Alfred Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 (edited) This one is not often mentioned here but it is one of my favorite box sets. The Cole Porter song book is a landmark recording, the Gershwin, Ellington, Arlen, and Rodgers/Hart song books are also great. This lovely red box with the papersleeve covers has a special place on my shelf. I bought it when it was released which means that I have this one for more than 10 years! Time flies!

jazzbo Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 I've finally bought all the individual releases, I don't have the set. Some great work here. I particularly like the Irving Berlin and Johnny Mercer 'books lately, not sure why because years ago they didn't appeal to me as much! And the Ellington set always knocks my socks off, especially the full Orchestra sides! Great remastering on this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 While I don't have all the various 'books' yet, I'm too far along to go for the complete set. Still need (of all things!) the Ellington and one other. Can't remember which, as most of my CDs are already packed away for the move.

Ron S Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yourmusic.com has the whole shebang--the entire 16-disc box--for only $95.84 (with free shipping) here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Yeah. . .but the tax! It's a great deal, but like Mark I was past the point of no return when I found yourmusic.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
