I bought it through an Amazon.com reseller. The basic description on Amazon's page is as follows: http://www.amazon.com...&v=glance#product-details Funny that Amazon lists the label as Verve. I don't think the seller's description mentioned anything other than the set being in "Like New&quo...

"Jazz Heritage" Label?

I recently purchased Ella Fitzgerald's "The Early Years - Part 2" from an Amazon.com private seller. I received the discs (it's a two-disc set) in the mail today and was a little surprised at what I got. These are supposed to be Decca recordings put out by the GRP label (I'm sure you all o...

I played a few Shaw songs last Sunday while splitting the night with Kevin T. Hardly a tribute but my choices were:

St. Louis Blues
Oh Lady Be Good
Sweet Sue

Shaw is the first artist whose work I started seriously collecting. Lot's of good stuff.

It's a shame that song is only 1:15 long.

Eddie Thompson Trio - which I believe you recommended to me.

Re: Lindy Exchange Classics - your top 25?

Baby - I still hear several of these songs played regularly in Seattle, although usually at venues you don't frequent that often. However, I have heard you play O.P's Moten Swing occasionally [part of your limited groove selection ;-) ] Haha. You must be thinking of "Easy Does It". I have...

Repairing scratched/damaged CDs

Yesterday I discovered that one of my favorite discs is damaged causing several songs on the disc to skip.

Anyone have some good methods of repairing damaged CDs? I know there are some products on the market for such a thing but I've never tried them.

Any help would be appreciated.
