Jeff Beck - Live In Tokyo, Volumes 1 and 2. From his 1999 shows there. Very good but my favorite is still the Live at Ronnie Scott gig; that continues to be my favorite band behind him.

Lifer by Ricky Byrd. Seeing him with Joan Jett in the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction reminded me to check out this album - at eMu. Very middle period Stones or Faces kind of vibe.

@Doofy - hey, thank you. Can not have me too much Oscar Peterson - he might have the biggest artist Smart Playlist in my whole iTunes. EDIT - Curiosity prompted me to check - Osc…

@Thom - Sorry to get in late on the B.B.King discussion but I love his '50's material, originally on the Modern label. Ace has a comp called The Best Of The Early Years that would …

Various and sundry - thought Wolf Hall was very good - much less glitzy than The Tudors, probably more realistic set-wise. Very tough to capture the essence of the books which were essentially a character study through dialogue, inner and outer, bu…

@Plong42 - There are some live tracks but most of them seem to be studio material. I have not had time to try and figure out the sources, and at the booster sale price I may nev…

The last of his generation, the third King Of The Blues has gone to join Freddy and Albert in six-string heaven. RIP, B.B. For me his 50's recordings are still my favorites.

Just listened to this one for the second time - this is some weird stuff, but I liked it - http://www.em…

Can't Nobody Do Me Like Jesus by Aubrey Ghent - one of the cats from the Sacred Steel series, and one of the best.

@Germanprof, that's a nice set of Django. It looks like material from the latter CDs of the JSP box sets Django In Chronological Order, and then Django Volume 2 - Paris and L…

Gigantic Cab Calloway set, 163 songs, on the Doxy label - where there are other big sets, none as big as this one I don't think. I picked up a huge blues collection at Amazon the other day from them that was really good, but I don't see it at eMu.<…

@Muggsy - thanks for that link. They have much better info on whose on what, and I'm psyched that Ernest Ranglin is on there - he is one of my undersung heroes. Will have to cla…

4 disc Graham Bond Organisation box set for $6.49 at eMu - I don't know a lot about this band other than Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker's being in it, but some of the reviews at Amazon for this were positive.

The eponymous first album from The Panamericans - instrumental Latin/Lounge/Surf/Garage vibe I finally had the chance to actually listen to - very nice, melodic, relaxing.
Edit - Since we're in confessional mode, I figure I'm over a TB but I … -
Assortment of tunes on my iPod - the Line In is about the only function still working on our venerable boombox here at the office - from Dengue Fever. I'd still put that band in my top five favorite discoveries from eMu.

In reference to the Moochin' About series, it looks like somebody got hip to the pricing because the Art Blakey has disappeared from eMu as well as several others. The Stateside 62 has been replaced with 4 one disc sets. Only the Stateside 61 rema…

Have not even listened yet - I just hit the download - the Deluxe version 3 disc set at 1 disc price of Dub Side Of The Mule by Gov't Mule. I'm buying just on basis of how much i liked the last 2 in the Mule series.

I've got the CD version of that Telemann set and was quite satisfied with it. Think I'll hit that Purcell set - not one of the more usual suspects, so thanks for that.
Brilliant Classics is the label that produces those crazy bigger than a br… -
This really ought to be filed under Guilty As Hell Pleasures, but Netflix now has all four seasons of Spartacus - all the graphic novel style blood and over the top gore anyone could hope for, and naked bodies of all description - it was ancient Rom…

Well, here's something we don't get to do much anymore. Snake Box by Harvey Mandel, a 3 disc set that is $24.99 over at Amazon, http://www.emusic.com/album/harve…

Thank you. That's the one. I have to stop trying to learn something new this late at night. Tomorrow is another day, as Scarlet used to say.
Edit - Thanks, BN, but nothing seems to work properly. Mac on Firefox for what it's worth.Listening to this Bach on the chitarrone courtesy of Amazon Prime - interestingly different timbre from the usual.
Screw it, I give up trying to work this thing.in What are you listening to right now? (13 Indigenous grandmothers are praying for the planet) Comment by BigD-Bluez February 2015
Hey kids, nice new look. Very bright, brighter than I feel. Anyhow, although the link is for CD's not MP3's, Amazon sent me an e-mail highlighting some high-density low-budget jazz collections. I have not ordered any yet but I figured I'd post a …Sco-Mule by Gov't Mule with John Scofield. Hot stuff recorded live by the original Mule. The dummies at eMu took their time getting this ( I thought maybe it was a sign of their imminent demise since they had Dark Side Of The Mule up at rel…I was pleasantly surprised at the range of Prime albums when I took a little tour last month - stuff from Ravi Shankar to Black Sabbath. It doesn't behoove me that much since I don't actually listen at the computer that much - I use the Amazon Musi…There must be something wrong with that list because I have about 35 of them at least - who'd a thunk? Thanks to Guvera, and I have to say thanks to eMu also mostly because of the binge of 5-6-7 track jazz albums I went on before they switched to …This is stretching the theme just a little but there is a new Kinks anthology at eMu - The Anthology 1964-1971 - not a bargain at all at $42.30, but…
