Just got the Debut and Prestige boxes at FYE for 12.99 and 17.99 respectively.

I'm pleased with the find. Though I checked Amazon last night and the CD box is down to $40. A couple months ago only one was available at $200!

Fletcher Henderson - A Study in Frustration $25

same Same again. Exciting!

Uh ...

Get used to it. It's probable that these will be the last official CD issues of these albums ever.

I noticed that the price has skyrocketed. I'm kicking myself for sleeping on it when I originally read this thread.

I would run with it. The Young is one of the cheapest sets available, so why not buy that whenever.

In this vein (and speaking of non-BN BN CDs), Kenton's City of Glass has been fully discontinued on Amazon and is already listing at $27 used. BTW, last year's deletions are dropping like flies in this same manner so don't delay.

Yeah, this thread is only gonna get longer as the next couple years pass by ...

I'll be fascinated to see what kind of prices the Selects start to command on ebay. As much as the big boxes? Makes sense, yet seems somehow hard to imagine.

Ordered the Weston.

As for High Frequency, I would say don't hold your breath, but there will be more Blue Note issues/reissues in the future, that much has been confirmed.

And the others are: Right Now Jacknife It's Time Action Consequence correct?

Dammit, I can only buy one (even though I can technically afford neither). I think it will be the Weston.

Probably not. I'd say it requires a very specific interest to be enjoyed.

I thought Haig's Jazz Will o' the Wisp was originally on Esoteric.

I direct you to a recent interview w/ Cuscuna (http://www.openskyjazz.com/blog/?m=200905): "The Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder series will continue to revisit more Blue Note classics. But the Blue Note vault is tapped out of releasable unissued material. That’s why we started what we call internally the discovery series, looking to outside sources for new discoveries. And we hit with a megaton bang starting it off with the Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall. Charles Mingus At Cornell, and Horace Silver at Newport 1958 followed. We have a killer Freddie Hubbard album Without a Song - Live in Europe coming in June. Freddie was thrilled with this music - he told me he thought it was some of his best playing ever captured on tape. He was going to do a lot of press for it but alas… We are working on material by Andrew Hill and Wes Montgomery next."

I really don't know why I didn't just get the Parlan.

Can you explain more about what this is?

OOP: Giuffre Bechet Kenton Presents Jazz Piano Moods Roach In-Print: Armstrong Gillespie Stitt Farlow Herman

If things go according to plan and finances open up, I'll be grabbing the Farlow in the next month. I hope I'm not too late, but I don't think I will be.

Thanks anyways. That's a great site!

I was reading Gary Giddins' article "An Arbitrary Roadmap Through Post-War Jazz" on the Village Voice website, wherein he picks a track from every year 1945-2001, but the link to part II (1971-2001) was broken and google yielded nothing. Anyone have a working link to the second half, or a way to read the article in full? Help would be much appreciated!

Which none in my state, much less my city, have done...
