Some great music on this set . Fine in small doses , which in itself  it tricky to achieve given the length of some of the tracks. Too many medium tempo tracks and not enough high energy burners. Despite my reservations it’s a decent set but not one I’d grab if the house was on fire!

I had this set but sold it because of the reservations Clunky expressed. 

[paul secor]

Clunky makes some good points, especially that it should be listened to in small doses. I've kept it because, given that restraint, there's a lot of very good music there, and because it features some musicians that I don't have elsewhere in my collection.

[ghost of miles]

I’ve listened only to disc 1 so far, and it was quite late at night, which ended up seeming like a perfect time for it. It does have the feel of a relaxed afterhours (or after-afterhours) get-together. I’ll probably listen to the other five discs in the same manner. I bought the set because I’ve been on a Buck Clayton jag of late and another board member was offering it at a very reasonable price... quite glad to have it. But I can see (or hear) how it might be a rather sleepy fit for others. A lot of beautiful playing, though, at least through disc 1.

This is great set, I was very glad a picked it up before it went OOP. It positively changed my opinion on Liebman who I had labelled as being "not Wayne" ! 

[sidewinder]

Yep - ‘Picadilly Lilly’ is the biz. Great set and strong playing all round !

Test pressing set. Sound is phenomenal - blows the CD version away (great though that is).

Discs 1 and 2:

Braxton Arista Recordings, continued. Even more enjoyable after I understood how to find the tracks in the accompanying notes (which are of great value to me).

I've had the LP edition for about 5 years and barely played it. Whenever I try to play just about any Kenton I quickly thing other music I'd rather hear! Only picked this up as it was ultra cheap. Perhaps I should give it a try.

Call me crazy, but I think there is some real good music here.
