I believe I was at that gig. August 10, 1981?

That was the first night. The album has tracks chosen from the 10th through the 15th.

I was about to say that I was jealous, but I saw/heard this duo a few years later in Atlanta - and with a better piano. "Hooray for Herbie" fell apart going back into the head after the solos. Lacy and Waldron stopped in confusion, looked at each other for a few moments, and just started up again where they left off.

Nice to listen to this set during the last few days.. Now on the first disc, one I have special affection for as it was my introduction to west coast jazz not far off 60 years ago.

Is that on vinyl? Or was it ever on CD as well?

[jazzbo]

I've never seen that as a box on cd, but cds were issued early on in Japan.

[paul secor]

As were LPs, though I've never come across them in box form.

I just recently bought this for a decent price from a dealer on Amazon.  Listening to Disc 2 right now.  I gotta say, after acquiring a few of the Motown Complete Singles  collections, this Verve set is a bit disappointing.  Singles have two sides, so in my view, both sides of a disc should be included in a collection such as this even if the B-side is less than stellar.  The liner notes seem rather perfunctory; I guess they spent more time & effort on the book that was issued concurrently with this set.  Each disc is housed in a cardboard gatefold sleeve, but the inside of each is merely blank -- they could have at least added a few photos of various musicians there.  Still, there are many enjoyable tracks to be found here.  This set is worth getting at the right price.

I picked this up very inexpensively and have listened continuously for the past 3 days during my commute. Beautiful stuff.

Prompted by a conversation elsewhere on the board.  This is the 8cd set on Electric Bird/King. Playing disc one now.

By the time I became aware of this set, it was impossible to find. I'm envious.

Me too, though I think I have 5 of the discs as originally released  (one double cd and three single ones-- wonder what I'm missing?)
