Tony Pusey Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 Miles complete at Montreux, bought yesterday, and so far much better that I had feared. Since I own nothing post retirement-does this mean I would enjoy the regular albums? Quote
jazzbo Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 Yes, I think you'd enjoy most of them. Definitely likely to enjoy "We Want Miles," "Star People" and "Decoy." Quote
king ubu Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 yesterday finished the Storyville Duke Box and went on with the corresponding mid-forties studio discs from the RCA Centennial box (discs 14-17) - great, great music! Quote
jazzbo Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 I agree, great music. Right now the Transparency Sun Ra Detroit box again. Lots and lots of percussion right now. . . which is . . . okay. Quote
king ubu Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 Yes! I went on just now with the earliest chapter, Masters of Jazz Vol. 1 - to be continued by "The OKeh Ellington" (2CD) and "Early Ellington" (3CD) sets, and then with the respective discs from the Centennial box! Quote
John Tapscott Posted December 22, 2007 Report Posted December 22, 2007 John Coltrane - Fearless Leader (Prestige) I wish they had put the tracks in "album sequence", and the packaging, as usual with box sets (Mosaic excepted), is a bit of a pain, but nonetheless the music is wonderful! Quote

Just arrived today, and it's one monster of a box set, but I'm digging what I'm hearing. Don't know if they're selling these in order but mine is #246 for a 400 copy set. Up to disk four this evening, and it's great music to my ears. Had to happen, someone is selling this set on ebay for $300.00. Edited December 27, 2007 by Matthew Quote
