J.A.W. Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Looks like a compilation containing tracks from her 1956-1959 Liberty and Riverside albums and some of her 1960s-1980s albums on other labels. (edit) This set was released by Universal in Europe in 2009. It looks like a hodge-podge to me. Edited January 11, 2010 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tranemonk Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 hmm... sounds intriguing... I don't have ANY of the liberty/riverside but I wonder which of the 80's albums??? I've got almost all of her Verve output from the late 80's/90's/2000's...

(edit) This set was released by Universal in Europe in 2009. As far as I can see this set has only one or two tracks each from her one Liberty and three Riverside albums, and I think you'd be better off with the individual OJC reissues as far as the Riversides go: OJC OJCCD-069 Abbey Is Blue (Riverside 1153) OJC OJCCD-085 That's Him! (Riverside 251) OJC OJCCD-205 It's Magic (Riverside 277) Edited January 11, 2010 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Seems to be a stupid marketing ploy. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martindonaldm Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 This is a pathetic excuse for a "box set" -- it's a simple 3-disc overview of readily available recordings! Abbey has many one-off guest appearance tracks that Hip-O Select would have no trouble accessing [bheki mseleku, Frank Morgan, just for starters] and they ignored them -- I thought box sets were supposed to be about collecting the rarities and previously unreleased alternates and such. Abbey deserves better than this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbey deserves better than this! Hip-O Select could easily have included these guest appearance tracks: A Waltz for Grace - with Steve Williamson [Verve 1990] Ten Cents A Dance - with Frank Morgan [Antilles 1990] Wholly Earth - with Frank Morgan [Anitlles 1990] Through The Years - with Bheki Mseleku [Verve 1994] I Must Have That Man - Carnegie Salutes Jazz Masters [Verve 1994] Christmas Cheer - Jazz For Joy A Verve Christmas Album [Verve 1996] This Christmas - Jazz For Joy A Verve Christmas Album [Verve 1996] and if they want to be multi-label and do licensing these also are some important (and rare) guest appearances they could have included: The Maestro - with Cedar Walton [Muse 1980] Not In Love - with Cedar Walton [Muse 1980] In A Sentimental Mood - with Cedar Walton [Muse 1980] Castles - with Cedar Walton [Muse 1980] For All We Know - with Geri Allen [from Drugstore Cowboy soundtrack / Novus 1989] Straight Ahead - with Mal Waldron [bMG 1997] God Bless The Child - with Mal Waldron [bMG 1997] and these are just the guest appearances they could have included... At least they included *some* of what she did with Max Roach on Candid and Impulse! but this box set really should have been 4 discs and been far more comprehensive... Argh!

tranemonk Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Looks like they released some info on their site... http://www.hip-oselect.com/scr.public.product.asp?product_id=E44D5C7A-7659-429B-A07A-EE7E8EFD8DE3%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20&cat_id=D1A76E84-C7EF-42B5-A176-D09C914BB38D Sad... They just slapped a bunch of stuff together... Abbey deserves better.... :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 She really deserves a more comprehensive and complete(!) box ... nevertheless, the webpage linked to in the last post says "SOLD OUT!" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
