What are people's thoughts on the sound compared to the 3CD box?

Look forward to this with both anticipation and dread. Hearing Carlos Ward on the piece adds another variable.

Arrived from Importcds today. Beautiful set, listening to Bennie Maupin's solo on July 10 "The Beehive" right now.

Gary Bartz - Libra; Freddie Hubbard - Backlash; Stan Getz - The Master; Dizzy Reece - Manhattan Project; Art Farmer - The Time and the Place; Walt Dickerson - To My Queen Revisited.

....we're all gonna go....

Gallagher's (Oasis), Fogerty's (Creedence), Knopfler's (Dire Straits).

True pioneers. My biggest thrill in Nashville was to visit RCA Studio B. Some guy named Elvis something recorded most of his output there, but what really hit me was that "this is where the Everly Brothers recorded Cathy's Clown!". BTW, Ryman Auditorium was also a surprisingly moving experience, and the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Johnny Cash Museum both greatly exceeded my expectations. Whole trip did a lot more to me than I thought it would. My wife and two of her co-workers had a prosthetics conference there and I had just tagged along to do the driving and share some time with her.

Desperately in need of a CD issue.

Importcd's still at $59.52 + $2.99 shipping. Amazon still at $71.99 .

1966 release, so the Europeans can't get it in the PD sets - those have a 1962 cutoff.

I agree with all of that. My extensive experiences with importcds have been outstanding, but I understand others have had issues. Importcds is 59.46 + 2.99 shipping (or 1.49 for each item after first). They don't lower pre-order prices.

Got my shipping confirmation from importcds. Won't see the set until next week, I'm sure, but saved $11 from Amazon price.

Check out "Let My Children Hear Music" from the early 70's. A masterpiece.

Alice and Ali were all in, where Tyner and Elvin were heading to the exits. I actually like Concert in Japan quite a bit, my go-to for that group (along with the VV Again "My Favorite Things").

Recorded radio broadcast of George Russell in Venice, 1980. Amazing stuff.

Correct. The last "new" title was the Horace Silver Music of the Spheres thing, LT-1033 in late 1980. The LT reissues went as late as Joe Pass - Joy Spring, LT-1103 in 1981.

$59.52 on importcds.com. I think those two sites are related at this point, with popmarket.com also being in the umbrella.

I was not able to grab that one in time, and it is prohibitively expensive now . Me too. The samples sounded interesting enough, and I love that era, so I went ahead and ordered it. Not like Japanese reissues of obscure jazz titles lose their value or anything... The Hamilton's are interesting. Very non-commercial use of "commercial elements". They don't sound like anything else. But certainly an acquired taste (I was horrified by them when I got cutouts back in the 70's). Check out samples and see what you think. I went ahead and ordered them, they sound intriguing to my ears now, 45 years later . Ordered 19 CD's total, including four of the Cannonball titles, the Maneiri, these two, and other various BN's for various reasons (in the case of Turrentine and Reece, allows me to complete the single CD's and sell the Mosaics. Quick $220 spent there, but not like these opportunities come along very often.

Talking about A Love Supreme 3cd issue can. 2012, which has about 15 mins of extra outtakes not on the 2CD set (which had room for them). Milk that sacred cow 'til it"s dry... .

Can't say it's my absolute favorite, but I like it quite a bit. Can't go wrong with Flora Purim and Airto. Badly in need of CD reissue.

Fills some BN holes (especially some 70's titles) nicely for me. Especially glad to see Turrentine's "In Memory Of", which will enable to to sell off the Mosaic. Have to check out some of those Cannonball's.

Me too.

can't wait for 12 minutes of "Bass Duet" . Bet that really went down big with the club crowd. Re: Pharoah in that period. 'Tauhid' is a very interesting album, and his playing on it does not sound like what he was doing with Trane.
