Which Jazz box set are you grooving to right now?

[Ron S]

John Coltrane, "The Heavyweight Champion--The Complete Atlantic Recordings" (Rhino/Atlantic)

[tranemonk]

Sinatra - New York Disc 2....

[Ron S]

Ella Fitzgerald, "Twelve Nights In Hollywood" (Verve/Hip-O Select)

[Matthew]

The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux: 1973 - 1991. Disk one. The 1973 performance of the band, and it is blazing.

[brownie]

Be Webster 'Dig Ben' (Storyville), disc 3

[jazzbo]

Lateef on Fresh Sound.

[Chuck Nessa]

Threadgill box of his Black Saint stuff. Henry is a wonderful musician and has created his own musical world. I know this has been said before but DAMN!

[jazzbo]

I have been listening to an album a day from that set the last five days. Great music. Wonderful sounding cds too!

[jeffcrom]

Late last night I got the urge to hear the "Lonely Fire/Guinnevere" session from the Complete Bitches Brew box set, since I haven't heard those tracks for quite a while. It'll be another five years before I make that mistake again. To fair, there is about six good minutes of music among the 42 minutes that were recorded.

Right now: The Complete Charlie Parker on Dial (Stash) Disc one. That's more like it.

Yes, I really prefer the Dial stuff to the Savoy recordings, I listened to the 4 discs of the Savoy's recently, including the alternate takes, and felt it was just screaming "THIS IS BEBOP" a little too much for my tastes, the Dials are a bit more groovy IMHO.

[brownie]

Dexter Gordon SteepleChase box, disc 5

[Van Basten II]

[Ron S]

Oscar Peterson, "Debut: The Clef/Mercury Duo Recordings 1949-1951" (Verve/Hip-O Select)

with Ray Brown/Major Holley

[Cliff Englewood]

This has been getting more of an airing in the last 2 weeks than in the last 2 years, can't get enough of it;

[B. Goren.]

Coleman Hawkins: The Complete Recordings, 1929 - 1941.

[sidewinder]

[brownie]

The Complete Bud Powell (Verve box, disc 4)

[Leeway]

Every time I dip back into Miles I find something compelling and satisfying. I'm digging this set more, with each listen.

[JohnS]

[Cliff Englewood]

The set that started this whole thread off. :g

It's a good one. :tup

Made it to disc #6 of the Miles Davis: Complete Plugged Nickel - which is actually the seventh disc in the collection because there is a 2a and a 2b.

[John Tapscott]

Joe Henderson - The Milestone Years
