I think I can answer this, or at least shed a clue. Not from a jazz angle, but a blues angle.It's really odd, but I've had that happen twice now -- buying a used jazz CD, and noticing later that it's been signed by the artist. One of them was only about two years old at the time. It makes you wonder who goes to the trouble to buy someone's CD at a show and get it signed and then gets rid of it in a few years.
Looks like somebody needs to call in sick for the next couple of days, and get this weekend started!I don't know about today's jazz playlist but I pretty much know what will keep me busy over the weekend...

I've been to a ton of blues shows/festivals. It's really easy to get into the moment, and really dig a show. It's also really easy to see a great live act that has so-so CDs, and after listening to one a few times the 'meh' moment creeps in.
I can't see myself ever dumping a CD I bought off of the bandstand, but there are many out there who feel no need to keep 'stuff'* around that they don't use.
Yeah, I thought of that, but decided not to go there.Those are definitely possibilities, but both of the CDs are really good: Branford Marsalis' Requiem, and Kenny Garrett's Seeds From The Underground. If you liked the show that much, it's hard to believe you'd be bored with the CD.
On a cheerier note, maybe someone died.
Yeah, I thought of that, but decided not to go there.
Besides, if I drop $20 on a bandstand CD, croak a couple of years later, and nobody wants the CD, I'd be happier if that money was just left to my estate.
