Best Box Sets of the Last 10-15 Years, non-Mosaic Division

[Face of the Bass]

What sets would you nominate for the best box sets released since, say, 2010. No Mosaic sets please. We have more than enough discussion about them on this board. Thanks!

Here's one that I really never expected to see and am so glad that it was conceived and released:

My #1 would have to be this one that virtually doubled the amount of Julius Hemphill music available with extremely high average quality.

Los Angeles Jazz Institute released 6-CD set titled "The Complete Crazy Sunday at the Lighthouse" September 13, 1953. Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars. Many previously unreleased songs. Great notes by Ken Poston.

Braxton seems to only release boxes at this point but these 3 are ones I go back to the most. 

 

[Dub Modal]

This one from Luaka Bop as well, if anything to get this material back available in reasonable ways

 

 

One more. Great thread topic

unfortunately in the larger jazz CD world (i.e. major labels) these sort of died out around 2010, but the box sets that started to come out of the free/improv world constitute a small golden age in my book.

I'll put in for the Sony Classical Complete Albums box sets of the last decade or so. Includes both Columbia and RCA Red Seal.

Probably not of interest to many here, but for those for whom it is, great music at great prices, Real opportunities to discover some new things.

I love my Glenn Gould and Murray Perahia box sets.

And . . . this one was a dream come true.

[JSngry]

This is something that I:

A) would never have heard of/known about if this hadn't been released in this series

B) would never have bought if not so affordably priced

As it is, it's proven to be one of my favorite finds this year. Not the whole thing, mind you, but more than half of it, for sure. Them boys came to play!
