This is more about what I'm not listening to.
Last summer I bought my first c.d. player and got a burner installed in the computer.
I sold and traded all my jazz albums a long time ago, too much to haul around, moving all the time.
That was about ten McCoy Tyner, five Elvin Jones, two Coltrane, one Ornette Coleman, Shakti...
Yeah, now that I've built a new sound and p.a. system in my first apartment by myself,
I'd like to get these albums happening again, what I need to jam along with, singing and guitar.
Rotating these instrumental albums kept them fresh for me, even as I gradually grew into playing along.
There isn't even a store selling new c.d.'s in Welland, a city of over 50,000 people.
Too bad I gave away my Atlantis album, autographed by some band members.
Yeah, sometimes even non-players need a little help.

On Spotify:
John Coltrane--coltrane's sound. As usual, superlative jazz created by Trane, Tyner, Jones and Davis. Magnifique!

@ Colin and Mat: I apologize, guys. From now on, I'll remember to post any links I'd like to share with my fellow jazz enthusiasts from You Tube. In this way, everybody will be able to enjoy them. Sorry about that.
Is there any indication as to whether Spotify will be made available in your respective countries?

Not listening to music but - reading a book
I received as a Xmas gift a copy of the Downbeat 75 year Anniversary Edition of Interviews ( with Jazz musicians).
It goes back to the late '20s and is totally fascinating.
It is amazing to find out how many subsequently top jazz groups and bands found it almost impossible
to make a living during the '30s.

Hi John,
Methinks that there has been no decline in actively participating jazz fans - There is this little thing called life - My wife and I have four small babies to care for, which means that I can't always be "on-line" and on MIMF, even though I Love MIMF very much........ok? Please, take no offense.............
