Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[Chuck Nessa]

disc one of the 3CD edition

Wonderful set, so underestimated as a chronicle of improvisation at it's best.

[Son-of-a-Weizen]

The Horace Parlan box. Nice.

[brownie]

@brownie: 1954 material, what's that? "Afro"?

Material from the 'Manteca', 'Afro' an 'Diz Big Band' on Norgran/Verve.

Now enjoying

Arnvid Meyers 'Right Out of Kansas City' (Sundance), disc 2 featuring Ben Webster and also Vic Dickenson

Oh yes, it's stunning! I remember how I bought it, was still in high school and in these days before internet and credit cards, I paid well around 100$ for it in a local store (that just closed, and their asking such money for CDs was quite certainly a part in it, though that was regular among music stores here, until a few years ago).

Thanks! Will have to check some discographies to see if I have all of this. Does the box include the Gene Norman concert in its entirety? (The GNP releases, it seems, omit a pair of tracks!)

Now playing disc one of this one:

Still having fun with this one...if you're a fan of the late-60s BN HardBop sides and not heard these should give it a consider. Very good music in that vein here, good compositions, good playing, good feel, very "organic" in a way that it didn't necessarily have to be.

[brownie]

Art Tatum 'The Complete Pablo Group Masterpieces', the Ben Webster sides!

[Clunky]

Charles Mingus - Complete Debut Recordings (Fantasy)- don't listen enough to this set , firstly it's huge and secondly the sound Q is slightly below moderate.

[Bluesnik]

a very nice overview over his early and also his late years and everything in between.

[brownie]

Art Tatum 'The Complete Pablo Group Masterpieces', the Ben Webster sides!

continuing to explore this splendid set. Now listening to the Roy Eldridge sides

[brownie]

Art Pepper 'Complete Galaxy' box, CDs 5 and 6

[Head Man]

This looks really interesting...I've ordered a copy!

[T.D.]

Have been spending a lot of time with this. I prefer the more recent discs (esp. 6, 7, 8), but they're all pretty good. The occasional use of synthesizer is not really to my taste, but it's not a deal-breaker.

[ElginThompson]

Disc 1

[king ubu]

disc one right now, but will be playing more of it tonight and tomorrow

that Bailey/Nistico/Goykovich set looks great - wasn't aware of its existence at all!
