Miles Davis 1965-68. Does jazz music get better than this? I don't think so.... What a fantastic set. I am really enjoying the work of Ron Carter and Tony Williams.

Working my way through the entire Anita O'Day set. For 9 CD's and almost 200 tracks I haven't come across any real duds yet.

You won't! It's a FANDAMNTASTIC set of music!

I have to second that. It's a big set, but a great one.

Lon, what's the Prima/Manone like? What could you compare the music to?

I just started exploring the great Max Roach set - discs 1-3, with "Max" (Argo) in between the two "Plays Charlie Parker" dates, now planning to continue with the tuba band dates (incl. Riverside & Time albums), after the live set from Newport 1958! Booker Little is marvellous already on the first date (disc 3)!

Oh it's early jazz, New Orleans style. . . I don't know how to explain it otherwise. Has lots of ARMSTRONG in it in the trumpeting and singing. I really like it. I'm a big fan of Wingy, and I like this early Prima much more than any later Prima; there are sides with Pee Wee Russell in the band that are very good.

Sound is very good; maybe a tad bright, depends on your system.

Well it all depends on how much you listen to the earlier stuff. .. .

I listen to this set more often than the Donaldson or Turrentine or Mitchell. . . but I'm weird. :)
