Face of the Bass

One more update. Potentially the last chance to get these here, as I will be looking to trade many if not all in at my local record store tomorrow. Thanks!

I expect this will be better than the 1966 box. But it seems to me that these releases are really about protecting copyright. I wish they would do a really high-quality release of the best concerts from the tour (longer than 2 discs, please). I really enjoyed the Complete Budokan four-disc set that was released last year.

I have this 16-disc set for sale. Highly recommended music, and long out of print. Everything is in excellent condition, including outer box, booklet, and all 16 discs. I will offer it for cheaper than anywhere else online right now. PayPal only, PM if interested. Price includes shipping to the US. Art Pepper -- Complete Galaxy Recordings $140

I have the following set for sale. PayPal only, PM if interested. Price includes shipping to the US. Thanks for looking! Keith Jarrett -- At the Blue Note: The Complete Recordings ECM $50

Hello, I have the following set for sale. PayPal only, PM if interested. Price includes shipping to US. Thanks for looking! Bill Evans -- The Complete Bill Evans on Verve $125 (This is the original steel packaging. All discs and materials are in like new condition...no damage to any aspects of the set)

Hello, I have the following two box sets for sale. Both are in like-new condition. PayPal only, PM if interested. I highly recommend both sets. Prices include shipping to the US. Various -- Africa: 50 Years of Music, 1960-2010 (18 Discs) $70 Various -- Opika Pende: Africa at 78 RPM (Dust-to-Digital) (4 Discs) $40

One thing I'll say: if you want to get a jumpstart on an African music collection, you could do worse than just ordering a bunch of these. I'm getting rid of them really only because I have to downsize.

Bump with Sun Ra book added.

Bump with some price drops.

Hello, I have the following sets for sale. All items are in like new condition unless otherwise noted. PayPal only. PM if interested. All prices include shipping to the US. It's been a couple years probably, but I have often sold items here and have, I believe, a good track record and reputation. Thanks for looking! Modern Jazz Quartet -- The Complete Atlantic Studio Recordings of the Modern Jazz Quartet, 1956-64 Mosaic #249 $95 Various -- Classic Black & White Jazz Sessions Mosaic 273) $100 (Discs 5 through 11 still sealed.)

I actually think the Miles Blackhawk sets are underrated. Other than the Plugged Nickel box, it's probably the live Miles I prefer the most, at least from his pre-electric era.

Thanks for the info. I've dug back into the Sonny Rollins' bio, but I haven't read the Paul Chambers book yet and I really should. Years ago I nursed delusions of writing a biography of Paul Chambers. I am glad somebody actually took the time to do it.
