Wow, those are painfully random. With the Henderson, for instance, you're one disc short of having all his 60s Blue Notes. I guess they make OK samplers?

I would spring for the Cassandra Wilson, I suppose.

I thought that re Wilson, then realised I never play the CDs I have of her. Time to get rid.

Mine too GA!

It's so interesting that now at the supposed end of the cd era there are these great bargains and great collections for those who may potentially begin collecting and being really intrigued with jazz. A good thing in that aspect.

Oops--sorry I didn't see that! I'll look more closely before I recommend one of these in future.

Not me :-) But I'm having these lightning deal purchases to a friend in the US so I won't get to hear the music before mid-August.

Remember there are 4 tracks missing on that one.

F

Mr. Urbina is correct with the two additional missing numbers. It's kind of a drag but I'll live with it. My primary interest in this set was getting "Sayin Something", "The Hap'nins" and "Reminiscin'", all which are fully intact.

I am only interested in "The Hap'ins" and "Reminiscin". Have the others in some sort of configuration... It is a shame when these go OOP.
