Saint Vitus Posted June 6, 2003 Report Posted June 6, 2003 I'm looking for a comprehensive package that collects Bird's Birdland shows. I see a company called Ember has put out two 2-CD sets that appear to have most of what's available. I see a Charly box available as well. Are there others? Which one would you say is preferrable?

jazzbo Posted June 6, 2003 Report Posted June 6, 2003 The Embers I have as a four cd set, and it's excellent. It's complete up to its ending date, it has the best sound I have heard of the sessions (bests the Cool and Blue for the session with Fats as one instance.) Quote
Saint Vitus Posted June 6, 2003 Author Report Posted June 6, 2003 Thanks, Lon. I think the ones I saw are simply the splits of the box you have. A further look-see revealed another two-CD set from Ember called At Cafe Society Downtown & Birdland, which appears to continue where the Birdland sets ended. The Charly box appears to be missing some tracks ... Quote
