Posted 10 Nov 2010 Other than the recent threads about the Bill Evans and Red Garland boxes, I don't recall much conversation here about mainstream jazz box sets on sale. I see that the Coltrane Prestige boxes can still be had fairly cheaply. Any other bargains that I don't know about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Nov 2010 The Stan Getz/Kenny Barron 7-CD "People Time" set is on sale for $35 on Amazon, which sounds like a good deal. http://www.amazon.com/People-Time-Stan-Kenny-Barron/dp/B003A0619G/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1289361228&sr=8-5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 10 Nov 2010 Thanks for the tip Sandman, it sucks that Amazon.com has raised shipping fees for non US customers. Still is a good bargain at 50 $ . Rates look the same to me. Total for this set to Japan would be around $43.00. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 10 Nov 2010 Complete Paul Desmond - Jimmy Hall Recordings: Amazon Seller $16.27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Nov 2010 Not jazz, but unlike the Desmond, an official release and a great price from an amazon seller, 22 bucks. Excellent remastering, and fantastic music. Complete Donny Hathaway Atlantic And this upcoming set is a helluva deal for the amount of discs. Even Clem sort of approves. Leonard Bernstein Sony collected Symphony recordings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Nov 2010 (edited) This is an EXCELLENT box set. There's a good deal, 55 bucks, from an amazon seller here, and possibly better deal through amazon.uk, amazon.fr or amazon.de http://www.amazon.com/Black-Saint-Soul-George-Russell/dp/B003QM1ANU/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1289401757&sr=1-1 \\ The mastering on this set is as good as the Hathaway. Previous issues of either set's material never sounded this good. Edited 10 Nov 2010 by jazzbo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
