I had to close this section due to complaints of the phono industry !
Here
is the story:
The only purpose of this MP3 section was to give you
some examples of good music
that you should listen to and ... buy! I want musicians
to get paid for their work - especially Jazz musicians!
The quality
of the MP3´s was just as high that you could imagine the sound (16/22 Khz
mono!).
So I think no one has burned a CD of the music presented here!
It
only were appetizers to go to a CD store and buy that music.
I think several
have done so because I only presented the best music here and
the many people
visiting this site know that my information is reliable.
But:
In August 2001 I received an E-Mail from the IFPI
(International Federation
of the Phonographic Industry) with the urgent ultimatum to
delete the files
on the server - and that within 24 hours!
This non-commercial website only
exists as a result
of enthusiasm and much invested time and because I don´t
want
to get into troubles I followed that "advice".
The
result is:
I will not promote records/CD´s here anymore.
The phono
industry will have to spend own money for marketing
efforts to sell their records
- even if it are Jazz records!
Perhaps I have done too much to promote the worlds finest music!
To get an impression of what you have missed

following list shows the musicians and what kind of music has been presented here:
