grooves-inc.com has them for pretty good prices (compared to what these Rearward's usually go for) - happy to replace my crappy "review copies" of these - just ordered all three of them!
You mean they don't tailor make each box in accordance with the amount of CDS that's in it......I'm ordering the George Russell set with 9 CDS so it might not be a problem.....they must be making 9 cd boxes for everything.
Yes and no... the Threadgill with 7 discs won't close that well, but it seems they learned and made the Russell for 9 discs a bit fatter. The Bowie with 3 discs was standard size (same as the other sets with 5 or 6 or 7 discs).
Ah well, my Lester Bowie didn't even make the few kilometres from France to here undamaged. But then wiht just three discs in there, the box is half emplty and damaged much easier than all the others.
Got Mildred Anderson's "Person to Person" upon MG's repeaded recommendations (which I found last week, doing a search here and elsewhere). Blasting out of my speakers right now... very good!
Indeed some great playing by Lockjaw!
And Anderson sounds good, too!
Don't find it so excellent, fine, but nothing more... but I got to spend more time with both the Pieranunzi and the Motian sets. I don't mind the duplications - these sets are out for such attractive prices, I really am not bothered!
Oct 5 also marks his 85th birthday... I hope to get it around that time - the set's been on its way for a few days now, but the recent ones took long to arrive.
Yeah, I'd be all for a Frémeaux COMPLETE Bird Series... 150 Volumes of 3CD sets, or whatever it would take!
A complete official/studio series is kind of pointless, I think.
Yeah, and I bet yours will be there a week before mine again
Not that I mind... still haven't dug into the Russell and Taylor sets yet.
Felt like hardbop in the past weeks and that's been rare enough in the past years, so it's been mostly Horace Silver since Saturday!
Magnetic is definitely a boot label - don't know the Bern concert, but often better-sounding version have come into circulation in the past twenty or so years that went by since these boots appeared.
