tranemonk Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 thank you... my bad :w I just now tediously and no doubt clumsily assembled this into a single thread from three (!!!) separate ones. Is it too much to ask that before starting a new thread on a topic that you look around a bit first to see if there isn't already a thread on that topic? I am not a f---ing janitor! Quote
BruceH Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 I like the 2-CD set. Not least because I can just listen to it without shelling out a hundred bucks. Quote

brownie Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 I like the 2-CD set. Not least because I can just listen to it without shelling out a hundred bucks. Might be a good idea to get the full set from France (where the box originated). Check Amazon.fr or other sellers... Quote
king ubu Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 I caught this on a website.. Never knew there were 7 CD's worth of material.... ! https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/jazz/detail/-/art/...91/hnum/9610597 I caved even though I had one of the single CDs... due to the great price :excited: The only bummer is that it appears to be back ordered.... JPC is a fine vendor. I think they don't stock it all, but this is most certainly there within the time frame they give (while with Amazon "1-2 weeks" often means never ever, that's not the case with JPC, from my experience). Also you could cancel it by logging back in, and order from Amazon.fr (see brownie's link) - the price is about the same. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 thanks.. I checked this AM and it's not saying backordered anymore... :tup Now hopefully I'll get it within a week or two...

king ubu Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Amazon.de has it for 27,99. Cool! 23.50€ for me, free shipping! Thanks a lot, just ordered one! Quote
Kyo Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Amazon.de has it for 27,99. Cool! 23.50€ for me, free shipping! Thanks a lot, just ordered one! 23.50? How did that happen? Are you sure you didn't order the old 2CD edition? Quote
brownie Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 Thought I had a good deal when I paid €26 for the 7CD box Quote
makpjazz57 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Posted December 3, 2009 My copy is on the way to my doorstep from JPC - I rec'd notification of shipment about 2 days after placing the order - not bad at all! Quote
king ubu Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Amazon.de has it for 27,99. Cool! 23.50€ for me, free shipping! Thanks a lot, just ordered one! 23.50? How did that happen? Are you sure you didn't order the old 2CD edition? Nah, that's because they take off the German VAT (and I think add the Swiss one, which is about 10% lower). This is nice now and then, as this will be cheap enough to slip through the customs without additional tax, but believe me, this is the exception! Quote
Kyo Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Ah, OK. Just how do you get free shipping to Switzerland? Quote
king ubu Posted December 4, 2009 Report Posted December 4, 2009 Ah, OK. Just how do you get free shipping to Switzerland? amazon.de (and since a few months also amazon.fr) offer free shipping for orders totalling 20€ or more (after VAT calculations). So I always attempt to create orders of a value between roughly 20 and 35€, as they'll be shipped without charges AND cheap enough to come through without custom taxes and fees. That's rather difficult with box sets and overseas orders though, as the shipping usually is so steep that it makes no sense to order just one or two discs... Anyway, I guess Amazon is offering that since they have no Swiss site. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Having just gotten through the set over the last few days... I have to say it's fabulous!!! I enjoy different versions of the same tune (especially live)... The chemistry between the two of the them was outstanding... ! Highly recommended! :tup Quote
John L Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 I wish that I would have read this thread before I picked up my copy in Amsterdam on Sunday ... for 44 EUROs. Even though the two-disc set probably contains the true cream of the gig (the selection was made by Getz himself), I prefer listening to the entire concerts as they are presented on this box set. The context adds much to the enjoyment of the music for me. That context includes a much fuller picture of Getz fighting valiantly against physical weakness to get this beautiful music out in the air. Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 Having just gotten through the set over the last few days... I have to say it's fabulous!!!

Wonderful music -- AND it came quickly, without Canadian customs charges. Quote
Kyo Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 I've been listening to this a lot since the holidays and it's really fabulous. Highly recommended! Quote
mjzee Posted March 5, 2010 Report Posted March 5, 2010 Amazon is listing this as being available in the US on April 20: People Time Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 Amazon is listing this as being available in the US on April 20: People Time The Amazon product description says it's 1 disc, not 7. Quote
brownie Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 They could not even find an image of the set cover! Amazon.can did! Quote
Ted O'Reilly Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 They could not even find an image of the set cover! Amazon.can did! I got this from German Amazon, delivered at 64 bucks Canadian. This is a great price -- 38 dollars! Highly recommended. Quote
John Tapscott Posted March 6, 2010 Report Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the tip, Brownie and Ted. That's a great price. Just ordered it. I added Stan Getz at the Shrine for $9.99 and got free shipping on the order. But the shipping date is 1-2 months hence. We'll see if it comes through. Edited March 6, 2010 by John Tapscott Quote
James Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Recommendation strongly seconded, but I myself find Getz' playing some of the most moving he ever did. The vulnerability is palpable. This is what my ears record. I got the original two-disc set, and don't know that I'd go for the new release even if I could currently afford it. Quote
