Fifty.

Well here's hoping an old dog can learn a new trick.

Paypal on the way.

Good old Jack Isidore. He's sort of (to my mind) a re-working of the narrator of "Confessions of a Crap-Artist" (the only mainstream novel PKD published in his lifetime). And this Jack Isidore IS a recurring character. . . in the (three?) estate-authorized novels K. W. Jeter (a friend of Dick's) wrote using the Blade Runner material (as opposed to the "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" material). Good old Jack Isidore.

If it helps anyone, this is what I ordered: Milt Jackson & Wes Montgomery Bags Meets Wes! [Keepnews Collection] Cannonball Adderley & Milt Jackson Things Are Getting Better SACD Ray Charles Genius Loves Company SACD- Marian McPartland Silent Pool SACD- Nnenna Freelon Shaking Free SACD- McCoy Tyner Illuminations SACD McCoy Tyner Land Of Giants SACD Wynton Kelly Kelly Blue SACD Chet Baker In New York SACD Art Pepper Gettin' Together! SACD Sonny Rollins Quartet Tenor Madness SACD Zoot Sims Zoot Sims And The Gershwin Brothers SACD 52.62 I shouldn't have gotten the Rollins, I have it already.

I'm not sure there is a way. The data doesn't seem to be organized well for searching in such a manner. Don't forget to use the "CMG" code

From the Concord site: *All Concord SACDs are hybrid discs compatible for listening on traditional CD players." I didn't locate a similar statement for the Fantasy ones, but I have 8 and they are all hybrids. I believe they all have been.

I couldn't find a way either. Lots of RVGs and Keepnews Collections seem priced 5.99. I found a number of SACDs for 5.98 as well. . . from Fantasy and Concord. That's a deal! Also: The code CMG still gets you 20 percent off the total.

The material on this set is very interestng. I love almost all the playing. The sound is more than adequate. Frankly, if it were released today it would probably sound better. Clearer, crisper. But it sounds decent for its vintage, it's sin is of omission, that is it is not overly bright or compressed.

Many many more happy ones!

Louis Armstrong. Seriously.

Great! My gift copies arrived today as well!

Updated. Thanks Phillipe.

Hope you get it Larry, signs are good! PS: Sent you a PM

Updated.Thanks Trane Fanatic.

Three K2s sold, thanks Ronald. Updated.

There sure are a lot of great Getz recordings as evideced by this thread. One I revisited lately and said "Wow" over is

The longevity of these sets may be limited in the way that ''Sony Special Products" cds used to be in the nineties. I have encountered some of these (like a two cd set of Miles Davis "Big Fun" and a combo cd of Newport performances from Armstrong and Ellington, "The Okeh Record Story" and there are more) that I saw and purchased in the stores and within six months they were nowhere to be found. I think they had one bare bones run of pressings and that was it Anyone pining for the Waller could look for the three cds box set "If You Got to Ask You Ain't Got It" . . . same material, fantastic restoration (I haven't heard the budget box but imagine it's the same mastering) and a fantastic, I do mean fanstastic, booklet.

Thanks for the info, I have only the original box. I'm glad this is out again, because it really is fine music, and the original Warner Bros. and the Mosaic vinyl sets are long gone. I love late Evans (I love early and middle Evans too) and these performances are top-notch. . . . Two "non-jazz" listeners to my home recently have been very interested in these recordings; I had them playing in the background and I was asked to turn them up.

Updated with Monk/Coltrane K2

That's a pity, it'll make that belated mid-life crisis a bit more difficult to pursue, I mean the leather jacket will be totally redundant for a start. I'm not going to take the bait. I'm just ignoring your silly comments from now on.

Then again, an untwisted one is not a pretty sight.

I like that lineup too, and I admit I like the Crosby "features" so to speak the most. Crosby's voice and writing/interpretations always have interested me. I was listening to some bootleg stuff of him rehearsing with the Grateful Dead for a joint appearance. . . enoye it a lot.

Cool. I thought tht was on the third one. Have my Hoopleology twisted.

Obviously the young dudes weren't doing an effective job of carrying the news!
