I only use Kodak Gold CD-R's for music. They have a nice 3M scotchguard that protect against scratches, and just in general seem to have a much longer shelf-life. I usually buy them by the 50-CD spindle on e-bay. I used to use Kodak Gold Cd-Rs exclusively. However, I found they were not worth the p...

I have not surveyed the entire market, but of the 10-15 or so burning software programs I have used, Nero is by far the best. I have heard so from others, as well. The full version allows you to split tracks, fade in and fade out, and has many other useful features. I've used it to cut out a capella...

Yet some dancers were able to adapt to this new music and create new forms of dances... and thus Apple Jack battles came about. Another example of how the music defines the dance. And since you didn't take my Monk bait... to clarify things for those who don't look into things themselves, Monk is co...

Yes, it makes sense for that purpose. It's less necessary here in Austin, though, because most CD shops in Austin allow you to listen to any CD in the store in the store, and many allow you to return what you don't want for store credit, no questions asked, within two weeks. It makes good business s...

Re: Stuff Smith
Well, apparently Django, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Oscar Peterson, Earl Hines did like what Grapelli did, and therefore probably thought that he did "get it." ...as well as perhaps the fact that violin is better-suited to classical music.. Fact? Says who? Opinion perhaps, and not o...

Re: Stuff Smith
Lawrence while I agree with your post for the most part in that it takes work to become a Jazz musician even if you are classicly trained, I think you are overlooking how many Jazz musicians did in fact fall into the classicaly trained category. Look at the likes of say Oscar Peterson, Ray Nance an...

Well, E-music is great because you can hear a sample, download the whole song, put it on a CD, drive around listening to it for weeks -and then decide if it's worth going out and buying. Except that you paid $10/month for that. :) Actually, i think it's a great service, but I can't deal with the lo...

Bop v. Swing
The thread was going FAR off the topic of Count Basie's Autobiography. for the life of me, i cannot recall the definition that Chuck Niles gave on his "Mostly Bop" show on KJAZZ 88.1, down here in LA. he plays stuff from basie and ellington and the like, and he talked about that. what &quo...

Dman, man, you're turning casual conversation into an academic debate with twisted statistics and all.
