Spiritual Jazz V. 14: Private on the way


ghost of miles

Recommended Posts

Thanks, I'll probably get this one, but in CD format. Experience says to "carpe diem", as these don't stay in print long.

Strangely, I own only the first disc in the series. Though tunes from various recordings I own have been included in later installments. The "private" aspect of this one means that everything will be new.

I hadn’t set out to get all 13 volumes (soon to be 14), but it’s mostly a well-curated series.

And in my defense, when I started I never dreamed the series would go on and on and on (and on) like it has.

The only volume that I already had most of of on CD, was (obviously) the Blue Note one. But I was so tickled that the included one of the three long BONUS TRACKS from the second “not-released-until-2006” Solomon Ilori session (the one with Donald Byrd and Hubert Laws) — and I also wanted to read what they’d said about it in their liners — so I bought it as a vote-of-confidence for the whole series.

(And to my own surprise, the Impluse, Steeplechase, and Prestige volumes all gave me a fair number of key tracks I was aware of and quite liked, but from albums I’d never felt strongly enough to buy.)

It’s mostly a darn good series, and almost every volume has at least 4-5 tracks I wouldn’t want to be without.  Good stuff. 👍

Oh yeah, it's an excellent series. I'd be happy to own any volume. But having missed out on the original releases, only the (extremely good) Volume 1 is easy to acquire on CD (it periodically shows up in DG's sale bin for some reason). Download seems to be the way to go for the others.
