Finally made it to my home in Canada (shipping is not speedy). Listening while reading Cisco Bradley's new biography of Parker, Universal Tonality. (Image)

(Quote) The extra tracks are also available on Presto jazz for download with flac at just a bit more than the Bandcamp price (the mp3 price there is cheaper than both the Bandcamp and the Amazon price).

Ethan Iverson has an insightful review of Keith Jarrett's first trio/quartet (the American Quartet) from the 60s & 70s (https://ethaniverson.com/shades-of-jazz-keith-jarrett-charlie-haden-paul-motian-dewey-redman/). He has a bit of a discussion …

Perhaps I missed it starting, but it appears that the first five releases of Mostly Other People Do the Killing on Hot Cup are now available on Bandcamp. This seems to be a MOPDTK thing as other Hot Cup releases (Jon Lundbom and Charles Evans mostly…

(Quote) Well, let's see. Royalties don't just go to the Davis estate. Columbia invested considerable funds in Kind of Blue - a studio, engineer's time, Irving Townsend's time, publicity expenses. And what did Crazy Warthog invest in? A copy…

(Quote) I do not know if it is true that no labels/artists are being paid at eMusic, but I do personally know of several that have not been paid since 2018 or earlier. Certainly in jazz and classical (the genres I know) no reputable label i…

Every user of Bandcamp gets such a Fan page. If this is what is getting everyone's knickers in a knot, then lessons in how to avoid clicking on things of no interest would seem to be in order. Why this seems to be a problem for people who want to di…

Some of the "fan page" discussion seems to be confused with the ability Bandcamp offers to follow other users to see what they have purchased. There are several whose specific interests I share so we follow each other; I have purchased a n…

(Quote) I think every pre-order that I have encountered at Bandcamp has at least one track to listen to. And unlike at eMusic, "trial" tracks at Bandcamp are complete, not just brief snippets. By the way, pre-order is important fo…

I'll take Bandcamp's search over eMusic's any day. Try this. Search in each for William Parker. In eMusic that is spread over at least 8 different artist names (William Parker, William Parker Quartet, William Parker and Hamid Drake, etc.) with diffe…

One of the new year's most significant jazz releases is William Parker's Migration of Silence Into and Out of The Tone World - a 10-cd box on his Centering Music label managed by AUM Fidelity. It will be released this Friday and cds and download are…

Aside from the fact that you are abetting something if not illegal at least unethical (and whether you like it or not that makes you at least crook-adjacent), I can't figure out why you would be wasting your time listening to second-rate music. And …

A little late getting this up, but here is Peter Hum's list of the top Canadian jazz albums for 2020: https://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/music/best-canadian-jazz-of-2020-while-pandemic-killed-festivals-and-gigs-musicians-released-stellar-albums

(Quote) You will find a number of "vendors " that only have long ago issued albums on eMusic. Several have told me that they were advised that their (admittedly slim) chance of getting anything from eMusic would be greatly reduced…

Francis Davis' NPR poll: https://www.wbgo.org/post/2020-npr-music-jazz-critics-poll#stream/0 A good number of these are available at Bandcamp (though vinyl is sold out for many). None, to my knowledge, are available at eMusic.

Ropeadope has most of their Bandcamp releases at 50% using code haircut until Dec 28. This includes Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah's well-regarded recent Axiom.

JazzFM91 (Toronto's jazz station) has its 2020 top 20 here: https://jazz.fm/best-jazz-albums-2020/ It includes some excellent Canadian releases that unfortunately seldom get mentioned in the US.

Bandcamp has announced that they will be continuing Bandcamp Friday, the day the site waives its fees so that all the money goes to artists and labels. However, there will be no Bandcamp Friday in January (it would fall on New Year's Day, though I w…

Presto music has their lists of the year's best here: https://www.prestomusic.com/jazz/articles/3676--albums-of-the-year-jazz-recordings-of-the-year-2020 There is a link to a youtube video where they talk about the lists.

Maybe an even better one is that 7 DIG in Canada has the 4cd Mingus at Bremen at 13.49 CDN for 24/96 FLAC (9.99 for the MP3 - 11.49 for the 16/44). Bandcamp's price comes to 30.96 CDN and I believe that would be 16/44 for the FLAC version.

For those concerned about the high prices for ACT releases, I would point out that they are available for download at Presto Jazz for a considerably lower price. For example, Frank Woeste's Pocket Rhapsody II is $23 Canadian at Bandcamp, but $15.25 …
