Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

Friday in the car:

Getting into the first Joe Castro Sunnyside box (and finding it to be good fun), have already ordered the second, so with luck I can finish one right when it's time to start the other.

And without luck, hey, I should still get the second one.

no complaints either way.

Continuing my 1-2 albums per week pace through the Herbie Hancock Columbia box:

I'm discovering this. It is magnificent, very wide and with a good booklet. I've had it for a while but only now had a chance to listen to it.

On a Parker binge as as of late and was listening to Through The Acceptance of the Mystery Peace and decided to pull this set out. It has been much too long since I last played it.

Ben Webster: Dig Ben! (Ben Webster In Europe, 8 CD set, CD#4)

[ghost of miles]

Disc 1, which includes the soundtracks to The Pawnbroker and The Slender Thread:

A friend sent me a customized Joe Henderson coffee mug with cover images of Tetragon and Power To The People on it, inspiring me to pull out this set for a fresh listen:

Relistening to this and enjoying it very much. It's great to have that material. Cole was also an excellent pianist.

A very nicely-curated set, as noted recently by another board member: 

[Bill Nelson]

The JH 'Blue Note Years' box is well-chosen.  It takes me nearly everywhere Joe went with other BN artists, incl. his own tracks.

Great for when I'm cooking or painting and my hands are too goopy for vinyl.

A nice companion to the book I'm currently reading:

A very nice label based 5CD boxset. And interspersed with comments of what I assume is Mezzrow.

On to disc 2:

Ordered Vol. 3, which has my favourite Waller piano solos. I have very little Waller on CD, so I'm filling gaps.

Newly-arrived! And with a bonus Mosaic Brochure #4 included as well, published around the time that this set came out... so I’m assuming the original owner accidentally left it in his Keynote box:

Enjoy!  Does your copy have the Tristano 45 (Untitled Blues)?

My copy still has the original sales receipt inside.

Yes!  Plus the 40-page booklet and the photo album.  This set must have been an absolute godsend when it came out in 1986.  Just finished listening to the first two LPs and will be making my way through the rest of it over the next few days.  I have the individual CD reissues and the Fresh Sound collection, but still quite happy to revisit in this form.

Right now, I am grooving on the Getz/Barron People Time box!

My favorite Barron. Possibly my favorite Getz.

It is still the jazz box set I am grooving to right now, going to play it straight through in one day. It's so consistent that I have no problem moving on to the nest one. Sometimes I want to listen a few times to let the music sink in, because, you know, don't know when/if you're going to here THAT again THAT way. But hell, 7 CDs, keep 'em coming, it's the same thing straight through, in the very best way. Just let 'em play, let 'em flow. You could load the set up in a changer and let it play all day in a Chico's or some place like that, and nobody would notice that it ever repeated, and the few(?) who did, hey, strike up a conversation, right?

One more thing - I got a helluva deal on the box last week from Amazon, around $45. The deal was it was from "Amazon Warehouse", which I guess is the Amazon equivalent of a resuce do. The box had a little damage, and the discs were all housed in generic sleeves, but other than that, I think the packaging is intact, one jumbo poster-sized liner, tow-sided.notes thing. Not complaining!

Also - this box says that it was licensed to sunnyside Communications, so did sunnyside do the American version of this box? I recall that there for a while it was only on Verve France, or something like that. Verve France and Amazon.fr.
