from All About Jazz.com:
When the first episode of Icons Among Us debuted on the Documentary Channel in April, most reviewers quickly contrasted it with the last major jazz documentary: Ken Burns’s Jazz. That film infamously slighted the music’s modern age, cramming the last forty years of jazz history into its final one-hour episode. (In contrast, Burns dedicated a full two hours to the five years from 1935 through 1939.) Icons Among Us came across as a corrective, a proudly contemporary chronicle that dedicated its entire running time to championing today’s musicians and today’s scene. It’s not that Icons ignores history, but it treats past as prologue, opting for Art Kane’s wide lens on the present.

From The Register-Guard (Eugene, OR):
Although it’s based in Seattle, JazzWeek magazine’s “jazz label of the year” has Eugene’s fingerprints all over it.
Origin Records bested Concord Records, Palmetto, Sunnyside, Heads Up and HighNote Records to take the prize in late June. The winner was announced at the JazzWeek Conference held during the Rochester Jazz Festival.
The label’s founder, drummer John Bishop, accepted the award. Bishop, a 1978 South Eugene High School graduate, got most of his formal music education here, but moved to Seattle in 1981.
Reached by phone at home, he said he did not set out to start a record label. But now that he’s making a nice living at it, he said being recognized as one of the best in the country is a big honor for his business, which was nominated once before.
The origin of Origin Records goes back 12 years, when Bishop started the label to release his own album, “Now … Here …This.”
Today, Origin puts out 40 titles a year under its own name, as well as through its spinoff label, OA2 Records, and a sister imprint that focuses on classical music. A news release says the label has six Grammy nominations to its credit.

from Bloomberg News via The Seattle Times:
Microsoft, RealNetworks and Yahoo were sued by music labels that allege the companies made recordings available without getting permission.
The labels seek $150,000 for each copyright infringement and want the songs removed from the companies’ digital music stores, according to the 108-page complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Tennessee.
Songs by Aretha Franklin, the Carpenters, Grand Funk Railroad and Emmylou Harris are among those listed in the complaint. The labels allege Yahoo Music Service, RealNetworks’ Rhapsody and Microsoft’s Zune Music Service didn’t get authorization to sell music through the stores.
