Friedrich Gulda "Musician Of Our Time" (MPS)

[Daniel A]

The huge Friedrich Gulda LP set "Musician Of Our Time: Midlife Harvest", originally released on 9 LPs by MPS in the 70s, is said to be reissued on CD later this year. I've tried to find information about this set on the web, but without success, and a look in (an old) Bruyninckx at the library was not helpful. Does anyone here know if it's made up from Gulda's MPS albums, or if it does include other material as well?

I'm not too enthusiastic about Gulda's small group work, but the little I've heard of his Eurojazz Orchestra has been more interesting.

Yep, I saw the box for sale 2nd hand quite recently. German Amazon might be a good place to look for it.

Just picked up a copy of this box today. MPS and Preiser material, by the looks of it - including the session featuring JJ Johnson and Freddie Hubbard. It will be fun to wade through it.

...including the session featuring JJ Johnson and Freddie Hubbard.

Just FYI, if you're both referring to the MPS release (first issued on Saba) "Music For 4 Soloists and Band No. 1", it was released in 2011 as a single CD, MPS/Universal 06025 2759306.
