king ubu Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Last night: disc 1 of the JSP Lang/Venuti box - not all too bad, but I do think these 4CDs will do it for me and I'll do my best not to regret having missed out on the Mosaic. I wonder, who did the remastering for the JSP? Some names are always mentioned (Kendall etc.) but nothing is stated here. Quote
Van Basten II Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) Andrea Centazzo Mitteleuropa Orchestra The Complete Recordings: 1980-1983 Have not start listening to it since i just received it today but gotta say that this the packaging of this box set could have been way better ... will have to buy some cd cases. :bwallace2: Edited March 19, 2008 by Van Basten II Quote

HolyStitt Posted March 28, 2008 Report Posted March 28, 2008 Django on the Radio boxset I have heard the firs three discs and I am blown away. Even better then I would have guessed. Quote
thomastreichler Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 Art Pepper: The Hollywood All-Star Sessions (Galaxy) discs 1 and 2 wonderful music!! Quote

Jams_Runt Posted April 3, 2008 Report Posted April 3, 2008 I've been making my way through the complete "That Devilin' Tune" collection while reading the book. Damn, I'm truly amazed. Allen's really done the world a service, but I can't imagine reading the book without being able to reach for the music. I'm seven discs into the first set and look forward to getting to music I am more familiar with, but I think this collection really is a lifetime of listening, not to mention an important corrective to the usual Jazz 101 history. I'd never have checked if it wasn't for the promo, ($90 per box at Amoeba) but I am digging this completely. Quote
Van Basten II Posted April 10, 2008 Report Posted April 10, 2008 Don't know what is the consensus about this one but considering how little i own in this style of music, must say i'm enjoying it a lot. Quote

Grammy award winner - does that make a difference? I think it's a pretty good set with a few wonderful tracks. MG Quote

Grammy award winner - does that make a difference? MG Not really but i still enjoy it the same, i think this is the kind of music i enjoy most in a pot-pourri situation. differnt bands with different sounds. Like i wrote earlier, i have very little music from this era and from this sphere of music, any recommendations about compilations that would cover similar grounds but still being complementary to this fine set.

saba Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 I'm listening to The Keynote Collection. I know it's 21 CD's. I have Fourteen. What else I don't have......a track list. I just need to know title and group. I can always find dates, group members etc. in a Mercury/Emarcy discogrophy. I've tried for years to try and find a track list for the complete set but no luck. Any ideas on where to look? Thanks. Quote

Van Basten II Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) Next in line on the box set front. The story of saxophone Jazz brought to you by the same people who made the very fine series Les trésors du jazz. This 10 cd boxset gives you music by the finest players before 1956 in a chronoligical order by selected instruments. Cd 1 starts with a selection of soprano sax performers, starring Sydney Bechet and Johnny Hodges ending with a Steve Lacy performance with the piece Johnny came lately from Cecil Taylor at Newport. Afterwards, it begins the selection of Alto saxophones with Frank Trumbauer rendition of Singin' the blues circa february 1927 and it goes on with music from Otto Hardwicke, Paul "Stump" Evans, Benny Carter and many others. Unfortunately, i can't find any tracklisting available on the net. Edited April 12, 2008 by Van Basten II Quote
Noj Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 McCoy Tyner Mosaic Select Disc 1 I've had Expansions for some time, but my copy has a scratch in one of the tracks so it's great to hear it with improved sound and no glitches. Quote

saba Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Thanks for the link. Some good info there. I've contacted a friend of a friend in Japan. If she leads me to the track by track list for each CD, I'll post the link. Quote
captainwrong Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Don't know what is the consensus about this one but considering how little i own in this style of music, must say i'm enjoying it a lot. The only problem I had with that set was WEA had already released a lot of those tunes in similarly themed comps in 2003, I think. Granted, those were in the UK, but there was too much duplication for me to justify that set. Quote
jazzbo Posted April 13, 2008 Report Posted April 13, 2008 Django on the Radio boxset I have heard the firs three discs and I am blown away. Even better then I would have guessed. It is a really nice set. Glad you are enjoying it! (Especially since I sort of clued you in to it, and if you hadn't I would have steered you wrong!) Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 The big horn - The history of the honkin' and screamin' saxophone disc 3 - Boogie's the thing disc 4 - More bounce to the ounce Phew! MG Quote
