Has anyone ever figured out all the details of this box?
In short, the contents:
CD1: big band (1939) + most of the solo Keystone Transcriptions (1939/49)
CD2: rest of Keystone + sextet (Associated Transcriptions)
CD3/4: trios, including a great date with Edmund Hall, one with Dizzy Gillesie and Coleman Hawkins, and one with Jay & Kai and Hank D'Amico (ca. 1953-59 - several/all[?] of these seem previously unreleased, at least on Storyville, and details remain sketchy)
CD5: trios from 1956
CD6: The Teddy Wilson Trio (now In Copenhagen) (the 1979 concert neveronfriday attended!)
CD7: Revisits the Goodman Years + bonus tracks (1980)
CD8: 6 cuts from 1968 (w/NHOP + Schiopffe) + Alone (solo, 1983)
The big band material from CD1 was on a Jazz Unlimited CD (paired with more material that's not in the box)
The 1968 material was more extensively released on The Noble Art of Teddy Wilson, I understand, and six titles (other ones than in the box) were also on Teddy's compilation in the Masters of Jazz series.
So:
- Are discs 3-5 previously unissued?
- Is the 1968 material worth tracking down?
- Is the Jazz Unlimited disc worth getting, even if one has the big band part of it in the box?
