GA Russell Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Other than the recent threads about the Bill Evans and Red Garland boxes, I don't recall much conversation here about mainstream jazz box sets on sale. I see that the Coltrane Prestige boxes can still be had fairly cheaply. Any other bargains that I don't know about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 The Stan Getz/Kenny Barron 7-CD "People Time" set is on sale for $35 on Amazon, which sounds like a good deal. http://www.amazon.com/People-Time-Stan-Kenny-Barron/dp/B003A0619G/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1289361228&sr=8-5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks for the tip Sandman, it sucks that Amazon.com has raised shipping fees for non US customers. Still is a good bargain at 50 $ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thanks for the tip Sandman, it sucks that Amazon.com has raised shipping fees for non US customers. Still is a good bargain at 50 $ . Rates look the same to me. Total for this set to Japan would be around $43.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way, it proves my point, at least for Canucks don't think it should cheaper to send to Japan than to Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Complete Paul Desmond - Jimmy Hall Recordings: Amazon Seller $16.27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Not jazz, but unlike the Desmond, an official release and a great price from an amazon seller, 22 bucks. Excellent remastering, and fantastic music. Complete Donny Hathaway Atlantic And this upcoming set is a helluva deal for the amount of discs. Even Clem sort of approves.

jazzbo Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) This is an EXCELLENT box set. There's a good deal, 55 bucks, from an amazon seller here, and possibly better deal through amazon.uk, amazon.fr or amazon.de http://www.amazon.com/Black-Saint-Soul-George-Russell/dp/B003QM1ANU/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1289401757&sr=1-1 \\ The mastering on this set is as good as the Hathaway. Previous issues of either set's material never sounded this good. Edited November 10, 2010 by jazzbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjzee Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Sun Ra: Live At The Horseshoe Tavern Toronto 1978. Available from an Amazon Reseller for $37.32. For 10 discs, I think this qualifies as a bargain: Amazon (Oh, and the Horo bootleg "New Steps" is available for $9.37.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeway Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Any good deals on the Mingus/Debut box to be had? The set that will not be discounted! Has to happen sometime, doesn't it?? I recall at one time, maybe about a year ago, Concord was having a sale; discs were averaging about $6 or $7 each. I think the Mingus/Debut was included.
