I'll sit with you and we can police each other!

True that! But if anybody can play in that kind of style for a movie, I think it's probably Wynton. gregmo

These are all owned by Sony, right? Since they've said they're not going to lease their stuff to other labels, I don't think we'll see any of this anytime soon. gregmo

I just figured it was the same people issuing the same stuff on differently named labels. Not true? gregmo

I love that response! You must really rate, Lon. In all my emails bugging them about sets, I've yet to get that one!! gregmo

So, is this the first thread to reach 1000 pages?! Listening to this one. Good music and, for the first time in this series, interesting liners:

Back in the late 90s--think it was the late 90s--European Universal issued all the original Play Bachs on a 7 cd box set (Play Bach, Nos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and Aux Champs Elysees on 2 cds). I was lucky enough to snag one at the time. I've always been fond of them. Not exactly earth-shattering music, but often lots of fun, as were his later efforts. RIP. gregmo

Can't go wrong with the great Mr. Five by Five!!

Some Clifford Brown on this one:

I do wonder if this set got grandfathered in before Sony announced they were no longer going to lease any material to other labels. gregmo

Well, since I was notably unhelpful to our new member in my own post, let me make up for it a little in recommending this url. It *looks* fairly complete to me: Nat King Cole Discography gregmo

Those are BIG booklets--actually large-format hard-back books. Listing all that would be a formidable undertaking!! gregmo

He did some lovely work with Paul Desmond and Frank Rosolino late in their careers. A wonderful guitarist. RIP. gregmo

Well, to be fair, it's been a long time since those were issued, but I agree that some sideman dates could make it up. I think they were just putting Jim off. gregmo

Really enjoying this one:
