Is this Grant Green something new or just repackaging of already issued music?

[Hardbopjazz]

I've never saw this before. The text claims to have additional previously unreleased music, but it doesn't mention what that music may be.

No it doesn't. It says it contains "all other tunes taped during those sessions but not included on the original LPs." Those additional tracks were included on the CD reissues of Sunday Morning, Grantstand, and Standards (Remembering).

So if they release it, it's a rip off. But if you download it illegally, it's okay? 

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

iTunes and I think there were some legal 4 or 5 lp groupings of these Grant Green albums released in a budget package by emi or whoever owns Blue Note these days. I think I bought one a year or so ago. Same Lps, same material. These non copyright labels are good when they bring rare and disperate records together...like the Grant Green participation on Bill Davis/johnny hodges Verve sessions...but why give money to some glorified version of a cd rip. Still I suppose there are plenty of young or curious music listeners out there who could stumble upon these and start a great listening journey...so yeah 

And 'the packaging gimmick' of 'the 1961 Summer sessions' strikes me as a lame way to grab attention.

Substitute "useful" for "good" and you got 100% agreement here.

was or wasnt there a complete baby face willette blue note sessions set

[mikeweil]

No box set - his two sessions as a leader and Grant Green's dates with Willette all were reissued on single CDs.

There were Connoisseur double CDs of the Blue Note leader dates of George Braith and Don Wilkerson.
