just re- that Count Basie/Columbia box - when I was re-mastering the small-group version of Going To Chicago for my blues thing, I was somewhat shocked to hear that the version on the old Superchief LP sounded significantly better than the one on the CD box - they did just a little too much noise reduction on it, sad to say.

Count Basie - The Complete Decca Recordings - 3 CD's (GRP) - a great set , even better, I think than the America's #1 Band set on Columbia (though I'm glad I have them both).

Yes, the music is better on the Decca set. No "dis" to the Columbias - you need those too.

First two discs of Joe Henderson's Milestone Box. For the longest time, I thought Joe Henderson's catalog ended after his Blue Note years... this box has made me realize how wrong I was.

Oh yes! There is much treasure to be mined within these 8 discs!

I loaded the set into iTunes last night and hit random play on the commute in this morning. Some great, great stuff there. And I only paid $20 for the box! The shop had another copy at that price if anyone wants me to pick it up for them. PM me.

I was just about to buy Oscar Peterson: Debut: The Clef Mercury Duo Recordings 1949-1951 and the Ella Fitzgerald: Twelve Nights in Hollywood boxed sets, when both of them, plus Billie Holiday's Master Takes of the Commodore and Decca Recordings, showed up on my porch yesterday, courtesy of Regina Joskow-Duncan, the wonderful publicist at Verve. An earlier email indicated that no promos were going out on these limited edition sets, but she made a few exceptions for a few lucky souls.
