Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[brownie]

Be Webster 'Dig Ben' (Storyville), disc 3

[jazzbo]

Lateef on Fresh Sound.

[Chuck Nessa]

Threadgill box of his Black Saint stuff. Henry is a wonderful musician and has created his own musical world. I know this has been said before but DAMN!

[jazzbo]

I have been listening to an album a day from that set the last five days. Great music. Wonderful sounding cds too!

[jeffcrom]

Late last night I got the urge to hear the "Lonely Fire/Guinnevere" session from the Complete Bitches Brew box set, since I haven't heard those tracks for quite a while. It'll be another five years before I make that mistake again. To fair, there is about six good minutes of music among the 42 minutes that were recorded.

Right now: The Complete Charlie Parker on Dial (Stash) Disc one. That's more like it.

Yes, I really prefer the Dial stuff to the Savoy recordings, I listened to the 4 discs of the Savoy's recently, including the alternate takes, and felt it was just screaming "THIS IS BEBOP" a little too much for my tastes, the Dials are a bit more groovy IMHO.

Dexter Gordon SteepleChase box, disc 5

[Van Basten II]

[Ron S]

Oscar Peterson, "Debut: The Clef/Mercury Duo Recordings 1949-1951" (Verve/Hip-O Select)

with Ray Brown/Major Holley

[Cliff Englewood]

This has been getting more of an airing in the last 2 weeks than in the last 2 years, can't get enough of it;

[B. Goren.]

Coleman Hawkins: The Complete Recordings, 1929 - 1941.

[sidewinder]

[brownie]

The Complete Bud Powell (Verve box, disc 4)

[Leeway]

Every time I dip back into Miles I find something compelling and satisfying. I'm digging this set more, with each listen.

[JohnS]

[Cliff Englewood]

The set that started this whole thread off. :g

It's a good one. :tup

Made it to disc #6 of the Miles Davis: Complete Plugged Nickel - which is actually the seventh disc in the collection because there is a 2a and a 2b.

[brownie]

Christian Chevallier 'Le Prince du Jazz' (EMI France), disc 1

[John Tapscott]

Joe Henderson - The Milestone Years

[gmonahan]

Louis Prima/Keely Smith/Sam Butera: The Capitol Recordings, on Bear Family, disc 3. Great fun!

Sort of a "Box Set Weekend:"

Jimmy Lyons: The Box Set

Cecil Taylor: Two T's for a Lovely T

Complete Mosaic Sam Rivers Blue Note Sessions

Jim Hendrix Experience (the MCA box with the velvet cover).

Atomic: Retrograde.

All highly recommended.

Shelly Manne's Complete Live at the Black Hawk

I'll probably lose my jazz lover's card for this, but I had never even heard of this material until a week or so ago. Once I learned about it and read all of the glowing reviews, I knew I had to order it immediately. And it is indeed great stuff!

Hee hee, I just bought it in April after reading how it was on so many folks' desert island lists, and indeed it qualifies. Since I only discovered my jazz affection relatively recently (2006), I suppose I too can be forgiven.

I had a few individual discs and realized quickly that all the CDs are quickly becoming OOP... So I caved and bought the set...

EXCELLENT!!! Worked for me... :blush2: :blush2:
