Tower Records

I cannot speak to the stock of our local NYC Towers but have been getting endless problems accessing the Tower Website. Frankly, between tax, internet-only savings, listening samples and the convenience of having it all dropped off at your door, what is the incentive of buying at a store? Talking with an ignorant cash register junior. Now the staff @DMG, that's a good reason to shop at a store. But who can afford 'em? :) -Lev -- Lev "Ljova" Zhurbin Please visit my website: ==> http://Ljova.com/ "Donuts fear mistakes - they are known." -!

tzadik musicians
by Patrick Borsarini 26 Mar '03

Reading the squid's ear review of Great Jewish Music: Sasha Argov, I got very interested in knowing what level of influence John Zorn has in selecting musicians for tzadik releases. the review states: [...]The previous double-disc celebrating Burt Bacharach is the best conceived in the series, with Zorn seeming to have played a stronger, or at least more successful, role in selecting the musicians. Tzadik's catalogue is a very consistent one and obviously Zorn cannot be always present, but somehow I always thought that the whole tzadik mechanism had the same imprinting. What do you say...

I was in the Shibuya Tower store back in September, and it was rocking. All 7 or 8 floors of it. Massive selection. They even had an Allan Holdsworth feature section, with cardboard display and everything. In traditional Tower fashion, they slip in recordings of dubious origins. The DVD floor was interesting too. Unfortunately I cant read Japanese... and the people who work there dont speak much English. -Jody

Any time now. The Jazz section was beginning to look like a charity shop when I was there 10 days ago. Some great bargains though. Richard Gardner
