I found a good plugin that lets me dl from soundcloud on Google chrome, just by googling; for Firefox I'd google something like "Firefox plugin soundcloud download", but I don't know enough about these plugins and browsers to feel comfortable recommending anything or telling you how to do it... Maybe somebody more techy here could help?
Thank you . . . I tried that and got a bit confused about plugins, addons and all the rest of it
At the moment I feel like a spaceship that just did a slingshot around a gravity well, hurtling in a new direction that was nevertheless caused by explainable forces. I just spent a couple of weeks spending down some booster credit mostly on 1950s/1960s jazz and thinking, 'you know, in the end I really like the melodic stuff,' then I read the avant jazz thread on the emusic board, revisited that Wobble/Parker Passage to Hades album (which is brilliant), found a bargain on Leaps in Leicester, and am now hurtling joyously off into the Evan Parker galaxy (while procrastinating badly on the 30+ essays I have to grade this weekend).
I am not always the biggest fan of free jazz, but there is something about Parker's playing that immediately makes sense in my head. (So maybe I have not always found the right free jazz.) I still have a real sense of wonder that my ears/brain can find music and delight in, say, both Evan Parker and Coleman Hawkins alongside, say, Pjusk, Mono, and Vivaldi.
I really like this duo with the piano - does anyone know if Parker has done other piano/sax recordings? Then:
ETA, (Skip this if you had enough of the contents of my head in the last post) ...in fact the weird thing is, I was feeling last week as if my ongoing learning to listen to jazz had suddenly taken a noticeable step forward in that I suddenly realized that I had internalized enough music that I started noticing myself enjoying takes on familiar standards because I could get more clearly how the standard was being played with. (Before that I tended to prefer originals). Could that be somehow connected, deep in the wiring, with making headway on free jazz? Who knows. (And I have also made a note to pursue Golson/Farmer!)
Does anyone have ElectroAcoustic Septet - Seven (Evan Parker et al)? The samples at emusic are twice 30 seconds of two long tracks that weigh in at 45 and 19 minutes, and I can't find anywhere to stream it. I like the sound of the samples, but am curious as to how typical they are of the whole before I lay down $7. I like the sparseness of the samples - how noisy is the rest?

Prof, glad you enjoyed it - A lot of great music to be discovered by following that Benny Golson/Art Farmer trail
