Charlie Haden Montreal Tapes Box Set

[colinmce]

Just a heads up, EmArcy Canada released a box set containing all the music from the 1989 Montreal Tapes. Amazon.ca has some copies; I managed to find one on Ebay for $38 US. A great way to own this music all in one place without having to pay used prices for the individual Verve US discs on Amazon or Ebay.

I'm excited to hear this stuff. What line-ups!

[tranemonk]

this is amazing music..

As I have all the individual discs... I'll be skipping this one...

I'm 90% sure the boxed set does not have anything new... (or unavailable on the individual discs...)

Can someone confirm or deny???

thanks

Does this box contain all of the officially released Haden/Montreal music?

Not all of it was released on Verve - the Haden/Gismonti set on ECM for instance.

It doens't include the set with Gismonti.

And it was discussed here, came out somewhen last fall:

[colinmce]

Yeah-- I should have said "Previously released MT music on Verve".

[alocispepraluger102]

that's amazing music, particularly the bley, haden, motian trios.

My favorite session is the one with Geri Allen.

where can this box be purchased outside eBay?

[king ubu]

I can be bought at Amazon, at least on their European sites.

I've got all the Universal/Verve sets except for the one with Rubalcaba, so I'm not going to buy the box.

The set with Metheny has never been released as far as I know. Is it included here?

[king ubu]

No - you can check out the contents (tracklists, that is - you'll need to compare with the older CDs or allmusic or something else) here:

Amazon US does not have this set

Amazon US does not have this set

But you can order through foreign Amazons. I got mine last December from Amazon.de.

I got mine from this Canadian seller, who seems to keep it in stock:

Got me a used copy of the Cherry set last week, now the only one I don't have (besides the Gismonti on ECM and the unreleased Metheny) is the trio set with Rubalcaba - how's that one?

[ghost of miles]

Got this a couple of weeks ago via Amazon Canada and plan to start listening to it during my daily commutes, starting with the Joe Henderson set tonight.
