pryan Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 So I walk into this cd shop last night that I'd never been to and spot these "Columbia Jazz" compilations under the "jazz" section (these were the only "jazz" discs they had, BTW). I kind of skimmed the titles, which included many big name artists, but of course I had to have the Prez one. I knew it was a comp, but there were many tunes on it that I hadn't heard, so I made a beeline for the cash register. The guy there was of no help in telling me about the series, so I thought you guys might know something about it. The fine print reads "Compilation, 1996 Sony Music Entertainment (France)" and then underneath that it says the same thing, except that the date is 2003. So, did these comps come out a while ago and were simply "re-issued" again? I'm slightly confused on the whole matter. Please edumacate me. Quote
Philip Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 A number of the CDs in this series (Don Ellis' "Electric Bath", Giuffre's "Free Fall" and "It's Monk's Time") have turned up in US editions with additional material. Quote

Looking at various sites about (new) issues of Pres music (that is thing Pres fans often do) I found Columbia/Legacy compilation. http://www.legacyrecordings.com/catalog/ja...z/jazz-v-z.html Is it the same compilation you saw/obtained?

No, it is this one (taken from the Sony France website): Quote
