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 …

I see that some ACT albums are starting to show up at Bandcamp, but only as downloads - none of the ones I looked at had cd or vinyl options. Some prices are high. Michael Wollny's new Mondenkind, for example, is 15 euros (= 23.25 CDN) for the downl…

Sunnyside 15% off the entire catalog for the whole weekend using code septbcsale
Whirlwind 50% off everything released between 2010 and the end of 2018. Prices … -

Presto Classical has been around for quite some time. The Presto Jazz department is more recent though they carried some jazz releases before that; use Presto Jazz for jazz and improvised music - it is a separate department with a separate section o…

Most ECM digital releases - including all of these that I checked - are significantly cheaper at Presto jazz than at Bandcamp. For example Offramp is 14.99 euros at Bandcamp (=23.70 CDN) vs 10.75 CDN for FLAC at Presto; 80/81 is 20.99 euros at Bandc…

It's all for the artists (and labels) this Friday at Bandcamp - again. https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/a…

They all seem to have come from broadcasts. Whether they are from tapes made by the broadcaster or taped off the air isn't clear. I am certain the Miles Davis is a bootleg. The contents match the set list for his 1982 (July 11) appearance in Montrea…

Actually, this Friday's Bandcamp special does not see the company's share going to artists, but to the NAACP legal defense fund as it is Juneteenth. Bandcamp says this will now be a yearly feature.
Several labels and artists do have speci… -
Jazz musicians normally depend on summer jazz festivals for a significant part of their income. Most (all?) have been cancelled for 2020. The Jazz Foundation of America is an important support for musicians at this difficult time. Esperanza Spalding…

I was able to access the site (7:00 PM EST) but every search and browse effort yielded "No Response"

Bandcamp has very conveniently put up a guide to special offers from labels and artists for this Friday:

(Quote) Well, so far there is not much up - just 7 albums. The Lioness is good, especially, and would be worth a download even at full-price (but I'll be waiting until Friday).
-
Posi-tone Records are now available on Bandcamp. There's a 25% discount with the code new25 through Friday (so available on support artists day).

This is going to cause some stress:
Edition Records is celebrating its 12th birthday by offering a 25% discount today and tomorrow (April 28 & 29). But that ends before Friday's all money to musicians day. Use code Edition12.
