tranemonk Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I have to say I'm on Disc 7... and I am thrilled to have this... It's so interesting (and enjoyable) to hear a lot of his early playing... So much of his Impulse life was what's always been on the market... The price on this puppy was absolutely absurd!!!

tranemonk Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) I've got my system down pat... This set gets played in car... and the Mosaics get played working at home... (FYI right now.. got that Bud Freeman single going... It's good but hard to follow that Slide Hampton!! But thus I digress... ) I am really surprised by how much I like this set...I've got A LOT of 'Trane Impulse stuff and of course the stuff with Miles... but this was/is really enjoyable....

Ron, I know where you're coming from! I spent $165 on the Concord sale, and I think I have listened to four CDs! I didn't get the Coltrane box (wish I did), but I did get the Bill Evans, and it's still sealed. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to attack that stack!

J Larsen Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 What was this Concord sale I keep reading about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 JL, during the summer Concord at its website offered a list of OJCs and K2s for $3 each when you bought 30, plus $15 shipping. In addition, the Coltrane Prestige box and the Bill Evans Riverside box were available for about $4.50 per CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I got both those boxes cheap (one from a record club a long time ago, the other on St. Marks) and I have a pretty healthy OJC collection at this point, so it's probably not a great loss. I'm still sure I would have found a way to drop a few bucks on the sale, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
