| Hey Gang. Self Explanitory: Can anyone give me some specific tracks that demonstrate McCoy's "percussive" style that I've heard so much about? Thanks. | |

| "The Real McCoy"..it is one of his best albums! He plays together with Joe Henderson. Beautiful... | |

| One of the best McCoy recordings I have EVER heard, and he is jamming so hard I can't believe the piano doesn't fall apart, is: Hip Toe (Live At The Musician's Exchange Cafe) Some great tunes such as Senor Carlos and a few others are in it. I've listened to this recording so much that I can sing along with each of the songs. I highly recommend it! You can get it: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6656305&style=music&frm=lk_learnjazz | |

| ...and don´t forget all the great blue note albums he has appeared on as a sideman, for example Wayne Shorter´s "Juju" or Joe Henderson´s "In ´n out". Amazing! | |

| I should mention that the recording above, Hip Toe, is one of my "desert island" recordings. That is, if I were to be stuck on a desert island, this is one of the ten recordings I'd want to have with me. There is a LOT of great McCoy stuff out there, and most of it is damn good. But that Hip Toe recording is something else! | |

| This thread prompted me to log on to emusic.com and download some recordings for 'comping listening'. Having done this I discovered that I can't play these in Media Player. Question for you knowledgeable gurus please. Do I HAVE to download their emusic player or can I convert these filed to a format that will play in Media Player? tks. Kai. | |

| What kind of file does emusic give you? What is one of the file names? | |
| Gordon -- 10/12/2004, 12:40:57 -- #7966 | |
| The tunes I get from emusic are mp3 files. If your files also have this extension then you can play them with something like winamp: http://www.winamp.com/. If you really want to convert the files, you could probably do it with a program like easy cd da extractor: http://www.poikosoft.com/ : Input formats: MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, MP4, M4A, AAC, FLAC, Musepack, WAV, Shorten, and Monkey's Audio Output Formats: MP3, Windows Media Audio 8, Windows Media Audio 9, Windows Media Audio 9.1, Ogg Vorbis, MP4, M4A, AAC, FLAC, Musepack, VQF, WAV, AIFF, and Monkey's Audio, and any command line encoder | |

| "Enlightenment"is probably the best one for this type of thing..it's a live 2-record set w/one of his great 70's bands(Azar Lawrence,Juney Booth,one of the great drummers(forgot which)who played that kind of latin-rock-jazz feel he was into then...BTW for some related s--t take a look at the thread"recommended listening" one page in......... | |

| The files are all .emp files. I've not heard of this file extension. Thanks guys for your responses. | |

| I'm not sure, but this could be something to do with not having the download manager software. - Or maybe having a version incompatible with your OS. I'm running Windows. On my machine I need to have the download manager program in order to be able to buy a whole album at once. I remember trying to download on a machine that didn't have the download manager, and I think I got an .emp file | |
| Kai -- 10/14/2004, 06:11:27 -- #8026 | |
| Yep, checked it out with their customer service and I would need to download their player and the appropriate version for Windows XP. I'm not sure I'll bother. Thanks for your response. Kai | |
