Oscar Peterson - Meets Roy Hargrove and Ralph Moore

Ne-o-clas-si-cism: A revival of classical aesthetics and forms, especially, characterized by a regard for the classical ideals of reason, form, and restraint, by order, symmetry, and simplicity of style. Neo-classicism and Roy Hargrove have become synonymous in jazz circles. His style and focus are now completely his own. Roy possesses a hard driving spirit to excel. Volumes have been written about the virtuosity of Oscar Peterson, his competitive spirit and drive. Together you have the makings of an exciting jam session that's well worth the price of admission. In this case the cost of the CD, that finds these two jazz poets working with a strong cast of players including Peterson's long time associate, Neils-Henning Ørsted Pedersen on bass.In 1993, Oscar Peterson suffered a stroke that limited the use of his left hand, though there is little evidence to prove that poses a problem on this recording. The CD includes seven original compositions written by Oscar Peterson. "Rob Roy" written for Roy Hargove and "She Has Gone" written in memory of Ella Fitzgerald are captivating. I especially enjoy "Ecstasy," where an introspective emotional reading is heard from Peterson, Hargrove and Moore. This quintet setting gives all the players ample room to stretch and have fun. This CD is highly recommended listening pleasure. - by Jeff Duperon, All About Jazz

I'm very grateful for this music! Thank you SO much, itr.

I have many, many gems I could share... but I've never made the time to figure out how to do so. I s'pose the simplest way is to start using my DropBox ...but isn't there a better way to do this?

If you or others would like to give me step-by-step instructions, I'd be happy to begin a weekly jazz blog post (on my currently unused blogger blog) with links for sharing these recordings.

I have quite a bit of Afro-Cuban (both folkloric stuff like Los Munequitos de Matanzas, or jazz like Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band), too.

No pressure.

Hello Aviva Gabriel

Step 1:
Rip the chosen music (there are several softvares available for ripping, I use Exact Audio Copy. This can be downloaded from avaxhome.ru, but from other sites as well.).
Step 2:
Scan the CD covers.
Step 3:
Prepare compressed files. You can use for example WinRar for this.
Step 4:
Choose the filehosting service provider. The most often used one is Rapidshare but there are many more available such as Filefactory, MediaFire etc.
Step 5:
Upload the compressed files on the website of the selected host.
Step 6:
Upload the information about the music and the links of the uploaded files to the blogger site. The links are provided by the host at the end of the upload. I suggest to give the links in the comment section of the blog.

That's all. This is the simplified process. If you have further questions please ask.
Best wishes
