Pee Wee Russell, the Time/Life Masters of Jazz box.

How is this boxed set in terms of both selection and sound quality?

A local store has this one, and several others priced at $8. All in great shape. They also have Ben Webster. I can't think of the others right now...

Don't think I've got any Pee Wee...would this be a good introduction? :blush:

Edit: I remembered and just found the thread about these boxed sets. Seems they're worth the bucks. Not that $8 is that much. I scanned through the booklets and they seem to be cross-licensed. :tup

Just finished:

Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye - BN NY USA Mono

Now playing:

Phil Woods - Altology - Prestge mid-70's two-fer - playing side 3. Side 4 seems likely as it begins with a favorite, Miles' "Solar." But this version will be a first-time listen. :tup

You have no Pee Wee??? I have tons and never tire of them. I don't have the Jazz Giants box, but I know where I can get it. This weekend, if I can make it downtown.

I am amazed at how many boxed collections were released in the late fifties, early sixties by mail-order. And, they were relatively inexpensive. But, the best part is that when I find them now, many of them are as close to mint as I've seen any records. It seems as if people bought them because they were seduced by the great prices, but once they had them, didn't play them, or played them very seldom. Sometimes one of the records has been played, judging by the slightly more wear on the paper sleeve.

So, I guess that some people bought the sets for just part of the track list.

Jazz Giants are a relatively low-cost, good introduction to the featured artist, if you're not familiar with their work, I think, before committing yourself to individual records.

Pierre Henry - Le Voyage - (Limelight pressing)

What could be better in the morning than tape realizations based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead?

Er... Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I hear voices?

(Now, can I play that first thing tomorrow without divorce proceedings ensuing?)
