Anybody Else Get This Free CD From Dusty Groove?

[JSngry]

I've been ordering a fair amount of dance/remix/electronica/nu-jazz/whatever from Da' Bastids, so I don't know if they targeted me for this one or if they're giving one to everybody. But with my last order (Tolliver's Impact on Enja & Jazzanova's In Between), they send me this nice samler CD from Cubop records, which is apparently "the Latin jazz division of Ubiquity Recordings, Inc", which also owns the Ubiquity & Luv n' Haight labels.

So anyway, it's got a bunch of pretty nice recently recorded Salsa by some names I've heard of (Jack Costanzo, Dave Pike, Snowboy, Babatunde Lea), some I haven't (Grupo X, Marlon Simon, Bobby Matos, Ray Armando, The Jazz on the Latin Side All-Stars - w/Al McKibbon! - Afroshock), and one I'd just as soon not have (A.Sandoval, for those who might care).

Anyway, my receipt was stamped with a red Shipment includes free promotional CD! Yes, there was a "!". There's always a "!" at Dusty Groove. I think they do it on purpose. But hey - free CD, and I didn't even ask for it.

Hi Jim,

If you're really digging on the dance/remix/electronica/nu jazz stuff, my recommendation would be to hook up with eMusic. The downloads are cheap (roughly 22-25 cents per song, depending on your plan), and they've got a lot of the stuff you'd probably like (the Ubiquity, Luv 'N Haight, other acid jazz stuff). I've found it to be the best/cheapest way to get the acid jazz fix... and the MP3s are usually at 320VBR, which is good enough for my ears!

BTW, I've never received anything free from the Bastards... but all the music I've gotten for the $$$ I've sent their way sure has made my life better! And I give a big ! to them for that!

Cheers,

Shane

I second the emusic suggestion!

Plus, they've recently added a bunch of Fania albums where the salsa is concerned.
