If you want to get it all in one whack, that set is probably your best bet. There are other releases I think might sound a bit better on cd, for example all the Bird material that Savoy/Denon Japan released I personally prefer for Savoy, but that's a lot of discs not assembled in a set, and does not have the Dial material. The Spotlite might be the best way to go for Dial. In my opinion now, decades after scurrying and collecting the material, the differences in most of the releases is not VAST and for listening and studying and enjoying Bird most will suffice. . . with that Atlantic/Savoy set probably the most sensible score.

If I'm looking for more than just the master takes, is the 8CD Savoy and Dial box preferred? Or are there better discs that have the complete Savoy and Dial sides separately? I know there's this set for the Dial sides on Spotlite, for instance, that I've heard good things about.

Marcos Valle “Estatica” Far Out cd A friend of mine recommended this cd to me and I am glad I picked it up. A nice mix of styles, sounding like a 'seventies music but also more contemporary, and good sound.

Bassoonist Michael Rabinowitz with bassist Steve LaSpina plus a guitarist and drummer.

Kuhlau String Quartet Op.122 Ludvig Norman String Quartet No.6, Op.65

The first tune just started. Not something I would expect Lee Morgan to play!

Percy always strikes me as thoughtful and sincere.

It seems to me the tab called 'Philharmonic Two'. It sounds like the classical portion is first, but she mentioned Wayne Shorter.

Indeed!

In addition to Allison Au at the Rex, I stayed for the main attraction, who was Andrew Rathbun and a small group backing him. I had never heard of him, but he has a ton of recordings on Steeplechase. It was entertaining though not exactly revelatory... Apparently, he's from Toronto, lived in NYC for some time and now is in Michigan, teaching at Western Michigan University. Almost my life in reverse. 😉
