Dave James Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 This isn't jazz, but if you're a fan of The Marshall Tucker Band, do not under any circumstances pass up Toy Caldwell's solo album, Son Of The South. There's some mighty fine music on that one. I was shocked when I stumbled across it the other day. If I recall correctly, I paid something like $35.00 for the CD.

randyhersom Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Oh yeah, you've got to hear the Roswell Rudd with Sheila Jordan: Flexible Flyer Just 4 credits at the moment.

RDK Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Yeah, many of the Black Lion/1201s appear to be incomplete. Also note, per the CDs that I have, several of the CDs are needle drops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFrank Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 This might be a mistake (might not be), so you'd best act now: Ben Sidran - Talking Jazz box Only 12 credits! WHOA! That's crazy. I'm DL-ing it right now. I think it's all interviews (not music), but still WELL worth it.

Dave James Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I've been seriously looking at buying this box set for the last couple of months. The going rate is something like $250.00. To say the least, this is a bit more reasonable. Thanks for the heads up, mjzee. I'm downloading it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonnymax Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Yeah, many of the Black Lion/1201s appear to be incomplete. Also note, per the CDs that I have, several of the CDs are needle drops. I contacted eMusic after reading and corroborating your post. They said they would look into it, yet today I see they put several new 1201 titles on their website, again with tracks missing. They claim the record company is responsible for the error, but it's their decision to keep selling incomplete albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowingly selling something that is incomplete is just plain wrong.On a more positive note, check out fellow board member David Weiss' latest release Snuck In. A live date featuring David on trumpet, J.D. Allen on tenor sax, Nir Felder on guitar, Matt Clohesy on bass, and Jamire Williams on drums - it's a burner!

ejp626 Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 More changes to emusic, specifically another increase in prices and a move to iTunes-like pricing. At this point, I think I am through with emusic. I need to go through my saved albums and decide which ones I can't live without and download them this month. The new pricing in detail Our commitment to offer a consistent savings With the new pricing system, you will see a wider range of prices, with some tracks costing more and some less than the effective price you pay today. Over all however, eMusic members will consistently be able to enjoy savings of 20% - 50% compared to iTunes a la carte prices. Album prices With your eMusic membership, you’ll get the biggest savings on albums released a year or more ago. Generally, albums released more than 12 months ago will be available at a 35% savings compared to iTunes a la carte prices. More recent releases will be priced 25% less than iTunes a la carte prices. For example: an album that sells at retail for $9.99 will sell for $7.49 on eMusic. Track prices Most of the single tracks in our current catalog will be available to members at $.49 which is generally 50% less than iTunes a la carte prices. The price of more popular individual tracks in our current catalog could be $0.69 or $0.79. Single tracks released within the last 12 months will be available for either $0.79 or $.89. You’re probably curious what the prices will be for specific titles in our current and future catalog. Prices offered to members will largely be driven by release date and label requirements. All of that is still being determined and we won’t know specifics until we get closer to the launch date. As soon as we know more, we’ll share the details.

sonnymax Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 ...At this point, I think I am through with emusic.... So what are the better alternatives for someone primarily interested in jazz, especially from labels like Clean Feed, Black Saint/Soul Note, Delmark, etc.?
