crisp Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Details from The Second Disc. Its 19 discs open with 1955’s Brubeck Time and conclude with 1966’s Plays Cole Porter – Anything Goes. As the title attests, this box does not include everything recorded by Brubeck at Columbia during his long association with the label, presenting only the studio albums of the Quartet. (Live albums and solo albums have naturally been excluded.) This box not only restores a number of out-of-print titles back to catalogue but also introduces a number of the Quartet’s albums to American CD. Also on the way: Billie Holiday, Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia 1933-1944 (Repackaging of previous set) Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Complete Columbia Albums Collection Weather Report, The Jaco Years: The Complete Columbia Albums Collection Edited September 28, 2011 by crisp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmce Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Wow, this trend just keeps getting better. Thumbs way up.Hm, limiting it to the studio albums seems a but silly, though. And I see it omits The Riddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I reckon these are one-to-one album replica without any bonus material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 On the one hand I should be happy that this is coming out: 7 of these 19 albums have never been officially released on CD in the US or Europe! But I really wish they'd just put them out individually instead of releasing such box sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think I have enough Brubeck, but if the price is right... The Lady Day re-package has been out for a while - or is that another one? Or new to the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Wow, this trend just keeps getting better. Thumbs way up. Hm, limiting it to the studio albums seems a but silly, though. And I see it omits The Riddle. The Riddle is not a "Quartet" album. No Desmond, Bill Smith on clarinet. Compositions by Smith. It doesn't belong in this box set. It's been reissued as part of a Spanish label twofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I think I have enough Brubeck, but if the price is right... That's kind of how I feel. I have an awful lot of the previously issued material (and I've have to give away another set of his "Time" albums, but never say never. Anyway, perhaps discussed elsewhere, but the Getz Complete Columbia set: http://www.popmarket.com/stan-getz-the-complete-columbia-albums-collection/details/25809734 looks like it has far more material not on CD before or at least not in the US. AFAIK, the only material here I have or even have listened to is Captain Marvel. Anyone have an opinion on the rest of the set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I have most of the material on this set. I really am not that excited by it, I've passed on the set. At least until it gets much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall15 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I wish Columbia/Sony would re-issue the following LPs on CD: 1. At Storyville (has been re-issued by Fresh Sound Records) 2. Blues Roots with Gerry Mulligan 3. In Amsterdam 4. Jackpot 5. Last Time We Saw Paris 6. The Riddle (has been re-issued by Solar Records combined with Southern Scene) 7. Tonight Only! with Carmen McRae (has been re-issued by 101 Distribution) 8. Compadres with Gerry Mulligan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) I did buy this set when Popmarket.com had it on sale a bit agol The only bonus tracks are the very few that were released on previous legacy editions. Great sound though to this set. Looking forward to the "live" box set that it's rumored is to be done.

Ken Dryden Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Russell Gloyd informed me that they are at work on a Columbia live boxed set. He didn't mention if it will be exclusively the quartet or possibly include the material with Gerry Mulligan, Jack Six and Alan Dawson (I imagine it is unlikely). One thing I know is that the set from the 1956 Newport performance edited out one song (I think it was either "The Duke" or "In Your Own Sweet Way," I haven't read the liner notes in awhile) from the Brubeck side of the LP. Also, Russell mentioned that there are a number of unissued tracks from the 1962 Concertgebouw concert, which wasn't issued on LP until 1968 or so.

crisp Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've been holding off on Their Last Time Out in case it's included in this upcoming set. It's quite cheap (£6.77) at Amazon UK at the moment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
