third Dexter Gordon box-set

[mikeweil]

Sound is very good, like the OJC CDs. Having some of the sessions spread over two LPs presented in direct sequence is an advantage, IMO.

I was able to find a mint used copy at my local Zia.  Three discs in, I would say the sound is just fine.  Perhaps a tad bright, but that is a minor criticism.   Some excellent music.

These are live radio broadcasts from the Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen from the 1960s.  They were all previously released on separate Steeplechase albums bearing the names listed on the back of the box.

Thanks. This I'll pass on this one.

Where can this be ordered from?

Looks as if it's Japanese from '90 . . . likely not at all easy to find.

Yow.  Much cheaper to buy the discs individually (and they're all still in-print).

I guess I should have said hard to find . . . affordably. . . that's what I meant.
