So I got to playing on a friends computer the other day and whipped together this screensaver trying out some software. It’s made up of 71 of the bluenote album covers. Want to give it a try? Just choose your platform and download the installer.
Mac OS9 thru Mac OSX – JazzTo.sit
Windows ME/200/XP/2003 – JazzTo.zip
bluenote.com The Finest in Jazz Since 1939.
Sorry to anyone that had a problem accessing the site, our hosts had to reboot the server. They promise me all is good again however.
Well Kind of Blue seemed to run away with the poll which was not unexpected, so it’s time for something new.
How do you get your music? The lables claim that nobody is buying albums anymore. I thought I’d put it to the test and find out, so excersise your right and cast your vote. And if you need to… vote twice. We’ll allow that here.
Thanks to all who voted in our first poll “What’s the best venue for live Jazz in Toronto?”. The results had The Rex out in front followed by the Montreal Bistro in second and the the Dominion on Queen in a close third.
With a new month comes a new poll, and this time we want to know your favorite Miles Davis album. Excercise your democratic right and vote now!
Some of you might remember from way back that I ordered the new Lenny Breau Biography. Well it arrived yesterday just in time for the weekend… woohoo!
“I just improvise and keep it going and see what happens. Sort of like adapting to your environment and playing however that environment makes you feel. Just one big, long tune.”
- Lenny Breau
“Whoever’d think that a little Frenchmen could play like that?”
-Denny breau on his brother Lenny
