I'd say $30 tops (including shipping).

I am located in Germany. Only reasonable offers, please. If I wanted to buy the disc for $50 I would've done so already.

Thanks for the recommendation, guys! Just ordered an affordable copy of this. I like James Clay and Sonny Clark a lot and had overlooked this album somehow - until now!

Today my copy arrived from a seller in France. Paid €18,50 plus shipping, yay!

Thanks, I'll see if I can find a copy.

Is it worth getting?

Thanks for the Gene Harris Trio +1 recommendation, I somehow overlooked that one until now.

Have these tracks appeared on other CDs or download services meanwhile?

Resurrecting this thread because I just ordered the whole thing for 89 Euro. Funny thing is: It'll be the first Ella that I'll own. What an introduction. I got the idea from the Amazon Box Sets Sale thread - the Ellington Songbook set seemed interesting but then I remembered that I'd seen this much bigger collection mentioned before. Listened to the samples and just had to order it! I've never heard vocal versions of most of those tunes in my life despite knowing many of them as instrumental jazz versions. It'll be interesting to hear them that way.

It's a new archive recording, coming to the US and Europe as well. Louis Smith is on trumpet instead of Blue Mitchell, should be good!

"The truly, really Ultimate Blue Train RVG Edition (this time we mean it)"?

I never realized there was that much unissued stuff from those sessions, thanks for mentioning this! Great idea! I'd buy that expanded reissue without thinking twice even though I have the old edition!

The Burrell I've almost given up to wish for, but I would pre-order a copy at once! Me too. I started a thread about this a while ago: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...c=29033&hl= And there was another one before that: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...&hl=freedom And one about the LP: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...l=kenny+burrell The general consensus seems to be that it's a nice LP that should be reissued. I liked the "We Insist - Freedom Now!" quote.

Spring is readily available. Why not ask for something that isn't?

I'm still hoping to see Louis Smith - Smithville with those two additional tunes from the sessions. That and the remaining Magnificent That Jones disc (Vol. 3? Can't remember) would be awesome.

Wrong, it's exactly the same. He paid for the set and he'll get paid for it when he sells it. By buying the set he buys the right to use the music contained therein (including making digital copies for use in the car or whatever). By selling it he voids those rights and every copy he keeps will become an illegal copy.

Interesting discussion. I share the dislike for some 70s production values but also agree that way too much jazz from that era is not taken seriously per default just for the time it was created in. The Joe Henderson Milestone Years box is an excellent example of music with a strong 70s touch that at its best (I feel) is no worse than many 50s and 60s classics. Regarding Woody Shaw I recommend the two disc set "Last of the Line" if you can find a copy - it continues his self-produced debut album Cassandranite (with Joe Henderson on tenor and Herbie Hancock or Larry Young (!) on piano depending on the track) and the later Love Dance album recorded for Muse records.

Oh yeah, that live version of Fly with the Wind on The Greeting is awesome!

... behind "Miscellaneous music" on the forums overview page. If you don't believe me, check the alphabet!

It's not really a re-release, it's the first time it's released on CD. So it was an excellent choice by Keepnews. I like all of McCoy's Milestone albums. Those with the large ensembles/strings are probably my favorites, very powerful.

I will be buying this for sure.

This is a fantastic set, don't miss it!

I wouldn't normally go for the Gambit stuff but I'll get two tracks from them from eMusic this month. Them being two tracks from the Curtis Counce OJC Landslide that SHOULD be available from Concord - but haven't been for over a year (they just show up as missing tracks in the album's tracklist). I have contacted eMusic about such tracks on another OJC (some Shelly Manne album) last year and they still haven't bothered to re-upload those tracks. What's so difficult about that?

Finally decided I couldn't wait any longer and ordered the McCoy and Hutch Select sets. It's about time I got those!

Huh? Those three extra tracks are from Dave's album Reaching Out (often issued under Grant Green's name) that has been released on CD several times.
