captainwrong Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Fearless Leader, Interplay and ??? Anyone know anything about when the last (I assume) set in this series is going to be released? I've been interested in some of the sessions that would be covered and resisted the temptation, but I don't know how much longer I can wait. EDIT: changed the title. Concord owns the catalog, but these are Prestige recordings. Didn't want to be confusing. Edited October 30, 2008 by Captain Wrong Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 If you don't see an announcement soon (for the Christmas market), I'd say forget it. Same for the next Prestige Miles box - I know the notes were written 2 years ago. Quote

Same for the next Prestige Miles box - I know the notes were written 2 years ago. 'Fearless Leader' and 'Interplay' are essential. The sound is gorgeous, and they may be the most enjoyable liner notes I've read. Quote
Big Al Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 I e-mailed Concord a few weeks ago and they said it was on the board for next year. But Standard Coltrane will be available as an RVG in March, as will Miles Davis' Collectors Items. In other words, I have to agree with Chuck. Quote

captainwrong Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Posted October 31, 2008 Skip the 3 small boxes and get the one big one! Too late for that now. Actually, I have some of the older bigger boxes (Miles, Tatum, Rollins, Dolphy) and I really find myself listening to these smaller 5-6 disc sets more often than the 9+ disc sets. I don't know why, but these sets just feel a bit more manageable to me for some reason. I don't think I'd have any idea where to start with the 16 disc monster. I know it is repacakag-itis for many, but I never could justify pulling the trigger for the big set. The small chunks, arranged kind of thematically as these are, make more sense to me. (Truth be told though, if I could find the Debut, Montgomery or Pepper Galaxy set at a decent price, I'd buy in a heartbeat. Especially the Debut set.) Quote
Bill B Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 Wrong, I am quite sure the Coltrane/Garland sessions of Nov/Dec 1957 will be part of that box (2 CDs) What else I'm not sure ? Quote
