Guy Berger Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I thought this was an interesting list. Obviously this doesn't take into account some torrents which have vanished and then been re-seeded. 1. {THE RISKY SINATRA TORRENT!} Frank Sinatra w/Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Avalon Ballroom, San Francisco, CA 1940?? FLAC (1422 times) 2. John Coltrane/Stan Getz JATP Tour 1960 Dusseldorf prob SBD (1287 times) 3. MILES DAVIS - 12 April 1970, Fillmore West *SBD* (1214 times) 4. Mahavishnu Orchestra 1972/08/20 Montreux (1119 times) 5. Jimi Hendrix & Larry Young, Record Plant Sessions, NYC 1969 (1071 times) 6. MILES DAVIS "LOST" QUINTET - 26 July 1969, Juan - les-Pins (1026 times) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 That's the top 6. You got more?? I'd be interested in seeing the top 20, or top 25 (or even top 50). (I've never done a torrent download, so I ain't fishin' for material -- just currious about what other people are wantin'/listenin' too.)

Guy Berger Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I'm too lazy to sort through the list, RT. However, from my recollection the most popular jazz torrents tend to be (electric) Miles. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relyles Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I think generally you will find that the jazz torrents that tend to generate the most interest are from the historically significant artists (Miles Davis probably more than any other), Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, etc. There is actually a wide variety of stuff that gets uploaded, but I suspect the things that gain the most interest also appear to those members who are not necessarily hard core jazz heads.

RDK Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 jazz torrents = bootleg???? The preferred term is "rare, unreleased recording." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 ...or, in the case of Pink Floyd material... ROIO = Recording of Indeterminate Origin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 3. Simon and Garfunkel - 2003-12-20 SBD 4,498 Simon and Garfunkel??!!?? What-the-heck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 jazz torrents = bootleg???? In this case, yes, but the two terms aren't equivalent. A torrent is a specific, relatively efficient way of downloading internet files. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md655321 Posted December 5, 2006 Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 For example, some torrent sites offer commercially available music. Top 5 from another site: Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane - At Carnegie Hall - 3,542 Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood - Out Louder - 2,409 Roisin Murphy - Ruby Blue - 1,813 (who?!?) Miles Davis - Bitches Brew - 1,642 Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue - 1,466 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
