Concord box sets

[king ubu]

First, let me point to this other thread I started in the reissue section of the board:

Monty Alexander, George Shearing etc - new box sets and some more MPS stuff

Now I see the German Universal-related site www.jazzecho.de lists two other new boxes:

The Peterson box has been around for years, released by Fantasy back in the day.

Ah well, so it's just a re-pressed set as is the Evans... wasn't aware of its existance, sorry!

The Evans Vanguard box is not a reissue of the Japanese box, but is a newly remastered set that Concord introduced in 2005. Here's a post of mine from last year:

Just resuscitating this thread to share some information I just obtained about this set, in answer to a question that came up when the set first came out last year. I just spoke with Joe Tarantino, who is credited with the 2005 set's remastering, and he confirmed that this is, in fact, a new remastering, and not the 20-bit K2 remastering of the earlier Japanese box. I had suspected this after A-B'ing the new set with the 20-bit K2 versions of "Sunday At The Village Vanguard" and "Waltz For Debby". While there is much less tape hiss in the new set, the instruments have a more natural sound and greater presence than on the 20-bit K2s. Joe indicated that he thinks the remastering on the new set turned out very well, and I quite agree.

I second the thumbs-up on the Evans box. It's spectacular, and priced right.

I third it.

And I also was unaware about the Peterson, so thanks. Though I have too much on my plate to order it anytime soon, it's good to know these things.

I got these years ago off Universal on eBay. No idea if they still sell via eBay, but the pricing was more than fair that time.
