Kurt Masur - The Complete Warner Classics Edition, disc 20.

Apparently, Mr. Williams played on one of the most iconic songs of the holiday season: The Waitresses "Christmas Wrapping." A huge thank you and RIP.

Art Blakey - This Is Jazz, Vol. 28.

The background of this box's music is interesting: "It was apparently Rimsky-Korsakov, himself a member of the "Mighty Handful" of Russian nationalist composers, who encouraged his students at the St. Petersburg Conservatory to go out and collect Jewish folk music and music sung in the synagogues, getting thus the ball rolling for a specific Jewish classical music. The movement led in 1908 to the founding of the St. Petersburg Society for Jewish Folk Music and, in 1923, of the Society for Jewish Music in Moscow. The success of the latter and its members was however, short-lived. The antisemitic, anti-cosmopolitan forces that started to brew under the new soviet regime led many potential members of the society to emigrate. The ones that remained were forced to focus on proletarian themes and, even when complying to the requirements, still found themselves often repressed or incarcerated outright. The last notable concert with the society's music in the Soviet Union took place in Moscow, in April of 1929. Most of this music had then lain dormant for decades until the pianist Jascha Nemtsov (himself the son of a Gulag survivor) and his musical collaborators unearthed it in the last few years of the 20th century. The present collection contains on five discs the recordings - many of them world premieres - realized between 1999 and 2004." I believe these recordings were originally released by Naxos on five individual volumes, now collected here.

Disc three. Compositions by Joseph Achron, Alexander Weprik, Alexander Krein, Joel Engel, and Lazare Saminsky; performed by Ingolf Turban (violin) and Jascha Nemtsov (piano).

Kurt Masur - The Complete Warner Classics Edition, disc 19.

There were also some other good bargains @ Blue Note, but they're no longer offering the bargains.

The Decca Sound - The Piano Edition, disc 29. Also includes the Falla "Gardens" from this:

Upon reflection, this is a very cold anecdote and doesn't reflect well on Steely Dan. They're fabulously wealthy, yet can't empathize with Tariq and Gunz's bad fortune. At some point, SD should have nullified the contract and kicked back some money to T & G. Especially considering that, unless SD wrote every note that Sample played, Sample probably had some compositional input too.

Disc two. Compositions by Alexander Weprik, Alexander Krein, Mikhail Gnessin, Grigorij Gamburg, and Ernest Bloch; performed by Tabea Zimmermann (viola) and Jascha Nemtsov (piano).
