Big Wheel Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Fantastic Catch... Thank so MUCH! Amazon is presently (April 5, 2011) offering the Nat Cole Hip-O Select 3-CD boxed set for $14.60. Riffin': The Decca, JATP, Keynote, and Mercury Recordings How complete are the sessions in that box? Are there tracks left out, or do you get everything that was recorded? (And are there any good Cole discographies online that make it easier to piece together this info myself?)

king ubu Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Quite a steal! Ordered the Cole for this price, although I'm sure I have most of the music in some form (not the Decca Cole singles, the first sessions, nor the Dexter, but the stuff with Pres and the JATP material, too).

As far as I can check all Universal owned sessions are there: Decca, Keynote and Verve including alt takes. The Decca sessions include the Eddie Cole Solid Swingers session from 1936. It was Eddie's singing they were trying to promote back then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had the JATP but there are 2 cuts not included in the cd I had of the First JATP concert plus 2 cuts from a second concert the same month.

I was too lazy to compare - I like these Hip-O boxes and this was a steal... have the JATP 10CD set though, not the single disc of the first concert.

lipi Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 There are several amazon marketplace sellers offering this 100 cd box set "Big Bands" for €39 or less: [...] There are four other sets in this series called "Classic Jazz", "Swing Time", "Bebop Story" and "Modern Jazz". There's a "Duke Ellington" one, too, a "Blues" one, and I believe a "Piano Jazz" one. These are made by Membran or whatever they call themselves these days. The sound quality isn't great--I almost always prefer other issues of the same material. Some of the discs in these sets seem to be straight rips of the OOP Chrono Classics: same track ordering, same track length, and suspiciously similar sounding. IIRC, one of the Tommy Dorsey discs in the Big Band box is a CC (or as near a CC as you can get). I was pretty excited when I first discovered these a few years ago, but I regret buying them now, because of the poor sound and confused session notes.

J.A.W. Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hans says that the Brubeck box is unauthorized. I just assumed that everything carried by Amazon is legit. No, there are lots of unauthorized releases available on Amazon. The Brubeck box has material from Fantasy (Concord) and Columbia. It was released by "Real Gone Jazz", another one of those grey European labels. Discussing releases like this is fine, but no linking please. Thanks.

David Ayers Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 OK I need to ask this now - is anyone claiming this release is illegal? It isn't, so why shouldn't this be linked? Once the material is out of copyright Sony have no right to authorise it or otherwise, because it does not belong to them. At all. Why, even, would it be our job here to police things that even Sony cannot be bothered about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
