The Prestige Sonny Stitt box set

[skeith]

It was scheduled, like the Miles box for the 1st quarter of 2006. I see Miles has a new date, where's Sonny?

[GA Russell]

I've been wondering the same thing.

When the time comes, I'm sure that they won't let it slip under the radar.

I haven't heard about this before.

Is this supposed to be everything or just the 1950's recordings?

How many discs was it planned to be?

[GA Russell]

HolyStitt, I can't find the previous post on this (and I wrote it!). As I recall, it's going to be a 3 CD set of late 40s bebop.

Thanks!

I have the three Classics CD's, so I probably won't need the set.

I was hoping that they were putting all of the 60's organ recordings together too.

It would seem to be a coupling of the 3 OJC early '50s Stitt stuff. Worthwhile but a dubious commercial enterprise.

Surely to avoid irony this needs to be followed by a smiley of some sort ? Perhaps one of these :

Ars gratia artis.....

and I want to avoid irony because?

I emailed Concord/Fantasy today regarding this, and received this reply:

"The Stitt box is kind of in limbo at the moment. It's been moved around a

lot, but I don't have a firm date for it now, unfortunately. Will report on

any news from that front when available."

[Brad]

I have this material but would like to see it nonetheless.

Thanks GA for the report.

not good news though.
