New Releases and Reissues for the Last Week in December 2008
Well, the gift-giving season is over with and no one in the record business seems to want to actually release a new album in the last few days of 2008. You have to admit if you are an artist on a label and your new album is coming out the last week of the year, after the holidays, amidst all of the new year deals, you might feel a little slighted and like your work is being buried. So, there isn’t much new coming out this week. In fact, there is not a single jazz release listed, that I can find, for December 30, the Tuesday, and the normal day during the week to put out the new stuff and the reissues.
So, thanks to AllAboutJazz.com for another year of providing me with the information I provide you here about the new albums and reissues for jazz fans. Again, I can’t recommend that site highly enough. It is all-volunteer and the articles and pictures are great. I don’t know who compiles the new release and reissues list, but I couldn’t write this darn blog without them. I would send them flowers or a card or a big gift if I knew who they were and where to send it.
The new releases and reissues are spread out over a few days. Looks like the biggest day this week is actually the first day of the new year. However, I peeked ahead and it looks like things get back to a more normal release schedule the first full week of 2009. I look forward to bringing it to you.
