration (w/Lamont Johnson) Quote

I recall when this was an unattainable luxury because of cost in the late 70s! I'm listening now to Sapporo, November 18, 1976, Part 1. Simply beautiful, stunning improvised music. Quote
randyhersom Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Some guys named Organissimo showed up on eMusic today. Anybody ever heard of 'em?? Edited December 11, 2008 by randyhersom Quote
Indestructible! Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Some guys named Organissimo showed up on eMusic today. Anybody ever heard of 'em?? Nice! Only one album is showing up so far, but hopefully the others won't be far behind! Cheers, Shane Quote
stuartjewkes Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 I binged my arse off on Anthony Braxton last refresh So much good new stuff. Quote
Man with the Golden Arm Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 seems the TRU THOUGHTS label is no longer on emusic. I dipped into their catalog quite frequently and had earmarked a whole lotta stuff for "later". Quote
Shawn Posted December 24, 2008 Report Posted December 24, 2008 I'm taking a break for a bit (no money), but I'll miss the recommendations in this thread. Quote
WorldB3 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) I dropped down to the 30 downloads a month. I wasn't getting to everything I was downloading and I kind of wan't to just use Emusic for stuff that isn't easy to find on Vinyl or CD. This month is more Black Saint/Soul Note goodness and some Walt. Roswell Rudd, Steve Lacy - Regerneration Paul Motian Quintet – Jack Of Clubs Paul Motian Quintet – Misterioso Walt Dickerson - A Sense Of Direction Edited December 30, 2008 by WorldB3 Quote
randyhersom Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 A reissue I had been hoping for slipped out on me a couple years ago due to a new title, but I was mainly looking for one track, so I caught up. 4 of Charles Earland - Charles II's seven tracks were reissued on Funk Fantastique, including my much wanted Auburn Delight featuring Joe Lee Wilson. Supplemented it with Black Saint's by Bill DIxon, Julius Hemphill and Bakida Carroll, then returned here and DUHHHHH - ran myself out of DLs without grabbing Organissimo!!! A booster pack is under consideration. Quote
