It'll very likely sell out, even big and expensive as it is, but it will take a while--I would guess more than two years. ... Cool. I definitely wanna buy it, but most likely in at least 2-3 months from now. The Mosaic booklets recently have been 15 or so pages, LP sleeve sized, with many large pho...

I have three questions for the "regulars" of Mosaic Records. 1. Is the upcoming 1932-1940 Duke Ellington's box set likely to sell out? 2. If so, how quickly? Within weeks? months? one year? 3. Do liner notes by Mosaic Records and by Bear Family Records compare quality wise? I've been buyin...

I like "Snow Flakes", recorded in 1944 by Cliff Bruner & His Texas Wanderers.

I've searched on Google, but did not find any band under the name "Twin Jumpers". However, I found a band named Time Jumpers who recorded a version of "All of me".

Here is the link to their album on Amazon. Is it them?

I also randomly checked some of my past purchases: pretty much all of them cost $.49. It means that, thanks to the loyalty bonus, I should be able to download the same number of monthly tracks I used to get with the old credit system; ... I did the math more carefully and I realized that I actually...

Once in I while, I may play a couple of songs by the same artist/band within the same set, but not not consecutively. However, I don't think I would play two or more songs in row by the same artist/band. My rationale is to avoid the risk of sounding monotonous. Recorded music, even with high fidelit...

The changes have taken place, at least for eMusic USA. My account balance has just switched from 0 credits to $0.00.

The credit system is still in place for my account too. Besides, I haven't noticed any signs of eMusic's "single largest addition ever".

Yes, it's definitely the Mora's Modern Rhythmists version.

Also some more Ellington radio transcriptions for you DP http://www.emusic.com/album/Duke-Ellington-Duke-Ellington-and-His-Famous-Orchestra-1941-The-MP3-Download/10911070.html Yeah, I got that one, Russ. It's good. I like 'Bugle Breaks' and 'John Hardy' a lot. But my favourite is Ellington at the H...

It's 'Algiers Hoodoo Woman' published in 2004 by Dr. Michael White.

Here are my suggestions for slow Swing tunes: Everybody Does It In Hawaii, Jimmie Rodgers (1929) - 100 Never No Lament, Duke Ellington (1940) - 110 On The Alamo, Benny Goodman Sextet (1941) / Bonebrake Syncopators (2008) - 110 Trouble In Mind, Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys (Tiffany Transcriptio...

I think either Chronogical Classics or the similar Complete Jazz series are still available on Amazon UK and/or eMusic UK, but with more and more music becoming available online, I find that most tracks from the Classics series are available online on other labels - and many of these must be availa...

I think that only about half of the CC were available on Amazon MP3. Unfortunately, it looks like Amazon MP3 (at least in the U.S.) has followed eMusic discontinuing them all. :(

If you are also considering Western Swing music for your acquisitions, you should include in the top notch class for sound quality and liner notes:

Bear Family Records
Origin Jazz Library (with some Jazz releases too)
