If you like your jazz leaning towards the rock/post-rock side of things, a new Harriet Tubman release is coming Friday this week on Sunnyside:
(Quote)Yes, they've said as much in their various marketing and social media posts. They say they are only selling tokens or doing their "pre-sale" in regions where doing so does not violate applicable laws. It's s…(Quote)So it sounds like the beta testing is intended to be testing the "real" (but future) blockchain implementation, complete with digital wallets and real cryptocurrency transactions, whereas the tokens being purchas…So given that US users can't yet participate - I'm curious... Are the tokens "real" blockchain tokens? (I know they are supposed to be alt-coins based on Ethereum currency). Did you need to set up a digital wallet to receive them (and presumably…Sometimes ya gotta get your big band fix, and this is a good place to scratch that itch. An ArtistShare project, so not available at Bandcamp, eMusic, etc. (though I think it is at Amazon for physical CD only - digital downl…This ought to appeal to both contemporary classical and jazz fans. Stylistically, it leans towards the former, but the lineup flexes some serious jazz chops, including Ingrid, Mary Halvorson, Kris Davis, Nate Wooley, and Taylo…I would rather invest in that IKO. :-)But yes, they posted somewhere that their token sale (at least for outside US) will start Nov 20. Still not sure where all this is headed, but I think it is now a race to see…@djh - There is a good article on Bandcamp that discusses the sound issues and the remastering efforts. There is definitely some distortion, particularly of the piano, and the entir…This spiritual jazz from the London scene is now available (via Brownswood Recordings) on both eMusic and Bandcamp.
in New & Notable releases Comment by soulcoal November 2018FYI- that new "Mingus in Detroit" live recording from 1973 is, much to my shock, available on eMusic now. (And a bargain, at that... I had already purchased on Bandcamp but now see it being promoted on eMusic, too).Good catch, @doofy! I've liked what I've heard so far of "The Other Side of Air" on Bandcamp.One thing I've never understood that this pa…This might fit better on the "eMusic bargains" forum, except that it's not on eMusic...If you have enjoyed any of the eclectic "classical meets jazz meets world" music work of Brooklyn Raga Massive, you might w…30% off everything at Edition Records. Interesting that a few months after they went away from eMusic (via the Orchard dropping eMusic), they now are running 30% off sales on Bandcamp.I doubt they are counting on appreciation of the currency to make money, but more likely are simply viewing the entire blockchain project as a means to an end, the "end" being the capability to raise vast sums of money in an ICO without having …(Quote) Yes, I have pointed out a number of times in the eMusic subreddit forum that Bandcamp started as a company in the shadow of eMusic, targeting the same type of audience with the same types of music. eMusic keeps complaining that the r…@peterfrederics, I think for most ex-eMu subscribers the shift will be towards more streaming (Spotify, etc.) mixed with a smaller number of purchases from other indie sit…The three new Woolgathering Records releases I had mentioned previously (in the upcoming Soundcloud/Bandcamp/etc. forum) - Matt Ulery "Sifting Stars", Russ Johnson "Headlands", and Tim Haldeman "Open Water as a Child" - are now all available on both…I think this is just a continuation of their rendition of Sherman's March to the Sea, where nothing but scorched earth from their previous retail business will be left behind. They'll milk subscription revenue as long as it exists and continue to a…(Quote) FYI - the Wayne Horvitz release is already available on eMusic via the songlines label, so that Oct 19 release date may be for vinyl/CD or just a typo. He has a second release coming out this Friday (Oct 12) according to an emai…Really liking this new Turboprop release on Anzic Records and available on Bandcamp:
Some more interesting jazz releases coming in late October:Oct 19A couple of @jonahpwll's Bandcamp recommendations this month are available at eMusic (and there is not much jazz left there, so who knows how long it will last...)
A compelling new release on New Amsterdam label, which, amazingly, still exists on eMusic:(Quote)Funny, eMusic is running a similar campaign:
"Today, tomorrow and indefinitely, for any purchase you make on eMusic, we will donate 100% of our share of the proceeds and 100% of the artist's and label'…(Quote)The problem I have with the $50 signing bonus is that it sure doesn't sound like any of that makes it to the artists or labels, which seems to be why labels keep disappearing. So, yeah, it seems like a great de…Some fun jazz releases for the first day of fall: (Sadly the first two are not available on eMusic or Bandcamp, but are readily available elsewhere, incl. 7Digital. Get The Blessing's latest is an absolute blast, is available on Bandcamp, and re…A couple "new" albums showed up on eMusic today on RareNoise Records, including the latest Jamie Saft Quartet release. This continues a pattern in which RareNoise seems to be delaying eMusic releases until about 3 months following actual release …For fans of Binker & Moses and their unique style of "jazz and beyond", this Sep 28 Moses Boyd release on Bandcamp should be interesting: (available now on eMusic, too).
in Soundcloud, Bandcamp - New / Upcoming Releases, Announcements etc. Comment by soulcoal September 2018For jazz fans, the Losen Records catalogue seems to have either re-appeared or re-updated today (a Monday). Among the pleasant surprises is seeing the new LRK Trio release, "Urban Dreamer", appearing. They are a trio fro…
