WHERE was George Harrsion's Cloud Nine album recorded? Which artists have recorded Paul Desmond's Take Five? The Web Music DB site says its new database will include detailed information on as much recorded music, as possible (including old and out-of-print titles), musicians, composers, arrangers, songwriters, engineers, anecdotes and rumours, updated and maintained by the public, and supplemented by employees of the Polymorphic Data Corporation, who will make sure that current music is always included.
