Thus commenced my exploration of bop,
hard
bop,
cool,
modal,
and the evolving
styles up to the present. Love affairs developed along the way for
Clifford
Brown,
John
Coltrane,
Frank
Rosolino,
Art
Pepper,
Count
Basie, and more lately for bassist John
Leitham, singer Karrin
Allyson, and my contemporary Pete
Christlieb.
The
All-Music Guide (a required bookmark for any music lover) -- Absolutely
indispensible (that's what all the links in the first paragraph
lead to)
The
GEMM Search Engine --
Searches an ever-increasing
number of catalogs of CD and vinyl sellers on the Web to find the cheapest
as well as the hardest-to-find recordings -- (never wonder whether you're
getting a good deal again or if you'll ever see another copy if you pass
this one up). Plus, you can purchase what you find online with the search
engine without jumping to the seller's own pages -- without surcharge in
most instances. (Hint: place a checkmark
in both "Best Price Only" and "Quick and Dirty" and it will quickly load
summary information on the artist or title showing the cheapest price available
for each title. Then click on the name of the album that interests you
for full details concerning where it is available and the range of prices.
If you click directly on a price it will automatically place the album
in your shopping cart.)
Tunes.com
-- One of the major online CD stores such as CD
Universe, Music
Boulevard, and CD
Now . What sets them apart is the ease of searching, more RealAudio
clips than the others, and the fact that you can maintain your own personal
discography at their site along with a wish list (for your own use and
for your wired friends and family to know what to buy you and what you
already have).
"Double-Time
Jazz" -- Jamie Aebersold's online store devoted entirely
to jazz.
(If you want to skip his slow-loading main
page, here's a quick-link
to his catalogue. The logo links to his old index page,
which I prefer; the underlined text links to his new index page.)
