You just don’t want to answer . . . Blue Note ringtones for your cell.

Filed under: Jazz Links - jazzrochester @ 12:13 pm

Blue Note Records has announced that it will make available cell phone ring tones of classic jazz riffs from its legendary label names like Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver (and the list goes on). Check the article on Allaboutjazz.com here, or a page from Blue Note’s site here (they’re pretty much the same article, but Allaboutjazz.com has already archived it so the address is less likely to change). The “Best of the Blue Tones” ringtones are portions of the actual tracks, not cheesy remakes that sound like a Casiotone keyboard from the 80s. Blue Note is working with a variety of carriers worldwide to make them available, so watch for them at your favorite ringtone location.

I just recently joined the ranks of us downtrodden masses on the cell network. One of the first things I did was download a jazz ringtone—the first few lines from Coltrane’s Giant Steps. The problem is I just don’t want to answer the phone until he’s done . . . (I know, you’re all saying “that’s a problem?”)
