Sony/Columbia offers much more elaborate documentation/packaging/etc. and probably deeper research and more "fastidious" remastering. That all costs money.

I've been sent a review copy of this set and will be doing a "formal" review for Bagatellen, at the request of Joe Milazzo. But I can say here and now that this Prestige box offers good value and decent documentation. Not sure that the casual Dexter fan might not be better served, at least in the short-term, by getting individual albums, but that's debateable.

I'm going to plead ignorance here but I'm not familiar with Bagatellen. Does it just cover jazz and (does it cover all kinds of jazz) and how do I subscribe?

My legal advice to Jim is to not give it away. A very thoughtful, knowledgeable, lucid review-why post here when you can charge us for your posts? I have the box and am glad I do because I will always be a Dexter fan and do not want to pay double for it when it goes OOP. I am not a musician and some of Jim's comments and insights are well beyond me or my ears, but I can vouch for a lot of good music in this box.
