Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[Van Basten II]

Am attacking

[Clunky]

Miles & Gil - (Columbia long box) got for a good price at the weekend, lovely music of course but I'm at a loss to understand some of the liner notes from Schaap or the sequencing of the extra material on discs 4,5 & 6

[poetrylover3]

Woody Herman Mosaic Select, Disc 2

[blajay]

Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings of Clifford Brown

[shaft]

Woody Herman Mosaic Select, Disc 2

Yeah I was spinning disc 1 of this set. Great!

/Shaft

[JohnS]

Miles Davis/Gil Evans

[B. Goren.]

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Fletcher Henderson - Wrappin' it up - Quadromania

MG

[poetrylover3]

Bill Evans: Turn Out The Stars & The Last Waltz. Late Bill Evans is astounding, awe-inspiring and deeply moving

[jazzbo]

Amen!

[king ubu]

Finally opened the Storyville Ben Webster box... not just to look at the booklet but to actually play some of the music this time - right now finishing the duo session with Milt Hinton on disc 2. (Skipped disc 1, trying to more or less play the music chronologically, with the Black Lions in between.)

[gmonahan]

Art Tatum's "Tatum Art" on Storyville, disc 2. Some very fine Tatum on this set! Pretty good sound too.

played disc 3 (Stan Tracey is great here!) and just finishing disc 4 now - yesterday I squeezed in the two live Black Lions and the studio ballads Black Lion, as well as the Impulse album (See You At the Fair).

I didn't know the Latin Jazz Quintet made an album with Dolphy. Can't say I'm keen on him, but I might be interested in getting this separately, as I like the LJQ a lot. What's the original title and issue of this one, please?

perhaps it is less of a yawn.

Interesting - same name, completely different band. But pretty well contemporaneous with the Prestige session. Phil Diaz had been on an earlier (8 July) LJQ session with Shirley Scott. And Art Jenkins was on the LJQ's December 1960 and May 1961 sessions, so it wasn't entirely a bunch of people who had nothing to do with the band...
