medjuck Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Read about this and listened on Spotify. Liked it and wanted to buy the cd-- especially for the documentation. Went to Amazon which only offered downloads and ads for Amazon music. Went to the Naxos website which only offered Amazon as a way to buy a cd. Clicked there and finally got to an Amazon page that offered cd-- cheap ($10) but have to pay for shipping despite having Amazon+. Won't get it for a couple of weeks!. No wonder physical media is dying. BTW much maligned (by me) Spotify which gives almost no information about the music does tend to add interesting stuff after what you've chosen has finished. Now listening to some nice "folk operas" I've never heard before. Edited September 13, 2023 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Care to share your Amazon link, please? I can't find one at all. Will do a DL if necessary, but it's not necessary? Thanks for the heads up. Really do want to hear these things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 Amazon is really declining in usability. It's not the only giant of the tech world that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Stryker Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Some backstory. I wrote about the late Jim Dapogny’s discovery and restoration of this lost James P Johnson score back in 2002 for the Detroit Free Press and attended the subsequent performances that led to the recording.

BTW I've always wondered why writing "The Charleston" didn't bring Johnson fame and fortune. It's now a signifier of the era but perhaps not so much in its time. Or perhaps he and the song were more famous in his time than I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
