I like it... I'm a huge McCoy fan... Got nearly every record... and going to see him here in Boston in March.... :excited:
Depends how much you like McCoy... I think most of us who purchased it are pretty happy... (right).... :unsure:
How is that one? I've been thinking about picking it up at some point.
.....now listening to the Tina Brooks set.
Since I'm in a vocalist mood.... :cool:
Moved onto the greatest of all time... (and I don't mean Muhammad Ali...)
Billie - The Complete Verve Master Takes... Disc 1 on digital... :wub:
One of the worst designed boxes on the planet.... :crazy:
I'd grab them all... I didn't get the Moncur as I had several of the CD's that came out under Jackie Mclean's name... The Braxton's just not my cup of tea..
Which Hill are talking about? The Solo or Select #16.. I had the Solo but it didn't really work for me... Did you get the Akiyoshi??? That'd be my vote.. (and what about the Oscar Peterson?) :rolleyes:
My New Year's Resolution is to keep plugging this idea...
Clearly as evidenced by the Anthony Braxton set... the Mosaic powers that be... do pay attention to the desires of their loyal customers....
I will STILL go on record that her recordings would do well on a Mosaic set... I'd LOVE the complete Verve recordings.. but would settle for a Select of the Roulette + Bet+Car recordings....
Who's with me?.... :excited:
What does "no-noised to death" mean? Seriously..... :unsure:
I agree with Volkher in his old post above, those Quadromania boxes suck big time sonically, they have indeed been
no-noised to death. Awful.
Okay I went back and looked at this thread.... :wacko:
so I get it... They don't pay royalties (due to differences in European licensing).... and there are no liner notes/discographical info. But on the positive side... They sound good, are ridiculously cheap and are a very good introduction to an artist you don't know anything about? I also saw something that despite their 4 CD nature... they are physically not much bigger than a single CD. Is that a good synopsis???
If so... I might have to grab a few of these..... :D
How is this??? What period does this cover? Does it duplicate what was on the Verve box? And is still available?
I managed to listen a few tracks on rhapsody and it sounds great...
What's the beef with the Quadromania label?
Disc 1 of The Greatest Jazz Concert in the World.. I can't believe both Concord and amazon are selling this set at a ridiculous price!!! $22 on concord's site and $13 on amazon's site...
This is making want that Verve JATP set more.... :w :o
