Jazz in Paris Box Sets

[Brad]

I'm looking for some of those box set of Jazz in Paris that were put out a few years ago. I've looked at the likely suspects -- CD Universe and Amazon (both US and France) -- but no luck. Any ideas?

Thanks.

remember: coffret is french for box... the big boxes are available from fnac (search eg '"jazz in paris" coffret' on their site), on amazon.fr you can find some of the smaller boxes with more specific searches, eg, "rive gauche coffret" yields

Niko,

Thanks for the tip.

The four boxes (Montmartre, Champs-Elysées, Saint-Germain des Prés and Rive Gauche, Rive Droite) are OOP by now and starting to become collectors items. Same goes for the BIG box that reunited all four previous sets!

By the big box do you mean the that lists for around $800. I still see that on Amazon.

Not that one. The big box that reunited these four sets...

Those four sets and the big box are hard to find these days!

besides those two cd sets (fohrenbach, distel...) is there material in any of all those boxes that's not on individual JiP CDs as well?

Niko, there are several items that were not on the single CDs (nothing really essential).

Check Volkher's livingwithmusic listing for details!

oh, thank you! never really looked at these, thinking they were merely compilations from the albums...

I picked up the big box from someone on this board several years ago (I can't remember who). I seem to remember that the Chet Baker cd (#108) had been withdrawn as it wasn't in the box when I got it but I had no problem finding a copy on Amazon for cheap. I still haven't worked my way through the whole thing
