Like so much of my recent listening, a Sonny Rollins revisitation prompted by reading Aidan Levy’s new biography:

I'm guessing at least some are vinyl rips?

Indeed. Definitely needle drop sound with plenty of noise reduction. I only bought this because it was a cheap and easy way to finally hear this music.

I have that one too and really enjoy it. That Mose Allison was really a Southern gentleman.

Completely agree! Renewed appreciation for it, especially in that regard.

I deeply disliked Goodman for a long time. Because of all that King of Swing thing. Until I realized how good he really is. And now I like him very  much. Especially on small group. Like here. And with Charlie Christian or Fletcher Henderson or Lionel Hampton.

Well, it's just a 2CD set, but it comes with a nice booklet and a case. So like a small boxset. I think I got part of this already. The Okeh and Epic sessions.

This is the only reissue including the Parrot 78's!

Thanks. So I was lucky getting it, despite having the Okeh and Epic sessions.

Progressing through this 4 disc set. Recording is a bit rough but the quality of the music played overcomes that easily.

Not in love with it - anyone want to make a deal for it?  I will say that Bonnie Herman is a great singer, and this contains 14 albums on seven CD's.

Some new-to-me Ellington:

King Oliver on the great transfers that Archophone put out a few years ago. There's so much there.
