Barnes & Nobel JAZZ cd’s 40% off retail price.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s?store=Music&PRO=649

So I open this link ,and in the first two rows (12 CD's) they show CD's by Boney James, Molly Ringwald, Madeleine Peyroux, Jane Monheit, Harry Connick Jr., two different titles by The Rippingtons, and "Smooth Jazz Hits: For Lovers". Makes me not anxious to scroll through the other 10,718 titles...

I searched by artist name and found what I was looking for on sale.

It's organized by "POPularity". I always go directly to the last page.

I've got to say, this is a great deal. I had this box once but didn't have time to listen to it and so I sold it. Picked up the MP3s on this deal and have been listening to it all week. Fantastic stuff. I don't normally like MP3s but in this case I think it works, because the original set doesn't have much in the way of liner notes and the lineup of musicians is the same for all 10 discs. If you want some great Cecil Taylor to listen to for a small price, this is very much worth it.

Thanks. Didn't get an email for some reason.

Although I've got a lot of CDs to catch up on (hundreds unfortunately), I ordered the Ellington Orchestra and the Jamal as (a) I want them anyway and (b) it's been a long time since I supported Mosaic and it's been bothering me slightly.

Yup, got it now.

I thought it was odd. "What, you keep trying to sell me Francis Wolff photographs and Phil Schaap's knick-knacks and you don't tell me about this?"

Those albums have not aged well for me - and I liked them (and him) back in the day. Always have found "Enigmatic Ocean", with strong guitar by Allen Holdsworth and Darryl Stuermer, to be the best of the bunch, I find myself now going to his older stuff if I am going to listen to him.

I think I'll pass on these. I am somewhat more interested in the similar Al Di Meola set, esp. from some of the secondary sellers: http://www.amazon.com/Original-Album-Classics-Al-Meola/dp/B003ZBX83M/ref=pd_sim_m_2

Not sure I will actually bite though as I have no extra shelf space at all!

Yeah, the first couple of DiMeola solo albums were good, but to my ears, he really fell off a cliff afterwards. Realistically, I'm going to go to RTF and Mahavishnu when I want to hear this sort of thing. And maybe Focus III with Akkerman at his peak. And truth be told, I'm much more likely to pull out Sugarcane Harris if I want electric violin in this vein.

Wow... I knew nothing about this label.. Were these live or studio performances or both?

I just got the Jazz on Vogue 35 CD box set and it is a tremendous bargain.

http://www.amazon.de/Jazz-Vogue-Perfect-Collection-Original/dp/B0087PI57K

Scratch that... 20 CD set.

Still a tremendous bargan, And not available for a decent price on Amazon.com US site.

I have this, and it's fine stuff, generally speaking. The 35/20 confusion is that it's 35 original albums, on 20 CDs...

Many of them ten inchers ... and most pretty good, some great. There's a long thread about the previous "original Vogue masters" series somewhere on the forums, but posting from the phone I'm not even thinking of looking for it right now.

The box is very nicely done ... got it despite having most of what's been reissued "domestically" in the past dozen or so years.
