michel1969 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 There's not a lot, is there? "Laura" looks like it has some significant support - and it's cheap. This one isn't expensive either - anyone care to comment? Yes, Amazon UK got the sleeve wrong This is the album http://www.amazon.co.uk/Don-Byas/dp/B0010V...9689&sr=1-3 Looking at the track list, it seems to be a random collection culled from Classics CDs. Can anyone confirm? There's also a Quadrophonic box cheap - here's the track list - not too legible, I'm afraid. Comments on these two would be welcome. MG too small to read . Please provide Quote

king ubu Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 http://www.membran.net/ - is the site to check for details of Quadromania boxes. choose "serien/label" on top then "jazz/blues" on the left then on the right "quadromania jazz" Quote

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks Flurin - spent an hour trying to read it and still made lots of mistakes. OK, anyone want to comment on this box? MG Quote
papsrus Posted September 2, 2009 Report Posted September 2, 2009 Just noticed a single used copy of "Complete American Small Group Recordings" (definitive) pop up at amazon for a cool $149.99. Quote
