Blue Note Ring Tones

[Indestructible!]

Hi All,

I just noticed on the Blue Note website that a number of "classic" Blue Note songs will be made available for download as ring tones. More info here: http://www.bluenote.com/news.asp?NewsID=388

“The Best of Blue Tones” program:

Art Blakey- Dat Dere

Art Blakey- Moanin'

Clifford Brown- Daahoud

Clifford Brown- Joy Spring

Herbie Hancock- Cantaloup Island

Herbie Hancock- Watermelon Man

Blue Mitchell- Fungii Mama

Thelonious Monk- Straight No Chaser

Lou Donaldson- The Blues Walk

Lou Donaldson- Aligator Boogaloo

Hank Mobley- The Turnaround

Kenny Burrell- Chitlins Con Carne

Chet Baker- My Funny Valentine

Gerry Mulligan- Bernie's Tune

Lee Morgan- The Sidewinder

Miles Davis- Move

Ornette Coleman- Broad Way Blues

Ronnie Laws- Always There

Jimmy Smith- Back at the Chicken Shack

Sonny Clark- Cool Struttin'

Lonnie Smith- Son Of Ice Bag

Bobby Hutcherson- Ummh

Freddie Hubbard- Crisis

Horace Silver- Song For My Father

I'm going to check these out... the ringtones that come standard on my phone are all absolutely horrible (although the one called "This_Is_Techno" is pretty good, in a cheeeeeeezy sort of way).

I can't wait to hear Hank Mobley tell me that someone is on the other line... Maybe it will be Lou Donaldson, trying to sell me a sammich!

Cheers,

Shane

Downloaded one a couple weeks ago (Kenny Burrell), my first experience with all this. Pretty simple, although I had to wade through a lot of other material to find them. Who knew Diana Krall was so big in the ringtone universe?

Am i missing something or does Blue Note not have a link to any site actually selling the tones? Any recommendations on where to purchase one? I just got a new cell that actually lets me do such things...

just a question:

are those the RvG re-masters and are they Copy Controlled

I think they're the "Applause" versions.

Got mine through my service's (Cingular") website, so you might want to start with whatever company you're using. Simple to do - all you really needed to know was what type phone you have and the phone number.

I create my own ringtones. All you need is an mp3 of the music you want as a ringtone. Use Audacity (available from www.download.com) to create a 30 second snippet from the .mp3 file using cut & paste. Export this 30 second snippet back to mp3 and copy it to your phone.

I created some Jazz ones. Shorter's tenor solo on "Free For All" is one. The intro to Miles' "So What" is another. I usually leave it on the intro to the Who's "Baba O'Reilly" or the intro to The Cars' "Just What I Needed".

Be warned that softer ringtones cause you to miss the call!
