OK, we're biting the bullet here at Gems and re-uploading our content, this time to Rapidshare*. You'll notice that several links are now active, and within a week or so we hope to have them all working again. We'll miss Megaupload, but after reading about its livin'-large CEOs in the news after the service's take-down, I gotta wonder what they were thinking. So, check back occasionally if something here interests you and soon you should be able to download it. Meanwhile, enjoy the sound links – at least they still work!
*Well, the curmudgeonly folks at Rapidshare kept threatening to remove my files because there wasn't enough activity on some of them, and I got tired of their endless warnings. So I've migrated (as they say in the IT department where I work) Gems' mp3s to the much more accommodating MediaFire. Rapidshare can go the Feds for all I care. More music to come, kids ...

Over the last century, thousands of jazz recordings have assumed their rightful place as classics of the American musical canon. But just as many extraordinary sessions have fallen by the wayside. Gems of Jazz is dedicated to bringing some of those forgotten recordings to light, offering digital versions taken from the shellac and vinyl originals.
Good to have you back Dave ... Baron
