Hey all,

I'm new to the forums and pretty new to jazz. Growing up my dad was a huge jazz fan (still is), though he was mostly interested in 20s through the early 50s stuff, not really into Beebop or any of the genres developed after that. So I had listened to some the earlier stuff and styles, Armstrong, Basie, Ellington, Jay McShann. Didn't really think I'd like Miles Davis or John Coltrane, but then I actually heard Kind of Blue and Blue Trane and went "wow". Anyway, almost 50 (in a month or so) and just starting my jazz education in ernest.

Has anyone heard about this one?

Just wanted to share my experience with using the MusicGiants service with my follow forum members.

MusicGiants is an online music service offering high quality downloads in Windows Media Lossless Audio format with digital rights management, or wma with DRM for short, for a reasonable price (about $1.29 per song). The service is about six month old. The client software download is free but the initial membership fee is $50 which is credited to one's account and goes to pay for future downloads.

Just picked up some used classical bargains yesterday. Both are from Murray Hill of NY. 5 discs of Alfred Brendel Plays Liszt's Greatest Piano Works, S43636. The box is near mint with the 4 page liner notes in perfect condition. Once cleaned the records are near mint.
