I can't believe that's down to $40. There are some other good CDs in the sale too.

Quite a nice set. Sound is good.

I concur... it's actually excellent.. Lots of stuff on there you won't find anywhere else... I highly recommend it.

If you're a Bird fanatic, I would recommend the Bird In Time box set, especially at $30.00. It brings together a lot of interesting stuff, and it's nice to hear Parker's voice tell some of his story.

Wow, some good deals to be had there.

Actually, to contradict TM, there's nothing in the Billie box that a fan wouldn't have found on cd in the last twenty years if he looked hard, but it's all under one cover and it sounds really good.

I thought there were several songs from movies she had been in and I don't recall those being released on another disc (e.g., Symphony in Black, the film "New Orleans," etc. I could be wrong but...

I have the Ellington on several other cds, and the other on a soundtrack cd of the movie. Again, this stuff might be hard to find now but it's been on cd before, all ESP did was compile it.

I paid full pop for this set when it came out and still feel it's a good deal; at the sale price it's a good deal inded.
