HolyStitt Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 Art Pepper-The Hollywood All-Star Sessions Just finished disc two and now starting disc three Quote
Shrdlu Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 Not really going through the whole set, but am listening to disk 13 of the Trane Prestige set as I type. Dug it out to check the key of "I Want To Talk About You" (it's in Eb!), and stayed with the disk. What else needs to be said about that set? Does a 2 CD set count as a box set? 'Cause if it does, I want to recommend a very tasty pack: Lonehill put out a 2 CD set of the three Clark Terry/Bob Brookmeyer Mainstream LPs. Very nice, as you would expect. It omits the info that Hank Jones is on the last session, by the way. And the vocals by Clark are supported by Dave Bailey. Trouble is, after getting the CDs, I was tempted to get the three LPs (which I did not hear when new) on eBay. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Welcome back Shrdlu - you been missed. Ashamed to say I'm playing the Teddy Wilson box on "Documents". It sounds fine to me. Quote

I'm slowly appreciating this set but I'm glad I got it cheap as it's pretty repetitive, really. Nothing wrong, but solid enough but not enough variety. Quote

Nothing wrong, but solid enough but not enough variety. It sounds like you may be listening to too much of it at one time. Spread it out and savor it! I think I agree. I've got all of the LPs that make up this set (except for a bonus track or two, probably) and I wouldn't think of playing them one after another. But with boxes, there's a tendency to play them through. MG Quote
king ubu Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 Just finished disc one of the 3CD set of Transriptions by the Nat King Cole Trio (Capitol/Blue Note) Quote
sidewinder Posted March 7, 2007 Report Posted March 7, 2007 I'm finding with the Dexter set that about 2 CDs at a time is about right. Very enjoyable set ! Nothing earth-shattering but no crap either. Quote
