Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?


Recommended Posts

The two tracks from Grant Green's RETROSPECTIVE that feature Horace Parlan at the piano, in contemplation of purchasing the Parlan Mosaic.

The Parlan set is a must have in my opinion. I find it incredible that none of his albums has been RVGed! :wacko:

John Coltrane, "The Classic Quartet--Complete Impulse! Studio Recordings," discs 1 and 2

Even though the "complete" is inaccurate...I still really enjoy this set, it's a nice one-stop shop for a magnificent recording legacy.

Yep. :tup Now on to discs 3 and 4.

It's really good for the most part as it has most of the Savoy stuff with Lucky Thompson, but as always with these things there's a few real fuck ups.

They have "Come Rain Or Come Shine" listed as the first track of disc 3, from the January 5, 1956 Sessions, but it's actually "Angel Face" from the January 23, 1956 Sessions, which is also the first track of disc 4, and they also miss out on "What's New?" from the January 23, 1956 Session, which is a bit of a pain the the ass as the music is amazing. They also ignore the track " Hello" from the January 17, 1956 Sessions that ended up on the Atlantic album "Ballads And Blues" but have all the rest of the tracks from it !!!!!!!!!!! Also, they only have one track from the June 16, 1954 Session with Henry Boozier, and completly ignore the February 23, 1949 Sessions that ended up on Roll 'Em Bags.

But anyway, Hank Jones, Kenny Clarke and Lucky are present on alot of these Sessions and if, like me, you've never heard them before check it out in whatever form you can.

If only Mosaic would do a Set with Milt's Savoy and/or Atlantic recordings. :w:w:w

John Coltrane, "The Prestige Recordings" (Prestige), discs 5-8

c391120mfi4.jpg

:tup:tup:tup DAMN, what a great set! And that early '90s Fantasy sound quality is hard to beat, current technology notwithstanding. Real glad I picked this up for peanuts last year during the Concord Blowout Sale.

That Prestige Coltrane set is a treasure trove! Picked that set up shortly after beginning my jazz fascination and it was quite a learning experience. Between that set and the Miles Prestige box...everything branched out from there for me...
