Downloadable CD Offerings

Yesterday I decided to follow up on checking out Greg Osby's website, based on gnhrtg mentioning it in the WAYLT thread.

Lo and Behold, there are 13! downloadable, complete recordings/tracks of live shows.

I am a big fan of Osby, especially live (he gave one of the best shows I've ever attended). I have a rinky dink dial-up modem, so the process is literally taking me days, but so what! There's some great music there.

So...does anyone know of any other sites such as Osby's?

I'm not interested in the odd track or snippet but more in terms of live performances otherwise unavailable. I think it's a great way for an artist to expose their music and generate interest in their commercially available wares.

Agreed, Pat, but with my rinky dink dial-up, the result was abject failure. It took 1 1/2 hours to download an 18 minute track, which was not playable due to breakups every 2 seconds.

Correction, Stoner! Thanks again for the reminder. Tried again, and can download the files. They play fine when i'm offline, but breakup when online (apparently my computer cannot walk & chew gum simultaneously).
